I agree it would be beneficial if the Rattlers wings could pull out and reveal a recessed hinge then when the main wing engines are horizontal the wings would be vertical and when the engines are vertical the wings would be tipped backwards horizontally.

There is even an "excuse" for why they'd do that if Gi Joe got their hands on some Rattlers and want to be able to operate them more easily from a Carrier as Tigerrats then folding wings would be beneficial.

Cobra could then copy the idea. Or one could argue they could always do that to save Hanger space.

Alternatively they could just be cheap and allow you to pull the wings on and off like the Dragonfly's tale comes off. Then someone could make a right angled adaptor for display in that other mode as an option after marker piece.

Well, glad we can clarify that at least. I think most of us in this thread already knew that, but some folks were still speculating it could be an O-Ring Haslab.

Christ on a stick - more preorders!

(I know I know I know, it's just how toy buying is now - and I'm blessed that I don't have any hangups at having a floating $1,000 or so in GI Joe Classified charges at any time. Just this post-pandemic reality suuuuuuuuucks.)

I got Jinx from Hasbro today. Does anyone else think Hasbro is seeking revenge from the complaints about the packaging? The parts of this new wave are so molded into the plastic it is very hard to get the pieces out. I get concerned I?m going to break something.

I just started collecting the Mondo stuff. I've got the Rogue, on preorder, and I'm looking around for Gambit. I believe he's still sold out, on BBTS.

the 85th retro cardback venom is heavily speculated that it will go up for pre-order during wal-mart con at the end of the month.

edit: I think Dan also mentioned it was wal-mart con but I'm not certain.

Definitely man. I'm a sucker for the Spider-Man retro cards, even though I toss the packaging.
