TRU has Joe figs for 2 for $10.99 this week, time to use the free $10.00 gift card from 2 for $9.99 special.

I picked up:
ROC Firefly (Resolute?) very nice figure!
Ice Viper - excellent! Limited artic, but looks great!

swung by Ross looking for the elusive discounted #5 DVD 5-pack, found TRU 3 packs of Ace, Wild Bill & Starduster and Deep Six, Wetsuit & Cutter for $7.99.

Picked up the second set -
Deep Six - - total loss
Wetsuit - holding out for 7 pack Wet Suit, great colors for a Joe frogman (Depthcharge?)
Cutter - yeah, he's a Gung-Ho combo repaint, but I need him for my restored WHALE!

ROC Para-Viper

Note: this paraviper is almost the same as the earlier 25th style, but as you all can see of the many photos out there, it's mostly black, with dark grey, and some dark red highlights. But the differences are a bit more. Firstly the hoses are silver, yet when you remove them (as I was doing), you can see they are molded from a ruby-red transparent plastic. It should be interesting to see a custom paraviper with ruby red hoses.

The padding on the elbows seem to be of a slightly softer plastic than the previous version. The goggles on the helmet is of a more translucent paint, and also ruby-red. The ammo clips on the leg, above the knife is the only real con.. it kinda gets in the way of the knife if you want to fully straighten the leg. The previous paraviper had the clips on the other leg. There is a hole through the chute right through the cobra sigil, which I don't like. But it's there and I suspect that the spring-rocket shooter (which resembles some sort of flying assisting machine) can attach there. There's a very very long peg that seems to fit into the hole.

The spring-rocket shooter thing looks good without the projectile. There's a helicopter style mini-blade that fits into a hole in the shooter, and it rotates freely. With the extra long peg and the hole in the backpack, it makes me suspect that this paraviper uses the shooter as some sort of flying assisting machine, as mentioned above. The helicoper blade doesn't make sense--too small--but the shooter kinda looks like an aerodynamic rocket pack. But I haven't figured how the figure is supposed to grab the handle bars.

Well, I finally found a Helix today, so my R.O.C. purchases are at an end... for now.

Greetings all ye mortals!

TRU has some sticky Cobra and Joe (ARAH) logos for sale for about $5. They stick pretty good, and are removeable. Drove home with a Cobra sigil on my car. Bought two of them, now two of my laptops have the Cobra sigil.

Found them in the game console section where you can find skins for game controlers.
