If I hadnt gotten the Ecto-1 Id probably wouldve tried for this as compensation This is a great looking tank!! I kinda want this and the Amphisbaena. I think it could look cool as either COBRA or Hydra against the Joes or Avengers in my collection or both?
This isn't a Star Wars Black Series thread, folks. Keep your posts on topic, please.

I quit Black Series a few years ago after too many that just didn't hold up. Plus after a while it just seemed like endless repaints of clone troopers. After I got decent versions of the OG characters I really lost interest.

I've yet to take a single MOTUC down and replace it with a Masterverse figure so I've just got a pile of this Mattel junk. I do want that New Eternia Evil-Lyn, though.
I just had this exact discussion with two friends: One I said I think I fell out of love with Masterverse and I wish I had just stuck to my guns of buying figures only from new media because I have an almost complete MOTU Classics Collection. As for Star Wars, I love Star Wars ut every single Black Series figure I buy get opened, I look at it for a while and then into a ziploc bag and in a bin. They are terrible figures though, construction wise.

I don't have any experience with Ramen and it is expensive but Hasbro is running out of Joes I'm interested in adding to the collection so my toy budget can be reallocated to a third party tank. All I'll need is Steeler and I'll be set.
I'm not really interested in these because of the size (I haven't even opened my HISS tanks), but I am experiencing the same issue. With Retro Cobra Commander and the Retro Troopers coming out, I'm hard pressed to think of what I will be buying from the Joe team. Blonde Cover Girl? Cobra Nightstalkers? A retro Jinx?

The ratchets on that prototype are serious too
When I was a kid I thought the bridge-layer was so damn cool. Never had it myself, though I had a Wolverine and MOBAT, and upon reflection it seems like the sort of thing with fairly specific playability, but there was something about the commercial that just made me fall in love with it. Nice to see it's kind of getting some attention from Ramen, though I don't really think I'll be biting on any of this. But I'm glad it's out there.
