How I learned to love the movie…

Love the movie?  What?  To anyone on G.I. Joe message boards over the past six months those words almost seem blasphemous, as the outlook for the upcoming motion picture is bleak, to say the least.

To many fans it’s because the arrival of the movie means the “death” of the Anniversary homages, and in many people’s minds those figures will never come back.  To others, they fear the worst from the film standpoint, and can only imagine it suffering an immense and utter failure in plot and execution, thus “ruining” their memories and spitting on their childhood.

Come and get ’em!

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!

It Begins!

So last week we got a little peek at the Resolute “Pilot Destro” that’s coming out in upcoming Comic Packs.  Well, today, once again, HissTank has another new Resolute figure.  Granted it’s a tiny glimpse, but for the first time we see Resolute COBRA Commander here.

Of course I have my thoughts on this.

First look at Resolute figures – fer reals, this time

The venerable HissTank.com has once again come up with pics of soon-to-be-released toys.  I’m not normally one to horde news over on this site, but when it comes to Resolute, I’m so unashamedly in love with it already I gotta revel in every little tidbit!

Anyway, the aforementioned HissTank has posted pics of two new Comic Packs, Shockblast vs. Destro and Storm Shadow vs. Tunnel Rat.  While plenty of folks will go “ga ga” over Shockblast and Tunnel Rat (with decent reason, they both look pretty awesome), I’m all about that Destro!  Quite possibly the first real look at a Resolute figure, he’s got some great sculpting on those baggy pants and a very unique look.  It’s gotten me even more excited to see these figures hit!

Rumor has it that Big Bad Toy Store is getting their shipment in possibly as early as this week.  I’ll believe it when I see it, but I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing it!
