Got these lot from Black Major in the mail today:



I have not looked up the names for these yet, so this is what I think I am gonna use them for.

The white Viper will probably be assigned to the Arctic or Winter Ops division of Cobra. I could see these working around Terrordromes in the Arctic, prepping Ice Snakes and other Cobra winter vehicles.

The two black camo Viper will probably work with the matching Alley-Viper (bottom left) as part of a special ops type squad.

The Viper with the red visor would be assigned to Destro's Iron Grenadiers.

The Captain America themed figure will probably end up getting called 'The Patriots'. There is another figure with a blond head on it, which if I track one down will be called 'Sentinel'. It would be Steven Rogers, a Brooklyn native, who is part of a USO/Army recruiter type position, but wants to be more field active. Could be the predecessor of the Supertrooper program.

The white BAT might get painted. No idea yet.

The Halloween themed Viper I have a few ideas for. The suit could be made of a material that allowed the bones to glow or stand out-perfect for a psy-ops type operation. They could also be Brainwave Scanner assistants and the suits would be designed as part of the effect to disorient the victim even more.

The Venom-esque character might become a named Special Ops agent for Cobra. Maybe like one level down from a Major Bludd or a Firefly in hierarchy.

The red ninja will probably become a Red Shadows ninja, maybe called, 'Red Menace'. Not sure, that's mostly first impression and fine tune from there.

The blue Viper with black goggles and the bottom right one feel like Terrordrome type troops. Maybe somewhat honor guard, maybe even color guard at Rancho Broca/Springfield school games.

The blue ninja will become another named ninja.

The python-esque Viper will become part of the Python Patrol.

The gray Viper will be assigned to the Stinger Drivers.

I am now up to my ears in GI Joe Classified Tiger Force RAM and Duke sets. I somehow ended up with 4 preordered from Target and 2 from Pulse and they all shipped before I realized it. But hey, fodder! Also got TF Bazooka and a couple Python Patrol Troopers/Officers or whatever they are calling them.

The rest of the first wave of animated D&D figures arrived too. Haven't opened them up yet.

_________________

Yeah, I've been seeing the RAM sets all over the place- ended up canceling my preorder just in time when I saw one in the wild. Now it's Python Vipers/BATs that I'm gathering - Bazooka gets delivered tomorrow and Recondo should be here next week. All I need is the PP Officer (heh) to build out the full TF vs PP squad that I have absolutely no room to display.

Finally was able to take pictures of the Rite-Aid set. I posed several sizes next to them to give the best idea of size and usability.

Sadly, some of the larger figures will not fit. And the one that does, 4" Stalker, barely fits. Perhaps one could fabricate a tinted canopy or something so that an empty drivers seat wouldn't be visible.

Turns out, the quad-piece could be the better item of the set. Most/all figures fit to some extent, and I think it would look quite nice painted and weathered.

Thank you for taking the pictures!

Some Target pre-orders arrived. And I got a late Xmas gift from a buddy (Deadpool). The magazine was just cool looking

Another BBTS POL arrived in the rain this morning. It seems like I’m getting one of these a week. So much stuff that was supposed to be out later in the year is arriving now. But what a problem to have

First up, Super7 Thundercats Ultimates Mandora and her Electrocharger arrived. These will be fun to play with and display. I love sci-fi motorcycles. This, the “Viper” cycles from Galactica 1980, Streethawk, the Robotech cycle armor. Gimme all of it.

Next is Neca’s Gargoyles Hudson. These are everything I wanted in a Gargoyles figure line but didn’t get when the show was on. The preposed figures at that time were cartoon accurate but lacking in articulation. These new ones fill that hole in my childhood heart.

Neca TMNT Last Ronin Unarmored Last Ronin figure arrived. Based on the recent comic series I knew I’d need all of whatever Neca puts out from it.

Some 30MM kits. Bandai seems to be behind on these even more than other stuff.

Another SWB Halloween Wookie to customize since Wal-mart cancelled my preorder.

And a few more figures and accessory sets from Valaverse. Building up a little squad of Steel Brigade figures to go with my Joes.

That’s about it. For now. My POL is already filling up again. I might have a problem.

Hit up 3 different Targets looking for Python Officers, but didn't find any (plenty of Duke Rams, though) - managed to snag 3 Black Series Jawas, though (the ones originally priced at $28) for $8.39ea, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

Weekend finds. All from 2 different Targets. Fortnite was clearance, $8.39.

Today, I found the Dolph Lundgren He-Man movie figure at Target (not pictured). To anyone going to buy this, be sure to price match with the website. You'll save about $7. Oh, same with Croc Master; cheaper on the site.

I saw a Facebook ad for BigBadToyStore and discovered they had another one of the Super7 Greenshirts on clearance, so I got 11x of the pink version.

Now I just need to make up a bunch of Doc's mirrors to defeat Cobra's Weather Dominator...

Actually I think they will make great scenefillers and fill out positions in vehicles (APC, etc).

Target finds.... Outback is probably the only Classifieds figure I'll end up getting. He's my favorite character.
Fortnite clearance was a good find. Under 9 bucks.
