Seems like the first Fri or Monday in a while I didn't see any action figure pre-orders I had to pounce on.

After playing Gundam Battle Operation 2, I am needing to order a 1/144 Char's Zaku II but with anti-ship rifle, but seems it doesn't have the new skirt that stays put. Also wanting to order a GP01, but saw it's a really old kit where you have to paint a bunch of parts.

I got a GP02 waaaayy back in the day when Gundam 0083 was all over Cartoon Network's toonami. It isn't a model kit but an action figure. I'll post pics later.

Who's gonna buy this very expensive 1/9 scale Bandai Imagination Works Goku? Can't tell if the gi is textured plastic or fabric. I read something saying some joints will be covered in silicone and someone said they might eventually crack. My silicone Otterbox case is becoming loose, so not sure if I would pay a lot for joints that aren't durable. Looks great though. Looking forward to seeing a youtube review.

I think it said it will have alternate SSJ head, alternate face and eyes where you can make him looking off to the side.

That’s awesome, might pick it up.

Definite improvement over this clearance one I got for $6 from GameStop. Down from $25 though so not bad.

The one up top is pretty old and the box was jacked when I bought it, but it was the only one they had, so... Hey, at least I got one. :)
 
I never bought any Gundam Universe, but if they make a RX-178 Mk-II... in Titans colors.

If they're licensed to make toys, they should be able to take the sculpts straight from the latest video game 3D models.

I just saw a Star Wars fan site report two pics of the recent Luke Skywalker Hyperreal with seamless joints, that might be what this Bandai Imagine Works might use, having tears in the rubber joints.

Apparently in Gundam Battle Operation 2 video game, the Mk-II is supposed to be real killer in melee dept. I think I saw one in game wielding two beam sabers, and another time a Mk-II kept killing me quick and easy.

I think I'm gonna pass on this 6" G.I. Joe Cobra Commander, which seems to be available in navy blue and another in royal blue. I just don't like their new designs. Looks like he's wearing like a minidress.
 
They're not toys but I thought I'd post them here anyhow since comics are occasionally posted.

I had the winning big on eBay for four issues of Marvel's great old monster magazine from the '70s which completed my collection. There were nine issues in all. #1-8 & an annual. 20200615_204712.jpg

GI Joe page added a bunch of profiles to their official page, teasing/revealing which characters can be made in totoys next .

They used old character art for the new revealed character (Bats, Vipers use art from their vintage file card) other characters have art from the modern comic books (Rock and Roll) , so they probably will not look like that if they are made in to figures .

Fun facts from the Dark Horse line of G.I. Joe comics.

Chuckles has a haptic device embedded in his chest cavity so he can receive Morse code from Joe H.Q. He will also cut your throat if it means he accomplishes his mission.

Major Bludd is married with two kids and lives in the suburbs. <--- I am not making that up. Who's going to believe a bloodthirsty killer is living right under their noses in Beaver Cleaver-land?

Firefly is a contractor. He's technically not a "Cobra", they just pay really, really well. He only takes 100% of payment up front and makes no guarantees of success, but never fails a mission.

I've got to have...

Stalker
Zartan
Chuckles
Firefly

The news described some armed protesters in Hawaiian shirts as boogaloos or something like that. I wonder if they're doing G.I. Joe cosplay as Chuckles.

From the old Marvel comics, Crimson Guard live in a town as ordinary people.

Even though I bought Fortnite 6" & 4" Havoc/Firefly, I'd buy an official Hasbro Firefly 6". Also, Quick Kick (maybe Shang Chi body?), Stormshadow, old school Cobra trooper in royal blue, maybe Gung Ho.

Saw Matchbox Top Gun diecast F/A-18, F-35, some futuristic enemy plane that looks like T-50 Pak-Fa. Almost bought the F-35, but decided Tomica looks better and has a nice stand for two diff angles.

The Walmart here has no new current Marvel Legends, but absolutely full of Wasp, old Smart Hulk BAF, other really old shit that will never ever sell.

Went into Uniqlo to check out Gundam t-shirts. Saw some anniversary signs but no special Gunpla offer. Biggest size in store is XL, which is like for teenagers, not adults. Bigger sizes only online, but I'm guessing not free shipping. I would have bought maybe Hyaku Shiki and Zaku II.

Gundam Extreme Boost Maxi beta is supposed to be available for next several Saturdays and is 10GB. I should check it out.
 
Full Force News Burst podcast suggests upcoming 6" GI Joe:

Lady Jaye
BBQ
