What about Duke as dressed as Dutch from Predator?
The Retro Rock N Roll and Dr. Mindbender arrived today from Amazon.
First new Joes in over 4 months!
I got retro Rock n' Roll today as well. have to say I am not in love with the paint job on his face. A little too heavy with the black pain on his features and the black wash on his hair and beard looks pretty terrible. The head from the regular figure looks better IMO.
I did not order retro Mindbender since I had the previous one, but now I'm wondering if that was a mistake.
Crystal Ball seems to be back up for preorder on Walmart.com atm.
Wow, it's been quiet in here since the forums came back.
Agreed ... I miss the chatter.
I also understand why most left when the site/forums weren't working.
And on top of all of that, we're currently in a Classified drought. I haven't received a new figure since mid-January. It's been too long.
@neal Yeah I think the lack of product is the bigger factor right now, but definitely don't discount the forum downtime.
I know for me, personally, I got fired in August, didn't have a home PC until December, and don't spend a lot of time on it anyway unless I'm editing YouTube videos.
So, even if it hadn't kept crashing, I still would've been MIA.
I'm only really "back" now because I got a part time job with a desktop & minor downtime. 😕
Last Joe I got was the SAW Viper, which I didn't initially want, but saw some cool pics on Facebook that were tempting enough to give one a try, and I really dig it!
Though, unsure if I wanna get another or just keep him as a specialist. I've been trying to keep my Cobra army building to black & blue or black & red.
Purple & magenta doesn't fit my attempted fanon, lol.
@tenime How about the height on the SAW Viper? I was a bit worried about all the early reviews, and yes he is a bit on the short side, but I think it isn't as bad as those early reviews made it seem.
Also I like the helmet (again another minor issue in reviews) and am not as big a fan of the balaclava look.
Oh and anyone else pleasantly surprised, but worried, about the Rattler possibly delivering by the end of June? I'm glad to get it so, relatively, quickly. However I'm a bit concerned about possibly QC issues since this seems to have such a quick production schedule. Well quick in relation to Haslabs.
I’m personally excited for the Rattler coming soon. However I’m absolutely dreading what Haslab will be introduced during summer. I don’t want to do the pay now wait a year later bs. I’d rather do the Sentinel thing and order now and pay when ready to ship.
Saw Viper is pretty decent. Sure he could have been Roadblock height but I’m ok with it. What actually kinda pisses me off is they excluded the shin twist to save a few bucks. Like they could have added the shin twist and have the shin pads not part of the leg sculpt and be separate pieces so it would actually hide the cut.
@neal Good Lord does he look good!!! Honestly I wouldn't even think he was part of Classified if it wasn't plastered all over the pic.
Budo is a must. Been waiting on him for awhile. Looks good.
😮
That figure looks amazing. It's obviously a deluxe - they don't pack that much in to a regular release. Which is frustrating because I think I'm going to have to get two - one to display in the basic stripped down outfit and one all kitted out in the full samurai armor. Hell, You could probably get away with a third version there are so many kit options. What a great figure reveal.
Budo looks good and it looks like I can make a vintage enough version with what parts are there. I do miss the backpack and the storage it allowed for his sword and (missing) sai.
Oh hell yeah for Budo, gettin him for sure
that MMS is tempting but ill pass
