Well, I didn't make it, but thanks to the many fan sites and everyone out there, I was able to see a little bit of what happened at the GIJOE convention this year. It hardly seems like convention time, I kind of got used to it being more in the middle of the year. Or maybe that's since we still have some snow piles on the ground this year, that it doesn't seem like we're in spring yet.
I like a lot of the new stuff that I see coming out in the stores this fall. While I may not incorporate any of the Renegades cartoon into my own realm of imagination, I do like that show...and may just go for some of those figures. I have no Scarlett and this one would work very well. I'm mostly looking forward to the Black Dragon Helicopter. It seems smaller when a figure is sitting by it, but I'm digging helicopters lately, and tilt-rotor is just as good in my book. I hope it is in the $20-range, but if the Skystriker is at the $30, this one might be, too. And the Skystriker is looking good, but I'm very much on centered on the fence on it at this point.
It's a "need" thing for me these days, and since the post prior to this, besides checking the Joe sites, I haven't done much with my own collection at all. I did try to repair the cockpit on the Night Raven with some glue, it has a snapped peg that keeps the lower belly part connected. it didn't work. But other than that, not much in the way of Joe.
Now that it is getting nice out, I should be outside more: spring!
