If anyone's interested at least one Dollar Tree here in SE Wisconsin restocked their two 1:18 military toys, so other stores probably will too. The figures are godawful but the accessories are decent.

I got a loose unused Soundwave HISS because it was all I wanted. QC felt a bit shit, actually. A few scuff marks here and there, scratch on the canopy, not what 'd expect from an SDCC exclusive. I wish they'd also have included the normal rocket launchers for the bucket as well, I hate the Soundwave battery guns, and making one extended to be "G1 accurate" wasn't necessary.

>>5870686
>A few scuff marks here and there, scratch on the canopy, not what 'd expect from an SDCC exclusive.

Is that your first SDCC exclusive? Theyve been shitty with qc for a few years now. Just sayin, no hatin.

>>5870914
Yeah, I rarely have much interest in SDCC stuff from any line. I don't attend the show anyway and most of it goes for a fair bit on the aftermarket so I rarely hunt it down9and what doesn't go for much is usually throwaway junk). In this case it's people buying the set for Powerglide and parting off Soundwave, they've dropped to between $45-$50 shipped lately- which is still a bit excessive, but it's the 2005 DTC HISS mold and no version of that sells very cheap to start with.

I ignored the Soundwave stickers anyway and just did my own decal job. I covered up the canopy scratch with a big Cobra sticker so it's not a big deal.

>>5871013
>>5870914
I've never had that problem on mine.
Even bought multiples last year and they're fine.
I forget what pieces come in bags, but it's very unlikely to happen because of the way it's packaged.

So either some Chinaman commited suicide while holding a hiss and them not wanting it to go to waste or the reseller fucked it up.

>>5870686
>I got a loose unused Soundwave HISS
are you really complaining about QC

I'm just saying it's incredibly rare for somethingl ike that to happen because of the way it was packaged, which is why i put the blame on the chinaman who jumped from the roof holding that hiss or the reseller just being careless.

Bagged parts. Reseller didn't damage shit.

It's also a Hasbro product, it's not like there's stellar QC to start with.

Never had that ever happen to me before. Ever.

The worst I've ever experienced was a cape missing a paltron section, like they ran out of plastic when filling the mold. Just a smooth short section instead of the sculpted section with a peg on it.

Ugh, I love Vortious Custom accessories, but I HATE the waiting time. Ordered at the end of June, still waiting. Don't want to pester him anymore since he's backed up, but the wait is painful.

>>5872997

21st Century Toys did a couple of Hadjis, other than that, re-purposing Indiana Jones turban-wearers is about it for OPFOR.

>>5873064
The reason I haven't, and likely never will, order from him. Great parts catalog, but fuck that wait time.

>>5873064
He's always been good for me and has always let me know if there are any delays.
And better than Broken Arrow by miles and I got boned on my last order(s) from Tofu Jesse who repeatedly said
1. he had sent them.
- then said his local post office was always messing him around.
2. had a friend supposedly filling/mailing the orders - which also didn't show up.
About $35-45 plus shipping I've given up on.
and damn I wanted those mutant dogs.

>>5873480

2nd year anniversary of not getting my shit was last month, and TofuJesse got me for $70.

Someone with his old 6" molds is still selling on Ebay, so good luck if you're a Legends customizer.

>>5873480
Yeah, I've ordered from him before and I was really happy with the quality of the stuff, but the wait is excruciating! It's like two items, one of which is the last - and most important - part of a custom. He started on the batch of orders it's in last week, so I expect either a tracking number or the package on my doorstep any day.

I want my instant gratification!

>>5873480
Man after all these years you think people would come up with new excuses.

>>5874014
I am cool with a month or two for my "instant gratification" as well as the seller keeping me updated to any sort of long delays.
Broken Arrow was a stone bitch to deal with and the dude considers 2 emails in 3 weeks to be "pressuring him" to him pretty much flat out saying he would drag his heels. Tofu Jessie was good fo r a few orders and reasonably prompt - then I got butt-fucked.

