Thanks to AI and an emphasis on "abstract art," it's simply harder than it used to be to find a competent artist. That's one skill that's getting killed off. At the rate we're going it won't be long before we're in a second medieval age where the masses believe that the art of the ancients was done by wizards.

OK got it. That's just what google shit out the first time I searched. She does indeed look a lot like the legacy marine sniper. What's RC's gimmick? Remote-controlling drones?

I'm definitely getting Zap, he's the most overlooked character on the original comic team. I was hoping he'd get an update on his load out instead of an upscaled original but I might splurge and get a 3rd party kit.
>>
>>11677013
>>11677038
More like Downsyndrome
>>
>>11677162
I was until I saw they went full brown on him.

Zap has always been a light skinned hispanic. The same as Dial tone being a light skinned Italian. The woke dogshit however ruined both figures by making Dial Tone swarthy as fuck and Zap dark skinned as fuck because to the DEI brain dead woketards, Mexians and Italians have to be dark skinned as fuck and light skinned ones can not exist.
>>
>>11677162
For real? That would be Grunt, who's very name refers to generic soldiers. Grunt is the textbook example of the "greenshirts," and we call them greenshirts specifically because the "Grunt" name was already taken by a character.

Well damn, you're right. That makes giving her a Code Name way easier now.

>>11677162
Zap is a figure that should get more updates, he's painfully underused. Back with the ME stuff, I swapped his head and gear onto one of the Retaliation Troopers and it just worked perfectly.

>>11677231
Grunt's very generic-ness is what makes him interesting. He's the "Average Soldier" so he'll always find a spot in the G.I. Joe release schedule pretty early on. But Zap usually gets overshadowed as the "Bazooka Guy" by, well, Bazooka.

>>11677244
Or he could realize he's probably based off the cartoon version, who was pretty dark. But then he's also complaining about Dial Tone being too dark...so it's pretty clear he's just a moron. I mean, most people who spout those buzzwords usual are, but he's just openly admitting to being a dumbass.

Finally got my hands on Law & Order, love the build and look on this but I’m a bit disappointed that he has the same weird cuffs as the action cops figures, also I have no idea where his knife goes
>>
>>11677905
Well I'm not exactly a fan of straight update releases like this, I still plan to get him but only because it's highly unlikely he'll ever see another release in Classified. Personally I would prefer to see him updated like they did with the first Rock 'n Roll, where he had more modern clothes, gear and weapons. Maybe instead of carrying the old M1 style Bazooka, he could upgrade to a more modern Javelin like system, while updating his gear to match his new smart tech weapons.

Or lean into his name of "Zap" and give him a laser bazooka or something, a unique weapon that would make him a unique character. And I don't mean just update him for Classified, I feel he should see more use in any Joe property going forward.
>>
All the other OG13 members that have come out have been updated in some way. Zap is going to be the odd man out still being a plain greenshirt when everyone around him has geared up.
>>
>>11678205
Yeah, he doesn't seem to have anywhere to put the knife. I kinda hate the handcuffs too. It'd be different if they had a better way to store them, but some of these guys seem to have weird half-holsters for certain things and the cuffs are one of those so it feels like they don't stay in great.
>>
>>11678358
The problem with that is it steps on Heavy Duty. But I agree with you. Give him a Stinger or TOW launcher to update his ordinance past WW2 firepower.
>>
>>11678370
There's nothing wrong with the greenshirts. If anything they need more of them like "spell of the siren" female greenshirts.
>>
>>11678374
Eh, Heavy Duty has always been about his absurdly large and complex multi-weapon. He was also supposed to replace Roadblock as the heavy gunner, and takes that role in many iterations of the Joe team. But it's still distinctly different from a dedicated MPAT Infantryman. And again, upgrading Zap's weapon would also help differentiate him away from Bazooka as the "Bazooka Guy".

