New render releases - Wild Bill look basically the same,  I was hoping for something a little more different.  Grunt finally look good.  Didn't know we needed another Techno Viper, you can still get the mainline release on Amazon for under $30.
And finally Destro with his Despoiler.

The walmart stuff hasn't inspired me to purchase.  Duke would be purchased and never opened.

General Joe Talk / Maybe if TRU didn't charge so much for action figures

Toysrus Canada has filed for protection from creditors.  This is sad, but based on the amount of physical stores they have closed, and the fact that they charged the most of any of the action figures they carried, this comes as no surprise.

Did you find some images of the Defence units displayed?  I skipped these, as I didn't feel there was bang for the buck.
I really wish they would do a modular Joe HQ.

Anyone going in for the Artic HISS?  I am on the fence still.  However glad we are getting Deep Six and probably the Chameleon.  Fingers cross Deep Six and do more than move his arms up and down.

Picked up Mainframe and Wetsuit yesterday.  And the material these figures are made from feels significantly different than previous figures.  I know some of the weapons in the past have had a gummy flex to them, but these figures feel similar.  Especially Wetsuit,  wondering if it is just the ones I got, maybe an "off" batch. Mainframe won't hold his hand held device, and wetsuit has a difficult time holding the flashlight.  Wetsuits gun holster is rubbery, and the gun doesn't stay properly.   Strangly enough I feel the accessories are of better plastic.

On the other extreme of rigid plastic, I also grabbed a Snow Serpent from Amazon, for $24.

Three carded figures look great, but what is up with Crazy Legs screaming face.

SNAKE armour arrived yesterday.  I am impressed, details are excellent and the size is more than impressive.  Just wish the detachable hands and claws had articulation.

Finally have Dial-Tone!  Also was able to acquire Hawk with MMS, and the Slaughter, Mercer two pack.  So far I have only opened Diat-Tone.
