Good luck, and congrats to you and the wife - and the new little Joe collector!
Thanks for the kind sentiments! Yes, the little guy is a handful at times (especially in the middle of the night) but he's totally the coolest thing I've ever been a part of. Can't wait to share the epic loads of all things G.I. Joe that I have waiting for him...
In echo to everyone's assessment of the new vehicles: I deliberately skipped the HISS tank since I think it looks like something out of the Playmates Terminator toys that are still rotting at all my local TRU stores. Too cartoony looking and wouldn't stand a second in a real-life battle. The ugly figure is just the icing on the stale cake...
The Snow Cat, on the other hand, is everything I hoped it would be and I'm totally ecstatic to have one, even if the outer box was a little dinged. Looks great and if you pop the Arctic Shipwreck head on the figure you almost get a new take on Frostbite. It was so much fun taking all the parts out and putting the thing together like I did back in the day when I first received the Tiger Cat.
Side note: Did anyone else notice that the file name for Whiteout is taken from the guy who runs Lee's Toy Review? Not sure if he's a big G.I. Joe fan but I don't remember hearing anything online about the name before I spied it on the box...
