Which joints were loose?

I liked him. Pretty much just an Snow Job repaint, but still an accurate remake. My only problem was the lack of a real gun, but the original toy didn't have one anyway.

I got the 25th Croc Master the other day and will be including him in my comic eventually. Great figure, and the bite mark on the arm is a really nice touch. Unfortunately, mine had a loose left hip, so I opened the leg and took a look. Turns out there was a crack in the plastic, so even with the friction cap I readjusted, it's still loose. Doesn't really bother me, but if it does later, I'll just crack out some nail polish or something.

Mine couldn't hold his ax well and I was disappointed with the lack of holster for his foam gun.

Anyone considering purchasing the g.i. joe resolute comic two packs. I'm not sure if there worth the effort or not just wonder what other people think since I've got enuff different versions of destros to start a small army by themselves and I'm not sure about tunnel rat and storm shadow.

I just got the 2-packs today with Destro vs. Shockwave and Tunnel Rat ve The Shredder... erm... Stormshadow.

If you're going to get any of the two, I'd definatly recommend TR vs. SS. I like hos this SS came out. I know I have several already, but you get a few extra weapons to add to his arsenal, some masks and a SS figure with armor that actually has a different body than the reused rehased SS/Red Ninja body we've seen. it also allows you to add Tunnel Rat to your JOE team, giving Falcon a fellow Rough-neck to buddy with.

I got the Destro vs Shockwave 2 pack specifically for Shockwave he comes with two pistols a gas mask, and a SWAT Helmet. Destro is a clear departure from the RAH and IG molds we've seen. His body is a taller version of the Hiss Driver but with a removable chest armor and he has a backpack connected to a wrist device. His head is a remold and I give props to whoeverpainted the eyes. The team went the extra mile on him. He comes with one revolver pistol whihc is painted sivler. I'll give Hasbro the credit for going out of it's way to make a new mold for a char most of us have several variations of already.

The only bad thing is that ghosts form the past still haunt these figs, namely the infamous diaper crotch which is present on Destro, Shockwave and Tunnel Rat.

I'll say it now. If the movie isn't a hit like TF's and the toy line bombs thus leading Hasbro to shelve GI Joe the diaper crotch will be the reason. They said time and time again they were going to fix it. I don't mind that they haven't; I mind that they've lied to us. Hell I don't really care that they've lied to me, heck I pay some girl $2.00 a minute for that,... er back on track; I care that they've lied to everyone else, the people that have been with them for 25 years non stop.

BBTS has the Hall of Fame set for pre-order...$109.99 for 10 'special' figures.

What did you guys think of the GI JOE trailer? It sort of got me excited, but it went so fast, I'll have to look to see it again, on youtube or whatever.

If you find it post a link. I don't like football so I missed it. For $109.99 those better be some figures.

Here a link to the trailer that appeared during the super bowl http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=52443 also a new trailer for the film will be showing up before friday the 13th along with transformers and star trek.

Well today was a great day I still haven't found the resolute comic two packs but I did finally get a cobra eel his is a great figure, now I have a complete set of cobra diving team bareness, cobra diver, and cobra eel so I have all three of the cobra underwater figures.

I only collect BATs, so I'll have to pick up this one with the alternate head, and the new battle damaged one.

I want to pick up one from the Resolute Omega 5 pack, as it's all black and evil looking, but I don't want the other 4 figures, just like in the DVD pack. Curse you Hasbro!

O.k. here is an idea I just thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone responds name the top five worst ideas in G.I. Joe history it can be a figure or a vehicle or character from the comic or t.v. series doesn't matter there just has to be five of them.

1. Cobra La
2. Cobra La
3. Cobra La
4. Cobra La
5. Cobra Commander is an evolved snake...

Nemesis Enforcer is awesome though!

I guess you don't like Cobra La, do you?

1. Cobra Commander is an evolved snake.
2. Play-Doh (AKA Mega-Marines)
3. Ninja Force having terrible spring-loaded gimmicks.
4. Spy Troops
5. Giving Joes T-crotches.

Umm, this is tough; I can give ya three:

1) Diaper crotch
2) Duke Arms
3) Making the team a global force so the tea drinkers overseas will go see the movie.



By the by it's that time of the month again; anybody get their Doc's? Hasbro really has me over a barrel I get home from work right when their CS go home and I'd hate to e-mail them since I don't wanna deal with "Tom" from Pakistan.

I have to give it up to tigertracks that is when the original G.I. Joe tv show jump the shark or screwed the pooch big time. You guys covered my top five things but there is one you forgot that almost made me give up on G.I. Joe completely that was G.I. Joe Extreme or as I like to call it G.I. Joe Extremely crappy.

Nemesis Enforcer is still awesome though!

I can't be the only person to like him....

Nemsis enforcer was cool I even have the comic two pack that comes with him and Lt. falcon.

Nemesis Enforcer is cool although, I prefer the Royal Guard dude with the bug eyes and huge scythe/blade. I don't like the whole back story of Cobra La, the Plant weapons... it moved GI Joe from modern era battles (unlikely, but still mostly realistic) to extremely poopy. Yes, I know there was the alternate world episodes which are really cool, but Cobra La, and CC as a snake was just a horrible step, IMHO.

Anyway, I found the Best of DVD Battle Pack finally. And the comic two-packs with SE vs. Hard master, Gung Ho and Armored CC, and Torpedo and Rock N Roll.

Nothing much else.

Do you mean the comic two pack with rock n roll and deep six or do you mean you found the single pack figures of Torpedo and Rock N Roll. Either way your pretty lucky also congrats on finding the best of the 80's dvd pack been looking for it for awhile and hasbro doesn't even have it up for order yet they still have it listed as being out of stock.

Yeah, I meant Deep Six. Oopsies. Not one of my favorite figures...

Yeah I already had deep six because I bought the sky shark that came with. So I didn't get rock n roll and deep six or cobra viper and iron grandier comic two pack, if you want a cool version of deep six I would look at the toy r us exclusive g.i. joe three pack that come with deep six, torpedo and cutter.

So what next for the resolute figures or was that it three single packs and a couple of comic packs and five pack of figures consisting of repaints of the original three figures and redesigned cobra B.A.T. and has anyone heard when there supposed begin airing the cartoon for resolute.
