I just dropped $250 on Zombie-Viper pre-orders at BBTS.

Does this mean I have a problem?

2011 Series 03 - April 2011 Release
- Blowtorch
- Cobra - The Enemy
- Cobra Commander
- General Hawk
- Jungle B.A.T.
- Steel Brigade

2011 Series 04 - April 2011 Release
- Snake Eyes Temple Guardian
- Crazy Legs
- Croc Master
- Rock Viper
- Viper
- Iron Grenadier

The Pursuit of Cobra line has been, IMO the best line of Joes ever. The 25th stuff was excellent, but I really enjoy the way POC is taking things beyond a nostalgia trip.

It will be really cool to see new interpretations of Hawk, Steel Brigade and Rock Viper. I expect the Crazylegs fig to be a faithful rendition of the original (a la Lowlight)

Toy Fair can't come soon enough!

General Joe Talk / G.I. Joe: Cobra (warning - spoilers)
« on: February 07, 2010, 04:54:49 PM »
I just finished reading the G.I. Joe: Cobra TPB and couldn't help but feel that the G.I. Joe-verse has undergone a complete transformation over the past decade. For the first time I didn't feel like I was reading a nostalgia-trip or a fan-fiction (two overwhelming characteristics of the Devil's Due run)

I've always had a particular affinity for the '87 Joes, so it was nice to see them presented with some depth. Though it's a shame about the fate of Jinx. I wish my favourite characters wouldn't meet such untimely ends in the comics... at least this one wasn't so gratuitous. I'm curious to see where this series goes with Part II.

It's refreshing to see the franchise treated with some reverence.

General Joe Talk / Who is this?
« on: October 05, 2009, 10:33:08 PM »
I've been laying off Joes for a while... but this figure looks too cool to pass up.

Looks like a winged Night Viper sniper or something. Anyone know who this is?

Thanks!

Off Topic / Eaglemoss Marvel Lead Figurines
« on: April 30, 2009, 08:44:04 AM »
I picked up some 3" Eaglemoss Marvel lead figurines. It appears that I severely underestimated the dangers of having lead in one's house. Does anyone have any experience with these or other lead collectibles? Under what conditions are these safe to store/display?

... some other cool figs

I know that you guys probably already know about these figs, but I thought I'd show a sign of support for these great new Joes!
