Polar Battle Bear on Friday?

>>11589502 (OP)
Is she actually going up today or was that a rumor?

>>11589526
She goes up at 1pm est in 15 minutes

>Ghost pepper is sold out on Walmart and Pulse

What now? I'm kind of new to the hobby, is it Joever?

Got her, but I'm gonna be honest, she doesn't look all that great. Cape looks bad, waist cut makes her look lumpy, and all the gimmick hands look shitty too.

>>11589583
More so the premium only caveat as well.

>>11589526
Yes but you have to be a Pulse premium member to pre-order

>>11589563
Check locally.

>>11589509
Probably because tomorrow is their big "action brand" day.

Mezco just dropped new Joes apparently in 12"

Source of pics is Toyark

Canadian Army. His First Aid kit contains maple syrup

>>11589583
$48 WHY exactly? Hasbro needs a new yacht?

Nice linking the new thread faggot

>>11589795
>>11580198

There you go. Happy now?

>>11589796
You didn't do it. Fagguette

I’m still surprised Hasbro doesn’t release a lot of Classified repaints. Seems like easy money. Scarlett seems to be the only mold they go all in on.

Snake Eyes > Cobra Mortal
Storm Shadow > Satan > Ninjaku
Stalker > Jammer
Gung-Ho > Gaucho
Tripwire > SAS Blades
Big Boa > Kangar

Looks great

>>11589810
They save stuff like that to throw in vehicles and 2-packs.

>>11589810
>Seems like easy money
There's a lot of people who couldn't afford the Rattler or even the $150 going price for Rattler Baroness who are hoping for that light-blue repaint. Plus "ninja vipers" that were just Storm Shadow in a different color. They don't seem to be re-using molds as often as I figured they would Beyond Scarlett and the first Baroness.

>>11589805
Next time around when this one's auto-saging YOU start the next one. OK?

Got the Ghost Viper and Pythona, my watch has ended.

>>11589810
>>11589824
Cobra Mortal is a pretty good “evil Snake Eyes.” I’m surprised he doesn’t show up more in fiction.

Especially when other franchises have shattered glass, nemesis prime, Toxitron, Faker, Slime Pit He-Man, Anti-Eternal He-Man, etc.

>>11589855
I agree. Hasbro could be making more money off of reusing the molds more often.

I'm still seething about not getting Python Patrol Valkyries before they put that subline on ice.

So ghost was just hasbro and Walmart?

>>11589863
Are we sure Python Patrol is over?

>>11589878
No one ever asks that braintrust of dummies that serve as the face of the brand anything about it whenever they're at events, so I don't know of any official statement
But the last Python Patrol stuff that came out was Copperhead, the Trubble Bubble, and the second trooper all at once back in fall 2023.

>>11589872
Correct

>>11589893
Fagguette shit

>>11589887
PP and TF were Target exclusive lines anyway. May be that that is just a deal that is over with at this point.

>>11589855
That design looks awful. Why a single bright red leg and arm?? Not even on the same side, not a good asymmetrical look

>>11589896
Breaker and the Diver 2-Pack are Target Exclusive

>>11589887
So these Classified sublines are only tackling the original domestic 1982-1994?
Because they did Tiger Force Outback which was an international release. And they added a Python Patrol B.A.T.

So why not have Python Patrol Major Bludd, SAW Viper, Trigger (ripcord mold), Lightning (airborne mold), and Croc Master?

>>11589589
Wait -only- premium buyers can get her?

>>11589899
What's your point? It isn't like PP/TF are the ONLY Target exclusives or anything. They also had the Cobra Island stuff before PP/TF.

>>11589901
Yes.
In the past, premium got to buy the product an hour earlier than everyone else.
This time, the premium window is almost a month long.

>>11589902
I doubt the deal with Target is renewed per sub-line. Half the Walmart exclusives aren't even part of a subline.

>>11589895
>>11589777
Is this a new word filter

>>11589716
Wish the neutral face was the one with the helmet. He's going to look out of place with all the other Joes, except Mutt.

>>11589925
Just shove a bunch of homemade cigars into it

>>11589903
dear god just how bad are things at Hasbro now?

>>11589932
They're probably doing alright at least for the Joes. They're just going with a month-long exclusive probably because they hope to motivate more people paying to be premium members.

>>11589906
Well, probably not, but it is no secret that the PP and TF figures were mostly left with lukewarm reception, and pretty much all of the figures were bargain-bin fodder. They might have just not wanted to order any more product that wasn't exactly flying off the shelves.

>>11589941
I think its a month long because She's the fall cons exclusive, not just the nycc one. So she's not going up for general release till the cons are all done.

>>11589855
>>11589898
For me it's the White Cobra Mortal

>>11589947
I never considered that obvious answer
I think they should state this publicly as we're just as stupid as we think they are.

>>11589107
Oh shit, I'm there. I've been slowly building a "Lazy" Cobra Trooper Cosplay outfit, mostly blue clothes with a Cobra T-shirt and hat, but this year I'm going that extra step of thowing on Web Gear and the red mask. Hopefully I have the stuff by Saturday because it would be perfect for the concert.

>>11589855
This needs to happen in Classified now that they have that Classic Cartoon Snake-Eyes build.

>>11589859
....it's honestly kind of absurd for us to be *wanting* more repaints from Hasbro when most of their other fandoms complain about *too many* repaints. But yes, I want more obscure character repaints from Hasbro in Classified, especially if they're done similar to how they handled the Quarrel repaint.

>>11589947
That seems to be the most likely reason, isn't Pulsecon right around the corner? Probably want to encourage people to buy her from NYCC then Pulsecon first. I'll be there this weekend, so I plan to hit up the Hasbro booth, but I dunno if I'll bite on any of the exclusives this year. None of em are really must haves for me, and budget is sadly tight this go around.

