That is a great 12" collection, and it's nice to see a Joe focused collection amidst all the Cobra focus that you usually see. And I agree - Dusty looks like a black dude a bit. Just weird coloring if they're goin for the desert makeup thing. But I LOVE the exclusive Stalker sweater. Jealous!

Cool sketch. I saw jk Woodward doing a sketch on one of those blank covers marvel books when I meet him a couple weeks ago. I can't remember the name of the character he was drawing. I think it was the lady who hangs around with moon knight.

And chuck if you really want a 360 I'm going to get rid of my old one for $50. Nothing wrong with it othe then it's old :)

How come in those side show joes dusty looks black and beach head doesn't have his mask on?

So last Sunday I bought my 1st ever Green Lantern figure when I went to the 80s toy expo in Toronto and bought the DCUC GL vs MOTUC Zodac for $40. It's more than I wanted to pay but I never found it at toys r us. I like these 2 packs cuz they look great MOC and the MOTUC usually are a nice variant. Besides already havin the previous 2 packs, This pack was cool for me cuz after seeing the live GL movie, reading last years free comic and everything I've heard about him on podcasts it made me like this character and want his figure. And the zodac in this pack gives him white gloves and human feet like in the filmation cartoon.

Dusty looks so dark because he has camp paint on his face and BeachHead I believe has 2 heads that you can swap out.

My boys got a couple of the Tranformers Prime figures for Easter...have to admit, I'm impressed with the quality of the design. They also got Kung Fu Panda 2 on DVD, which exceeded my expectations when we saw it, figured it would not be as good as the first.

And for slasher movie fans with exquisite taste, here is something that Jeremy Haun thought up for me for my horror sketchbook.

There are no words...

First off that Starscream looks amazing. Such a cool figure and he looks great with Optimus.

Next, that Michael Myers sketch is creepy as hell. Love it.

Holy Crap Chris, nice looking Star Scream and Mike Myers sketch. Halloween is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. As always thanks for sharing.

The Masterpiece figures are the type of Transformers toys that I would be into collecting. I'm a fan of the classic figure designs, and new toys that they've done for the movies and whatnot just don't interest me too much. I've seen the Masterpiece Rodimus in one Toys R Us once. Are these exclusives to one store and super short shipped?