Had a guy from here going to give me gear for a Marauder gift card.
Got burnt on that one.
BUT
I also did 2 trades that worked out great.

>>5874840
Broken Arrow once insisted I sell him some Joe figures at practically half of what I was asking, and even told me to tell off another buyer who was willing to pay full price, because, and I'm not kidding, his excuse was "but I really want them".

Planet-sized ego, much?

I pledged for two figures. The R.I.O.T. Pilot because he looks like a 1930s pulp character, and a second add-on figure. Probably Captain Eagle. Might add-on a few more. Not really interested in multiples of the army builders with this line though.

Wasn't there some people leery of the EF kickstarter? Something to do with going away from the Boss FIght people and going with someone else?

I love this beast of a plane, but right now I have it tucked away in storage with the rest of my Joe stuff. Hoping to get a house by next year and with it a nice big man-cave of some sort so I can finally spread out my collection again.

I wish I had more pics of it, it's such a great looking piece, though it does need some tweaks. Adding some plastic to the windshield is a great first step, but the guns and cockpit need to be upgraded...a lot. But it's cool that you can actually fit two Armadillos in the belly of this thing if you remove the seats.

can anyone remember this line of relatively new 1/18 figures being sold in china right now that had abunch of blue palette soldiers and vehicles?

All the soldiers had these really large thick robot legs and the vehicle i wanna say some what resembled a btr.

I believe the main theory is that it would take too long to get the sculpting done on new heads so they just kitbashed the lot of them you have to remember this was supposed to be the last FSS before the club ended.
>>5875965
You mean by doing what every customizer and person said they wanted in a Raptor figure when PoC Zartan came out. Raptor looks great and way better than he has any right to.
>>5875746

>>5893351
I couldn't give a fuck what some basement-dwelling idiots who mix up their figure parts do. I'd rather have a figure that's a proper visual update or not one at all. This half-asses it with some claw feet and the Jungle Viper's leaf coat. Rather just buy the original off eBay than put up with this lazy shit. It' snot like they don't have proper feet or couldn't cut a cape out of softgoods, they just spent 5 minute son this and called it quits, because as usual, they think "Oh well, these addicted fuckers will buy it anyway, so why out in any effort"?

There's a shitload of dollar stores here, so I was hoping it's not just Big Lots. There's another Big Lots in the town where I go to work that I haven't checked yet either. Kind of hoping that my local just didn't do a christmas toys reset yet.

Mattel's DC Multiverse line. It covers DC movies and games (specifically the Batman Arkham ones).

It's not the best line but it's one of the only few DC 1/18 lines we've got.

They have since abandoned the 4" scale and used the line for BvS, Suicide Squad 6" figures.

Not that guy, those figures are Cobra Troopers v15, Pursuit of Cobra (POC) and 30th Anniversary lines. The heads and gear are Marauders Gun Runners.

Hasbro re-released these figures 2 years ago, in the 50th Anniversary line. The closes thing now are the TRU exclusives, Shock Troopers, (if you can find them) but they have a darker hue and different legs.

The most articulated horse is from Indiana Jones by Hasbro a few years back when Crystal Skull came out. Power Team Elite has a horse too. If you don't care about articulation, maybe Breyer or Schliech will have what you need.

That battlefield set makes a great background piece with a little paint.

Honestly, their figures are shit, but PTE is such a great resource for Joe-scale figures. They're pretty great. And the figures are good enough for goods, so that's fine too.

>>5909482
I purchased the battlefield set recently and was actually pleasantly surprised by the articulation on the figures. I'm gonna toss some VvV-era Joe heads on some of 'em because they make great generic soldiers outside of SAMEFACE syndrome.

The bike is damn near perfect for Captain America. Functionally superior to Hasbro's effort which doesn't even rotate the front wheel left and right. Ever so slightly small but manageable.