But I'm still excited to see em back and wish I was going during one of the days they had their panels.

>captcha ssyth

....even Captcha is working for Cobra

>>11589984
I want Mara. Repaint Rattler Pilot's flightsuit and skin color, and there you are.

>>11589989
The more female Cobra the better.

ghost is already 100 bucks on ebay

>>11590099
If it follows the trend of all the recent walmart shit and the restocks, it shouldn't be THAT hard to find in the wild, and people have been spotting in stores since the weekend

>>11590099
He's back up on Pulse right now.

>>11590110
Thanks bro!

>>11589989
I have a feeling we’ll get her once Hydro-Viper comes out. Then she’ll be released as Hydro-Viper Commander

Wish these came out like four years ago when it would have been $34 because with this many options I kinda want five

>>11590162
Buy some Python Patrol Vipers to swap parts onto and use the Ghost as the team leader?

Is this basically the same product as Snake Eyes with the polar bear or is this gonna be the new price for anyone with an animal

>>11590162
They would have never been $35. Even the old Snake Eyes and Timber set that came out years ago was $45. And that didn't have nearly the parts that this does.

Definitely stings for it to be a $55 army builder. At least there are a lot of options, and you really probably can just use the extra parts on other figures as well.

>>11590164
I wish it came with more monster hands so you could put the extra monster head and hands on like a Cobra Trooper or something

>>11590168
>They would have never been $35
Croc Master with his croc was $30 at launch

>>11590172
That reminds me I just realized this >>11589820 should have came with tiny scorpions like Croc Master came with gator babies

>>11590172
Pretty sure he was $40, but they still didn't come with this much stuff.

>>11590180
Feel bad knowing I missed out when he went under $20.
I wanna army build his pets God dammit

Since Mad Marauders Sgt. Slaughter is constantly going on clearance how long do you think I have to wait for this to get more reasonable so I can get a Mercer for my Iron Grenadiers

>>11589502 (OP)
Why do you keep making new threads? There are now 3 gi joe threads

>>11590207
they're both at bump limit so get over it, you 3.75 inch lil dick loser

>>11589782
It's 100 you have to pay premium also.

>>11589502 (OP)
>Pythona has the biggest boobs in a Classified female figure yet
>She's also ugly
What did Hasbro mean by that?

>>11590252
>bump limit
So? It’s a slow board the thread from 2 threads ago is still active. There is zero reason for this thread you insufferable faggot

Hasbro's possibly bringing back Modern Era Joes as expensive exclusives. They're currently doing an entire wave of 3.75 inch Tron figures as a bullshit Haslab exclusive as part of what Hasbro is claiming is the future for 3.75 figures.

>>11590334
dead scale

>>11590334
I'd don't want this. I do want all 4in or oring to have marauder or joy toy articulation.

>>11590334
Is it 3.75 or is it 1:18 (4")?

Big difference in whether i would want that shit or not.

>>11589716
>>11589716
Getting this for alt Glen Danzig head.

>>11589502 (OP)
Imagine her giving you a slimy handjob haha

>>11590352
Most likely 4 inch. These are the Tron figures. They're forcing people to buy the entire wave plus two lightcycles for $260 all in one go. They also want at least 10,000 backers just produce them.

>>11590363
Trying to figure out why this cost so fucking much and then I remembered Tron is Disney

>>11590368
I suspect even if it were Joe, they would still want us to pay $30 a figure and pocket the extra money from not paying for a license.

>>11590375
Hm, maybe, what do you >>11589947 think?

>>11590363
>want at least 10,000 backers just produce them.
Because they want to ensure there's at minimum that many people who care about the original Tron before dumping finances into making toys of em.

Personally, I question if there's even half that many people interested in this franchise as a whole. Though I guess that short live cartoon disney killed off seemed to be popular for a bit.

>>11590368
It's an LED backdrop, five figures with actor's licenses and two vehicles with accessories. I won't say $260 isn't expensive, but it's at least $200 worth of stuff. So yea, extra $60 is probably the Disney tax.

>>11590395
For the original Tron, Yes there's 10,000. Whether they would want to dump $260 on something that really should be sold individually is another story.

>>11590405
But they don't want to produce it individually because this is another licensor mandated Haslab like the black woman lightsaber or Cookie monster at the same time as Unicron

>>11590410
The thing is, people would buy a couple figures if they were sold individually even if they wanted some crazy price for it, but $260 is something that only a very die hard fan would pay-- it's honestly needlessly cruel since the original is the most popular and this line's gonna be dead on arrival.

Gotta respect the hustle and Jewry, thanks Hasbro. Nice free shipping ya' got there for us Pulse Premium Members(TM)

>>11590435
I would hope this jewery would get you next day shipping.

>>11590474
Standard and Hasbro rolls a dice on who the carrier is. You might get FedEx, you might get DHL. Nobody knows.

>>11590334
Hasbro handed out that scale of Joes to two different companies (Hiya and Reaction), so I doubt that they'll do that for Joes unless they're planning on large Haslab vehicles that are too big for the larger figures like they did for the Skystriker.

>>11590395
Tron definitely has a fan base that's been there a long time. This shit's just expensive though. It's a shame. I really wanted to finally get a Yori.

>>11590424
People would buy the entire set if sold separately because at that size each figure wuldn't be any more than $20. That's $100 at retail. Plus the lightcycles.

>>11590435
You're paying the "get it before the common collector gets it" price.

Today's the day of the Joe panel. Hopefully there'll be some good new reveals.

>>11590504
FedEx
FUCK NO!

>Bandai is making a chogokin (diecast) Metal Gear Rex
>$360
>no figures even though the amrket is screaming for 6" MGS figures
Damn.

>jack up the price of the Ghost Viper
>it sells out anyway
That kind of shit is not going to discourage Hasbro from raising prices, people.

