Yes, Hama was responsible for the Snake Eyes Trilogy, Storm Shadow, & most of the "classic" GI Joe lore. I know he wrote the first 50 or so issues ...

Shin - how are you so well informed??? Great info as always mate.

That's a nice cake Dave!! Happy Birthday mate!!

I haven't seen any TF Movie Deluxes in a looonnnggggg a$$ time!! And leader class Brawl, cool. I'm debating whether to get this or the desert scheme version ... need to save some cash.

I just picked up the TF Movie repaint Thundercracker at Wal-Mart in southern california. I have attached 2 pics as proof. Also saw the Rescue Ratchet voyager - but passed on him. Still no TF Movie Deluxes at all. Good luck hunting.

Yeah, it's also scalper paradise on eBay ...

Damn, she's a fine bird. I may have to find one of these myself ....

Thanks for the great info Graham. Much appreciated.

FYI: Discussion is already happening on this topic here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...t=0&start=0

My understanding is that Hasbro approached Marvel comics to create a comic book for their new GI Joe military toy line back in 1982. Larry Hama got the assignment and not only wrote the comic book series, but most of the character backgrounds too. This would include the data cards on the back of each figure, as well as naming all the characters and vehicles. He did an awesome job.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Looks like I should start hunting around for the 8" Joes while they're available.

FAWK. That sucks.

I wish we could see better pics of the 25th anniversary paint schemes, but the VF-19 looks interesting .... I may pick up the SDF-1 ...

I bought the Series 3 set about 2 years ago ... it contained all DYRL valkyries with fast/strike packs in battloid & gerwalk modes, + 1 green female power armour (forgot the name). They are small, but decent for display. But the listing you have linked is EXPENSIVE ... whoa!! ** EDIT ** Found a pic of the set

Shin: Thanks for the different link to reviews - works great! And I didn't realize it, but after reading a few reviews, I now understand that while Sigma 6 is going away, the 8" Joe line isn't - but there are different series in the 8" line now. And some are new combos of old molds ... ah, I see!! Very cool. Muchos gracias!!

Oh. Thanks for the clarification ....

I second that ....

Looks like someone already bought the item with buy-it-now ....

That would be cool ... I'd buy them too!!

Ha Ha Ha :lol:

Yes, larger pics for desktop wallpaper, please!!

Thanks again for the great info Shin! Those 2 SE and SS figures look AWESOME. Where did the designs come from? A recent GIJoe comic I assume? I noticed your a Mod on Hisstank.com - cool! And that upcoming Torpedo is sweet, I'll be picking him up. Although that Sigma 6 Central page isn't working - it's empty for me. Shame.

sh002 - Thanks for posting the coupon and the info on G1 SkyLynx reissue - although I'll pass on him. I too, hope that Takara reissues more G1 TFs. eugimon - Damn, that is cool!!

Nice pics ... they make me want to buy a foldildo set for my VF-19 ... almost.

Well, the first step in breaking an addiction is admitting you have one .... you are slowly, but surely on your way to recovery. :lol:
