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

He finally realized what his specialty is and lost it during a jump?  haha

Amazon has a bunch of classified on sale for black friday, including the Retro Carded BAT, for $30.

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.

Did you see cool pictures on how collectors are displaying their Cobra or GI Joe defense unit when they have 2 or 3? I'm looking for ideas.

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.

I will wait for the Crimson HISS or a Blue one.

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.