>>11590332
1. then don't come here

2. auto-saged boards still here are a testament to how much things have slowed down. But they're still auto-saged and I don't know why. /v/ has topics that'll gather 400+ replies without auto-saging.

>>11590667
Polar Battle Bear and new female arctic Joe?

>>11590699
Hopefully yeah. When considering this vague shit I am hoping for a lot of new reveals today.

>>11589716
Gonna have to peel that undersized helmet off and replace it, but otherwise he's alright.

What time is the G.I.Joe panel eastern standard time?

>>11590764
An hour and 5 minutes from now.
11:00am EST-12pm

>>11590769
That's 30 minutes from now. Have a link to a livestream?

>>11590801
No but if you don’t, everything will be posted online as soon as the panel ends at noon.

>>11590769
Though not live, the stream will be run from noon to 1pm on Pulse

>>11590812
Please don't let her be in it. Her crap of "I LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT HINK IT'S COOL" is retarded, she wasn't even born when the Joes were first out, and she clearly doesn't have the love of them like others do. The sad part is this checkbox-hire is the brand manager, and is no doubt responsible for every ugly-faced flat-chested female figure we got. And she's everyone's boss in the Joe division.

>>11590815
She’s the one that pushed for more figures with pets. Plus she pushed for Pythona to be made.

>>11590858
So she pushed for higher-priced figures with novelty giant scorpions? Got it.

>>11589502 (OP)
Wake me when they finally get to Golobulus

>>11590865
Next San Diego Con probably.

>>11590867
I could see him being a Haslab, especially if they include that weird alien pod thing he floats around in for most of the movie

>>11590870
Nope. Deluxe exclusive

>>11590865
Logistic nightmare with trying to do an articulated snake tail that doesn't look too visually "mechanical" with all the articulation points. I totally get why this one's been on the back burner. The original one looks like something your little sister would steal to go play with.

G.I.Joe part just started

>>11590876
Will 15 minutes be enough?

>>11590815
Why is the camera on them? Like 80% of the screen is two normal looking people shouldn't the camera be on the toys, the reason people watch this?

>>11590880
Depends on how much they have to reveal. I'm hoping that it's a lot.

Royal Guard revealed.
Arctic HISS revealed

>>11590890
Nice screenshots, very cool.

>>11590890
Normal Crazylegs
Female Crimson Guard
Zap

>>11590890
No screengrab pics?

>>11590894
Name only reveals

Arctic HISS and Royal Guard shown. The others are name only reveals.

>>11590896
That sucks. They couldn't do mock-ups? If they're that far along then they surely have concept protptypes or test shots to show. Any release dates being given?

>>11590893
>Female Crimson Guard
I hope it comes with a Lady Jaye head for the "Gods Below" episode. And stop making females so flat-chested. That's so unrealistic, and even sexist to mutilate the depiction of women so they don't offend.

>>11590898
Arctic HISS and Royal Guard are shown.

Hit&Run, Big Lob, Night Viper and Lifeline go on pre-Order October 14th at 1pm

Name only reveals: Zap, female Crimson Guard, Crazylegs in original colors.

>>11590901
Will the HISS be a HASLAB like the first one was? Any price on it?

>>11590898
Remember that Hit & Run, Big Lob, Night-Viper and Lifeline were already the render reveals this week.

>>11590902
Made to Order

>>11590905
In other words, it'll be expensive.

No mention of the Polar Battle Bear?

>>11590894
They showed pictures of the figures that had been revealed already.
Then Arctic Hiss and Royal Guard got simple render reveals.
Others were name with stock image only.

>>11590907
It turned out to be the Arctic H.I.S.S. instead.

>>11590903
Yeah why'd they do that? I miss the old days when they'd dump a shit load of reveals at events instead of drip feeding a few things every month or two.

>>11590917
Driver come with it?

>>11590908
>Hasbro did/is doing Big Lob, Pythona, Royal Guard
>reaction+ also did those plus Snake eyes and Destro in winter jackets from the movie

Well there's one more left to do to make it complete.

>>11590918
It seems like toy-makers are happy with limiting reveals to what's coming in the next month or two. Fuck the prices and those who have to financially plan for all of this.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r18Qlx6D-wc&pp=ygULTnljYyBoYXNicm8%3D

>>11590921
Good times

Calling it now.
San Diego Comic Con 2026 Golobulus Exckusive.

>>11590917
It looks alright, and assuming it comes with cool figures will be a nice counter-point to the Snowcat. So they're not displaying future release figures this time like they used to?

Royal Guard is swoll as fuck.

Arctic HISS will on display at the booth starting this afternoon

>>11590955
Why do they put so much effort on the crazy shit like this, but the actual Joes and Cobras get shafted with horrible re-used weapons and gear?

This thing would look cool fighting the Guyver.

>>11590892
Out of the all OC’s that Larry Hama created in the beginning for the comic (so he could them off without toy restrictions) like Dr Venom, Kwinn, Scarface, General Flagg, what made the Baroness stand out so much that the cartoon used her and Hasbro then made a figure of her?

>>11590967
Because Cobra-La has always been based

Death to 1:12
Death to cobra-la bullshit

>>11590994
Keep crying. Golobulus will be out this time next year and they'll probably make civvie Cobra Commander and the dumb crab motorcycle with a female Cobra La guard or something

>>11590983
>We're going to hold back showing off the driver so that we have something to reveal at the next con
>puts the driver in the display case anyway

>>11591001
Hopefully it’s the cute Cobra La female from Void Rivals that works for Pythona.

>>11591006
Arctic Track Viper?

>>11591009
Pretty sure its just a snow serpent with black gear instead of blue and a white hiss driver head. Visor is all wrong for a Track Viper.

>>11591019
There was an artic hiss tank in 2009. Its driver had a hiss driver head, snake eye's body, and snow serpents gloves. Looked a lot like this one

>>11590983
>>11590983
>>11591006
Not gonna lie. DO WANT. I just hope it doesn't have an insane pricing. It's a shame that the polar battle bear rumor turned out to be just a rumor.

>>11590978
Between this and all the Chinese bug kaijin, Kamen Rider fans looking for baddies are eatin' good.

>>11589502 (OP)
So the summary is:
>the only new reveal is the arctic HISS
>no mention of a rumored return to O-ring Joes or PBB
>three new figures mentioned (Zap, female Crimson Guard, and Crazy Legs) but not shown
>the only things shown to the public besides the arctic HISS are stuff already revealed.

Well it's not as bad as Reacton+ with not showing you shit until a few days before their release, but I'd appreciate some more long-term stuff shown.

>>11591043
Renders of Royal Guard are new

>>11591043
Nobody fucking cares about o-rings, autist
Everyone is hype over the Royal Guard, which was new, and you're gay

>>11591059
>nobody likes anything except what I like
Fuck off, Michael

>>11590917
oh baby, HISS tank made to order means it opens up a Septic Tank possibility in the future.

>>11590955
>>11590972
The 5 part mini-series of the movie hosted by Sarge is a core memory of mine, and I'll always see it as the classic GI Joe even while growing up with the 90s DiC joes. Hasbro going all in on movie characters pleases me.Hope all the older joe fans are turned off from this so they end up at ROSS and Ollies for me to amass an army.

>>11591061
No, retard.
Nobody likes what you like.

>>11590955
can’t wait to not be able to buy this because they think cobra la has to be a bullshit exclusive

>>11591059
o-ring is based

>>11591078
They're not any kind of exclusive.
They specifically mentioned that.

>>11591059
>>11591073

I like O-ring, it's been around from 1982 thru 2010 at least and was the most collected line of G.I. Joe. Stop being a troll, stop shitposting and telling other collectors what they should like and should talk about, especially if you're new to the brand and only care about whatever the "current thing" is. It's very irritating newfags policing oldfags telling them about what they need to collect.

>>11591073
My last buy was an O-ring BAT.

But you're getting needlessly hostile at someone liking something different than you, so let me guess: you're that guy who went into meltdown because a lot of people liked the new version of Crystal Ball?

You really need to stop taking different opinions personally. Someone liking something you don't is not a personal attack on you, so why don't you stop being so hostile to any post you disagree with?

>>11591142
>stop
not until you autists stop bitching about how these classified streams don't have a dedicated o-ring news (lmao) segement

>>11591151
You're a miserable ass who comes here just to start fights over any tiny little excuse. Just fuck off.

>>11591154
no, you've described the guy who was not only incorrect when he whined about nothing "new" being shown besides the Arctic HISS, but also apropos of nothing whined about no o-rings being shown

Hmmm maybe

Does anyone know why Night Creeper Leader wasn’t a toy in the 1990 line up?

>>11591189
Because they didn't come up with the "character" until a few years after his troops?

>>11590692
Im sure if the eight people posting here who bought it decided not to it would have really taught Hasbro a lesson

>>11590967
You answered your own question. Crazy shit is easy to go all out with
Normal Joe's and Cobra dont need the extra effort to sell also compared to what was considered one of the main jokes of the franchise

>>11591043
I thought the confirmed production of HISS reuse was actually a big deal but I guess its just basically on the same level as when Jinx was revealed

What animal is this gonna be attached to

>>11591207
I think it is. That means there's hope for a non-Haslab Dragonfly and Rattler in alt colors. Lose the lights package, the "firing effects," and other shit, and they could be re-done somewhat reasonably. And Hasbro really needs to start thinking about bringing down prices instead of shoving mroe shit into boxes to raise the price.

>>11591156
>>11591195
Now I remember why I was hiding your posts before. Bye. Life's too short to be dealing with miserable assholes who want to shit on fun and enjoyable hobbies.

>>11591212
Emily

>>11591212
well we have the Bobcat called Max, and Dusty's Coyote Sandstorm.

>>11591221
Im just gonna assume you responded to the wrong person cause the guy saying we should have bought the Ghost Viper to teach Hasbro a lesson like a Retroblasting video was more shitting on the hobby than me making fun of him

>>11591212
I'd like it to either be D.E.F. Mutt and Junkyard, or Eel version 2 with Robo-shark. Could be Spearhead and Max or Dusty and Sandstorm. There was also an unproduced Arctic Scarlett awhile back who was supposed to come with a pet sabertooth tiger.

>>11591232
Hey that first one's owner was based on King's son and they made Crystal ball so that seems likely.

>>11591240
>GI Joe Pet Brigade
All of this stuff's just to pad out a bigger box with a higher retail price on it. Give me a smaller box with a really bad-ass figure in it. I won't be too heart-broken over not getting Undertow and his pet fish in Classified form.

>>11591212
Night Adder and his Dawg

>>11591212
likely a cat or bear

>>11591212
A studded collar can only mean one thing...........

>>11589855
snake eyes is secretly pepsi man?

>>11591246
Nobody listen to this anon because I want that

>>11591207
I believe they said early on that they couldn't and/or wouldn't reuse Haslabs for 3 years after the initial release.
This obviously doesn't include the figures, or parts of the figures, or accessories from those figures, but in terms of the HISS itself, it's been 3 years.
I don't imagine they'll be as quick to do the same thing with the Dragonfly or Rattler, though. The HISS is just more versatile.

>>11591212
Finback with Deep Six

>>11591193
He was in the 1990 cartoon season though.

>>11591246
lol, the articulated animals are probably one of the better parts of this line.

>>11591246
Couldn't disagree with this more
Bring on the articulated fish

Is there anyone who could come with a giant spider or lobster

>>11590875
If the Marvel line just did Shuma-Gorath with articulated tentacles, Classified Golobulus shouldn't be too much of a problem.

>>11590972
Awesome, I love it.

>>11590395
>Personally, I question if there's even half that many people interested in this franchise as a whole.
You're dumb, dude.
The fucking BLACK HOLE toys sold in the tens of thousands and multiple companies released toys for its Anniversary in different scales.

There's probably 10 million people who are interested in the Tron franchise and maybe a couple hundred thousand who want to buy toys.
Whether they're willing to preorder toys that won't be released until a year from now at $35 per figure PLUS $60 motorcycles and only if you buy them as a set... well, that's another story.

>>11591322
This is what I want most of all even its gonna be something like one of these >>11591232

>>11591212
It's gonna be another small animal because of the size of the handle I assume
No $75 war giraffe this time fellas

>>11590980
This was really early in the line, Cobra Commander, Destro and Major Bludd were the only Cobra characters who existed as toys at the time the first cartoon miniseries was made, and you've got eyes, you know exactly what made the Baroness stand out more than any other potential options they could've used to give Cobra more characters.

Kwinn originally appeared to just be a one-off merc in the second issue of the comic. By the time he made a second appearance, and by the time Dr Venom and Scar-Face made their comic debuts, it was well into 1983, and the first cartoon miniseries was probably already in development.

All three of Kwinn, Scar-Face and Dr Venom were killed in the January 1984 comic issue, and the 1984 cartoon miniseries Revenge of Cobra had plenty of new toy Cobra characters to introduce instead (it introduces Zartan, Storm Shadow, Firefly, Scrap-Iron and the Dreadnoks). Scar-Face was basically just a Cobra Officer anyway, and as has been noted here a number of times, Hasbro probably weren't that interested in making a Dr Venom figure as he wasn't a particularly toyetic design.

>>11591408
cobra la as a kingdom was 80% giant crustaceans and other things pretending to be pillars and mountains

>>11591006

>>11591610
guys who dress up like retards and have reptile codenames still count as lizard people, anon

>>11591610
Because you're not the only one who collects this line.

>>11591610
they've made what? 3 cobra-la figures in 5 years now? i think you'll be fine

>>11591610
Did you just wake up after like 40 years or are you just retarded

>>11591637
It's like sometimes it needs to be stated out loud that nobody has to buy every figure in the line, nobody has to like every figure in the line. GI Joe is versatile enough that you can do anything from "somewhat realistic military vs terrorists" to the crazy fantasy stuff like snake people and dog ghosts, and everything in between. The people who only want fairly realistic stuff are still being well catered for.

>>11591637
>>11591714
What's funniest is that so far, the Cobra-LA figures have all been exclusives that have pretty much sold out instantly anyway. Even if you don't like them, it isn't like they're plaguing shelves, or even "taking slots" as people put it, in the main line.

They better give the Retro Release of this a fucking GIANT scope to make up for this

I'm already sick of the penis jokes

>>11591723
Night Viper actually looks better posed. At least the legs do.

Weeeh weeeeehh I'm a big baby I just want GI Joe to be men with pewpew guns and one bug man is triggering my autism weeeh weeeh

You WILL buy Big Lob

I wanted the SEPTIC HISS personally

Oh and someone wanted this instead of what the Classified version was right

>>11591741
That's such a weird fucking company

They make that but also these guys in the same scale who look like Robot Chicken characters

>>11591720
I can remember having a similar conversation here with someone complaining about the Cold Slither figures, and pointing out that they were just exclusives, and that doing something niche like that as an exclusive was a lot better than making major characters most fans are going to want an exclusive, like Serpentor, or paywalling popular characters like Wild Bill and Wild Weasel within a Haslab project, and that Baroness figure everyone wants.

>>11591731
>You WILL buy Big Lob
Damn right I will. Not sure I need a Mole Rat repaint with a scarier head, but I definitely want all the rest of this wave.

>>11591738
I hope you get your wish, anon. It's at least looking like a real possibility, there's a lot more room to milk the HISS mold for variations than with the Dragonfly or Rattler.

>>11591752
Cold Slither was the last (calling something the last that happened like four months ago) perfect exclusive. And by perfect I mean, it's fine if you skip it as most everyone has those characters already in their collection, and it was basically $25 per figure for four figures and a drum set that had as much plastic as a figure so it tricked your brain into accepting it.

I'm glad whoever is still taking the pictures for the line is telling little stories because I guess Big Lob has to fight zombies in a big basketball game

Not a joe collector but that royal guard is tempting, I saw the retro version of it recently and wished they did a modern tooling of it, then they went and did it. Neat

Haha, Big Lob that's kinda fucked up

Dunked too hard

>>11591610
What's your FUCKING PROBLEM

>>11591774
homie needs to cut back on the sodium
when you're that tall you can get a lot of the same health problems as a fat fuck even though you're thin
also being black wouldn't help with cardiovascular problems, either

The red light kinda makes it look like they fucked up the paint on his pouches

I'm unsure what's gonna shelf warm this time to be honest.

>>11591745
>>all but two female figures are on their phones

>>11591756
They can't break out some transparent purple plastic for a $30 figure with no BAF?

>>11591790
Why is Marvel Legends fan here

>>11591729
I always wanted the original because he was a mail in only. I'll get this one bc I never got the OG.

>>11591731
No pics of him next to another Joe for height comparison?

>>11591903
He was on store pegs for two years (1986 and 1987).

>>11592033
I wasn't born then.

>>11592122
Well, I was only 2 years old and in England.

>>11592033
I stole this from PissTank for ya, anon.

>>11591777
>racist and ableist
WOW

>>11592125
Thanks. He needs to be taller than regular figures so he can dunk on suckas talking smack about his momma.

>>11591790
They spent their annual transparent plastic budget on Ghost Viper

>>11592125
Its funny how Lenny made a big deal out of giving him basketball shoes instead of the combat boots he originally had, the same way they made a big deal out of giving Shooter sneakers too. Black Joes don't wear appropriate footware into combat I guess.

With female Crimson Guard jow, maybe later we’ll get other female troopers.

>>11592257
They already made the female Cobra "blue-shirts" sold in a 2-pack called "Valkyries." Plus the female Ferret driver, and HISS Gunner. There isn't a lot left within the limits of the vehicles they've released.

>>11592257
I want a female Viper.

>>11592295
I'm a fan of the original cartoon, so I want a female Crimson Guard and a better-than-what-we-got female blueshirt, both for Lady Jaye's sake.

>>11592171
I think their goal was to make him a walking stereotype with air jordans instead of boots, and a basketball. It's like they said "how can we make him as cliche as possible for a black Joe?" I liked the original character but I feel like they blew it with this figure because of those details.

The proportions are fucking awful here, what happened?

>>11592306
That's not Lifeline. That's fucking Jerry Lewis looking mad about something.

As far as the proportions go maybe they're sizing him as a manlet who's shorter? Who knows? It only took them five years to produce a female with good arm length/leg length/torso length proportions.

>>11591731
i dont like his head sculpt he looks so fucking old
wasn't he supposed to be a college b-ball player?

>>11592318
Look at Lifeline's face. Even Mainframe's face is hardly inspiring, and Sci-Fi's face is hardly nerd-looking as fitting the character, and instead looks like the kind of guy who used to beat up on nerds for the lols.

It's like the people they hired to do the awesome job on the sculpt of the three rattler figures went and quit on them.

>>11592327
Joes are always less consistent than Cobra.
the optional unmasked face plate thing that comes with Desert Scorpion is a better and more detailed face than any of those.

>>11592302
It’s not a stereotype if he’s the only black Joe that has it while all the others don’t.

>>11592302
It's only racist because you're gay.
Is it sexist that Cover Girl still dolls herself up before fixing a tank tread or whatever? Or is it because all the Joes are just showy idiots who live by their own gimmicks?

You know, it's not as gummy as that one review that was posted here a long time ago showed it was. Maybe it's just colder here while that guy bought his during Comic Con in July

The tiny gun that plugs in is a piece of shit though, but overall I like it.

>>11592764
Think it's possible to pop the Vamp wheels on there?

>>11592306
he looks like a shitty 25 anniversary new mold. I like the 25th line but a lot had this problem of long torso, short neck, tiny head, and gorilla arms

>>11592784
I think they can

>>11592738
Is it sexist that Hasbro mutilated the female figures so whiny femboys don't get offended? They only got one female figure's face right, and that's also the most expensive one that most won't have. And they're all damn near flat-chested, which is not only unrealistic but alsoa gainst the proportions the characters were depicted as having. The only exception is Pythona. They made her "proportions" correct, but the face is what it is. It was never intended to be attractive in the first place, so they get a pass on that one.

And yeah it's racist to depict someone stereotypically which they didn't do with Big Lob in the original movie but they're doing now. He's a soldier, and there are no hoops to dunk on the battlefield.

>>11589502 (OP)
>Joe versus Cobra divers (October 11)
They're out now. Saw them at Target yesterday.

Seriously Hasbro, get on to making this figure already. If it needs to be a con exclusive due to unique thigh sculpting, so be it.

>>11593030
we don't care about her
sorry

>>11593084
"We," or "you?" It's ok to have an opinion, but opinions never speak for anyone but themselves. I find the character interesting, especially after they gave her a unique identity instead of being a half-assed file card for a Baroness repaint. And outside of Baroness, Raven, and Zarana, Cobra didn't originally have a lot of named female characters. The comic books filled that gap nicely. So why not have another named female Cobra?

>>11593106
>taking a Hasbro joke this seriously
ok, now nobody really cares

>>11592978
The first Classified Baroness looked great.
Zarana looks great.
Shooter, Quarrel, Retro Cover Girl
I don't know what standard by which you're judging these faces, like if we argue for 3/4 more posts you're eventually going to post some anime figure as an example of a good looking female figure, but Classified has more hits than misses.
Maybe you're just bitter about not getting Rattler Baroness? She is one of the best looking 6 inch female figures ever made face-wise, but if you're just seething about that, I recommend getting a job or something.

>>11593203
>The first Classified Baroness looked great.
No it didn't.

>Zarana looks great.
Her cartoon face and disproportionally flat chest are both wrong for the character. But there is a whole lot to be said about that figure, which really is one of the best stand-out figures to me. Her high boots conceal the knee joints. Her shoulder pads conceal the shoulder joints. Her long gloves blend in the elbow joints. Her top conceals that otherwise-ugly torso joint. When you look at Zarana, she's one of the visually-cleanest figures in the whole line, and a top-5-best in terms of the quality of toy sculpting. But that face and flat chest.........

>>11593289
You know Crimson Baroness is the 4th fucking Baroness in the line, right? And that one specifically had three different faces to choose from.

>>11593298
Yeah, and all versions of her were ugly except the Rattler one. Some even have notches on their sides of their heads for the glasses.

>>11593300
Who cares?
The Rattler baroness is the only one you wouldn't want wearing glasses because they'd get in the way.
The Cobra Island and Retro ones look great.
The movie one looks great even though no one wants it.
The Crimson one's orgasm face looks great and the gold mask is cool. The problem with that figure is that the head is too big, but when she's standing next to Tomax and Xamot, you can't tell.
As someone who actually fucking owns the Rattler Baroness, she's definitely the best, but Baroness has not had a truly bad face in this line yet.

>>11593307
The so-called retro one was so obsessed at adding as much detail as possible to go full "McFarlane" that they still have yet to produce a correct retro one. Sometimes a toy sculptor needs to know when NOT to add details as much as when to add lots of it.

And I own the Rattler one too, and feel guilty with what I paid for it. They got it with this one with not going overboard with the details. The flight vest has good details as it should, but the body of the figure has just enough details to make it right without getting stupid with it like with the previous versions.

>>11593307
>The movie one looks great even though no one wants it.
I WAS like that, but re-evaluating it after a couple of years and giving it a second look, I am very tempted right now. I actually ordered the Origins movie Scarlett just a couple of hours ago and have that coming now. Part of me is starting to feel like the Origins figures didn't suck as much as I initially felt. And hey they're cheap, and can easily be had for half their original retail price.

>>11593320
Yeah, divorced from that terrible movie, it's a decent figure.

>>11593314
>And I own the Rattler one too, and feel guilty with what I paid for it.
Well, I paid retail for the entire set, because I backed. And I paid less than retail for most of the other Baronesses, so I don't have any autistic hangups about any of them.

>>11593338
I didn't back it because I couldn't afford to, but I was able to get the $150 for just the Baroness. Yeah it sucks but I knew that it's not going to get any cheaper.

>>11593357
Being poor and/or bad with money isn't a good reason to simp for a figure.

>>11593361
When did I do that?

>>11593364
I believe you have falsely deflated the quality of other female figures in the line in an act of willful overcompensation because Rattler Baroness "means" more to you.

>>11593367
I didn't. I don't have to. That's why the other guy was able to find them all for below retail. High-demand figures that look good daren't worth less than retail, bro. The previous versions had shorter legs with longer torsos, and that proportional difference is really noticable. They need needless details added to the body armor. And their faces are just shit.

But it's obvious to me that you're that Crystal Ball guy (probably Michael) looking to pick another pointless needless argument.

>>11593373
>the figures get better over time
wow, crazy
that doesn't mean 3 year old figures suddenly become trash, though.
I'd rather have a new Cobra Island Baroness in the cool battle armor than the Rattler one. I bought the Rattler because it and Weasel are cool, and I've been annoyed from the first reveal that the third figure was Baroness and not ANYTHING else, and I still feel that way, because I already had four of her.

>>11593379
I never liked them. My first female Classified was Zarana. Rattler version is my first Classified Baroness due to not being happy with previous versions.

>I'd rather have a new Cobra Island Baroness in the cool battle armor than the Rattler one.
That's fine with me. I am not challenging your right to an opinion like you so aggressively do with everyone else.

>I bought the Rattler because it and Weasel are cool
They are indeed cool. I can agree with that.

> I've been annoyed from the first reveal that the third figure was Baroness and not ANYTHING else, and I still feel that way, because I already had four of her.
She's the most valuable female and one of the most valuable figures in the entire Classified line to date, so your opinion is a minority-view. Her inclusion really helped the Rattler go around 10,000 units above the funded number. I personally feel like the third figure should have been some sort of mechanic because having three pilots for a 2-person aircraft didn't make the most sense to me.

I personally want more variants of the same characters I like over later ones from the time when the Joes were less popular. I even grafefully accept the "cartoon cheese" like Cold Slither. Don't misunderstand; the "serious stuff" like Ghost Viper are still cool too. I am not locked down into one type at all. It's more fun that way.

>>11593393
>She's the most valuable female and one of the most valuable figures in the entire Classified line to date, so your opinion is a minority-view.
Yeah. It's also the minority view that there's maybe two versions of Snake Eyes that need to be made, but they'll do 15 more before the line dies, and the "majority" will buy most if not all of them.
The majority thinks Joes are better than Cobra, even though that's a gay opinion for people who got molested as children, and they're content to buy forty different dudes with a rifle and ensure it'll be another year or two before they make Interrogator.
The majority isn't always right.
>Her inclusion really helped the Rattler go around 10,000 units above the funded number.
No, that just happens during the final days, just like with every other Haslab because online retailers and scalpers start buying more to resell, once the demand has been demonstrated.

>>11593415
The paying customer is ALWAYS right. Alienating people because a fucking snob thinks his opinion is the only one that matters isn't a smart move by any company. You want Interrogator. I want Destro in a Cobrathon tux. With how fast it sold out in spite of the high price, Hasbro is happy that it went with Ghost Viper instead.

I love /toy/, because whenever I get into an argument I get accused of being some other person who I've never even actually seen before in 10+ years of posting here

I'm curious. What's your opinion on the Classified Scarlett releases?

>>11593476
I just ordered the origins one today. I don't own any others of her.

>>11593476
Also I picked up retro carded Cobra Commander yesterday at Target after seeing stuff like your pics. Couldn't help it. You can't have Cobra without him. The vac-metallized face plate is a nice touch.

>>11593480
First Wave Classified (Pic related, head) has the best face if you like less make-up and cute freckles. Second deco Scarlett has more blush and red lipstick. Origins Scarlett has darker lipstick and blush too plus an angry scowl expression. Retro Wave Scarlett has a darker eye color, a subtle scowl, and overall does not look like her original incarnation defeating the purpose of a Retro release.

>>11593481
>retro carded Cobra Commander
Great choice. The face plate is the best implementation of vac-metal I have seen in years.

>>11593501
I just wish that he came with the "bomb" from the movie intro.

>>11593516
>the "bomb" from the movie intro
Maybe a con exclusive release someday with the vehicle. I want a Retro CC in Valor vs Venom colors.

>>11593537
I wouldn't mind a straight-up black repaint of the existing one althought at this point I am happy with the retro one.

>>11593106
I like her design and the basic idea, I'd buy a figure of her, I just wish she truly was a new character, and not Powerglide's girlfriend from an old Transformers cartoon getting randomly turned into a murderous villain.

