I just noticed the name they gave Crystal Ball.
Richard "Crystal Ball" King, clearly a reference to Richard Bachman/Stephen King.  Just the name alone give me nostalgia for the retro file cards.

Yep and didn't they use his son's name for another character during ARAH?   I'm sure that character will pop up eventually.

Edit:

I just looked it up and yeah his son Owen had Sneak Peek named after him.

Got a notification that my Credit Card is about to be charged for Dial Tone.  Ordered in Dec or Jan - I forget when.

Where did you order him from?

I was too wishy-washy on that wave and so I missed out on Dial-Tone.   Got everyone else, but now I have to wait and hope he shows up more in stock once this batch starts showing up.

Dial Tone is still available here:

https://mapleandmangoes.ca/collections/g-i-joe/products/g-i-joe-classified-series-dial-tone-6-inch-action-figure


They have a "Toy chest" option where you can hold all your orders and make it ship once (when you reach free shipping)

Cool Thanks.   I'll keep an eye and see if they have stock left over once he is actually "in stock" elsewhere (if that ever happens).
