You know the foot has an ankle that moves up and down.
I had a hell of a time getting Zartan to stand before I noticed
the new feature on the foot that the originals didn't have.

I picked up the Xamot and Tomax comic pack

Hmm, that is weird. So the bad foot is at an angle, looking at it straight on? Like he's standing on a round surface, and the sole of his foot is at an angle? If that's the case, I'm guessing the ankle joint's pin is bent. It could be bent back into place, but I'd be careful. Heating it up first might help, though the pins are a harder plastic than the limbs. Just be really careful trying to bend it back into place. If it breaks, maybe you can contact Hasbro and ask for a replacement. (If you can't find another set in the store to exchange it.)

Thanks again for the help. It doesn’t look too bad though so I guess I’ll just leave it the way it is for now, I’ll probably end up troop building on this set anyway.

That Quaid pic is cool, feeding the fire.

Got the Crimson Twins today. Cool beans!

All I have to say is HOLY 25th.5 anniversary Batman!!!!

I have fallen in love with GI JOE again.

The list of what I remember as my favorites:

The mass device! (Battle pack w/Revenge of Cobra on DVD!)
The weather dominator! (Battle pack!)
A scuba gear Baroness!
A new Lady Jaye with javelins and no cap (but crappy crotch joint!)
radioative Snake Eyes w/ Timber
Clutch and the Vamp I
Armadillo
Rip It (repaint in blue) and a black version of the newest HISS!
Trouble Bubble with Televiper!
Road Block w/attacking vines!
the three ingredients in their boxes on a cart!

I am blown away. If only they started going larger again! Bases and vehicles...

GI Joe?

On this board :shock:

News Credits: 7 · by **shortround** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:52 pm

The figures I'm looking forward to getting in a couple of weeks is the torch and ripper comic two pack. Tomorrow I should be getting my Armored Cobra Commander which is my favorite version of Cobra Commander. The battle packs are going to be amazing having your own MASS Device, Weather Dominator and Pyramid of Darkness is just the icing on the cake.

So, are they actually gonna make Serpentor's chariot?
Cause, that is all kinds of awesome.

Yup. Ryan is a Joe fan too.
Not to mention the Joe forum that he eventually wants to start.

I love the fact we can now own toy versions of the Weather Dominator and Mass Device!

Though I wonder if Hasbro can release a DVD of the original cartoon we'll see a complete release from a different company. :CON:

Betcha they'll release the the original GI JOE series on DVD once the movie release date comes closer.

Anywho. I'm loving the direction of the line. Pity that Lady Jaye isn't a single card. The vehicles make me love the line even more. It's nice to see the Hiss Tank now in proper coloring though I would've bought the blue one too. I pretty much figured the Trouble Bubbles would be released in the line. They'll definately sell like hotcakes. I'd put the price at $10 for a vehicle that size. While Serpentor's Chariot looks nice, I just don't like the character.

As for the JOE vehicles, seems they're playing it safe with the smaller early year vehicles. I do hope we see some jets and larger vehicles soon. I'd happily pay $30 for a Sky Striker or Sky Shark.

The BAT's look awesome. I'll probably make a group of them, about 10 or 15.

I would love to see what the crimson twins look like since I will be getting them in a little while.

I thought they already released the series on DVD like 2 years ago.
I'm not so sure they will be re-releasing them so soon. I should
have bought them, but they were expensive.

Why not? They re-release DVD's all the time and those Joe DVD's were not very accessible in stores (I searched Best Buys and CC's to find them and came up empty. Matter o' fact BB could not even special order them after they came out.

That's amazing. I remember seeing them all over and Wal-mart being the easiest place to find them. I just can't see them re-releasing them so soon. Hey, hopefully I'm wrong because I would like to pick them up for a decent price myself.

I did find an old VHS GI Joe tape at the Sally a couple weeks ago.
Volume 4: Deadly Lies
Ep: Skeleton in the Closet and Not a Ghost of a Chance.
Labeled For Promotional use Only. Not for resale.
It was only a dollar.

If I had a DVD burner I'd make you a copy.

Hey cyber bishop that would be great since I will be getting them in couple of weeks and I can't even guess how cool the new 25th Anniversary comic two pack of crimson twins is going to be. Also if anyone can give some advice about 25th Anniversary zartan I have heard he is supposed to have the same color change ability as original but haven't yet figured out how to get him to do it.

News Credits: 1 · by **Ninja Sixshot** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 8:45 pm

today i got serpentor because of his chariot coming out and zartan.

News Credits: 387 · by **Nekoman** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:56 pm

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble finding the single carded figures? I’ve been going to this one Wal-mart every now and then for two months and for the most part all I’ve found is that dumb old Play dough Duke and CC two-pack.

News Credits: 7 · by **shortround** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:05 pm

Nope I've found every single card figure I want the ones I have a hard time find are the comic two packs. This how lucky I have been I even found the very hard to find original wave 1 release of the Crimson Guard. I just got today Armored Cobra Commander and if anyone is on the fence about getting him don't be the figure is amazing his helmet even comes off and I won't tell you what is under it because that would ruin the fun of getting the figure. Nekoman if your looking for single card figures try: http://www.bbts.com
there is a large selection of single card figures there.

Can he set in tanks?

News Credits: 7 · by **shortround** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:58 am

I hope I will be getting my torch & ripper comic two pack on monday. I can't wait to add two more Dreadnoks to my growing collection. I hope that hasbro release the rest of the Dreadnoks at some point for the 25th Anniversary line of figures.