>>11593449
>You want Interrogator. I want Destro in a Cobrathon tux.
Anons, you're both right. Especially if you want Cobrathon Baroness too.

I asked A.I. to create a new member of G.I.Joe.

>>11593589
Cobrathon Baroness would be awesome too. After how well Cold Slither worked, I want more from the cartoons. I know that the Snowcat Flint and Lady Jaye are both cartoon likenesses too, which is fine with me.

>>11592764
>Asians in the front seat
Too close to my childhood

>>11589716
Finally, a proper Bionic Commando body!

>>11592764
After seeing this thing in person for the first time...I feel like it's nose is too long. Like the entire front end is stretched too far and the could have easily cut it about 3" shorter.

Hopefully it pulls a Stinger and gets a repaint no one wants and goes on deep clearance as I had to pass on this version. I like that it was updated to be a three seater, but the Striker was never my favorite joe vehicle.

this topic's auto-saging its way to the bottom so if someone else wants to make a new one that'd be awesome. I made the last three and am done with doing it. It's someone else's turn.

>>11593501
He's the only Joe I own currently. I see there has been no hint of another Baroness again. Why even bother waking up anymore.

I remember seeing some prototypes for sale at an advanced toy shop behind glass walls

>>11594043
In the early 00s Chinese factory workers would make money on the side by using Hasbro's molds to run off figures, and they would use the cheapest and most plentiful plastic Hasbro had around, which was usually brightly-colored, while hoping Hasbro wouldn't notice. They sold their figures as "test shots" (which is the correct names for them) on Ebay. American buyers bought them up, then flipped them as "prototypes," which is completely wrong but it allowed them to sucker the people they flipped the stuff to into paying a higher price.

>>11594041
Their problem is they're short-sighted now. They only reveal what drops in two or three months. It's not as shitty as Reaction+ not revealing what they have coming until a few days before the release when stuff's already in shipment/distribution channels, but it's still shitty. It makes it totally impossible to plan for anything. This year at NYCC they didn't even show the fucking Snowcat while last year they showed the Rattler and figures a year ahead of its release.

At this point they 100% have everything they're releasing within the next year already planned out, and probably all of it has at least grey-sculpey prototypes available to show. More than likely everything for the next six months is already in test shot or even production sample stages. Yet they keep fucking with customers while focusing on that retarded "only show the next wave" bullshit. It's aggravating. It's like both Hasbro and Reaction+ are intentionally trying to piss off and try the patience of people who want to be paying customers.

>>11594053
So that explains a lot of the lego bootleg stuff from china or mexico as being test shots, thanks wise one

>>11594053
>At this point they 100% have everything they're releasing within the next year already planned out

There is no "probably" to it. Reference:

>>11590709

They're just fucking with the patience of customers at this point.

>>11594057
You can buy fake Louis Vuittons and Birkins made in the same Chinese factories out of the exact same materials as the real ones are. It's all fucked up now thanks to the global dependency on one single nation to produce everything.

Can the Snake Armor melt steel beams?

Managed to get the Crimson Strike Force box with Xamot, Tomax and Baroness for a decent price (£50!). Looking forwards to 'em!

>>11594403
Enjoy anon, I'll never know what it feels like to hold a Baroness.

>>11594515
All but the Rattler version are cheap and among the cheapest Classified figures you can get.

>>11593947
It does feel like you should be able to open it up and see an engine

Next wave of Reaction+ got leaked

>Movie Cobra Commander with black cape.

>Arctic Scarlett (continuing with the arctic theme for the Joe movie)

>Arctic Snake Eyes (red glow, probably from the Mass Device mini-series)

>Arctic Mara (unsure if that means her in her diving scuba suit since I don't recall her in an arctic outfit)

>>11594744
Photos of what the likely next wave will be. The wave is listed as arriving in November. Crazy that we might start seeing new Joes every month or two.

>>11594744
who cares?? Its all going to clearance either way

Just got Budo, I wasn't even trying and I realized that I have assembled the whole Chaiwanese embassy squad.

Still want a babyfaced Heavy Duty, but I only now realized the original toy had a mustache and that's why Hasbro took away his razor for the new toy. I only know Heavy Duty from the cartoon.

>>11594778

The only one that's interesting is Mara (IF done right). As wearing a simple divesuit she doesn't need a lot of detail except on the head/face. Just don't make her look like a dude by making her flat-chested. Women have boobs. Flatties need to get over it.

CC might be good if done right as well. Just take the mold they already have and add a cape to it. How hard could it be to fuck that up?

And it feels like Hasbro and Reaction+ got together to suddenly promote the movie figures. I don't get why. The movie wasn't that popular and the fan base largely considers the intro to be the best part of it.

It's actually a felony to bully people into suicide.

Or fridge-body. Make her look actually female.

Got my Crimson Strike Force in today. Pretty damn impressed.
Tomax and Xamot are pretty cool, actually my first "regular size" male Classified figures (prior to this box the only Classifieds I owned were Zaranna and Roadpig). My only real gripes are they could really use toe joints, and I don't care for the ratcheted ab crunches. A chest balljoint would have been better IMO. Otherwise very good.
Baroness is fantastic. Superb articulation (the chest and waist joints especially), great sculpt, the metallic red chest armour is gorgeous and the faces are peak. Only issues I have are I wish her legs were pinless.
My biggest problem with the set is I'd have liked more hands, I'd have taken them over the bases even. That aside? Awesome set. Especially for the £50 I paid.

Extra hands are a Retro Classified luxury it seems. Also why didn't you post in the new thread?

Didn't see there was a new thread. Durrrr.

I'm still waiting for retro Roadblock, retro Falcon and Zartan with a swamp skier. If I can have those three my wants will have been met for a while, at least until they announce the next vehicle.
