couldn't we use a silencer from another figure like stalker?Didn't realize until now that Airborne comes with a silenced pistol (and holster) without the silencer? weak. couldn't spring the extra 5 cents? i'm going to throw the rifle's barrel in there but it doesn't fit the pistol very well...nice figure otherwise, I dig how you can fit all his helmet stuff on him at once.
Ok, now a joe post. Ells still.stuck at customs, it's like the 10th day. Idk. Lost count haha. Can't even cancel and just get the new ones cause they are here fermenting at customs.
Missed out on ferret. Upset, but know they will be back. Held off due to money and credit card space. But found out they don't charge til ship, so I messed up. When they go back up I'll get them and 2 heat seeks and maybe another vamp , but I probably should not do that. Did they offer free shipping with the ferret or recent preorders?
Now i dont feel bad about selling my 1st version Beachhead like 9 months ago. Gonna get that Retro version and keeping it.
The real question now is will this retro Beachhead have blue or brown eyes?
Did they offer free shipping with the ferret or recent preorders?
I think free shipping is for premium members only now.
I ordered two Ferrets and got free shipping. No premium here.
Don't stick them in your ear, though, they are pretty hard 😀
What? I can't hear you! I stuck them in my ears, then blood started pouring out, and now I can't hear anything...
Who knew earthquakes and tattoos would have people arguing in GI Joe thread. I grew up in California in the 80/90s, all earthquakes suck. I honestly appreciate the tattoos on some figures, gives the property a updated and more realistic feel, but more power to those who don't want them, but seriously don't insult those with tattoos.
I not only have the Arashikage symbol where they get them in canon, but I have tattoos on the backs of my hands, head & neck. I wasn't insulting anyone with tattoos. I was insulting the gang-affiliation associated with teardrop face tattoos because I have personally experienced gang violence from @$$holes with those exact tattoos (when I was a child, with zero tattoos & undiagnosed autism, minding my own business, trying to ride my bike to the library, which made them even more monstrous pieces of human filth). I wasn't aware there were so many gangbangers with face tattoos collecting G.I. Joes on the Fwoosh. My (insincere) apologies. 🙄

I really wanna give him a parachute, and Gridiron has a really nice rig, but man, I don't wanna spend $40+shipping on it... 😐
Did what I said I would, but now it's gone from the emptiest shelf in my Joe display to one of the more crowded (though Cobra still holds that disgrace, lol).
Obviously going to continue to swap out Figuarts for Jada, but I don't know what to do about new characters, haha. Though, going with my themed shelves, I should absolutely put Blanka on the shelf below with the "swamp denizens," Dhalsim can go up one to the "adventure team" (with the Indiana Jones Adventure Series heroes), Vega ("M. Bison" - definitely an instance where what I grew up with is not what I prefer now) should go with Cobra, but there is no d@mn room lol, and the incoming Guile could absolutely go with Hawk & the OG13.
Man, thank you to whomever (I'm too lazy/ADHD to go back & look, I sincerely apologize lol) brought up this collaboration, even though, yes, this was not what you were initially wanting for your own display.
I think I'm comically jinxed when it comes to the women figures in this line. I picked up an extra Lady Jaye for that five dollar sale price at Walmart and I finally got one with elbows and hips that work (every Jaye I'd picked up either had a stuck hip or weirdly gummed up elbows)... and the paint on her chest is weirdly discolored. I really should try to dismantle them all and put together some Frankenstein'd best-of figure.
The discoloration isn't so bad I can't display her at least. It's just cracking me up that I've bought like four of her trying to get one that isn't wonky somehow. I just want one to hang out with Flint without breaking a hip or elbow!
@docsilence go for it! I've dismantled a couple Lady Jayes for customs, it's really easy. I suppose the only thing to fear are the drop-downs getting a little loose. I feel you with the QC hangups. I had the same issue with Tomax, went through two junky copies before I found a decent one. Knees or elbows with no friction whatsoever, just a floppy mess.
@vicious7171 I've done a little bit of customizing with Classified but haven't done boil and pops yet. Most of my figures are pretty close to perfect but I seem to get duds on ones I most anticipate getting. I'm legit anxious I'm going to get a dud Scarlett, Beachhead, or Doc.
My first Tomax and Xamot were both fine, but the Crimson three-pack I have an issue with one of their shoulders, just doesn't want to lower all the way down into resting position. Not broken but just annoying given I don't want to chase down another one. It's les frustrating when it's a solo figure.
I gave Quick Kick shoes. I guess the military in my winces seeing him doing such activities without proper protective footwear. Stripped them from a Starting Lineup dude. Not sure if I'll keep it this way or not.
I respect you guys with the guts to customize. I can't do it. If I try to disassemble a toy or repaint it, there is that moment where I sit down to begin. Then, life zooms out, so you see the United States from space. You then, after several peaceful moments of silence, see a mushroom cloud.
Lifes camera then zooms back in on me, and you see me sitting there, black all over my face, and I'm like "Damn..........I broke it."
Not successful, or generally good at disassembling these products. Thats.......what my overall point is I suppose.
I'm a super duper, junior amateur wanna be pretend customiser. I tried painting a decade ago, came out ok, but I'm glad it was just a duplicate DCUC Superman from 2009. I wanna take it back up, but it will probably never happen. I've found in the last 6/7 years or so, that the design of most of Hasbros stuff, has made it pretty easy to pop and swap. 40 sec under a hair dryer is usually good enough.
Still catching up! Scored both these guys on clearance.
Thinking doing two Devilfish and picking up Torpedo to go in a display with
