Thanks for the reminder that we STILL haven't gotten a classic Falcon since ML14, what, 20 years ago? Banned. There will be no Thing slander tolerated on this forum.

Screaming this is why I'm no longer welcome in several campus bars

That's next year's Haslab

Since my suggestion for athletes landed so well, I'm doubling down! You know what else I'd buy? All the characters from the GI Joe episode of Community! And Fumbles/Trouser Snake from Robot Chicken! He can hang out with Mo-larr!

Yeah, I'd been saying that 86 was my cut off since I wasn't interested in the new recruits from the movie or in Cobra La, but Big Boa, Croc Master, Raptor, and Crystal Ball have been such fun, well done figures, that I had to grab them. Plus they help fill out the Cobra side a bit more, who feel...

Oof. That's awful. Hate dye stains. I've heard folks having success with zit cream getting them out. Think it's a trick they picked up from doll collectors who've had the same problem. I think there's a method to it involving letting it sit outside with the cream on. I'm sure a quick Google...

Someone in my local FB collecting group posted that a store on the other side of town put up their display and had 4 Crystal Balls left. I've never thrown on a shirt and pants faster and sped my ass over there. Fortunately all 4 were still there. Boxes all smashed, but doesn't bother me...

I have no dog (or C.A.T.) in this fight, but this has been the most interested I've ever watched a Haslab.

Maybe it’s because I was expecting the worst after hearing everyone dog the figure so hard the past couple days, but Vega got here today and I quite like him. That hook for the sash is a real bizarre choice, but easily hidden with a little manipulation of the sash (probably easily removed too)...

Sonny Landham lived in the town I went to college at. I can see if anyone I know has intel on his next of kin. NECA had a hell of a time even making the couple Predator figures that they did, but it does have me thinking about some similar figures I’d buy, of the pre-Joe era Stalker, Snake...

I mean, Hasbro attempted an entire line based around current athletes, so they obviously have no issue with attaching their brand to them. Now would Steph Curry in a flak vest with a machine gun sell better than him in basketball gear? I can’t say. Now what I can say is that obviously we all...

Going back a little to the discussion about what other non-vintage figures could be added to the line to mix it up and pad it out. There’s a choice that’s bound to be a little polarizing, but what about current athletes? Just like getting Sgt Slaughter and the Fridge in the old line, they...

Why don’t we have an angry react on posts? As much as I like jabbing Resilient on the matter, I totally get wanting him in yellow and Hasbro seems to have figured out the simplest solution: just release them all twice. Iron Man’ s popular enough to pump out gold and yellows versions of all...

First step is to never sell anything Speaking of artifacts, I’m still waiting on my Evil Eye, Hasbro.

Welp. My positivity didn’t pay off. Just got the Crystal Ball cancelation notice. I don’t think he’ll be hard to find in store. But JEEZUS what an absolute mess.

Man, curse my desire for vintage accuracy. I popped the arms off my Cold Slither Ripper to take off the tattoos. And while I was wiping them off, noticed that the musculature on his bicep was funny. Turns out I got a Ripper with two right arms. The hands are fine, but bicep and forearm are...

I haven’t been keeping up with this thread, so pardon if it’s been mentioned and this seems like the thread to bring it up in. But the latest wave of Jazwares Pokémon figures have all been slightly retooled and are now made in Vietnam. So maybe some slightly interesting news from a fairly...

Isn’t Gorgon already rumored for a two pack release next year?

If Nightcrawler was supposed to be black, then does that mean he was just wearing a red Borat style swimsuit this whole time?!

I generally liked the monsters from the DND movie line. A lot of those classic DND monsters have found their way into so many JRPGs, they’re nice to have around to fight various video game characters. Really wish someone would make a decent mindflayer figure.

That’s Budo. You had me have to go back and double check because Bushido is one of the post-1987 Joes I’d 100% buy. https://www.yojoe.com/action/88/budo.shtml I think Banzai, Bushido, and v3 Major Bludd were the only true Joes I had at that time. Banzai to fill in for Vega and then Bushido...

Banzai would give us ANOTHER body for a Street Fighter Classified line. I was born in 88 so Street Fighter were technically my first ever GI Joe figures since the line was kind of stalled out by the time I was of toy-playing age. But I do remember having Banzai as a kid because he looked enough...

I didn’t even realize there was any question of if Dragon Man is a F4 character. He’ll get crammed on the top of my shelf with the likes of Watcher, Terrax, the Skrulls, Firelord, and Silver Surfer.

I’ve had a couple things come through them. Mostly from Ali Express. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky, but they haven’t been terrible? Feel like I’ve gotten things in a somewhat timely manner from them. My Crystal Ball is still sitting at “Placed”. I did get the email about my order being processed...

So now that we’ve gotten Cold Slither, that means these four are up for the next silly box set, right?
