General Joe Talk / What is the CID unit?
« on: May 16, 2012, 12:08:27 AM »
I believe this unit was started sometime after I stopped collecting.  Maybe it was part of Spy Troops, but what is it exactly?  Seems like it is a sort of internal affairs for the Joes?  I think BullHorn was recast as a member and I think Sure Fire is.  Not sure if anyone else is.  Anyone know?  I was thinking of using the Bruce Willis figure (read John McClain) as a CID member.  Seems like a weird team.

Horrow Show came out earlier tonight.  I like the head sculpt, but the body does not scream Horrow Show.  I don't want to sound negative, but I have seriously better customs of him.

Looks cool, I'm really not too familiar with this era of collecting.....it was sort of likethe middle child in the Joe mythos.

Great price, congrats.  Nice when that works out.  I think, we as collectors, generally tend to overpay b/c you have to have a limited item.  At least I do, sometimes.  So this is a win for you.

If that's Savage's face, that is an epic fail.  I'm okay with a new character, though don't think we necessarily need one, but does it have to be a love letter to an employee of the club.  If that's true, that's weak.

No, it is alive.  In the latest newsletter, the Club said sign-ups would go live 1/2 through the Convention sign ups.  They acknowledged it was not perfect from a timing perspective, but that you could with with installments.  No word on when figs will start to ship though.
If they fixed the credit card issue for the Convention, you'd think they fixed it for the FSS too.  We'll see.

I bought a guy's entire Joe collection because he didn't want his kids to have Joe's because it promotes war.

The guy's father (the Grandpa for this story) was heartbroken because he spent countless hours, assembling the vehicles and painstakingly applying the decals.  The Grandpa was very upset and was proud when I told him I am a collector, and not a reseller.


Sounds like it worked out well in the end.  The Joes went to someone who appreciates them.  My father was in the US Navy for 20 years.  I never had a negative feeling about collecting them.  Actually, it made it even more fun b/c he could tell me what was real and what was a bit science fiction (e.g. laser rifle troopers, and such).

Thanks, Sundance, I'll check that out.  That, and I am repeating myself, is the best part of this hobby....you always find out something new and interesting about the Joe-verse.

Sundance, here's a question, I'm sure you will know.....Is Agent Natalie Poole really part of the mythos.  Thought she was an Action - Man character that was carted over for the 2010 convention......for some reason she does not feel like the moral equivalent of say Blades, Jammer or Gaucho.

Thanks!

I think the FSS has some real good additions.  Covergirl, Big Boa, Dice (or Slice), Jinx are some good picks.  A # of folks wanted Tan Grunt and it has some Int'l figures (Quarrel, TNT), so not bad.  I pre-ordered the 2012 SDCC Jinx, that's the classic look, but I really like the FSS Jinx.  I will display them proudly next to each other.  So I'm excited about the FSS, just launch it already!

Is that a microphone on his hand?  Don't get that.  Maybe it will be covered in the filecard.

This guy does not look like an Iron Bear.....more like Drago in a hoodie.  It is okay, but not what I expected.

Still getting the set though.
