Toy Fair 2012.

I don't want to eBay a Hummer. I really want the ammo can set up and the sniper rifle. The NOH isn't all that outstanding in and of itself.

I can get a hummer whenever I want one, day or night. No purchase necessary .

 

[K-Tiger]

No one wants to hear about you and Eddie's trysts.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

GROSS!...bears are smelly....hahahahaaa...

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I just want some new head sculpts from the Retaliation line. I'd rather have less figures overall if they're going to reuse the hell out of head sculpts (at least for "named" characters who should be unique, anyways).

Or they better be really clever with the reuses, and things will be okay.

 

[K-Tiger]

Hasbro, clever? Rarely.

You just had to ruin it, didn't you?

Agreed.

 

[duffmann]

I'm hoping they show off some Retaliation Vehicles and I really hope they don't suck

me to and i also hope the don't suck

 

[K-Tiger]

Show starts Sunday, but I've heard Hasbro does it's thing tomorrow. Either way it won't be long before the 5-point Driver question is answered.

I'm hoping that the announced Mezco Mars Attacks figures are 1:18 scale.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I'll be surprised if the drivers are going to have more articulation than what's been shown already. I hope they do, though.

I wonder if they'll show the remaining figures for the line. Especially the off screen characters.

 

[K-Tiger]

Don't remember if they did for RoC. I'm sure something has to be kept for JoeCon.


If the 5-point thing turns out true it won't be a big loss for me. I haven't seen a vehicle driver yet that could convince me to pop for the vehicle.

I foresee shelf warming.

 

[Cloud Strife]

True, about needing surprises for JoeCon. By the way, when is JoeCon?

Clutch looks cool and I dig his head-sculpt, but I definitely wouldn't buy the vehicle just for the head-sculpt if the figure is ends up being 5 points artic.

 

[rds13601]

We'll probably get a better look at the GI Joe Retaliation JOE Trooper than the photos that were released. I'm hoping for you BIG K, Kwinn might be there again or possibly a JOE CON exclusive.

 

[fogger1138]

I still think that the drivers are prototypes, but if I'm wrong that's a big savings for me, as I likely won't be bothering to get any of the vehicles in that case.

Also hoping we'll see Kwinn and an announcement about how he'll be made available.

 

[unclassified]

i too think they are prototypes. and i'm hoping they are so all the damn so called know it alls look like know nothing at alls and think they do.. i'm glad this place don't have the hasbro execs and ceos here. i hated that about the tank.

Last weekend in June, I think?

[darthdre758]

Was anyone from here invited to the Hasbro set up?

 

[NSA]

Was anyone from here invited to the Hasbro set up?

pshaw. We don't roll like that..

... we wern't invited

 

[darthdre758]

Good news then. The fine (hah!) folks at Bantha Skull are going and will be streaming pictures and news all the live long day.

Stop by if you don't want to resort to other sites for your news.

 

[K-Tiger]

Update on Professor X. According to Figures.com coverage he's set for W.4 2012.

 

[K-Tiger]

NECA is doing Rocky figures, and the Drago and Clubber Lang heads look particularly good. Reckon someone can shrink 'em for 1:18 use?

 

[Monkeywrench]

Update on Professor X. According to Figures.com coverage he's set for W.4 2012.

Nice!

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, at least it's a window.


I think we all expected this:

 

[NSA]

Matchbox scale carrier, designed for 1:18? Yep.

 

[K-Tiger]

Maybe I can use it for my old Micro Machines!

 

[NSA]

It would make a great COBRA Trubble Bubble carrier for ARAH weirdos.

 

[K-Tiger]

But, but, IT'S OVER 3 FEET LONG!!one!

*chortles*

 

[NSA]

But does it go over 9000?

 

[K-Tiger]

I heard the TMNT sewer playset has Pit Syndrome.


Yup, cardboard parts FTL!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Eh, I'm okay with cardboard panels if they do them right. A lot of the shit from Castle Greyskull was cardboard. Yeah, that was like 30 years ago, but still. It's not like we lost play value over the material of a backdrop. I'd rather them skimp on shit like that, than on individual figures. Only the spoiled kids (I was one, myself) will wind up with the playsets anyways.

Regardless, that thing is baller.

 

[K-Tiger]

They could at least laminate that shit.

Hell, it may not even come out for all we know.

 

[Goldbug]

New singles for Street Fighter. Hopefully this means those will be showing up at Target & Walmart.

 

[NSA]

Where's the ghost recon action!

 

[K-Tiger]

Exactly.

Hmm, a female figure from Unimax. This should be interesting.


Then again it'll be next TF before we actually see pics!

 

[nacho]

Looks like there are no OT vehicles.

This makes me sad. I thought we'd at least get a couple more rehashes in vintage packaging.

 

[K-Tiger]

Holy crap, the Build-A-Thing for The Dark Night Rises is a working Batsignal!

 

[NSA]

Wow.. how many figs do you need to buy that?

 

[K-Tiger]

Half a dozen I imagine. At least.


McF had the Halo Falcon mock up at their booth again.

 

[NSA]

Fockers! At least it's still around.. there is a little hope left.. maybe he's still mad that I told him his toys sucked to his face

 

[K-Tiger]

Ha, I wish someone would ask if it's gonna happen.

Almost makes me want to join twitter so I can.
