I think I actively hate Colonel Courage but I would buy him because sometimes GI Joe is so stupid you have to just go with the goofballery. The Joe who wears a tie in battle absolutely sticks around to work for the Lewis administration though.

I... would watch a Dash Rendar movie staring Jensen Ackles. I also now wonder if they got the idea for Migs Mayfield's guns from the old Dash figure.

Nope, you gotta buy at least the dice set, or one figure, or some other tier to get access to the miniatures. (The unpainted minis are crazy cheap to the point I think they must've miscalculated. I wonder if for painted if they'll use the tech Heroforge is using or have them factory painted.)

I figure a lot of Cobra troops are true believers and a lot are Blackwater types looking for a paycheck (the range vipers and stuff, the guys who are REALLY good at their jobs, were those). but yeah, the high command I think not a single one of them sees CC as anything more than a means to an end.

I do think they've dropped off - I know my excitement for them lowered when I found that Masterverse was scratching the itch for MOTU at this scale for me at a far lower price. But I still pick up the homage figures when they pop up.

Actually, one last note: for every third-party option I've ever picked up, one of my concerns is "have they introduced a game-breaking power creep that will make the players want to only use the third-party content and leaves other characters behind." I'd call good design "tempting but not...

They keep getting me with the tributes. I do wish they'd kept them in the same line because Man-E-Faces looks so different from the Mythic ones, but I think Buzz-Off is going to fit in with both lines just fine. (Mine should be here this afternoon.)

Mods may want to move this to the TTRPG thread instead but... At this point it's comparing apples to pears because the ONLY game component 4H has revealed are four species starting traits and one game mechanic, the latter of which is "during big battle, switch from minis to action figures,"...

For Voltar, I was really going for "what does a high-end Major Bludd look like? What if Bludd had taste, class, and refinement instead of whatever mania it is the drives him?" Glad that came through in the text. I honestly knew nothing and cared less about Armada til I read up her background...

He is ridiculous and I need him.

It's funny, I was most excited to write Voltar and found I just didn't quite have as much of a dramatic hook as I wanted so I leaned in on the chapter I'd call Destro's Pending Rebellion (aka Destro's parting FUCK YOOOOOUUU to Lewis). Armada I knew nothing about other than what you specifically...

I suppose there's no way of knowing, but if I look at the work that went into the Savage Crucible cards - which show that they understand 5e, understand their characters, and want to make their characters unique, flavorful, and intentional, and the vanilla slop 4H has shown in the four pages of...

One more for the night: Code Name: Toxo-Viper File Name: Various Primary Military Specialty: Chemical Weapons Secondary Military Specialty: Ordnance Birthplace: Various Rank: Viper Mark 1.5 The Lewis administration condemns the use of chemical weapons in the international theater of war. To...

I'm actually mad at myself for ignoring him so long. He's WEIRD.

Okay, so Psyche-Out's file cards from the old days... guys I'm not sure Psyche-Out is actually a good guy. He's FUCKED UP. Code Name: Psyche-Out File Name: Rich, Kenneth D. Primary Military Specialty: Psy-Ops Secondary Military Specialty: Social Services Counselor Birthplace: San Francisco...

I wasn't buying stuff during the neon trees and intrusive action features eras, but my brothers were, so I have some secondary love for the Ninja Force and such era.

I actually forgot to even open them til you asked, but I just unboxed them and honestly, as someone who runs a LOT of 5e? I could drop these cards into a game without any additional prep. The NPC cards are a little busy, but that's kind of a hallmark of Pathfinder and early 5e, and the Heraldic...

This is Mythic Legions. He will be Koooooookaii Mmonnstr because they never met a letter they didn't think they needed extra of in a character name.

Had a realization today about my collecting habits for this line and what I get most psyched about as I as setting up Crazy Legs, who is, well, NOT a subtle color palette, right? I'm definitely an O13 fan, love my greenshirt gang, friggin' overpaid for a missile launcher to get greenshirt Hawk...

I've thrown a dollar at a boardgame KS here and there to keep the option option to back late if I was REALLY on the fence on it and only once, maybe twice I ended up not upping my pledge on the last day. I thought a superbacker was someone who backed X projects over Y amount of time for Z...

The latest Kickstarter email is pretty funny. Most of the KS I've backed have had a dollar pledge level for folks who were on the fence but wanted to add things during the pledge manager. I honestly can't remember the last time that wasn't an option for something I'd backed (though I rarely if...

Do you mean Falcon or someone else for the bulbous matchup? I found visually Falcon and MF looked equally good on CL but as you mentioned before the helmet's a bit loose on MF... I just happen to prefer it a little looser to swap it out but that's a personal preference. Havn't looked at the head...

Got my SCREAMING LUNATIC Crazy Legs at lunchtime. Immediately cracked him open to try out the spare Mainframe and spare Falcon heads I had waiting for him. Both look at fit perfectly, but as has been pointed out, the helmet's a little loose on Mainframe... but I actually found it easier to swap...
