So as folks are probably reading around the ‘net, assortments of Wave 13 are shipping as we speak. Woo hoo! 🙂
I don’t think I’ve been this excited to get new toys in a long, looong time. But not only are pre-orders being prepped and shipped, but this wave is in stock and ready to buy at a couple of places, too. Check it:
BIG BAD TOY STORE
BRIANS TOYS
For those folks without pre-orders or those folks who want to buy the figures singly, go and get ’em!

That’s it. End of story. I’ve found the Joe line I’ve been waiting for since the 90’s, only I never knew it until now.
Ever since I saw that three minute “sizzle” at the Joe Convention last year, I’ve been infatuated with the concept of Resolute and the execution of the series, but have always been curious as to whether or not the toys could live up to the hype. Well, HissTank forum member “art2614″ has put aside all of my fears. Basque in the wonder.

Like the Pyramids of Darkness, this mini-series pushed things a lot further into the science fiction realm, but I still found it fairly enjoyable. Granted, it was probably the one I liked the least of the 4 mini-series, but it still had it’s share of moments. I’ve never been a Sgt. Slaughter fan, I really disliked how the cartoon portrayed Serpentor, and the second season altogether just didn’t work well for me. In spite of that, though, I have to appreciate the mini-series itself, and there are a few great moments I want to talk about.

Well, kind of. I have no intention of picking up the Shark Tooth, but as part of my YoJoe partnership, I’ve reviewed the new Firebat over there. Same quality, same pics, just a different spot. 😉

After I received my DVD Battle Packs for the MASS Device and Revenge of COBRA, I composed a “Top 5” list of the 5 most memerable moments from those two mini-series…at least in my mind. Well, I don’t quite feel qualified to do that for Pyramids of Darkness and Arise, Serpentor, Arise. While I’ve certainly seen both mini-series a handful of times over the years, I don’t know them as I know the first two, so instead of pretending as if my personal list of memorable moments are the “Top 5”, I figure I’d simply list them as 5 memorable moments. But, as always, feel free to disagree. 😉

As folks are aware yesterday was Q & A day, and I’ve decided to gather some of the more interesting “Resolute” related news that folks might have missed amongst the deluge of questions and answers. Here are the facts:
