Too Cool!  Mutt and Junkyard look awesome!  Where did you get them?

I suspect from the USA as Canada hasn't received this wave yet.

I so am giddy about Mutt and Junkyard.  And that is the first time I have used the word giddy in the Joe collecting world.  I should have my Mutt in a couple of weeks from my American buddy.

Croc Master and Mutt are great updates and wins in my book.

Nice pics. The figures look great. And that croc looks awsome. For those thinking of getting one, Michaels usually have 40% of coupons in their flyers.

yeah I got these from eBay, and just ordered anothe set to keep MOC from smalljoes today.

The only good thing about these upcoming waves is that there's only a handful of characters I need out of them (no longer need to get the whole wave).  I only wanted Mutt & Junkyard and Croc Master here so it's easier on the wallet.

love getting stuff in the mail and the end of this week was perfect.  Leader class Megatron on Wednesday, Croc Master/Mutt & Junkyard on Thursday, and DVD packs 3 & 4 yesterday!

my 1985 joe shelf:


a MAJOR Major Bludd improvement:


BATs - my weakness:

I just picked up DVD Packs 3 and 4 yesterday in Michigan - I am not as impressed as I was with the first two.  There are a couple of great figures - but there is also wasted plastic.
Dusty - Quick Kick and Serpentor are great.
The Bat could have been better (paint on the claw part & metal bits are not as good as the carded version)

The cube - wtf?
skeleton dude - why do I need this?
Major Bludd/Cobra Commander/Snake Eyes - not really improvements
The Bat's spring loaded missile launcher - spring loaded anything sucks

While I agree that there are some serious duds in these sets (Serpy & Skeleton) I'd have to say that overall we got some vast improvements:

Purple Snake Eyes - cartoon acurate and awesome, just like his card art - my definitive SE
Dusty - didn't like his cloth piece so I took it off, overall the figure is great, only nit-pick would be that I prefer his v1 camo
Major Bludd - how can you say he's not an improvement???  The HISS Driver Torso is perfect, his mechanical arm now has 5 fingers rather than the mutant 3 fingers, and on a personal note I like his cartoon colours much better than his normal brown/black.
yes the BAT should have had some black wash paint apps, but it's still a BAT

I guess for me, I actually love the cartoon as a kid so to have cartoon-accurate figures is a huge win.  IMHO sets 3 & 4 blow sets 1 and 2 out of the water.  Sets 1 & 2 had a perfect Lady Jaye and cartoon accurate Destro, that was about it.

Man, now I'm REALLY looking forward to the rest of the DVD sets!

Loving the clear stands you have, by the way.  Where did you get them?

They're protech clear stands, I think originally designed for modern Star Wars figs, but Joes are constructed the same way and work with them too.  You can find em on eBay.

Smalljoes has them as well:
