The female monster/robots being the best. Lynx and Paradign are two of my favorites. There's all kinds of crazy female figures in 1/12 scale, but it's pretty slim pickings in 1/18.

Well, poopy. Let's hope they change their minds.

They have some pretty cool filler vehicles as well. Again a bit cartoony, but still awesome.

Personally, the Fornite line has been awesome for space/scifi figures. That's the main litmus test for me when buying, can I use it in a scifi dio? And there a ton that are great. And with many, I've army-built the hell out of them.

Others I just buy for the goofy fun of them. A shelf of anthropomorphic bananas, because it makes me smile and why not.

I got into the Fortnite figs to use as custom fodder for figures missing in my 25th/ME collections over the last year when a bunch hit clearance on Amazon.

Raptor became Crystal Ball with a MU Dr Strange head, Jules's head got put on a ROC Baroness body mixed with an Aero Viper to make a Sunbow GI Joe Raven, and Renegade Shadow became Low-Light with a Desert Battle Zartan's alternate head.

I really wish I had been collecting these from the start, I am really impressed with the sculpts and articulation and the line is a fantastic addition to my 25th/ME collection.

I've started grabbing any I find that I feel fits in with the GI Joe shelf. I mostly stick to the realistic ones but I've been eyeing some of the wackier ones. Like Crackshot I want to put with my custom Sunbow Gamemaster figure since he used the nutcracker toy soldiers in his GI Joe episode. And I wanted to get a bunch of Zero to make into Renegades Bio Vipers so I hope he hits clearance someday, cause almost $30 for a 4inch is too high for army building. I wouldn't mind grabbing a 6 inch version of a clear blue Zero either as the Bio Vipers could size shift.

Really looking forward to DR Slone and that Tech 4 Pack. Slone looks like she fits right in with Destro's faction. I feel The Tech 4 packs versions of Lynx, Archetype, and 8ball are superior to the originals and will look great with my Joes.

I collect Star Wars and DC figures to be Star Wars and DC figures other than that any 1/18 line is fair game for my GJ Joe world. I have several Fortnite figures filling Joe roles. I think they look fine especially when I have so many different lines serving as Joes.

Been in this line since the very beginning. Still haven't played the game but something about the figures calls to me.
Can't believe it's been over 4 years and going strong!

I remember finding the first wave back by electronics in Walmart on the cardboard kiosk.

Need to take an image of it, but there's an updated DCPI for Solo Mode. Most of the current unreleased figures fall under the old one in our system, so I imagine there's some slowdown in getting them corrected so that they're easier to distribute.

Long shot request here: anybody have any of the yellow translucent FN weapons they can let me buy off them? I need a small bundle for an Even Steven figure I'm fabbing up, like 5 weapons total. Anything and everthing, please; pistols, gatling guns, axes, knives, crowbars, etc. I've been tossing all FN weapons as too goofy for my tastes but now I realize they're perfect for Even Steven. He's in the Karl Kesel KS-comic Impossible Jones, as an homage to The Question, Mr. A, and other such Ditko 'Objectivist' heroes. Even Steven sincerely believe Good can always defeat Evil in a fair fight, and can manifest mystical equals to whatever weapon his foes are wielding:
