Bought some corps figure cause I needed a fix today and walmart had nothing else. I got two of the ninjas guys. To bad they dont have pop off heads they would work great for customs. How are the vehicles and stuff for joes?

The VAMP-like vehicle gets a lot of use with Joes I've noticed.
Get a Dremel or knock-off rotary tool and then any head becomes Joe compatible. |

I was looking at that vehicle this afternoon. For almost 15 it doesnt look bad neither does that tank.

I almost bought the blue tank today. I restrained myself, but just barely. I think my Cobras would look great in it with a few simple weapon mods.

Oh God! dont do that! dont buy Corps figures, that just justifies Walmarts stand that they dont need to carry GI Joe figures cause they already filled the nitch for military action figures.
Seriously all 3 Walmarts in my area have had between 8 and 10 pegs for Joes for and havent filled them in over 3 months. Its the only toy line you see that happening with. Besides Corps figure's heads are way too big for joe bodies. compare them side by side, they dont work. Some of the vehicles are descent but at that point your just settling for the consolation price. Some heavy modding can make them look bad ass though. emphasys on the "heavy".

I'd hardly call the vehicles consolation prizes. They're generally on equal footing with Hasbro's efforts. It's not like Hasbro is doing Night Raven and Tomahawk quality vehicles anymore. But when your vehicle tastes are on the Bbi/21st Century end of things it's hard for H or Lanard to compete. |

Corps! and Unimax's Bravo Team have replaced Joe in the Base/Post Exchanges, too. Then again even if Joes were sold there they'd be 10 bucks a pop just like all of Hasbro's action figure lines there are.

As for the vehicles, true Hasbro isnt making two seater Skystrikers but then again Corps isnt making Black Dragons, Vamp II, or Crimson Hiss Tanks. The Corps Vehicles are terrible! the jeep has two doors and they open backwards. Think about that for a sec! Suicide doors.........on a combat vehicle! The rear seats are only accesable through the roof hatch and the guns look like laser blasters from a disney movie toy.

I've purchased Corps figures for a fix in the past and have even considered the ninja figures you are talking about. I also have several vehicles put out by Lanard. They are all pretty good toys IMO.

The one white ninja guy has a nice head sculpt imo. I would use him as chinese triad figure if I had a business suit body.

Does anyone else have the Heavy Armor Tank that has chairs? Mines just has empty peg holes, I'm wondering why they didn't include it?
