"Pretty much I have been wanting to fill my Supreme Leader gap in my collection I really didn't like the 25th offering.
I went away from the classic look to something I felt he could look like.
BTW his Air Chariot is now way to small for him.......need to make a new one.
I hope you guys dig."

Tried to see if I could get a second Dial-Tone today. I mean, what the heck, right? I only lose if I don't try.

Anyways, they are sold out completely.

But because it was so popular, "Brian is talking to China" regarding the details of "possibly getting more made."

So if you were disappointed when the Loose 25th Anniversary Dial Tone Sold Out, perhaps you'll have another shot at owning a 25th Anniversary Dial Tone.

Also, are Night Force Falcon and Arctic Scarlett, figures that you'd still like to see at retail?*

One of the classic Cobra characters who was due for an update was Dr Mindbender. Battle Rangers Dr Mindbender featured a removable helmet and a rather unique left hand. Ebay user jonelway has put a sample up for auction. Take a closer look at this rarity after the jump!
