Anyone need a Techno Viper? I'd gladly trade it for just about any other 30th fig

tristam · 01-08-2012, 03:26 AM

i'll be getting a Scarlett and Lifeline [two of them], i already have a StormShadow..i havent opened him yet though..

i feel really irritated at how Scarlett got so little accessories :[

trebleshot · 01-09-2012, 10:45 PM

Still looking for that Storm Shadow. Elusive little ninja, ain't he? But I guess that's the point, right?

But I was able to pick up Scarlett for my Renegades team, at least. Not sure who said it (maybe Classified) but Scarlett has to be the best 3.75" female figure I have ever owned. I don't mind the lack of accessories, since she can always borrow from Duke, Tunnel Rat or Snake Eyes. I think they might have gotten too many.

Well, at least SE can hold all of his at once.

that he is! he's being sold for almost double at hobby stores over here in my country..

normal price is 500php = $11.30, but Stormie is 800php = $ 18.08! so he's a pricey bugger too! hahaha

i guess Scar can pilfer stuff from the other Scarlett's i have when i get her..too bad she didnt come with the city strike ones...

The nice part about her is that in the show she would use whatever was available, so almost any weapon works. If I actually had the CS version of her, I'd probably give the weapons to Renegades Scarlett.

In this early toy show photo , the zombi viper has multiple canisters plugged in . Did anyone get more than one canister with their's? I know it is a stupid question but you never know .
I am also wondering if any will show up with slightly different colors. The one I bought has very neutral colors compared to the photo above.

NoodleChow · 01-15-2012, 07:39 PM

yeah i think the gypped us just like duke coming with a diff gun and scarlett without her assortment of swords =(

i was thinking if i ever got a zombie, i'd cast that canister so i can have it look like the prototype.

too true..

id really want a CS Scarlett now :[

DogFashionDisco · 01-15-2012, 08:24 PM

I didn't realize that Storm Shadow was hard to find, I saw it at a Wallyworld recently for $5. Damnit.

Reaver Strike · 01-15-2012, 08:28 PM

I'm looking for the head from Lt. Slip Stream. He came with the Conquest X-30.

HISS Attack Scout And GI Joe Cycle Armor At ROSS - GI Joe News

trebleshot · 02-03-2012, 07:32 AM

That Cycle Armor is tempting. Too bad I don't have a Ross store anywhere near me.

JustryGT · 02-03-2012, 07:41 AM

Even if you did , not every Ross store gets new toys.

BigHanksCustoms · 04-05-2012, 08:21 AM

Too much awesome for one pic: Storm Shadow!

So many accessories, even the throwing dart pouch has a removable dart! Reminds me of Lowlight's ammo box with the removable bullet!

Hasbro almost always scores a home run with Joes, and this newer hand/finger orientation is possibly the best for figures with accessories. Plus the wrist joints rock!

Anyway, some pics!

FancyPants · 05-22-2012, 02:23 PM

Some red ninja love

Quasimodo · 05-22-2012, 04:39 PM

I got red ninja from one of my walmarts in phoenix

Quasimodo · 05-22-2012, 04:47 PM

Oh nice, nothing at either of mine today. When do walmarts usually restock?

I only know some of the stores around me, but basically every other day walmart gets a general merchandise truck in and can potentially have toys in it.

Quasimodo · 05-22-2012, 04:53 PM

I see. Unfortunately that truck pretty much never has joes on it.

Although i found most of the last 30th wave there. Strange how a place will have nothing, ever. And then one day it has something great. And then goes back to nothing.

Jason Abbadon · 05-22-2012, 06:00 PM

That SS is nice but no match for te Retaliation version- the new version is all new and unique, with shin armor and bracers-he does keep the awesome ankles and hands though!

Gotta get another few of these for upgrading Iron Fist, Deadpool, Spidey and Black Panther!

The box reads 5-28 but some walmarts put it out early for whatever reason. I think they will be easy to find at the end of the month.

Betoxico · 05-23-2012, 10:34 AM

GREAT A GI.JOE APPRECIATION THREAD!!

I'll show some pics later... GO Ninja Action! XD
