STALKER QC
Though I picked up 3 Stalkers on Saturday, I went hunting for more Sunday night (found 2 more, got 2 more). One of the main reasons I wanted a few more was because one of the 3 I picked up Saturday had some QC issues. I’m sure you’ve noticed in my Hawk and Stalker (Halker? Stawk?) pic is Stalker’s left boot turned pretty wide out yet foot pointing out the right way. The disc for the foot connection on that foot was not cast right and rotates at a weird angle. Hopefully the pic below gives an indication of what’s going on, and it drove me crazy yesterday (along with Cobra Trooper’s loose wobbly left leg). 2021-06-13_10-13-05 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr I’ve actually seen this same thing happen at the foot of a 25th figure, but can’t remember who. The foot was cranked down out of package, and kinda stuck that way. The feet are visible in the clear packaging, so I guess…avoid one’s with turned down feet? Other thing to avoid is a face that looks kinda off like this one I found last night: 20210613_213937 by HissHissFangFang, on Flickr Something looks kinda off? What do you all think? Jason |

How many of you are running into Walmart stores who do not carry G.I. Joe toys? I know of two here in Arkansas, and I ran across one in Farmington, MO last week. No pegs or shelf space at all for G.I. Joe toys.

I have ran across 2 Walmarts like that. They are the smaller ones. Funny is brickseek shows them as discussed for $5 with 6+

The town I live in the Walmart we have has no peg space for anything GI Joe. Though what was curious was this Walmart got in a case of wave 3. Of course they had no pegs for them they just stuck them somewhere. They have sold out by now.

Picked up one of each to open today.
I'm a fan and convert on the Cobra Trooper. The helmet fits *just right* and makes the overall package look that much better. The blue could be a bit darker, the Cobra logo maybe 12% bigger, the webgear could stand to lose the gun (it hides the logo) and I'm worried I'll rip it if I try to force the knife in any more. But the oveall figure looks good on its own. The above are minor grievances. Stalker is also very good, but I had far fewer reservations about his quality than the Trooper. Even the Walmart grocery stores here have toys, but they're limited to dollar store type stuff. There is one smaller store with a much smaller toy dept than usual, but that's it. I live in a state with large families/lots o' kids so I reckon that's why.

No new stock in my area yet. Hopefully, in a day or 2 the listings will change.

After getting the Fang and the Cobra Trooper I come to realize that this is my scale. I have been collecting the 6" figures for FOMO. While I like the sculpts of the 6". They are just to big for my taste (doll like). I will keep buying them for now but the more I look at them the more I just want the 4"

Finally found some. Interestingly enough, there were 3 stalkers but no troopers. At another WM, the staff, clearly on their day off, was cavalierly going through the pallets pulling stuff for themselves.
