Hasbro has revealed some pictures made in a computer that resemble toys! So naturally we discuss them. At length… Plus we speculate what other vehicles we might see from Super7's ReAction line after we got a dog sled and an old guy. In case you missed it, here's the recording of the Hasbro stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySgZfE6f12M Link to 3DJoes’ Art Of GI Joe Kickstarter: https://youtu....
