DC Classics Updates
and a Gleek Mini-Review

Some folks tend to avoid the internet on the weekends. If you're one of them and you collect DC Classics, you might have missed a few important news items. On Thursday, we relayed Matty's message about DCUC9 shortages and then watched as the prices on eBay climbed accordingly. We're in between on how difficult this wave will be to find. Vault stumbled onto a case at his TRU on Wednesday and found the first half of his Chemo set. That filled the rest of with hope that this wave won't be a repeat of DCUC5 which none of us ever saw at retail, but we won't know for sure until the sightings dry up.

JoeWeek is wrapping up her at ItsAllTrue.Net. We're skipping our usual Saturday figure request for this week so we can get caught up on Joe reviews. We were going to have the Crimson Neo-Viper and Doctor today, but our local Wal-Mart brought a nice treat today, the "Offscreen" ROC 2pk of Shockblast and Night Creeper! See, even when you're trying to get caught up, you still have to buy new stuff. It never ends.

JoeWeek hits Friday! We're going to forego our usual Friday Five for this week so we can get caught up on Joe reviews. Today, we're opening up the General Hawk with Jetpack and the Paris Pursuit Baroness...

Buying Joes isn't just about picking up a lot of individual figures, it's about vehicles and playsets too. While some of my fondest memories of playing with Joes are vehicle-based, I'd been avoiding buying any ROC vehicles. There are a couple of reasons for this. One, my adult sensibilities kick in and remind me that space is at a commodity. And two, almost all of my Joe purchases are guided by a bit of nostalgia. One or the other of those has kept me from making vehicle purchases so far. The ROC Night Raven, though awesome, has nowhere to go right now. The Ice Dagger, though awesome, is no Snow Cat. Finally, though, one of the vehicles was able to convince me to overlook space and nostalgia concerns: the Crimson Hydra.

JoeWeek keeps on rolling! Today, we bring you two more third wave figures, Anthony "Flash" Gambello and the Para-Viper. Flash, like Helix, is another figure that's design comes to us via the ROC video game while the Para-Viper is a repaint of the 25th Anniversary version, but in the red/black M.A.R.S color scheme.

JoeWeek keeps on rolling! In the bevy of movie Joes, two in particular caught a lot of folks attention, one for being unique and the other for being generic: Helix, a new Joe created as an unlockable character for the video game, and the Pit Commando, an army building Joe that comes packaged with 13 accessories including multiple guns, different headgear, and still more accessories.

Yes, I know I’m a slowpoke, but last night I went and finally watched G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. When I was a kid, I watched the cartoon but I’ve never read the comic book. I collected the toys back then also, but until the recent movie figures; the last Joe toy I bought was in the early 90’s. I don’t know everything there is to know about the brand, but I do know enough to get some of the “in jokes”.
