"Streaming."

On the Fwoosh the other day, and in the discussion of the upcoming Rom figure, someone mentioned G.I. Joe's Duke making an appearance in an issue of Spider-Man. That's Amazing #268, and about the only time Marvel tried integrating the Joes. Still, being reminded of that might've been an excuse to dig up General Hawk, Grunt, and...a third Joe. (Oh, all right; it's Falcon, who was in a two-pack with Quarrel and briefly marked down at Wal-Mart.) I was going to say Hawk was one of the few Joes I've bought at (close to) regular price, but it's probably 25% regular, 75% seriously discounted; and I'm only buying Joes, no COBRA!

Hell yeah! GOOOO JOEEEE! Nice to see you put some of those Joe figures you bought to good use.
I definitely miss when them, Transformers & all those other properties were apart of Marvel. Good times.

Wait, who called in the Joes? I think very few of these people are on good terms with (let alone want to get involved with) the military. So far no one’s been allowed to leave except for maybe Radioactive Man (I’d need to check the crowd shots to be sure) and he ain’t calling them.

I'll be honest, people are just showing up at this point! Actually, several people we've seen are probably on assorted watchlists, and when they all show up at the same crummy bar, red flags go up.

I’m pretty sure it was the same person that snitched on Luigi 🤷‍♂️

Hmm, I have a bunch of civilian figures, and of course a bunch of villains; but I don't have snitch/class traitor figures. I don't think that snitch even got their 30 pieces of silver.

Unrelatedly, the concept of jury nullification is inherently interesting; if anyone wants to read all about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification

This REALLY shouldn’t be a thing!
