Probably into "interspecies erotica". *makes quotation mark gesture*.
Man, I like that Flint as a buck. At least 3 pack Fire Fly is gonna come with that torso.
Either him or Hit and Run would have been filling up my work space for that reason. I bet Alyosha's pissed.
Why would Aly be pissed?
The more I look at that Lady Jaye, the more I hope we see her released.

Seriously Hasbro, make them, all of them. I especially like the concept Alley-Viper with the City Strike IG vest and arms (probably body too, uses the alley-viper legs from the 25th too).
I would buy every fucking Ninja in the Legends of the Arashikage, especially that Night Creeper and undead one. ALL OF THEM.
The Zombies are hilarious.
There is so much good stuff, that Crimson guard Immortal, FLINT and Layd Jaye... Hit & Run (and I like liked the Cobra Island verison, minus his hands). Every colour of Ninja... gimmie.

The Renegades Coyote...as much as I wanted one I did say that it would be a two seater with a pop-up gun like the Steel Crusher...kinda glad they didn't make it. I really wanted something more of a troop carrier.
As for the rest of those figs, almost all of those 30th could be DG Joes....a bunch of them are reused molds. Throw them out there and let us go ape shit.

They've already established a Zombie comic book around GI Joe. This could have worked as a 7 pack.
Oh I hate you Hasbro. I fucking hate you so damn much.
"Yea let's take some of Mr. Morelock's favorite joes, make stunning modern versions of them, then NEVER release them!". Add in the fact I have to wait until march or later for my favorite cobra figure to get his perfect release. I might just spontaneously combust out of pure anger.

I had a feeling that Retaliation Joe Trooper was originally intended for the 30th or PoC. He just doesn't fit in with the rest of the movie figures.
Yea, but where do you even start with the good guys to make it worth buying? 7 zombies is no problem. Now 7 good guys that would be hot sellers? That's the challenge.
You make one of all those Steel Brigade looking guys?
And add that Hit & Run in to the mix.
I'd also buy a few sets of those Cobra troopers, the Stinger Driver, Shock Trooper in blue, that Viper in a grey and muted red with a gold face plate, the Black Shadow Crimson Guard.
The real question is, will they give me all the colours of the rainbow Ninjas in 2-box sets?

I think you're right. Check out the CGI. Pretty sure he was gonna use the same lower legs as the para.
Wish I hadnt a gone and looked...sighhh...
I'm really starting to loath Hasbro...I know it's a fan boyish thing to say, but damn...
First, it seems ARAH homages have been relegated to the f*&#ing GIJCC or SDCC or Joecon...wherever it is, it's gonna be $$$$$$$ and a HUGE PITA to get a hold of...
Then they show all this bada$$ stuff that will most likely never see the light of day because of a sh!t ton of garbage movie stuff...
Tons of stuff getting canned because of a turd movie...not only figures, but a whole freaking cartoon...why on earth there couldn't have been both is beyond my understanding...
It's really losing the fun factor, and has just turned into a bunch of frustration that frankly, I'm sick of dealing with...
I really wish the third party companies that have popped up to make the awesome TFs that Hasbro won't/can't would start doing Joes and 100% rip off Hasbros articulation...

I just looked at all the zombie figures and have decided I'm just going to punch the GI Joe team in the face at SDCC. Maybe then, some sense will be knocked into them. Looking at the figures they are not making is raping my adulthood.
Fine, I'll just throw a balloon with piss in it and when they are soaked I'll ask them how it feels since we deal with it all the time! YEA! :animal:
All those cancelled figures look great. If they were released, I would by them, but honestly I can live without all the ninjas and zombies.
The Coyote should have been released. They could have released it in two different colors and sold twice as many.
The only optimistic thing I have to say is, notice which characters are missing from the cancelled Renegades display.
Roadblock, Baroness, Dr.Mindbender, Destro, Flint, Lady Jaye, Zartan, & Major Bludd
I really think if they prototyped a minor (in Renegades at least) character like Scrap Iron, surely they prototyped most of the above who had larger roles in the series. Maybe there's hope for a 7-pack or two? We did get the Resolute 7-packs after Roc after all.

