... and of all the "Joe" news, I am finding stuff from Acid Rain to be more interesting.
Cruising the 'Joe forums, a long time poster from way back to the current day, "AV" stated on his JC topic: "do want (and so do you!)." He's talking about the Acid Rain line, and if it isn't GIJoe, with my limited scope of everything these days, I usually wouldn't pay attention. So, I'm glad fellow GIJoe fans are still "talking" on the forums.
This 1/18th scale line looks cool, and as I've read more about it, I'm very intrigued. It's all true has a detailed write up that got me up to speed on one particular item. And not just the actual product which looks like it has a ton more love put into than a big-box toy aisle standard buck product, there's a solid background story to back it up that, in itself, I find interesting. Alternated timelines, what if's, I find that stuff fun.
This is all new to me, but I think this stuff looks cool. I don't know if I can"use" it, or if I "need" it, but I am pre-ordering the single pilot figure. I'm much more of a vehicle guy, but these vehicles are very significantly priced; not an inexpensive pick up, but at the same time it looks like the quality and detail are there. It's a whole new toy area for me here.
I'm going with the single figure for now, but aside from real life expenses, I don't see me buying much in the way of other new toy product this year, so maybe one of these new Acid Rain vehicles may happen for me. But at $20 a figure, it compares with a Club price and this is something new, and I want something new. And it looks like it will work well with what I have. We will see what happens when I get this in hand. I have high hopes from what I've read.
I don't know anything more about this line than what I read on the internet. At least, I will be following this line more closely. Apparently, from older posts while searching for information on this line, from almost a year ago show that many people have been doing the same already.
What do you think?
Potential GIJoe collector love across the board? Transformer collectors, too?
