Some of the ridiculous amounts I've paid:
The Starduster from the con set 2 years ago = $85 Rip It from the Con set = $52 Hotwire from last year = $99 Plus I use to buy all the box sets as well. Then they switch to the new articulation and I have a hard time playing with my O-ring guys. I think guys are starting to unload their O-ring collections to keep up with the new stuff. But the International figure 3 packs = Priceless! If that set with Manleh had someone other than Starduster I might have picked it up. In the past, I have paid crazy amounts at times to catch some figures on ebay that were important to me. Night Force prototypes, European Tiger Force, etc. These figures would be great to add to my infantry unit, but I don't need them badly enough to pay that kind of money. Have we seen any file cards for these figures?

It looks great, it almost looks like one of those hyper-detailed and articulated Japanese specialty figures. And those "wings" he has look like they're perfect for a late 1980s Archangel custom figure in 1:18 scale.
And speaking of GI Joe crossing over with the X-Men, anybody else wonder if Cobra's Skull Buster was inspired (or ripped off of) Wolverine villain Skullbuster? Besides the name, there's the whole skull head motif and the ammo belt being a prominent part of the costume. Just something I've always wondered about. |

Hmm...that's interesting, most of these new Joes are international recruits: Redmack, Blades, Topson, Manleh, Shimik.
I really like the new Starduster. |

Yeah these are nice. I wasn't expecting any new figs like this.
Who's that Joe in the artic gear with what appears to be a snowboard on his back? |
