I completely agree. They have a fully open door with the retro packaging. They can literally do every fig they haven't already retro'ed and probably do a couple versions of many of them. They just have to avoid more clustered artwork as happened with Flint. I really don't understand what...

So the next wave of POs has dropped. Since everybody has officially gone to the new pricing, I will be POing exactly none of them, at least for now. If I don't happen to come into some gift card credit at AMZ prior, I'm going to wait until they actually come into stock to get the two I want...

Yeah, it will depend on how the mainline CL turns out whether I get him or just have to suck it up and get a scalped NF one. At least he's usually the cheapest of the four figs from the DF. I always considered the RGs to be Co-La dudes in suits and the other main characters some kind of...

Summary of info from NYCC: https://toynewsi.com/278-60247 There's quite a lot of new reveals, but I'm really only seriously interested in Night-Viper, Hit & Run, maybe Crazy Legs (assuming the red is not too obnoxious) and the female CG. Like with SF and Steeler, I might pick up Zap for the...

Yep. I've said it before, this line has already gone way farther than I expected, and has done a very solid job of hitting the absolute essentials. I never expected them to be able to continue the CS at full production as well as Haslabs, retro and sub-teams. But they have, and now the...

I think Hasbro had the Visionaries as well as another short-lived attempt at dabbling in the fantasy realm. They jumped on the hologram bandwagon with those at a slightly larger scale too. There were a few different lines that came and went as Joe, MOTU, TCs, TMNT and Xfrmrs were winding down...

By then, Hasbro had apparently decided to go all-in on the flashy, and ultimately the weird. As you mentioned, they were obviously chasing every trendy fad of that era - Chuckles = Miami Vice, Outback = Chuck Norris, Dress Blues Gung-Ho = Top Gun dress whites, Jinx - ever present 80's ninjas...

*Adjusts my nerd glasses* 🤓 Well... technically Hardball has a baseball jersey as well, but they didn't even bother to give him a number. But yeah, mix it up, Hasbro. Geez... I can't say I'm overly excited for the Gridiron re-use and re-purposing of their vehicles into wildly "different"...

And... Big Lob. I've got zero interest, but he could have been worse. At least they didn't decide to give him gym shorts or something... I like the SBR/carbine. Might have to get ahold of one or more of those in the aftermarket.

Lol, Walmart got me as well this morning. The nostalgia of those retro packages along with the deep discounts (pardon the pun) was more than I could bear :LOL:. I ordered a rViper and rScarlett. They know how to get us. These two will join rBH and remain on their cards, as I have solid...

I had a fast expiring coupon for Ollie’s that popped up on my account, so I swung by my normal train-wreck of a store and ended up with one more 60th Marine. They only had two of those, at least that I could find in the mess. I was kind of hoping for another HALO/pilot instead (assuming they...

No real surprises, but looks pretty solid. Will definitely picki up this one and Hit & Run. Looking a little closer, there's a definite reuse of the HISS Driver's legs. Kinda tarnishes it just a little, though it won't really be noticeable on display. And I don't have a HD anyway, so I shouldn't...

Yeah, they couldn’t all be winners. It’s good to have some characters you wouldn’t miss if they didn’t make it. 😆 In other CS news, I found myself in a different WM from my usuals and ran across this 😳 : I really didn’t expect to see this at a WM today. I had thought they were barely...

Ah yes, Big Lob. Another of the many, many reasons I hated the movie. Aside from the opening, I can't think of any part of it - the characters, the storyline, the retcon of CoCo, the extreme departure from (relatively) grounded military theming into the completely weird - that I actually liked...

Yeah, the render isn't terrible, but I never cared much for him as a kid, nor do I now. He has always been way too red and white for a battlefield. His portrayal in the cartoon didn't help either. His entire job was medic/crew chief for the Tomahawk for me back in the day. I don't think I have a...

Love that Thunder Machine! It looks so legit that it takes me back. I used the heck out of mine as a kid. So many times I packed it full of Dreadnoks to harass Joe convoys and bases. It often got blown up by Joe vehicles just to be rebuilt for the next attack. Good times!

Nice! I could see myself picking up a Col. Hawk at some point in the aftermarket if I find him for the right price. After all, he was my first Joe back in the day, so nostalgia will probably catch up to me in the end. You still planning to make some proper missiles for that launcher? Speaking...

I found myself across town at the better organized Ollie's today, and happened to catch them putting out 4 cases of 60th Halo and Marine, in addition to the 3 or 4 singles that were already on the shelf. So I'd say they have arrived in earnest now. It was tempting, but I have two of each...

I opened rTV and put him in his Trubble Bubble. He looks like he belongs there, which works out since he has a semi-gimpy foot. It wants to stay in a tip toe position, which works out since both his feet can stay kind of like that while riding the TB anyway. I also opened rCG, got her a better...

Hit & Run looks pretty cool. https://toynewsi.com/278-59937