Shit, nothing was happening so I went off today with friends to fuck off. Come home, and there's so much stuff to look at, I'm still going through it.
As for all the zombies, they're cool and all, but I think it would've been a wasted effort over some of the other stuff.
And that cancelled stuff! Flint, I'm actually not feeling. I don't like the collar of the Firefly mold on him, but the Beachhead, Lady Jaye, Heat Viper, Laser Viper, CG Immortal, Stinger Driver, Cobra Officer (with the 3-pack SE webgear!), updated Tele-Viper, BBQ, Hit & Run, Grunt (LOVE that Grunt head!!!) are all awesome.
And is that an updated Torpedo? Or Wet-Suit? Either way, he looks amazing. Didn't really see the need for an updated Eel, but he still looks good. Same with the Snow Serpent. He looks fantastic too! A more updated version. Sigh.
And there's even some oddball designs that seem to be new characters that are cool. The Jason Vorhees looking dude (Dreadnok?) and the guy with the black beard with the red collar (seems to be 100% new tooling?) are both pretty sweet.
Hell, I need to keep going through them. There's way too much tooling there for them to be mere "concepts". I call bullshit on that, there's way too much development in those sculpts. It screams "cancelled for the shitty movie and originally intended for the 30th" (i.e. "25th Anniversary Second Wind") to me. It's a LOT of "concepts" to be that polished, is all I'm saying, especially considering the amount of reused sculpt work that could've been milked without complaint.

Dammit! That zombie CC looks to have an all-new body sculpt. That would've been an excellent new Cobra Commander that I would've gladly bought!
What do you want to bet that the sketch work for the Cobra La set planned to reuse that Cobra Commander zombie mold for that series, too?
And that Renegades Jeep and APC/Armored Truck thing (Coyote, was it?) look pretty sweet, too!
And a proper Dice! FRACK! Slice can be made easily from the Retaliation Red Ninja and some minor paint apps, but Dice is a bit tougher. I am so sick of ninjas (the rainbow brigade is a bit much) but I would've gotten him, and it's 10x better than the shitty Club version.
Damn, it's cool to see all that, but depressing as well. At least Toyfair gave us hope, this is just saddening.

I was just looking again due to a lack of sleep. I actually really like those zombie figures! Plus that ninja with a skull head? Does anyone else see a head for Scorpion? (Of mortal kombat fame). I'm so bummed that these will never see the light of day. Those joes lock major ass, the cobra troopers also do. Plus the zombies!
If Joe could support simultaneous movie and regular lines there would probably be some 3rd party stuff.
Anyhoo, some great stuff there we won't see, but I'm glad we won't have Ninja Force 2, plus HEAT and Laser Vipers eat dicks, really tapped out the good Viper specialties if you're doing those 2nd-stringers.
yes they do and cuse of the movie they killed them now in retrospect they should of made these since we wont get shit for joes till next yr WTF i hate when they show them as i would of bought 99% of them.
man that flint is killer HnR is fucking killer 90% of the cobras rock i so wish they would relse them as they are so worth the 8 to 12 bucks that they are charging for the crappy movie figs.
Micro-fucking-force? They want us to voice our opinions as to product and then they say that is a go? Fuck them. Figures the size of a quarter? Who did the research on that? Awesome, just effin' awesome.
Enjoy the ride right now because the chance at getting something decent in the future seems to be slipping away.

I want that John Chu figure so badly. He's going to my designated Cobra propaganda agent. A regular Leni Riefenstahl.
That customizable sticker sheet that comes with the CG is either a win or a fail depending on its quality
Oh hell yes! Micro Force, I want to pay for something that was given away free back in the 80's. Quit with action battlers, role play, water pistols, ninja masks, and make shit that will sell! Fuck, how hard is that?
Without any of her talent.
Apparently Hasbro CONFIRMED that variant Blow Job and Cock Master WERE produced, but have NO idea what the fuck happened to them.
