Just so you guys know, it wasn't exactly a "what you need, I'll get for you" thing. I think it was more of a survey so they'll know what will sell better and in demand compared to the stuff that is out now and nobody really wants them as much. Again, I'm not holding my breath but it's a positive thing to happen and can only help our chances better if the right people listen to the fans/collectors.

If/when I get word from the guy, I'll update.

Note to self : Will apply for credit card when start working.

I may need to start order stuff from Hasbro Toyshop, or other international toy site like BBTS.

I'm working and I'm still reluctant to get a credit card (I have one, but it's more for emergencies) Don't really like the idea of paying with money I don't have

same here.i pay cash for all my toy purchases..Credit is just gonna tempt me to buy more..

Some pics below, unfortunately taking pics at night in my house doesn't work that well, guess I have to restrict my self to taking pics in the day

Does anyone know which wave Ripcord in reactive armor belongs too? I haven't seen him around

Has that arrived locally?

naith: Yup, it did appear locally, i got myself of ripcord few weeks ago

Crap. I haven't seen him anywhere. All I've seen him in is in the accelerator suit

naith: Oh my bad! I thought you meant the accelarator suit ripcord! sorry sorry!

Anyone know why the packaging for the GI Joe resolutes are so confusing ... box don't show the actual contents inside? Have to open to know whats inside .

I randomly opened some, inside contents are different.... some have SE/SS/Duke and some cobras only.

How many types are there?

Sorry what do you mean by that, you can easily see the contents of the resolute set by opening the front of the box which has velcro holdings and there's only one resolute box set with the five figures contained in it being fixed namely:

Cobra Commander
Duke with Jet Pack
BAT
Cobra Trooper
Cobra Officer,

The other two box sets are the regular series joe and cobra boxed sets and the Greatest Battles DVD box set which has Duke, Cobra Commander, Snakeyes and Storm Shadow.

Hi all,

I did some paint job on some of my stuff and starwarsilike and fatimus insists on me posting the pics here, sorry for the lousy picture quality, don't have a canggih camera

Cobra Commander from the Comic Pack series
I hated the yellow plastic on him, i know they're trying to make it gold, but the entire belt, holster and sword sheath has the same color. So i went to Time Machine, got a few bottles of Mr. Hobby paint and 3 paint brushes and i spend a few hours on it to pass time.



I did some touch up on his boots, to make it look leathery shiny, add gold to the buttons and medals, including the flaps on the shoulders too (no idea what to call those) and painted his gloves black (originally dark blue)



I had to pain stakingly paint the belt gold and the belt strap black, but it was worth it. Had a little accident with the gold paint on its shoulder, i tried to clean it as much as i can but left a tiny patch there



I left the white paint on the sword alone, repaint the handle and hilt gold, didn't bothered to paint the blade as it looks good to me anyway



Here's the sword sheath...



Here's my gunship. I wanted to paste back the stickers, but after removing it, they're all ruined. But i didn't mind at all, it still looks good in black. However, i have little experience using spray paint so a lot of air bubbles popped out



At least i got a bit of experience experimenting on the paint mods

I also repainted Heavy Duty's minigun into metallic black and the belt feed to silver, least it looks better than before, sorry forgot to take pictures of those

Great effort on the CC and Cobra Gunship, it looks well done !

agreed with Fatimus, great looking! customs!

Love what you did with Cobra Commander! look at what slight touch up could do for a figure! simply sweet!


again Sadistic Reaper

Now i do wanna start painting some of my figures too, need to dins somewhere to start.

That's one neat-looking black gunship bro

Hi all

I did the final touch up on my Cobra Commander, i'm trying to follow the IDW's version by painting the gold lines on his chest, i wanted to add the Cobra logo on his chest but i don't have the decol (nor the skills to draw it) so i just leave it as that...

Anyways, here's my better detail pictures

Hey guys, received a call from the promoter. He said distributor told him that arctic assault SE and SS as well as others in that wave will be coming out here and that he will update again. However, he said he was told city strike SE is US only (how true, i dunno).

I asked if they can get store exclusive items and he said have to ask distributor/buyer first. Also said to give names of models/figures from Hasbro and Mattel that we are looking for/hot items so he can check.

I can't say his info is super credible but if you guys know of figures new or tba, i'll just sms and see how it goes. I am gonna ask about Rhino, need more names for him to work on.
