I managed to preorder Tomax and Xamot. This means that 2 big wants are being removed from the list. Dr. Mindbender is coming as well.
AFAIK, Sgt. Slaughter is unavailable and can only be obtained via Valaverse, a "plays with GI Joe Classified" third party line.
It's no secret that I wanna have a 1:12 scale cast of The Ballad of GI Joe...
Hence my need for a normal DESTRO!! (and a Ninja Snake Eyes)
I've already got Slaughter, Tomax, Xamot, and Storm Shadow on preorder. I could buy a shitty movie Snake Eyes to fill the gap, while the superior Commando Snake Eyes hits my Pile of Loot at BBTS.
Mindbender isn't available yet, but as soon as he's ready for preorders, I'm getting him.
So, the ones I need are Buzzer, Ripper, Torch, Doc, Shipwreck, and Snowjob to complete the ones in the video, BUT those aren't the only ones I want. So ignoring those 7 joes and cobras, WHO DO I WANT? That hasn't been announced... because Zarana is comming.
Quick Kick:
The Martial Arts Specialist, who is a less obvious Bruce Lee Tribute.
Bazooka and Recondo:
Tiger Force Variants are heading to Target, but no Targets in Puerto Rico and they don't ship here anymore. I just want standard versions of the characters that I'll have to get from eBay or BBTS, because seeing figures in the wild that are NOT Snake Eyes movie pegwarmers is almost impossible... Outback would ne nice, but he's not high on my list. Bazooka is because Look at him. He looks like your average Weekend Warrior that grabbed a Rocket Launcher and somehow made it into America's most elite anti terrorist unit... Recondo, Leatherneck, and Gung Ho look so badass together... or a bunch of Leather Daddies.
Blowtorch:
No... putting pan fried pork between two pieces of bread have NOTHING to do with my desire for Blowtorch...
Cover Girl:
The sausagefest must be diluted. Also, she's pretty badass.
Serpentor:
I wanna see how Hasbro updates the design while remaining Iconic... also I have some ulterior reasons... insert Cobra LALALALALALALALALALA!! and THIS I COMMAND!! References.
Raptor:
Because fuck you that's why... all jokes aside, he's the most bizarre thing to come out of GI Joe. And that's counting Serpentor, Cobra-La, zombies, Bazooka, Croc Master, Sgt. Slaughter, AND BIG BOA. A terrorist accountant who dresses like a bird and attacks with falcons. That sounds like an evil copy of a Captain America sidekick.
Armored Conra Commander:
The DiC series might have sucked itself, but the armored version of Cobra acommander looked so 90s...
This list is rather short, since I either have most of the figures I want in hand or in preorder. Also, being a more casual fan, it allows me to complete my most wabted figures faster...
