Yesterday I got Slice and Jinx and am very pleased with what they did besides the fact that Slice is Action Attack  , but I'm sure they will fix him up in the future as they will with Storm Shadow. I personally love the Slice design and think that Jinx is solid, did you get any of these guys yet? |

Unfortunately I haven't come across Slice or Jinx yet. My local Targets and Walmarts are now just getting the VvV wave 3's in so hopefully soon. Those two are the ones I'm most interested in thus far. What's your opinion of the Jinx figure? It looks very cool but to me she looks more like a samurai than ninja in this uniform. Also, does her blindfold work good?

Also, does her blindfold work good? Yeah the blindfold seems to hold well for now, and yes she her look does favor the Samurai in a way but I like it. The only thing I don't like about her is that her waist piece is alittle oversized for her and that this sculpter seems to make the women really small. |

I also forgot to mention that I got the Cobra Strike Force at TRU which came with two Ninjas Storm Shadow and Night Creeper V1 both repainted. I like the Night Creeper's colors except for his brown gloves as for the Storm Shadow I really didn't care for it cause it's been done to death with repaints, why can't they use the V2 Storm Shadow mold instead of this one all the time?  |

Wow, I'll have to stop by my local TRU to check these out. I just took a look at them over at yojoe.com , very cool. I too am not too crazy about the brown gloves, they even look worse on Firefly. Glad to see Scrap Iron again though, he was one of my non-ninja GIJoe favorites from way back. |

I went back to Target yesterday and luckly they restocked on more of the new joes so I picked up doubles and spent over 50 bucks in joes there, after that I decided to check out my local old toy store which is close to Target and got some old ARAH joes 20 in total for 2 bucks apiece which could turnout great for custom fodder.

I just picked up Spy Troops the movie on Sunday for 5 bucks at TRU and watched it for the first time. I really enjoyed it I found that most of the voices on Cobras side were done great except for Dr. Mindbender. The best parts for me were the Ninja fights between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, I really didn't like that Storm Shadow only had acouple of hits but overall he didn't lose.  Did you see it or have it? PS - For 5 bucks I recommend getting it. |

I'm curious, how long is this movie and is it computer animated? |

Yes it's computer animated and about 45 minutes long, definitely worth getting for 5 bucks!

Well I FINALLY bought the Cobra Slice/Jinx figures. I think they look pretty good, better than I had expected. Both still look way more samurai-like than that of a ninja. I'm still hoping for a DD version of Jinx. The only thing I disliked is the plastic quality, too soft and Slice's head is just barely teetering on his shoulders. I'll have to handle him like I would with fine bone china. The detail work is excellent though. BTW, I also picked up an Electric Eel/Tunnel Rat too, mainly because Eel is so wacky looking . |

That's it? I get everything they put out on figures and doubles or triples at least! Did you ever get the Spy Troops Night Creeper? cause I got over 15 of those guys!!! ;D |

I've been trying to get a set of the Strike Force Night Creepers but they keep going over what I'm willing to pay for them.

I plan on getting the GI Joe Venom vs Valor movie tomorrow at TRU, I heard it was like 15 bucks with a free 2-pack of joes.
