G.I. Joe thread - 2027 Preorders begin

[Steevy Maximus]

Super7 is running a “Buy 3, get 1 Free” on (most) in stock items this weekend. They have the last couple waves of ReAction+ in addition to some Ultimates.
Don’t forget they got Thundercats and Silverhawks, too!

I skipped the first 2 Ninja Force figures (picked them up for my brother, though), but that Ninja samurai Destro is a must-have!

Man, I was really looking forward to this but yeah, that's not really what I want from a Thunder Machine, especially at that price with no Thrasher. Hard pass.

I understand they probably can't use the Camaro front as freely as they did in the '80s, but I feel like whatever they did with Soundwave hit closer to the mark than this.

Otherwise, it's neat, I guess. I was kinda hoping for more little bits and bobs like the stuff on the Snow Cat, though.

 

[DefaultOption]

With the Soundwave version, they swapped an '80s Camaro front end for a late '70s Firebird.

This Classified one is just kind of generic Mad Max-y.

"Dude... breath mint."

"That bad?"

Lol. BBTS added additional figures to the NPC line and they easily got unlocked too. Clearly I'm not the only one who has a thing for generics. This is an unqualified success.

Not only does BBTS have a track record of quality by this point, but the idea is brilliant.

Not only that, but I think the “legally distinct, but recognizable” nature of the selections have helped. Hasbro’s probably not going to do Hector Ramirez any time soon, nor is a “suited” Joe Colton likely a priority. But BBTS has got you covered with “close enough” interpretations in their offerings.
Hell, even I’m tempted by the not-Agent 47 (or more amusingly, the not-Team Fortress Spy) with the blue buck

Gung-ho, Shipwreck, and whozat?

Gung-ho, Shipwreck, and whozat?

Helix. She was the “new hotness” introduced in IDW around 2009, got a figure or two in the tail end of the ME run. Almost GI JOe’s version of Windblade, except Windblade was deveoped into a real character.

 

[Haywire]

Neither figure is based on their respective movie incarnations, and I wasn't going to take the time to make tiny 1:18 garbage bags or a bank of TVs, but I'm still happy with the result!

Shredder: "Ugh, Bison, we've got to quit meeting like this!"
Bison: "Well, for me, it's a Monday. Maybe we should switch? How do feel about fighting Van Damme?"

And that's the rabbit trail that led me to buy the Transformer M. Bison (who could face off against Party Wallop, now that I think about it. Hmm, maybe there's a sequel here...)

Anyway, S7R+ Shredder is pretty cool, decent articulation despite the skirt and shoulder pads. I'll have to break the turtles out later, maybe pose them with Party Wallop. Hoping we get a second wave of regular Turtles before S7 loses the license, ideally with an April and maybe Splinter?

Who could have imagined we'd be able to buy a Cobra La Royal Guard Force Pack? Includes several accessories that skipped the single card, like the "tuner fork" and the booger blaster. "In Stock", but not available for purchase from Our Site Sponsor, Big Bad Toy Store

Eh they've done some cool stuff with Helix in the EU.

"ME" run?

Now you just need Skeletor poking his head up through it as well.
