The "Look At What I Just Got!" Thread

Mastersteef · 09-15-2011, 01:48 PM

The drought is over, rejoice!!!! Lol. Well it happened, over the past week and a half I have been graciously gifted many times over by the Toy gods as you can see below!

(ps. I really don't know why all the pics turned out so blurry, guess its time for a new camera!)

This is yesterday's haul from Wal-mart and Target... and here's my one sentence review of each...
* DCUC Yellow Lantern Scarecrow: Awesome sculpt, tight joints, buy this figure if you see him: A+
* DCUC Indigo Lantern Atom: Incredible detail, flawless paint, foot warped because of packaging: A-
* Mega Blocks Movie Thor & Loki: Great detail, nice accessories, cheap price. A+

Imagine my surprise when I saw the new 30th Anniversary Joes at my local Wal-mart which hasn't carried Joes since 2009.

Picked up Stalker, Iron Grenadier for myself.
* Sgt. Stalker: nice accessories, tight joints, paints job on eyes is a little hilarious (one eye is "bugged out" and it looks like he's paranoid) A-
* Iron Grenadier: excellent paint job, perfect articulation, awesome accessories. A+
And I picked up the Hazard Viper for any fellow Arker's who want him (for trade/sale) Just PM me!

Several days ago I picked up two more of these Target 2-packs to make earrings (thanks for the idea Ludovicotek!) out of the cosmic cubes, and shields in the set for two special ladies of mine.

Also, if anyone is interested in the "Blue Cheese pants" Cap's and Red Skull's from the sets pictured (sans cubes and shields) just PM me for a sale or trade!

Last week I also acquired these lovely figures:
*Red Skull: Target 2-pack
*WWII Cap: Hisstank Trade (thanks megalodon!)
* "Nova" Human Torch: Target
* SDCC MU Movie Spidey: Ebay

Picked up my last 2 figures from the "Halo Anniversary Series 1" line with the Difficulty plaque BAF and it looks awesome!
Quick review of each as follows:
* "Low-Poly" Master Chief: Joints a little loose, great paint job, nice detail. A+ (my favorite figure of the series though, for nostalgia reasons ;D )
* Cortana: Nice base, great paint job, no articulation. A
* ODST Dutch: Paint job a little messy, loose joints, great articulation. B+
* Halo 3 Grunt: Great Detail, Great paint job, Doesn't hold weapon well. B+
* Halo 2 Arbiter: Improved sculpt, nice silver re-deco, and added articulation. A+

Got these from a guy on ebay who was selling the Joes as a Lot, and I was so happy to finally get JA Duke! Also, was pleasantly surprised to see that the seller had included 2 DC comics as a nice little bonus; awesome!

...And FINALLY last but not least, I picked up...
* ROC Agent Helix: awesome paint, sweet accessories, great poseability. A+
* POC DB Duke: Awesome paint, tight joints, comes with a Pulse Rifle(!) (from Aliens) A+ (thanks CookSux!)

And for my non-toy gets, I picked up Dead Rising 2 for 360 on clearance from Target for $7 bucks!

Sweet Do Boy! I was thinking of picking this guy up, might have to now, he looks great. How's the articulation?

Do Boy · 09-15-2011, 04:04 PM

I like it a lot. Articulation is pretty good IMO. At least for how he really moves in the movies

Going to be a good weekend

omega145 · 09-16-2011, 12:09 PM

I dunno James, where do you suggest? I'm thinking ill get at least 100G's for that super rare factory error that never happens, what do you think? Is it as rare as that Red Skull without a nose? Should I have a BIN or let people scramble bid it up to who knows how much???

That Cobra Shock Trooper is an awesome GI Joe with plenty of accessories. I actually saw those pretty frequently around here when that wave was out.
