Are they really that bad? (I have only seen Kata-block so far). Must be a widespread factory flub. Shame it had to be him.

Same deal with the recent marvel universe Jubilee figure. Wall eyed for the most part. Your right though, it's a shame hasbro can't get the quality control issues under control.

Hopefully these new Retaliation figures aren't as poorly painted as the entire Indiana Jones line was. Between that, Iron man 1 (OMFG), Iron Man 2 (bleh), clone wars, and a good chunk of their other marvel stuff, Hasbro's ability to get the paint where it needs to go has been disappointing.

There are tons of figures from those lines that I would have bought had they been painted or assembled with some care. Too much has looked like a rush job, especially the Iron Man toys. In the past, I would have trouble picking the best looking figure because they all looked great, nowadays I can't even bring myself to buy certain figures because they look terrible. But sometimes I just say "ah fuck it" and buy a figure if their sloppy heads can be covered with a helmet, like my ROC Accelerator suit Duke with that long reptilian like right eye I got for $4 at Lincoln Marshalls.

I've been pretty happy so far with the new waves for Ret. I also have been lucky enough to have picked up two non-cock-eyed Coltons...time to take a break from buying and continue work on my dio...with that said anyone know of any good local places for 1:18 scale items outside of Joe lines that would work well in an urban dio?

I recommend the "World Peacekeepers" line of generic soldier figures, vehicles and accessories. They're available at most Big Lots stores and are pretty cheap too. The figures are rubbish but the vehicles are alright and the accessories and diorama pieces are pretty awesome- so awesome that they are mostly the exact same stuff that Marauder Inc. sells in their online store.

Also, I believe I do have that Jungle Duke for you if you want to swap him for that Dark Ninja. Hang onto him for me and we can trade at the next meet if you'd like.

Yeah I am not sure what has happened to Ocean State job Lot, as they carried the CORPS! stuff and I went to look for their dio stuff and the toy section was pretty much devoid of boy toys, which sucsk as they sell the 1/18 Harley's, I'll have to head up to Big Lots. I may also hit up Charles Ro to look at some G scale stuff

Yeah man I'll hold him and we can hook up over the weekend...
