The funny thing is the unreleased ripcord was a tiger force fig not night force. Maybe we will get a tf rippy down the road.

Just got Grunt in the mail. My first thought is that the Steel Brigade helmet in green with a gold visor makes me think of Master Chief from Halo.

Does Helix have a band-aid tattoo or is it meant to be a real band-aid?

Pretty sure it's meant to be an actual band-aid

On the other hand, the Hasbro Joe team has been going tattoo crazy. They're putting tats on everyone and everything. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a tat, considering I don't see any raised detail on it (at least from what I can tell from the photos). But I could be wrong, I hope I'm wrong, because honestly I'm bit tired of tats on Joes. Shipwreck? Sure. Rock n Roll? Maybe. Roadblock & Shooter? Unnecessary.

I agree 110%. Testor's ELO will remove them with 0 change to the plastic's surface. Some use acetone. Which may work but, it changes the surface ever so slightly. Providing it does not melt it.

Got Low Light in the mail, and I'll throw out a work of warning, the peg on the silencer seems very soft and like it will be easy to bend or break. Overall nice figure, I am glad that they kept the gun case like the 2011 figure, kind of disappointed that they didn't give him a super tiny bullet for me to try to avoid losing like they did with the 2011 figure.

Edited to add - mine didn't come with the magazine for his smaller weapon, which is lame.

Later delivery led to my also receiving Snow Job, Big Ben, and the Range Viper. The Range Viper is nice shade of blue. But it's such a gooofy design, I kind of love it.

New head for Lady Jaye

Today's reveals were the packaging for the VAMP, and name only reveals for the Iron Grenadiers and Raptor? I guess Raptor will end up being a deluxe figure due to his wings. Kind of surprised they are making him since it seems like the original figure is pretty universally hated.

[Sean C]

GI JOE fans have universally bad taste. Raptor is awesome.
I HATE 6 INCH CLASSIFIED. BUT I WILL BE BUYING RAPTOR.

Okay, not really. I'm indifferent to Classified. I did like Raptor. I am surprised he's on his way before some more liked characters.

That vehicle is a bit too rich for my wallet. Maybe I will feel different when they ship the bloody HISS.

I got a shipping notification from Walmart for the Crimson Alley Viper, Mole Rat, and Shooter. Surprised me, I expected a cancellation email. And I have received an email from Hasbro about the HISS shipping soon, so I am guessing that this is the start of the end of the year flood of figures.

Thought I take a look at my email after reading your post, and discovered that I got the notification last week Friday! Also, saw the video for the HISS attached to notification, and loved seeing the unboxing of it.

[Veronica Mars]

Got my Shooter today, I have to say she's a really cool figure, great sculpt, nice mix of parts. There was one glaring issue that I had to fix, can you guess what it was?

You didn't like her sneakers?

They look like they are missing some paint apps to make them look less dull, but I guess a sniper wouldn't wear flashy shoes in a combat situation. It's just a weird thing about the figure.

Well since she was supposedly dead maybe she was really captured and when she broke out she grabbed the first set of footwear she could find? I mean i wouldnt walk around this world barefoot, not after having been through new york and gerogie haha.
