Action Force - 6 Inch Figure Line by Former Hasbro GI Joe Designer Bobby Vala

In interesting news, Skeletron announced they are working with Cory Cantelupe. The Hasbro employee that was let go during the purge. Instead of making a video and complaining about how terrible Hasbro is they nutted up and hired the guy.

Agreed, that was nice to read about. Happy to see Cory getting classified adjacent work.

Good for him landing on his feet

It says a lot about the success of Skeletron when they can hire a designer. And makes me think something didn’t work out with Valaverse because you know Booby would’ve been in contact with him immediately.

That?s assuming he wasn?t already aware of Bobby?s cunty behavior. We already know he has or had a poor relationship with multiple other Hasbro employees. This may just be another example of that.

Miami Vice on my shelf.

I should have 39 points at JoeFest. I?ll happily donate the 19 leftover to the person who wants to use 20 of them to middleman a purchase of Giggles. I think LAF (loose action figures) may need to do a drunken lobby unboxing.

I'm still on the fence of going to Joe Fest, mostly because I'm worried with his crappy website I won't be able to order Not Mara.

Despite the claims, not a single exclusive has immediately "sold out." We've always seen them pop up again, and hang out for a bit (everything from the "extremely limited" Slammer, to Menstrual Accident Pandora). So your chances are fairly good about finding her on the site. Especially with his "anti-scalping" limits.

Apparently the anti scalping isn?t as much of a priority anymore?

That's why I used quotation marks. ;)
