I believe it's called City Strike, but here is a link to actual images of the figure. Best SE ever.

But there's a whole thread for G.I.Joe talk/questions, just like there's a whole thread for DC 3.75" figures (including Young Justice).

Someone should do a xforce Deadpool custom with one of those bodies, the Deadpool that comes in the xforce 3 pack sucks, for that matter the wolvie sucks too.

It's actually the exact same figure, I believe.

Black and gunmetal

They are both first printings though.

Apparently I have one of each:

Just don't trust hasbro that these will hit retail,or have a short run and be impossible to find in stores....

I think the real reason you spent $130.00 on 5 figs is you couldn't wait. I think all these characters will hit retail at some point and become more available. Hard to find maybe. But even if they do have a short run and become hard to find, I doubt you'll have to spend anymore than what you just did.

I just can't believe how much you guys drop on these things. Well more power to you.

I don't like the wash on that one I'll stick to the single card I prefer the darker color

KungfuGrip · 08-10-2012, 10:47 AM

Thank man, been checking it out for a couple months and finally registered, see some of the same names from Hisstank so I feel at home

It's difficult to not jump on the bandwagon to grab those figures. I'm resisting the temptation. Everyone has their limits. For now, I'm going to wait it out. With waves 18 and 19 releasing soon and new comic packs, it's enough to keep me busy.

Congrats on the haul walkingdeadpool.

at the end of the day, its none of my business what another collector does with her/his money, but you make a good point.

i paid $20 for Sinister back in the day because i didn't trust Hasbro. it happens. we all make mistakes. i try not to make such costly mistakes however. keep the damage minimal.
