Since this is about Joes I have a question for those who do collect them. What do you use to replace the O ring in the old joe figs? I have about oh - 40+ figs ( back in Phils) , mostly Cobra ( luv em more) but some of the figs are suffering from cracking O rings... I dont know what to replace them and due to this I had to retire 1 frag viper, my Gnawgahyde dreadnok, Destro V1as well as an iron grenadier.
My fave is of course Cobra Commander! Since my fave is TF is Starscream - both Characters treacherous, cowardly ( their self preservation instincts are very high
) and voiced by the late Chris Latta. I'm so very pleased of the relaunch ( sort of like Encore) event that happened late last year in Phils with the 5 packs of the more popular figs getting a more detailed sculpt - woohoo!
Even with the vehicles Cobra has the more interesting ones. Names alone is far more creative - F.A.N.Gs, H.I.S.S. tanks, M.A.M.B.A.s et all really cool!
My friend back home said that he will reserve a new version Cobra Commander - loose. Im hoping I could find more 5 packs as they're pretty sold out and only hobby shops sell them there now.
Im curious as to how they changed the O ring on the newer molds, if they have O rings at all, or probably now a ball and socket thing, my friend wont elaborate. Says you see it for yourself when you arrive here.
Hoping that they (Hasbro) reissue a Cobra-la pack as well. An improved Nemesis enforcer fig. Coz the first one does no justice at all to the cartoon version. The wings are small and the figure looks dreadful, not menacing , muscularly bulky with a big batwings like it should be. Also a Phytona figure would be most welcome - she's like Arcee in TF world - a neat character that never saw a figure ever made of. Like L. Zed I tend to browse and buy off Joe figs in the parra fair as theres not much TFs to buy at times... might as well bulk up on another collection I have been neglecting.
Will try to migrate them here a swell but priority for now are the TFs and Comics.
