If the motherfucker can tame and train a barracuda then that's really something. Even Croc Master would be impressed.

Croc Master has a backstory in the IDW comics, but it can be pretty much summed up with: he's from Florida.

I think that's a little reductive, considering how crazy his backstory actually is Although "Florida man quits job at Alarmforce to start his own company selling untrained alligators as security devices" is a headline I wouldn't be all that surprised to see

"organically conditioned" So, like, that just means that Destro gave him an extra bottle of vitamin C every month to help him fight off the many infections he/they would pick up in disease-ridden waters, right? (I had this guy as a kid)

I know this thread seems to have died, but Hasbro put up an official G.I. Joe website with a character list that seems to be previewing upcoming action figures in the new 6" G.I. Joe Classified line: https://gijoe.hasbro.com/en-us/characters Most of the usual suspects are there, plus some surprising deeper cuts. Hasbro's G.I. Joe social media accounts are promising announcements and reveals all week, culminating in a "Fan Friday" on https://hasbropulse.com/ this coming Friday, which will probably be the first opportunity to see all the newly-announced figures and merchandise in one place and preorder them. We might even get the first teaser trailer for the Snake Eyes movie. I know this thread was created to make fun of G.I. Joe, but I know there are some old and lapsed fans here, so that's why I'm sharing. The new Snake Eyes figure is awesome, for what it's worth:

I got that Snake Eyes figure too; it does look really good. He sits on my desk until the cat decides to knock him off.

RandomFerret posted:I think that's a little reductive, considering how crazy his backstory actually is Who would "A casual visitor to Cobra Island" be? Why would Cobra Island have a visitor not accompanied by guides/security personnel? Why would Cobra Island install "mazes worth of trained crocodile pits" rather than "a locked door"? Why would Cobra Island let people ON Cobra Island if they had things on there that secret? How would a "NON-Casual Visitor" or "the people who need to get there" access these places protected by an never ended maze of crocodile traps? "Steve I just need to check the server room." "Well it's 4 miles of crocodile corridor and some proximity mines, and then you get to the breakroom. Take a left. Then.."

Also, Snake Eyes kills people. The inconsistent updated art on that Hasbro site doesn't hold a candle to OG box art, and trying to make Chuckles look less like Magnum PI just makes him look more like a Boogaloo Boy.

Joes have been announced in the 6" Classified line: Available for preorder now on https://hasbropulse.com/collections/gi-joe : Three different variants of the same Cobra Commander, including a fancy special edition A gaudy and garish "Profit Director" Destro variant based on the obscure and ultra-rare "Pimp Daddy" Destro Gung Ho Red Ninja Viper Storm Shadow (only a cold weather variant so far; an Amazon exclusive) And some upcoming Target exclusives that were revealed this week: The Baroness (with a motorcycle nobody wanted, to jack up the price to $40) Cobra Trooper Beach Head Roadblock (another variant with a black tank top, a long beard, and the same weapon) Big Bad Voodoo Lou fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jul 24, 2020 |

The voice actor for Destro won't sign those ones at conventions. He finds them offensive.

I was gonna say "why, is that a Scottish stereotype?" but then I realized his voice actor is probably black. I think it's dope but I can see why he might be suspicious of his character getting the "pimp" remix and not the others.

I was cleaning out some storage recently and I found my childhood collection of GI Joes in near perfect condition. 100s of figures, 30+ vehicles, the works. I’ve spent hours of the last few weeks identifying them, matching accessories, and posting them for sale on eBay. I’m equally surprised at how terminally stupid they look in retrospect and also how fast they are selling. I will say one positive thing though. They are really well constructed and durable considering how old they are. Some of my oldest are 35 years old and still move almost as if new. Compared to most of the toys I buy for my daughter these days, those figures are so much higher quality. I am not selling them for cheap and I’ve sold 20-30 in the last 3 weeks. I’ve sold multiple figures for 50-100 bucks. There are huge communities that still buy and collect these things. I’ll probably have a few thousand dollars once I finish selling them all.

A guy I used to work with had to quit his job to take care of his elderly aunt. He had a complete collection of GI Joe figures from the 80’s with multiple duplicates. Along with his wife’s retail job, he’s comfortably supported himself and his two kids for almost 3 years now by selling off his collection on eBay. He’s made a small fortune from slowly parting the collection out over time.

Not surprising they're fairly durable, being 80s toys made for more or less the same market as Transformers. Big name toylines have to pass a lot of safety tests, drop tests and all.
