Awesome to hear. I wish I could but there aren't any comic shops around here so Amazon and eBay are pretty much my only options.
But speaking of eBay I finally found a Zombie Viper with all his extra bits that I didn't have to sell a kidney to get and it should be here next week.

www.cooltoyreview.com/GIJ30_Zombie_Viper.aspAn awesome looking zombified Cobra Trooper that up until a recent rerelease was damn near impossible to find at a decent price. According to the USPS website it should be here Monday. I'll do my best to snap a pic or two with the Joe sized Resident Evil figures I've made. Hmmm...a Resident Evil/GI Joe crossover. That would be something I'd really love to see now that I think about it.

Never been a GI Joe fan. As a kid my hippie liberal parents wouldn't buy me toys with guns, so no GI Joes for me. It was all Ghostbusters and DC Super Powers growing up. That zombie dude looks pretty cool though. And the Batman Animated line continues to be my favorite line going. Perfect 3D representations of the animation styles from the two different shows the line covers. It's right up there with the old Mezco Hellboy comic figures for my favorite toy line ever. One of these days/months when I get my shelf setup finished I'll try to post some pics, because these things are damn cool.

I just preordered this set, maybe the weirdest thing I've seen in a while: Alien MUSCLE figures... It's just so bizarre I had to have it. You get the whole Nostromo crew and two Aliens plus one egg, Ash is holding the rolled up magazine he uses to try and kill Ripley, and most are in that rasslin' stance the old MUSCLE guys had. I'm a total sucker for merch from the first Alien movie, and I was obsessed with those MUSCLE guys as a kid. So these tickle two nostalgia spots at once. And you don't have to buy a bunch of stupid blind boxes to get the full set, which is a bonus.

Got my Zombie Viper in this morning and it's so awesome. Don't think I'll be able to take any pics today though because I've got to help my grandma with some Christmas stuff.

Local comic shop, someone traded it in. Paid 60 for it but worth it. Im still hunting for another one if someone *cough* ok computer *cough* is wanting it.
The store is trying to get me another from a supplier so if it happens, I will let you know. I know CL here had a couple, maybe try there if stores arent carrying them?

I really want one but eBay prices are bonkers at the moment. I've been checking Target but all they have is the Rogue One waves.

My biggest regret with that line is not getting R2 when he was warming pegs, since I didn't think he was worth 20 bucks. Now that 3PO is out and I want R2 to go with him, R2 sells for 100 bucks on ebay. Oops.

My willpower must be weak today, because I broke down and bought Black Series Revan on ebay for $42 with free shipping. With my luck this means I'll see one at Target in the next couple days, but oh well. I didn't want to miss out on this guy, even though I've never played the game he's in. He's a cool looking Sith Lord, and that's good enough for me.
And solominic, I'm still interested in that R2 if the shop still has one.

Holy sith Revan is awesome. He's kinda short (much shorter than Kylo Ren) and mine had super loose hips I had to tighten up with super glue, but he looks totally badass. I never played the game so I don't know If he ever uses both lightsabers at once, but on my shelf he does. Great figure.

I want that Revan figure too. I never played the game he's from, but he's a cool looking character. Today during lunch I stopped at Kmart on the off chance they had some new stuff (hahahahahahahahahaha!!!), and of course they didn't, but their exclusive Black Series Katniss Everdeen Jyn Erso was marked down from $25 to $20, so I picked it up. It's a cool figure. The only other Rogue One Black Series figure I have is Roid Rage C-3PO K-2SO, but now I think I want some more. The other rebels at least, I don't really need the troopers. The Revan figure feels oddly short. I like the figure in and of itself, but it displays kinda weird. He's the second shortest Sith made so far. He's the same height as New Hope Obi-Wan.

Revan is real short. He's almost a half inch shorter than Kanan and Kylo. But he's still super cool. Since I know next to nothing about Darth Revan, I'll just say he's an Ugnaught on stilts or something.

Nostalgia haul for sure. My first electric was a Kramer Aerostar ZX10 in white. They also came in black and red. I just pulled the cheap trigger on a red one. It was already discounted a good deal, but I made an offer and they accepted it. Might have helped that it had been listed for 3 months already. But it's going to be fun. I'm definitely sanding the gloss off the neck, putting some heavy GHS Boomers on it, and down the road might change out the pickup. But as long as it shows up playable, I'll be happy.

I haven't bought any Hot Toys stuff in years, but I'm always tempted to get back in the game. The new '79 Ripley they have coming out this year and that Batman are extremely tempting indeed. It's always the price that keeps me from pulling the trigger though.
But DAMN that Batman looks awesome.

I'm also tempted by this guy: I dug all the new trooper designs in Rogue One, but the black Death Troopers are fucking badass.
