Is there anywhere that lists what the UK did and didn't get? Am I right in thinking we were year behind the US for a lot of the line? Ta, Jonathan Two years! Confining ourselves to the single carded figures The orange carded 1985 line is US 83 & 84 www.yojoe.com/action/83/ & www.yojoe.com/action/84/ Snake Eyes - previously available as SAS Driver Stalker - and Spirit are missing. Grunt is a mail away. Rock n Roll is renamed Ton-Uo and replaces Cover-Girl as the Wolverine Driver. A grey Short Fuze is named Moondancer and pilots the Triad fighter. A Grey Zap is renamed Dolphin and pilots the Sea Lion. 1987 starts with the US 1985 toys www.yojoe.com/action/88/. Of the new for 85 figures we don't get Torch. We also get Destro, Cobra and Stormshadow carried forward from previous years 1988 is the US 1986 toys. www.yojoe.com/action/86/ Lowlight misses out 1989 is the the US 1987 and some 88 toys. www.yojoe.com/action/87/ & www.yojoe.com/action/8/ From 1987 Chuckles, Crystal Ball & Sneak Peak miss out. Renegades & Battle Force 2000 are single carded in 1990. Cobra-La not distributed in the UK 1990 is the rest of the US 1988 toys www.yojoe.com/action/88/ we get the entire standard US 88 range over the two years. We don't get Night Force. From Tigerforce we miss out on Flint, Dusty & Bazooka, all of which's original versions were out in 1988. We get Duke, Roadblack & Tripwire, who've not been in the 1987+ Action Force line, Lifeline who has, and new Tigerforce members Outback & Psyche Out not available in the US 1991 all the main US 89 lineup. www.yojoe.com/action/89/ Marauders Lowlight, recoloured Marauders Spirit and Mutt, all of whose originals are missing in the 1987+ Action Force line. No Python Patrol, No Nightforce. The two added Tiger Force figures Outback & Psyche Out mare carried forward and are joined by new figures Blizzard, Hit n Run, Sneak Peak (UK debut for the character) and Tunnel Rat all of which aren't in the US Tigerforce 1992 all of US 90 www.yojoe.com/action/90/1993 is the US 91 line up www.yojoe.com/action/91/ These introduce new missile launching accessories and some of these appear recoloured with carried over US 1990 figures 1994 is the US 92 line up minus the DEF figures. www.yojoe.com/action/92/1994 appears to be the last of the regular UK/Euro GI Joes though I know fro 1993 we got Mega Marines and Steel Brigade, probably during 1994. I know US 92's Ninja Force came out here but I don't think 93's did. I've got cardback and catalogue scans to support most of this Apologies Phil, I somehow missed this post entirely! This certainly makes a lot of sense, and explains why I had some of the toys I had growing up. Jonathan |

Maybe the gas cylinders and hose mounted on his back are for dry ice, and the techy readout projecting from his forearm is just a playlist, who knows?

Managed to get in a preorder for Iron Grenadier and Alpine, they both look great.
With Alpine I’ll just be missing Airtight and Footloose from my main collecting goal for Classified.

Been a while since I updated my list! I saw last night that Footloose is in the pipeline, so it's all tantalisingly close. 1. Footloose 2. Dusty3. Cobra4. Snow serpent 5. Flint6. Lady Jaye7. Storm shadow8. Eel9. Barbecue10. Bazooka11. Crimson guard12. Tele-viper13. Airtight 14. Snake Eyes plus timber15. Ripper16. Buzzer17. Shipwreck18. Alpine 19. Destro20. Quick KickI'm not just sticking to this list, so a few other recent-ish acquisitions are Shockwave, who I found mildly disappointing and it's harder to have empathy for a militarised urban police officer these days, which is a shame as he was a childhood favourite, Nightforce Jodie "Shooter" Craig, who I just thought looked kind of cool, Agent Helix, ditto, Metalhead, who I have some slight attachment to as his first appearance was in the first US-format GI Joe comic I bought, and a pair of Techno Vipers, another childhood favourite and I think a great design. |

Iron Grenadier BAT up this evening. Nice to see Pulse limiting items to one per customer and giving people more of a chance. At three per customer the obvious troopbuilder today sold out quickly.

The VAMP arrived, just in time for my birthday!
Managed to have a bit of a play this afternoon. It’s very nice. Big, chunky, heavy, vehicle with proper rolling wheels and even suspension. Only slight shame is that the wheels don’t turn, but that’s a minor quibble.
The whole set feels very high quality, proportionally much more so than the RAM cycle, and the Clutch figure is excellent.

They’re doing the CLAW! That makes me happy. Fond memories of the original release in the old Palitoy box. I remember the toy department of our local Co-op department store having stacks of that.
Ordered Raptor. The sniper looks good as well.

No, I think it looks awful and I don't remember it being in the Marvel comics. I am looking forward to buying the regular retro card-backed Cobra Commander though, when it appears on eBay. Martin |
