A friend gave me an Alfred.

Nice one :)!

Got this dude for a song. Didn't even realize he was the rare variant with less bubbles in the chest. He's been on my want list for a long time, so I'm very happy to finally have him.

New stuff.

In an attempt to streamline my collection, I've sold well over a hundred figures in the last couple weeks. It's good to get some new things in.

I have this bloke ordered online, but I found one at Wal-Mart and had to buy it. He is insanely impressive in-hand.

Pleasantly surprised to find these today.

I am finally replacing my broken Man-Bat. Guess Roman's fun is over.

Wasn't sure if this day would ever come, but I have purchased my first Hasbro figures in over 30 years. I already opened them, so here's some thoughts...

The good:
Big G.I. Joes!
The paint and sculpt are quite nice.
Accessories all have a place to be stored on the figure.

The bad:
Super cheap feeling plastic. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the good plastics used by other companies, but these things feel almost hollow.
Loose, floppy joints. Stupid ab crunch on these is grade A awful. The figures can barely stand upright. I had to superglue the hell out of them.

I have other minor gripes, but I won't go into detail. It was probably just me being disappointed on first impression that I was looking for problems. In any case, now that I have them superglued into static poses, I can appreciate them for the appearance and not begrudge the shitty engineering. I do wish they were 7", but I'll take what I can get.

Nice review Spastic! Never knew about those Gi Joe figures. I saw some reviews and they seemed ok from far away in their shots. The colour scheme for Scarlett though... phew... feels like they really just tried to put in as much as colours as they could.

Thanks. Yeah, Scarlett might be my least favourite of the bunch. I think her face looks too young and her hair isn't quite red enough. The colour scheme of her outfit bothered me a bit more before I got the figure. On a shelf, standing with the others, she kind of pops. Without staring too hard at her, you basically just see the yellow and grey, so it's really not too bad.

Man, it's been quite a dry spell for new toys, so I bought this. Gotta feed that monkey.

Now I have all the DC Direct/ Collectibles versions of these. Just another addiction buy.

Found one.

Zoinks.

Melvin Ferd the Third.

New thingies.

Come back and play with the clown!

It's Alpha time.

I dig 'em.

New buddy cop film?

lol, nice one! DC might even steal that idea for a spinoff series :D

I'd let them.

Got lucky.

Nice! Congrats dude!
