😪 Messing around with my Retro Duke last night-that I got months ago-and his left leg sheared off right where it connects into the leg. It has always been tight but didn't feel like it was stressing in any way. He is one of my favorites and I will definitely be getting another one. Fortunately he is not hard to find. He will be getting a serious hot water bath before moving all the joints.

wait it out til black Friday or target clearance

Vehicle tease is AWE Striker.

Thwipp!

 

From what angle?  It kind of looks like a back tire cove/running board, but so much more detailed.  An AWE Striker seems inevitable, but this almost seems bigger.

 

 

definitely the stiker

Are you guys using glue to hold that Starduster cereal box together? Folding alone won’t do it!

I plan on using white glue, yes, exactly, or wood glue and maybe coat of modge podge. I have a version that hardens for protection. Just unsure on the clarity compared to modgepodge

Footloose looks distractingly like Pedro Pascal. 

Perfectly put.

LOVE the Falcon/Quarrel set. Only... anyone else think his backpack looks ridiculous?

As I was swapping Falcon heads this morning, I realized the backpack sits just as high on the original Falcon despite not being the same base figure!

Quarrel is cool af too. I didn't realize her chest was different then Scarlet. I thought it was just an overlay but it looks like a new one.

Her chest is from Shooter.

I really hope that next vehicle is the AWE Striker,  that would look amazing in this scale.

Freaking Gridiron Studios .... They make one of the dumbest/coolest vehicles even more dumb and cool. Love it. It's such a great idea.

Warning, the gun placement could make this offensive to some.  😆

I missed the news about the bunker, too - they'll get me for a bunch of stuff if they start doing little sets like the bunker and bivouac. Those were so much fun as a kid. 

For once I was able to fix the stuck joints - a bit of shock oil and then rinsing the excess oil away with hot water got some functional shoulders on her. Still not perfect, but I was pretty annoyed she was walking around like a weight lifter with arms permanently stuck at 45 degree angles. 

OMG, I forgot they announced Footloose in all the other news! Gotta go zoom in to see the Pedro comp. 

Curious about the lack of Classified stuff for Walmart this time around, too. It'll be too bad if they do away with Night Force cos they've been doing a wonderful job with those, but I can live without buying from Walmart on the regular, too. 

@unclassified Personally I follow Preternia on socials - they were at the panel and usually have awesome coverage of stuff.

There's a Pulse Premium streaming thingie on 10-27, so maybe we get a couple more things then. But yeah, I also am cool not buying from Walmart. I admire how they always find new ways to screw me though. but I really hope for Night Force Sneak Peek and Spearhead still.

There's actually a few characters I'd be sorta on the fence about but a NF version would get me to buy. Falcon was the first one.

How long before they unveil the Python Patrol version? Two weeks? Love their stuff. Can't always afford it, but I fully support folks adding stuff to the aftermarket like this.

@ru1977 Hadn't heard about the Pulse thing. Nice. I am hopeful even if they don't do Walmart Night Force "exclusives" anymore (and seriously eff Walmart in general) they will still do Night Force figures through Pulse since they've offered most (all?) of them through Pulse in smaller batches and Hasbro loves nothing more than parts reuse through repaints. Mot of the NF figures have been like 90% repaints. Annnnd if they go through the trouble of making a posable bobcat there is no way they don't reuse that body and get us to buy him twice. 

(I may be overconfident but Classified has been so bloody good at filling in the Joes roster I feel like Spearhead and Sneak Peek are "when" and not "if" characters, but I hope I don't eat my hat for saying that out loud. This is one of rare lines where I'm more often surprised at how soon we get someone on my wishlist than if we will.)
