Here's hoping for either a new sculpt or a softer paint application when they get to the retro card Cover Girl.

So I ordered these after Big Ben, still no eta on Ben, but I finished out the wave. Next figures I'm hoping to pick up are Mutt & Junkyard and Nunchuk

Gotta say I wasn't thrill3d at having a correct Shockwave's shield

Yup, that Shockwave shield NEEDED to be corrected. And it’s a ballistic shield, not a riot shield, so it should be paired with a pistol and not a night stick.



Tripwire come with enough stuff to make 2 figures. One set for his classic look, then the extra went to an extra $6 Stalker from Ross and Tripwire has a partner.

Cools pics! That after-market Chameleon is making me nostalgic!

Newest additions to the team and a custom Firewall

I saw Mutt today at Target. He looked awesome, but not $45 awesome.

[HoovenIV]

Mutt is fantastic. But I really wish they would have provided another head for him.

When I put the "Good Boy" head on Junkyard, I don't need Mutt looking so pissed when he's petting him.

I actually kinda like it, it's like Junkyard is the one with the manners

[Dr Kain]

I was at another Target a little while ago and they had Mutt. Thanks to people's photos of him, I couldn't resist.



The additional hands helped, though must of them seem to be a bit useless. I also can't seem to figure out how to put the mask that is supposed to go over his mouth on him because it seems too small to fit over his head. I also think it's starting to shred from nearly being stretched out. I wonder if this is a situation where I need to heat it up and fit it over the hair. The sculpt is down right incredible on both Mutt and Junkyard. Unfortunately, the front legs on Junkyard are a tad loose, so it makes it hard for him to stand straight up. Not sure how I can get the polish in there to tighten it. The other nitpick is the weapons were all bent thanks to the plastic tray. Ugh. They were packed better when they were in the bags that were in the crate-like boxes.

[HoovenIV]

I just popped his head off to get the mask on.

Is it supposed to go over his ears?

Pop the head off, slip the mask under his chin, put the head back on.

Who does?

Anyway, I've decided to kick some Marvel figures out so I could expand my Joe collection to a second detolf. Even with an entire detolf to itself, Cobra looks bloated. lol Would like to add some Eels and Snow Serpents to it though.

On the other hand, the GI Joe side looks almost empty, so I've got room to add the Vamp now and some other dudes. Deciding who I should pick up.

The mutt figure has painted on chest hair.

Never even noticed. I'll have to look, but I'm not sure the issue since people have chest hair.

Its just looks bad in a comedic sense.

Found this "Snake Bite" missile system upgrade on Etsy made especially for the Python Patrol Trubble Bubble, and I knew I had to have it! Now this silly thing looks capable and formidable enough to bring down a couple of Dragonflies and Sky Strikers.



Speaking of the Trubble Bubble, just curious if any of you have glued the missile pylons (the tabbed racks) onto the sides of any of your bubbles? The pylons on both of my bubbles do not peg in very well, and I'm currently using tack to hold them in, but with the new racks, they do come off a bit easier now thanks to the weight. I'm always leery of doing something irreversible, but I'm wondering if I should try something a bit more secure and permanent in this case.

[Cyclopswc]

Yeah, I glued my pylon in, but not the missile. I figured I'd never change the pylon.

That "Snake Bite" system looks...unbalanced. 2 missiles on one side and 4 on the other? As small as the Bubble is, I imagine it'll fly tilted now. (I know, it's not real and it's just a toy, I know).

Asymmetrical loadouts (commonly referred to as a "double ugly") is not really an ideal set up, but will be implemented from time to time when a situation calls for a compromise between carrying enough fuel and ordinance to be effective in whatever the mission scenario calls for. It's not common place, but it does happen.

Besides...when have GIJOE vehicles ever made sense in terms of physics, logistics or more important...practicality?

I love that shot man. Its like the predator is just standing there saying “man this jackass just parked in my spot. Gonna have to kill him!”

Oh, I'm totally aware that Asymmetrical loadouts are possible. I'm just saying normally it's on a larger vehicle, like an A-10 or F-18, on a small 1 man bubble like the Trubble Bubble, I can just imagine it's flying tilted drooping on the 4-missiles side, or just out right spinning in circle after takeoff. Ha ha. Yes, I'm fully aware of GIJoe vehicles defying the laws of physics and just common sense in general.