I own all four xenos and the three marines. The xenomorphs look nice, but are a bit fragile. The marines look like shit. It is mostly the painted on skin looks real thick and gummy. I knew before buying that they don't look like the actors at all, so that doesn't bother me too much. The helmets are not really accurate since they're missing the armored piece that covers the back of the neck. Pulse rifles look good. Smartgun looks tiny and looks strange without a steadycam harness.

I think the Marines are done really well, but they're made of really rubbery plastic like Acid Rain figures. So things like the light on the shoulder are just shoved against the body like some sort of cord. You'll have to definitely use hot water to fix any issues, which i haven't done so far

And yes, the guns do look undersized, but not enough to look bad or wrong.

I'm scared of breaking my aliens. Disassembled one and haven't put it back together, because the pegs are so rubbery and don't want to go in.

No prob. Im guessing the reasonnthe new 50th wave has a couple months delay conpared to last year is probably due to moving plants. My theory anyway. They may still use China factories.

If quality improves and they stop painting derpy eyes, all for the better.

>>5922340
i dunno, SW 3.75" black series and Marvel 3.75" are still made in china.

If they do get made in vietnam or india, hopefully we'll see more articulation and paint apps, i.e. the labor intensive stuff.

I don't understand why "shared universe" has to mean "cram everything in together all at once" universe. It's not like G.I. Joe and Transformers haven't been crossing over since the 80's, and Hasbro casually made Matt Trakker part of G.I. Joe already.

My only real hope out of all of this is that we might get updated Star Brigade aliens out of ROM some day.

I just ordered a Hyper Motions Wolverine. There was also a Warmachine but I heard these guys are shorter. Or is it the other way around and I made a horrible mistake?

The hyper motions are about the same height to each other (Even hulk and thor). That makes them shorter than MUs.

>>5929505
Well, glad I only got Wolvie then, since it'd make sense for him to be short.

Thanks anon.

>>5909032
The vehicles aren't scaled to these figures, are they?

Hey are those new Corps female figures still available at Walmarts or did I miss out?

>>5931472
I just saw both of them last week, so they are still in at least one Walmart.

>>5931472

Recently they're repacked into 2-figure packs at a $3 price point yo.

You're still saddled with one figure that has poor articulation but you get the girl.

I need hasbro to re-realese these guys, my cobra army only has the 25th version

>>5926764
ARAH is basically a containment book for Hama and old school fans who flat out reject the IDW-verse at best, at worse basically exists so that IDW can keep the GI Joe license by having one GI Joe book being published after the IDW-verse crashed and burnt when they fucekd up IDW Cobra Civil War as badly as they did.

>>5927081
GI Joe is being "soft-rebooted". Basically the IDW series happened (in broad strokes) but now happened after the events of All Hail Megatron. Oh and Mainframe now basically looks and dresses like Dial Tone (though with a goatee instead of a porn stashe), in a bit of shameless pandering to those fans who shitted on Girl Dial Tone.

Cobra's no longer around and MASK big bad VENOM In Name Only* and the Dire Wraiths are being set up as Cobra's replacement since IDW fucked up Cobra so fucking badly that it's pretty much off-limits until they can find a way to unfuck themselves and bring back a Cobra Command that actually LOOKS and ACTS like Cobra Command. Until then, we have to settle for Storm Shadow now being an Action Man villain and Miles Meyham as a Poor Man's Cobra Commander replacement......

*They've retconned Miles into being a founding member of GI Joe/BFFs with Joe Coltron, along with turning Sly Rax into a clean shaven Asian man. And Matt Tracker is now a black man and Gloria's Hispanic while the other canon Hispanic MASK member (Julio) is the only minority member of MASK who hasn't been purged from the reboot version of Mask.

>>5926764
Hama's book is unaffected by Revolution. As the other guy in this thread said, its a containment book for old-fags who can't accept any new interpretation of the franchise.

