Of the figures out now, IMHO I'd have to say in this particular order...

1. Face/Off Cap
2. Series 1 Cap (I feel it still holds up pretty well. It also had my personal favorite shield design, with elastic straps and a wrist clip.)
3. Ultimate Cap (Hit Monkey Wave)

I also dig the WW2 "Ultimates" Cap that came in the two pack with Nick Fury. I really dug that series, and the figure's look as well.

The new one coming is pretty nice...but I still don't think it tops any of these.

You got the best one out there. FO Cap has his issues (namely his neck peg is too far forward), but he's the premier classic version.

Many folks have clamored for a Cap version to be done on the bigger Grim Reaper buck (and rightfully so). The new Onslaught Wolf-Head Cap will accomplish that. He should be a good one, but I personally feel that the classic version should have the scalloped torso.

I'm with Trivial Psychic in also digging the WWII version (from the Fury 2-pack & a later Walmart repack) as well as the Ultimate version (from the Hit Monkey series or the Target 3-pack).

Of the two WWII versions, I'd definitely go with the Wal-Mart exclusive one, his colors are just SO much richer, plus, the wash on him looks great. The only downside is that he doesn't have the unmasked head from the two pack, but it's no big loss

Random question for all of you that assembled Hulk Buster.

Do you get any torso rotation?

I noticed when I was putting it together that there was little to no movement and I had to heat it up in order to get it to move and line everything up. Now that it is assembled I am affraid to rotate it because I saw the assembly and it seems much more likely to break than rotate...

Any one else in that same boat or did I just get a bum Lower Torso with my Vision?

[305Batman]

They're all like that,some people used oil or some form of lubricant to loosen up that joint.

[wolverine2281]

May not be as good as other BF deals but I have a set of Rhino or Hulkbuster for $140 each shipped in the US. Also I'm covering shipping until Saturday for in stock items on my site

Any places where I can find some good 6 inch scale weapons? Guns and swords aren't particular difficult to find, but I'm having trouble finding some other weapons.

What other types of weapons are there other than guns and swords that you might be looking for? That way we could give you a better idea.

You might want to try a casting place like Casting Cave. They carry mostly guns and swords, but they have a few miscellaneous items that can be used as well.

Cheap guns?

When Hasbro eventually makes 6" GiJoe there will be a glutton lol

Found a Blade sword for my Custom Blade.

I doubt that will ever happen. Hasbro seems committed with merging the world of M.A.S.K. and Micronauts with G.I.Joe as evidenced by their last major press report to shareholders, and I have a feeling we might start seeing Joes scaled down to those 2 inch GOTG sizes that we got when those were released, just so they could accommodate for the vehicles.

Although truthfully, if they were scaled down to the sizes of the original M.A.S.K. figures, (about 3 inches) and left the articulation at 7poa, I wouldn't be completely against that. M.A.S.K. (as well as Dino-Riders which were similarly scaled) were pretty awesome. If Hasbro really does want to stroke the flames of nostalgia, then give us what we had in the 80's, and bring it to a new audience, not some half assed, experimental, and re-imagined version of it.

[kenm2474]

M.A.S.K. was awesome. I loved all the vehicles had most of them. My Favs. were (Dont remember the names) Semi Truck, Camero, and a Black car that was a bad guy that was I think an older muscle car that its wheels turned into tank tracks.

Edit: I was wrong the car I was thinking of was orange and teh black vehicle was a SUV.

My bad, I haven't seen any press on the Joes in awhile

Funko though, has a few lines of 6" figs going now for mid-evil weapons and with Firefly a few guns, but likely too expensive for a bit just for arms.

My personal fave for weapons are yard/ garage sales they're almost always going to be a throw in.

No worries. It's no secret that Joes have kinda been on the backburner with Hasbro for a little while now. I honestly think that the only reason we even got those 50th anniversary figures this year, was because there would have been hell raised by fans if Hasbro DIDN'T give us something for G.I.Joe's 50th. But I'm sure even Hasbro knows there is only so many times you can repaint the VAMP and the Skystriker...you know?

If I recall correctly, part of the press conference that they held was to announce the return of M.A.S.K., and a huge push on incorporating it into the world of G.I.Joe. They are planning on doing a crossover into the comic books, which will likely push into the toy line that they are planning for the end of 2016/2017.

It wouldn't be the first time they have flirted with the idea either. After all, they did give us a Matt Trakker figure back in 2008 with a backstory on the file card about how M.A.S.K. was a seperate organization that worked with G.I.Joe, helping to take on VENOM, which was providing their technology to Cobra Commander. Seems like a good fit right?

[Phantomcrow]

Hasbro did also announce officially that Micronauts were going to be folded into the IDW comic for TRANSFORMERS next year. So I could totally see MASK getting folded into GI Joe.
I really just hope we get Black style 6 inch Joes soon. But with the 3rd movie in limbo right now I don't see much of a push for Black series Joes.
I for one am totally tired of the endless repaints and repackaging of the 3.75 Joes.

I was thinking of staffs (although I suppose that would be easy enough to just make with a wooden dowel), sais, and maybe a bow with a piece of string instead of the plastic we saw with Hawkeye.

I'm really happy with the MCU line up, though I do hope we eventually get Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch and some Guardians Bad Guys

Sweet movie display, Dubious! My Detolfs are reserved for my more expensive lines, but they look super legit with a nice focused Legends setup like that as well.

[ultraman zoffy]

Finally got moved into my new house enough to start unpacking my collection and setting up my new display room... of course, have to start with my classic Avengers team and go from there! =)

Hey brother/ sister, check the front page here. There are really good deals on complete sets of the recent legends at a few of the sponsor/ vendors for The toyark site. Some end tomorrow though, so if you need em, get em before Monday
