Yeah, and it's a bit weird to release Vinz Clortho twice and no Zuul.

They also announced a 1984 Wonder Woman. Sculpted hair, and brighter costume colors. Face is still not quite Gal Gadot though.

Clone Wars Anakin (also an option with a STAP.) Clone Wars Obi Wan was also shown in a video this week and the Anakin official photos, but isn't formally announced yet.

New (or reissue?) of workshop Tony Stark, from the part in IM1 where he's testing the repulsors.

TCW Obi-Wan may have to be my first Sideshow/Hot Toys. They usually offer payment plans, right? Or is it just the full amount due when you pre-order?

So I'm going to try to get the GITD Alien today from the Neca Store. It's my first time using them for an exclusive sale. How much of a hassle can I expect here in less than 2 hours? Any tips to make my attempt easier?

Best bet is to use neca’s second site here and buy directly there. Guaranteed to be in stock.

Ouch.

I collect GITD figures and this year has had a bunch of great stuff for the SDCC at home thing. Nabbed the Super7 Baxter Stockman and the little DST Godzilla without a problem. The Neca Alien is the last of this year's exclusives that I really want.

Edit: Success! Got the GITD Alien.

I’m just about done chasing NECAs TMNT figures around. Really considering quitting the line. If I did would anyone be interested in a NECA cartoon set? I have them all so far aside from the newest ones (metal head and Casey)

I feel the same way but they just started shipping, they haven’t made it to my area yet, so I still have semi-high hopes. They will pop up eventually...hopefully

Lots of loose pics of the Baroness halfway down this page. She's absolutely PERFECT. As much as I hate paying the premium for the motorcycle literally nobody wanted, I don't know if subsequent releases will look as nice as this, and there's a good chance they'll add additional paint apps and make her look worse.

https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/the-g-i-joe-thread.247928/page-679

I'm already planning to sell the motorcycle and helmet-head, and I'll probably save that silly snake accessory for Cobra Commander, assuming it fits around his arm.

I love the line but there's no way I can afford to keep up with all the releases coming. I plan on just getting the characters I like, such as Krang's body, Metalhead and Casey.

After that call me when they release Ray Fillet.

Agreed. She looks great. My only gripe is the glasses. Wondering if they are removable. Would like to to try the ML Spider Woman glasses on her.

Oh, I wasn't able to order it! I had her in my cart, but she disappeared from it before it was even 9:01. I was pissed, but I know I'll get her as soon as I am able. I have the Brickseek page bookmarked, and I'll check it every day until I find her. In case it helps anyone else:

Luckily I live relatively close to three Targets, with four more further out, and a few others that are more of a schlep.

Got my John Walker's Customs Din Djarin head in the mail today. Wow, what an upgrade:







The cape is still awful. My holster still broke immediately out of the package. The paint is still too clean. The rifle is a loving mess. But with this helmet, it's closer to being "the way."

So maybe a dumb question about GI Joe being back, but are those ones that were Target exclusive also 6 inch like the Classified series?

I'd assume looking at the detail on them, but them coming back at all was a total surprise to me.

If you see the others, can you grab them for me? Targets in NYC barely carry toys and I don't have a car to go out to the suburbs and look. I'll pay whatever for the shipping.

I'll be happy to try, although Orlando is full of collectors and scalpers, and I rarely find much around here. (Then again, I was astounded to find Earthrise Optimus Prime at a Target in late February, so stranger things have happened.) Would you want them all, even the Roadblock variant?

That’s the myth, that they saw the mask in some kid’s bedroom while they were location scouting. Truthfully they saw a Halloween mask like it, and an actual film dude created the one we see based off the simple concept.

That can be true but it also seems like if they knew they were going to do this, you just call the build one Zuul even if they didn't change the tooling. Its just a really weird thing to have done.