>>5934896
There was a rerelease 2 years ago. Still, would be nice to see a 2 pack or something a little easier to troop build them with.

Hoping to see that quonset hut at big lots soon. If not I may have to order one online for myself.

>>5937154

I'd love a re-release in a double up two-pack but with different accessories.

Give him the Resolute trooper helmet and para viper goggles as options along side the Cobra Combat Ninja balaclava and helmet.

Have a SHocktrooper vest and Beachhead's Retaliation 3-pack chest rig as torso options along with the usual 25th trooper and officer's.

Weapons would be the AK-47 from the Ulitamte Retaliation movie Duke painted up like the one Zanya got in the Dreadnok 7-pack. The SHocktrooper AKA-tacticool, the COmbat Ninja's bullpup AK kit variant, an= painted RPG and the pistol and knife for the sheath.

>>5936354

All they have to do is give us a Cobra Commander who isn't Krake. Pretty simple task in itself.

>>5936354
Cobra wasn't fucked up Cobra was actually acting like a global force of Terror instead of the cartoon villains they had been for most of Hama's run. Tomax was the "Face" of Cobra with CC being the power behind the throne.
>>5928533
But Revolution is the "Crossover" event so they have to come together things will go back to regular stories after with little things peppered in between (G.I.Joe is getting a Transformer)

>>5928575
Dire Wraiths are just manipulating events from behind the scenes should be interesting to see where it goes.


Next Crossover will be "Return of Cobra" with God knows what kind of crazy shit going on. you can bet me on that.

>>5938035
after Xamot's death I was hoping Tomax would go off right proper. you know.. long and entirely believable conversations between the brothers and points where he was out of the room and Tomax's comments to him could have been mistaken for perfectly legit comments to people actually there.

It's sad it fucked itself.
I REALLY liked the Chuckles miniseries.

>>5938295
I thought Tomax's rise to power was a great use of the character without his brother's bloodlust and insanity he was free to become a member of the inner circle and we still don't know what happened between the Cobra files and Fall of G.I.Joe so him being head..."Face" snake is still unexplored.

does any one have Elite Force Marine Recon figures? how do they compare in size to gijoes? they get lumped in with 1/18 but I've read that they are 4" and not 3.75".

also, any suggestions for 4-4.25" modern soldiers? what about vehicles that are slightly large for 3.75" figures?

They are 4", yes. GREAT sculpting let down by poor articulation. Accessories go well with joes. Recommended for how cheap they are.

>>5938324
They're plain shit.
I believe they are 4", but that matches up with Hasbro's 1:18 scale. 6' = 4", so it's more true to life.

Anyway, they're really shit figures, worse than Peacekeepers crap. They're all hollow feeling and their joints feel like you're always going ot tear it off, because the plastic sticks together like a stuck joint.
Buy them only if you want cheapo basic background pieces, because their articulation is worse than Corpshit. They have great sculpts and good paint, but i wouldn't really recommend them. They are not fun to play with or pose.

this guy from that pack is even named "Cannon", as in "cannon fodder".

>>5938324
Their best value is if you're a customizer. They're not up to Bbi's old quality, but they're a gold mine for parts. Teika (now Hiya) did a set of 1:18 of 101st Airborne figures. Articulated like modern G.I. Joe figures, you really just need to replace the weapons and head sculpts.
More specifics about what kind of vehicle(s) you're looking for? You might be surprised what's available for properly scaled, yet figure-compatible vehicles out there.

>>5938572
What about military jeep, hammer, humvee and the likes?

Power team elite "world peacekeepers" has some of the best humvees >>5899396 , jeeps >>5905393 and other vehicles, the choppers are really good too.

