Well any figure in yellow sucks IMO. Plus so far the Club usually makes the figures better, but even as garish and silly the Brazil figures were I really didn't mind them, it was just Claymore's Yellow that SUCKS! Claymore is just too important in my verse to get relegated to the bottom of the pile with the rest of the HAZMAT and Lime green. But if they could make it better why don't they. I think this is why we haven't seen Lifeline, Sci-Fi, Cross-Country. Windmill, Skidmark and Wildcard will probably never get made either.
I'm not a purist. Improvise, Adapt, Improve. I'd love to see that Horrow-Show figure made before Lifeline in Bright Red pants. And I use to love Lifeline. BTW if you were to say Horrow-Show to a Russian that means "Good" or "Great" Probably one of the most common words used by Russians. I assume Larry Hama knew that, I did not until I moved here.

No I did not. But I love the guy. I head swap a few Star Wars guys to get the rest of my GIJoe general staff. I need to get a picture.
AS far as winter goes its cold. And it snows everyday at least. Right now it's 10 degrees F. (-12C right?)

Everytime I say something contentious, I end up wanting to delete it.

I totally understand the purist sentiment. Getting an accurate update to ARAH into the 25th ME is like getting a work of art.
The Neon just gets under my skin. I can't say it's what drove fans away from the toyline circa 87. (Claymore is 86) I've bought many of the convention sets over the years, but I pass every other year not because of colors but because of characters. I like new characters and thats what the Club is good at. At $300 it's a big dip in my funds. But I'm all over Mission Brazil only because of Claymore Yellow or not. If he is Yellow I may not open this set. The Convention exclusives can sometimes be better than the set itself. So I can't wait for this year. Waited years for Red Shadows, sucked it was O-ring but I bought it anyway. I passed on the year before last Crimson, because i had the original set. PaSSED on the head hunters set since I army built Headhunters years ago. Nothing new with this set. Got a Hotwire though. Bought 2 coil sets since almost every character was new. Passed on Destro set but picked up Mayhem and a few Iron Anvils Bought 2 sets with the Night Stalkers Missed the swamp set but napped the Dreadheads and Demolisher.

Actually my wife's career brought us here. It's an interesting place. Traffic is ridiculous, not speaking Russian sort of makes it less enjoyable, but it's a huge city with a lot to do.
I can probably say I own the largest GIJoe collection in the biggest Country in the world!

Just wanted to share a picture of my GIJoe General Staff. See if you can guess who some of these guys are.
