blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 I had a POC, 25th, 30th, 50th, and retaliation collection; and i was doing great until I supplemented a Mattel Batman Begins Tumbler against a Cobra Fury. The Tumbler was so much more beefier and capable. The Fury was like a pancake. To think i was planning on 2 Tumblers and a RHINO to go against the Fury and 3 HISS TANKS from POC. No way! The vehicle contrast also made me reevaluate the 3.75in figures. Yes theyre all accessorized, but I could lose parts or break these things at any time. And without Kaiser stands, they'll never pose on their own dynamically. Cheers to 3.75" Joe, but make mines 6".
Mog Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 The problem with a 6” line, especially with Hasbro, is that they’ll never make any vehicles for them. That and their size and price makes it less feasible to display an army or troop build.
Golden Arms Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) I think they will make some vehicles, but the selection will be limited. The black series has seen the snow speeder, tie fighter and x-wing just to name a few. They could easily do motor cycles, recon sled, Amarillo, asp, snow sled. Larger vehicles could feature the Hiss tank, Wolverine, water mocassin, rattler. They should do playsets and weapons packs as they would be popular and really cheap to do. 6'inch killer whale and sky striker would be a dream!! Edited June 18, 2020 by Golden Arms
sh9000 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Posted June 18, 2020 I’ll buy only 1 of the darker blue Cobra Commander. I hope for Baroness that her gold shoulder armor is removable.
blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 https://gijoe.hasbro.com/en-us The classified line on the Cobra side seems very robust- all the characters I personally wanted. I'm disappointed on the Joe's side.
jvmacross Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Been going through my storage now that I have the time and have uncovered some stuff I haven't handled in decades....found some G1 Transformers recently and now I found my stash of first issue GI Joes from the early 80's.....anyone here collect these? Several had the busted O-ring issue, but replacing the O-ring was a fairly simple process, now they feel and hold their poses as good as new! I collect only Macross these days so I probably will let these go in the For Sale thread soon. Anyway, here is what I was able to find so far.... Duke Kaboom!

blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Gung Ho and the Red Ninja look great. Pass on Pimping Destro. Would have preferred Iron Grenadiers Destro. Edited June 26, 2020 by blackconvoy_D01
David Hingtgen Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Red Ninja? More like the rusty mauve ninja...
frankell05 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Red neck Joe, rust ninja and pimpstro. Colorful wave
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 I hope they don't put in too much techy armor highlights on Storm Shadow.

Mommar Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 It's weird how many special versions are jumping off everywhere. Thanks for posting that Arctic Storm Shadow, I had no clue that was coming out.
Negotiator Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 I was gonna pass on storm shadow but saw you can take the hood off. POd all except discro.

Mog Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 I wonder if they’ll have a file card for PD Destro? PRIMARY MILITARY FUNCTION: Arms Dealer SECONDARY MILITARY FUNCTION: Escort Services Coordinator

frankell05 Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Them action force figs look pretty good too. The accessory pack will supplement the crappy weapons the classified line has
Negotiator Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 that's a helluva chin. has anyone cut off roadblock's vest? his vest is a deal breaker for me.
sh9000 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Posted July 6, 2020 I’m planning on using my 3 Gung Hos for custom Marvel Reavers Reese, Cole, and Macon.
