Wonder how long until G.I.JOE makes a proper comeback...

I like the Overwatch stuff, and they pretty much hit it out of the park with the ML reveals (still a bit iffy on the Nightcrawler..don't get why everyone seem to struggle with nailing Kurt's face so much..)

EB Games Australia has the Overwatch figures up for pre-order, for any other Australians interested.

I was in the same boat... grew up with Joes and only collected 3.75" modern Joes and MU, but I could not pass up the opportunity to actually complete both 90's X-mean teams. I would have been content with MU doing it, but that line died... so Legends was my only hope... and it really looks like they are going to do it too... only a few figs away from having both blue and gold 90's X-men teams.

The Snake Eyes movie! No way Hasbro passes on the chance to sell a small batch of SE and Stormy figs... especially if they are just repaints.

Reinhardt is like Hulk's size though right? I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for just a Hulk Legends fig. Maybe they could have made a Reinhardt and Torb 2 pack and maybe made it $60 instead. I'm thinking maybe D.va and her Meka would be worth the 50 dollar pricepoint though.

Are there two versions of the Marvel Vintage X-Men. It looks like there are two versions of Cyclops because there are two different card backs

The movie is a good opportunity for a comeback. Part of the downturn the Joe line has experienced recently is that there's been nothing keeping it alive in the mainstream. The last movie was out almost 6 years ago now, and the last TV show was almost 8.

No, that's just showing off the original toy.

In-universe he stands somewhere around 9 or 10 feet in his suit and the figure will include his hammer and full shield which is itself pretty damn big (for a big panel). From pics at the fair the Tracer figure only goes up to like his lower pecs which is about right. He might be more comparable to the Hulkbuster than to Hulk, maybe not as big of a figure but with accessories that make up the difference.

Having said all of that I do agree that $50 for Reinhardt feels a bit too much. D.Va with her MEKA on the other hand would make sense at $50 or even $60 because she'd be an independent figure with the full vehicle aspect which itself would be articulated.

I'm really liking the Infamous Iron Man figure. Really feel like not having a Frank Castle War Machine was a missed opportunity, though. Maybe next year.

It's definitely coming. It's too easy not to.

Just pre-ordered the ghostbuster/transformer mash up EctoTron figure

All those Marvel Legends, specifically the X-Men. RIP wallet!