Motor Max and True Heroes have some great planes and choppers, black hawks, F-22s,AB-115 >>5875365, >>5875298 and the A-10s.
Elite Force has the Abrahams >>5902767 and also Black hawks

U.S. Army has some jeeps like >>5938356

>>5938587

Expensive:
21st Century toys did a WWII Willys jeep, as well as Vietnam era+ M151 MUTTs in three flavors. Bbi, Unimax and 21st Century Toys all did HMMWVs, in various configurations.

Cheap:
Power Team Elite. These show up every holiday season at a close-out retailer called Big Lots. They do HMMWVs in a couple different configurations, and they have a jeep/trailer combo that gets the job done. Perfectly serviceable vehicles, though the larger the vehicle type the more "off" the scale is, which I'm thinking isn't gonna be an issue here.

Speaking of Big Lots and PTE, they've started putting them out. No mobile SAM, no Quonset hut.

>>5939239
Nice. But yeah, I hope we see some of the bigger sets as we get closer to Christmas. Especially that quonset hut and the big helicopter.

They had the Black Hawk and the Z-9 (rocket attack helicopter), the big bombed out building in tan and grey, HMMWV soft top, the open bed version was also on the modular print out, so I assume that will be on the shelf soon, too. Also had the regular Type 92 IFV, though the modular photo showed a white/grey camo similar to the tracked HMMWVs from a few years back.


What else..oh, the ChiCom copy of the Argo Avenger 8x8 comes in a mid-sized set with an ATV, now, and they have (I think) 8-figure packs. Looked like regular green camo dudes and wet suit divers.

Of course with the reboot it will probably go unwritten. Cobra Commander (pre BOOM Headshot!) Would probably be ruling the world now.

Aw man, if it's 1:16 then Bruder is the best you can get. They feature scary German engineering filled with loads of details and gimmicks. Like, some of their vehicles not only have steering, they have steering-wheel-steering, i.e the steering wheel turns along with the front wheels. It's a shame they only deal with urban/farm/work vehicles and the like.

Ok pulled the trigger and bought Stonefist and one of the non madusa sisters from BBTS hope these are actually good and not overrated like the MTF stuff.

In what shitty country with bootleg only toys do you live in?

This is basically a standard with larger scale cars since forever.

That's pretty much the modular. My BL has the PTE on the end cap temporarily. God, I wish we'd get the newer stuff here.

>>5940290
An odd request, wanting 1:16 vehicles for 1:18 figures. Someone has mentioned Bruder already. 1:16 is also a big (no pun intended) for R/C tanks.

>>5940534
sorry, I misspoke. 1:16 is actually larger than what I need, it's more something ridiculously off scale like 1:17. it's a shame because there are so many good options on either side. oversized 1:18 vehicles will likely work though, so I'm looking into True Heroes stuff.

TRU's True Heroes' stuff are by a HK company called Chap Mei (google it). They used to have their own Military/Dinosaur/Medieval toylines with 1/18 compatible but it seems like they are now just contracting their molds out to various toy companies. The U.S. army vehicles and playsets, like this jeep are Chap Mei too and tend to have better colors than TRU's.

Chap Mei's quality varies. Some are quite hollow, pic related is one of the better ones. Their larger vehicles like tanks, their submarine, their osprey and >>5875298 are usually shrunken versions of what they are supposed to represent.

>>5938693
Wish I could buy anything cheap here, but with shipping recently they ends up as much as expensive ones.

I'd agree with you on MASK, but VENOM's hardly in name only. Mayhem being the Sea Adventurer was cute, and I didn't get the impression that Rax was Asian, just that he's a pasty fucker.
Miles is still a MASK founder who's going to betray them to terrorists, and he, Rax and Vanessa are pretty in character.

>>5936354
>we have to settle for Storm Shadow now being an Action Man villain
To be fair, that's hardly a bad thing, because Barber's Action Man is better than pretty much anything to come out of IDW GI Joe.
(Also we're getting Baron Ironblood and Quarrel, so that's fun.)

>>5940133
Whoa. They have black hawks in the new designed package. Hope to find one here.
