I think it's interesting that they felt what was needed in a Viper update was a scarf. Maybe he uses it to wipe off his visor.

Sideshow Cobra Viper started the scarf on the standard Viper.
Firefly looks cool. Looks like the Joe's are going to have their hands full!

Maybe Hasbro finally realized that most GI JOE collectors are really Cobra collectors.

Got the She-Ra DVD's today :-) The cases have a nice rainbow hologram effect I really like :-)   |

  Latest cheap eBay comics. I did make a mistake in this purchase. There's tons of comic stores on eBay, but one thing I usually try to do is buy from people selling a copy with an actual picture, not stock photos. I didn't look closely enough at this stores listing details. Two issues I am not completely happy with as a result. The other thing is, I bought Wolverine #52, not #72, which I already owned. He refunded me the cash and let me keep the copy of #72. Not a big deal as these are common issues. |

Yeah, it's not worth the trouble for a seller to have someone mail something back if it's a common, lower priced item.

 So, here's my latest comic get... X-Men: Fatal Attractions collected trade. This event marked the return of Magneto. Collects: X-Factor #92 X-Force #25 Uncanny X-Men #304 X-Men (vol. 2) #25 Wolverine (vol. 2) #75 Excalibur #71 Uncanny X-Men and X-Men deal with the teams confrontation of Magneto. While Wolverine deals with the fallout from his injuries. The other three issues work more as stand alone stories. The big knock on this story is Magneto is very much insane in it, but I think that was an editorial push, and the in-world explanation is his power levels were higher than ever. This crossover several big moments: * Magneto pulling Adamantium out of Wolverine's body. * Professor X's Magneto solution, which is to mind wipe him. * Colossus switches sides, albeit because of his emotional pain over the loss of his parents, brother, and no sister, which he blamed on Professor X. * And finally, one moment I always found interesting, Quicksilver not being against the government building sentinels in a "Can you blame them" sort of way. I mainly got this so I can read the story (when I get to it) on glossy paper. |

 I had pre-ordered these a long time ago off of Hasbro Pulse. Surprisingly, they arrived today. The weather being all snowy wet here in Baker, the package was gross. I didn't even want to touch it. I can't really justify large scale Star Wars collecting, but I am a sucker for Padme (I think George Lucas basically wanted to play Barbie dress up with her, so we end up with countless looks for the queen turned senator). |

I thought those two were boring releases how ever many years ago, and I still do. I'm happy figures like that got made (remade in Anakin's case because the first version is horrible), but for re-releases/face repaints...there's better choices they could've made. Funny this wave was supposed to be online/fan outlets and is appearing at retail, because that's how it works. I've seen 2 all new figures in the past year at an actual store (and not that many face repaints). But then I hardly get out to places anymore.

I have the traveling Padme, so its a good figure to go along with it. If I ever get ahead of this He-Man/Classified collecting, might try to get some other Padme figs I'm missing.
Oh and I forgot, that's by FedEx, regular mail isn't running today.

  Huh. Turns out I did have that Queen figure from back then... and I'm not too impressed by the new paint apps. Ah well. I do like Peasant Disguise Anakin; looks good next to the counterpart Padme figure. But it does ditch the traveling cargo, hmmm.... |

I had the original AOTC Anakin, that figure sucked bad. The one you got looks light years better than the one I had.
