@thwippersnapper Classified Joes are like pizza, even the worst ones aren't too bad.

Personally I'm really only interested in Spirit here, just because he looks so different than the Spirit we got.  But I'm interested in all of them enough to finally pull the trigger on Marauders BBQ.  Love Sarge's extra junk, full setup for him to go toe-to-toe with Big Boa.  I'll likely end up with all of them because I lack discipline.

This has been the story of my action figure collecting for the past 25 years

Put me in the camp who wasn't bothered by the Cover Girl or Falcon faces - I got a decent pant job for both (okay maybe not their very best but still worked for me). My only complaint about Cover Girl is that the bicep swivel on mine pops out of the socket SUPER easily. If anyone knows a quick and easy fix for that issue I'd love to hear it, cos that's the only reason she's not on display - the weight of the shotgun will actually pull it partially out of the socket which is super frustrating cos I like the figure otherwise. 

(My only complaint about this entire line is that maybe one in four figures I run into one bad joint. Lots of bad hips, Cover Girl's bicep, Lady Jay's elbows...)

Her right arm? Mine is the same way. I haven't had a chance to try any fixes on my own. My first suggestion is to heat the arm in the hopes that it reforms properly.

I was kinda hoping the ditched the ridiculous blue mixed in with dark green camo, but i guess BBQ killed any chance of that.

Marauders BBQ was 5.99 at Ross over the holidays. My Ross stores were inundated with him. Like all Joes he didn’t last a week. Even the twins are starting to become scarce. But then again I saw TF Bazookas yesterday which I have not seen since November last year.

@red_ogre Yup, the right arm! I thought about putting some blue tack in there but worried it'd just ruin the figure. Heat might help.

@docsilence I had the same arm issue with Zarana. I put some Saran wrap around the peg and the arm stays in better now.

I can't believe I missed the damn bus on the snow serpents. They were like 35 had to much going on was at the time and was gonna catch up with them when I could. They were 35 or so, only a fool would be stupid enough to army build them. Well I was that potential fool that was lol. Now i have none because all of you fools that did.

Anyone else want the old fashioned snow shoes for the retro release?

Btw, I rock these Crocs all the time in 2" or less of snow.  Clearing a driveway takes a little longer, but loads of fun.

See,  I just live in a place where we've received 1" of snow in the last 30 years, so I don't need shovel shoes

Anybody think the other two 60th anniversary joes are a marine and an airman/woman?
