Yes to Leila, cos I'll always say yes to a new female character. Yes to Night Adder but he has to come with the guard dog.

Codename: Low-Light (DISAVOWED) File Name: MacBride, Cooper G. Primary Specialty: Infantry Secondary Specialty: Marksmanship Instructor Birthplace: Crosby, North Dakota Rank: E-6 Subject is considered armed and dangerous. Upon dissolution of the GI Joe task force, MacBride went on the lam...

It's that price point that makes it tough. I'd get 2-3 generals at 26 bucks each but not at 40. Same with the agent, since I'd get their head pack, too. The more I mess with Donner Party the more he feels less impressive than I expected. He's a good figure, but I think I built him up too much...

I was in denial that I'd ordered Maximum Deadpool to get Doop but I guess 2025 is just full of bad action figure life choices based on various degrees of depression at time of purchase. But I will not deny that Maximum Deadpool is a big upgrade from the version of him I liked best already (I...

Yeah, I've got the General in my cart right now. I'm pretty solid with what I own so far but he'd work so well with both Marvel as Ross or Joes as any number of characters he's very tempting, especially because the "suit" buck is much better than I expected it to be.

Got a few of these today. The surprise of the bunch, honestly, is the Blackwatch Agent! The promo images made him look kind of thick and blocky, but he's very streamlined, the smoothest joints of any figure in the set so far, and looks weirdly like a young Timothy Olyphant. I almost regret going...

With our game we're really laser focused so it feel like we get four hours of game into two and a half hours, too. I've got someone who plays in my weekly Weds. night game and also in a monthly one I do every few Fridays and he's pointed out that aside from folks with kids running late by 15 or...

All the protests are beautiful and inspiring. I just hope we have an equal amount of ruthless bastards working on making sure these efforts don't go wasted - it reminds me too much of the 2016 protests that were also inspiring but didn't have enough knives-out follow up to salt the earth and...

I wonder how often stuff like that happens and screws up preorders. Can't even get mad at the employees knowing how shoddily Walmart treats them.

Codename: Roadblock (DISAVOWED) File Name: Hinton, Marvin F. Primary Specialty: Infantry Heavy Weapons Secondary Specialty: Cook Birthplace: Biloxi, Mississippi Rank: E-4 Subject accepted early retirement upon dissolution of the GI Joe Unit. Witnesses heard him say that his intention was to...

Got the two 2-packs and the rest of the wave today as well. I wish Wolverine's skin tone matched other versions of him - I don't love his lack of neutral head on the 2-pack version but the colors just don't match up with any other version. Other than that though, like every other Wolverine on...

Which reminds me I need to get around to watching the Dark Skies show based on his stuff.

I don't know how intentional Hama was with it - I know he wasn't crazy about the "village people" generation of Joes who got too thematic - but I love that his two First Nations characters are so incredibly different. Airborne knows how to blend in and Spirit never lets you forget where he came...

Codename: Spirit (DISAVOWED) File Name: Iron-Knife, Charlie Primary Specialty: Infantry Secondary Specialty: Special Services Birthplace: Taos, New Mexico Rank: E-4 Subject was discharged from following the disbandment of the GI Joe Unit under President Lewis. Standard surveillance lost track...

The only two alt looks I've had trouble finding have been the Target exclusives - I never did find red Chun-Li but I I have the pink version so my player one/player two interest is mostly sated, and I think the only figure in the line I didn't love was Guiile so not getting a second version of...
