I got back into collecting Joes at the tail end of Valor vs Venom. As such, I consider the DTC line as a bit nostalgic for me. It includes a few new characters that have stuck with me. Guillotine is one of them. The Steel Brigade from that pack still rank among my favorite figures (wonky proportions and all). Since I troop built them, I ended up with a few Guillotines and I’m glad I did. The Plague was one of the great ideas that came out of that era. I started with Guillotine, but eventually, the other Plague Troopers are on my (very long) To-Do list as well.
Head, torso, arms: 50th Bazooka Legs: Retaliation Roadblock Backpack, mask, sword, gun: DTC Guillotine Enjoy! OB

That's a great custom of a great figure. I really enjoyed exploring Guillotine (and the Plague) in my last two novels. I ended up making my own custom using a Retaliation Roadblock body, but I don't think it turned out as well as yours. Wonderful job.

That looks like it's all set for retail. I think the DTC collection was actually quite excellent. It got me looking at GI Joe again and wondering. Once the 25th came out I was hooked completely.
I hope Hasbro, or the Club will consider all the figures from that era. I hope they come out half as well as yours.

Question--even though DTC was "Direct To Consumer", I saw them at Toys 'R' Us. Was that unusual?

At the time, Toys R US was the only store willing to sell GI Joe toys. I believe that with later waves, they were only originally offered at Hasbrotoyshop until they were clearanced out and I though GI Joe had died. I do believe some of the product STILL made it's way to TRU shelves.

Luckily, the DTC line doesn't command too high of prices on the secondary market (usually), so I may still have a chance to catch up on a lot of the stuff I passed up on.
