As far as I know, yes. They have only put out three Joe Ultimate figures this year, all repaints (Red Laser, TF Flint, PP Destro). Last announced wave was cancelled, and so far nothing new has been announced in nearly 18 months. Even the assumptions that they were pivoting to a cheaper deluxe...

So I took the time to do the Metalhead leg swap on Mainframe... at first I wasn't sure, as the underwear is a little big, but fitting MF's gear/belt over the top of the diaper basically hides the extra, saved me from having to trim it down. And it's a snug fit, so his gear doesn't try to ride...

I bought a $10 NFTR for that purpose, but when I got so irritated with the short-king figure, I just put him away and stuck with my PP Viper/BAT kitbash with GridIron gear. The one I trimmed today was the office-studio figure, trying to make him better since I don't want to make a second...

I did a little trim-job on the sides of mainframe's helmet, cut it back so it's not so close to his cheekbones. I think it makes all the difference in the world to how he looks with the classic headgear. The sides just came forward way too far and exaggerated the "kid in an adult costume" look...

This is entirely possible and crossed my mind too. He did have a big noggin, likely the same designer that made the original '86 viper, who had a big noggin as well. Then again, I always thought of it more like a motorcycle or racing helmet, which are pretty bulky, unlike a military helmet...

$300 is definitely steep. Even $200 isn't really a bargain, as the original haslab was $300 with four figures. Three less figures @ $28 puts the price barely over $200, and they have to do zero new tooling for this project. The margin on this has got to be pretty high.... basically priced at...

MTO Arctic HISS is live. PO for the next month, delivery is Dec '26... and unlike a haslab, supposedly we're not charged until it ships. G.I. Joe Classified Series #216, Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. (High Speed Sentry) and Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. Driver - Hasbro Pulse EDIT: The panel also has a...

Every retailer these days seems to have some kinds of shenanigans going on. AMZ telling me my figures will be delivered every day for a week... WM just forgetting about their POs... Target and Pulse playing the out-of-stock game constantly... BBTS charging a premium on everything just because...

I ordered 3x of this wave minus the GV. Got three Mainframe... and a week later got 3x Sci-Fi... and a week later got 3x Wetsuit. So yeah, it does seem less like a wave and more like a group of figures that just get released in a similar timeframe.

Wetsuits arrived from AMZ... in an envelope. Fortunately only one of them was crushed, but the figure doesn't look harmed. You'd think that getting that many figures would warrant a box, but this entire wave arrived that way, one SKU at a time, each in envelopes.

The deals were "ok"... but other than the retro Viper, they were all 2-yo figures that we've all bought for retail and on sale many times over. There just wasn't anything compelling that I needed to spend money on. Wetsuit and greenshirt should be my last Joes for the year. After that it's...

I opened Sci-Fi last night, and it's pretty solid. I have read a lot of gripes that he's not ARAH enough, green isn't bright enough, etc, etc... and I just don't see it. None of those things bother me. And YET, he seems off somehow. I can't put my finger on what exactly is bugging me, but...

I have yet to see a sale on anything I needed more of. They're going to have to get more aggressive than $18-20 to trip my radar. Got Sci-Fi yesterday (haven't opened yet), and my other greenshirts are out for delivery (they've been "out for delivery" three days in a row... I think my AMZ...

Speaking of cheap metal-heads, I saw where some people are using his lower half to give mainframe some extra height and darker pants. While I think it looks better than the base munchkin, it makes the torso and legs a little disproportionate. In my home display, I decided to keep my custom...

Lenny is a 90's kid, and sometimes it shows clearly.

It makes sense... but damn, you gotta think of the PR that accompanies projects that fail this spectacularly.

So they were aware they gimped the project before it was ever announced. Nice. It's almost like they wanted to make sure it failed. :unsure: There is no way they put out that campaign as we see it now and expected it to fund.

Why didn't it?

Yeah, that's $100 worth of stuff at best. Even at that price I don't know that they'd get 10k backers, but it'd be far more likely.
