Yeah I got that same email about the divers as well. My bank is going to hate me.

@flexion-dynamo Not really feeling that VAMP, but the Sky Hawk and FANG look great!

I like LEOR's idea about a removable canopy for the FANG to give it some updates and the option of a classic look. The Sky Hawk definitely needs "glass" for the canopy in any update.

I preordered one each from Amazon, Pulse, and BBTS. This should give me enough time to decide if I really need three.  Will keep the BBTS discount.

Btw, one of the recent in-hand photos had the figure posed with the propulsion device pointed in the wrong direction.  Apparently it's called an "underwater scooter" if you want to Google photos.

The swamp skier in my Instagram photo is a Nonnef kit with Toyhax stickers. Nonnef cost $30 and I think Toyhax was $10. A bit more than it would have been if Hasbro did vehicle and rider. 

I think I’m going to get one diver. One of the heads look like Duke in scuba gear. So he can team up with Torpedo. The other head almost looks like Stalker. Needs a mustache. But it’s still a good looking sculpt. I guess I’ll see tomorrow.

Thwipp!

@canprime That was one of my first vehicle test prints. There are a few really nice models available.

@flexion-dynamo That is a nice Stinger.  These kinds of things make me wish I had a 3D printer.  However then I see Hasbro doing releases of stuff I would have printed so it kind of kills my desire to do it myself.   Same thing happened for a bit with Transformers.  I would be close to getting a KO/3rd Party release and then Hasbro would announce they are doing the same character.

Oh and as for a FANG......Hasbro please make sure it closely resembles the original design and not the updated "retro" release from a couple years ago.  I really dislike the rounded engine area.

Finally got my Joe shelves updated. 

Just waiting for a few pre-orders (and Doc) and for them to announce Torch, Tollbooth and Flash, and I'm basically done. 

I secretly have space for a Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem if they ever turn up anywheres, but otherwise this is everybody I had on my wishlist when the line was announced, plus a couple that turned out cool enough to be added to the list after the fact. 

I'm happy with the looks of most of them too, although I'm still honestly waiting for a Scarlett I like (maybe 4th time's the charm?) and I really hope to one day get a hooded Cobra Commander.

And I'd for sure make space for a Wolverine, even as I'm skeptical that I can make enough space for Ramen Toy's version.

Akiko under 4 dollars on Amazon, at that price she's worth it for customs or fodder. Can only buy 3.

Glad to see them finally announce Doc. He's been one I've really been waiting for and hopeful they'd release soon.

Well that was easy. 

That brings my wishlist down to two.

It's funny how man super specific childhood memories are tied to GI Joe. Just saw the Tiger Force Roadblock and Tripwire and out of nowhere was like wait: Tiger Force Tripwire was one of my absolute FAVORITE figures as a kid. For some reason my little kid brain just latched on to the tiger-striped body armor on that guy. Guess I'm in for a second version of him in Classified because that hit a nostalgia nerve like a bullseye.

Nice they gave some reveals today. Doc is better than I thought he would be all Classified up. Torch is great. I love the goofy details. I’m not sure how a flaming skull on the front of the flame thrower works. Seems it would cause problems. It looks insane. Then there are flame effects! I knew Roadblock in TF deco was coming. It made sense for Tripwire too. 

I dig it!

Thwipp!

TF Tripwire and Roadblock look great. Glad a Roadblock is finally coming with his 50. TF Tripwire was my only Tripwire when I was a kid so that's cool.

 

Torch looks perfect. Nice flame effects. Nice to have the original Dreadnok trio all finished.

 

Doc looks mostly great, and will look even better once all that clutter is removed from his torso.

Yeah...  all of these were solid reveals.   Love Doc.   Glad for Torch and more excited than I should be to continue Tiger Force.
