Just to echo what others have said --

I'm a comics freak so I'm well into the DDP stuff; even if I don't like all the creative decisions I still follow it as the GI Joe continuity canon. And the current World War III storyline has me stoked.

25th would have me if the mid-torso joints looked properly attached instead of the figure-8 look most have (Serpentor and Zartan seem OK; apparently body armour is necessary to save them) and, most importantly, if they actually were at a 3.75" scale. That said, I do feel like I have all the figures already -- I miss the updated costumes and new characters, and I'm sad we're not likely to see more DDP-design figures any time soon, if at all. The stuff from MasterCollector, though, I really do like a lot. The only problem for me is the price; bad enough it's basically $20 per figure for the smaller sets and over $200 for the main Con boxes, but the Club charges truly extortionate fees for international membership that are way above the cost of mailing 4 newsletters and a figure.

It basically is JoeDios that keeps my interest up. I have all these toys lying around and taking up storage space, but my collection is validated by coming on here and getting inspired to do something with them now I'm all old & grown up without the imaination to just play like I used to!