>>11678406
I agree, greenshirts are great. Doesn't mean they can't get updated. Tripwire, Grunt, the first Rock 'n Roll are all great examples of modern versions of updated "Greenshirts". They still keep that generic feel to em, but their gear and weapons are updated to modern and near-future viability.

I know this Zap is the Retro version, and as such was explicitly designed to be an updated version of his original looks and toy, but I would love a more "modern" version of Zap in the regular line as well, but there's absolutely no chance that will happen. Short Fuze and Steeler can both probably get Retro releases, but one Zap is all we'll get.
>>
>>11678461
Personally I'd like to have a more retro version of Tripwire. He's one of my favorites from the O-ring Joes. I don't know why. He just is. The version we got reminded me of Fatman from Metal Gear Solid 2.
>>
>>11678468
You can strip off his heavier armor and he has his classic stuff as an alternative.

Another kitbashing success with Red Shadows accessory pack, this time with Classified 02 Snake Eyes. I had to dig my Snake Eyes from the bin, but I knew that the shiny black would work great with the overlays.

Super7 has re-listed Python Patrol Serpentor. I thought it sold out last summer. I guess it's a reissue.
>>
>>11679351
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Super 7 just pulling stuff out of their ass? Why do a Python Patrol Serpentor when the whole point of the Python Patrol was to off shoot from Serpentor's command?
>>
>>11677087
I'll be disappearing real soon if they don't announce a new Baroness.
>>
>>11679526
Found out a local store has the Rattler, and I'm really tempted to splurge hard just for the Baroness...
>>
>>11679536
Get it. It won't get any cheaper.

>>11679516
You're right. Operation Dragonfire. I don't know why they did it.

>>11679552
>>11679554
It might be gone before I have the money too splurge anyway, but personally I like the whole kit, Baroness is just the selling point for me.
>>
>>11679552
Well did they need anymore reasons to reuse and repaint figure moulds?
>>
>>11679586
Well yeah it'll get a repaint. I have it and can tell it's totally the original blue outfit underneath the flight gear. We just don't know when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. The one-year mark for the Rattler is June or July. I think I remember an interview where they said they like to wait a year before doing repaints of stuff.
>>
>>11679603
responding to the wrong anon I was talking about the python patrol
>>
>>11679628
Sorry. But you're right. My guess is it's a place-holder release until their next wave, which shouldn't be too long from now.
>>
>>11679516
Yes
Super 7 is on life support basically. They're constantly dropping Pre Orders for Wave 3 of something when Wave 1 hasn't even released yet
The MMPR Line basically fell apart out of box
Thundercats is running on empty
TMNT is a mess
The Gi Joe is barely even a thing is seems now too. I don't know who's still buying their stuff
>>
>>11679891
All of their ultimates lines are perpetually on clearance from the day they release. Places like BBTS and EE have full waves on discount of 60%-70% off.

I've considered picking some of them up when you can get a full wave of 4 for like $65, then I remember how much I hated the few TMNT figures I picked up.

I don't even know how anyone can stand the Reaction+ line. Even the few figures I picked up from that line were terrible. At least the Ultimates might be kind of fun for kids if you can get them for cheap, but the Reaction+ lines are geared more toward vintage 3.75" collectors and those figures suck.
>>
>>11679898
I liked their Joe ultimates. I like them being based on cartoon likenesses. I just wish they were 6-inch instead of 7-inch and wish they hadn't deliberately given fridge bodies to all the females to combat male gaze, sexism, etc.

I like some of them. Cobra Commander ia great. The one with the best details is easily the BAT, and in some ways like with the head I like it more than the original. The only complaint is the blue color. Mara and Arctic Scartlett are both great figures, and they have me wanting Lady Jaye and Baroness next.
>>
>>11679939
I liked the cartoon joes since hasbro will simply never give us cartoon accuracy, but they were still bad toys and the line died before we could even get all of the season 1 regulars or all of cobra high command

They were noticably more than Classified Joes, and Super7 did screw up stuff like said "fridge bodies." If they were the same scale (and price) as Classified while they focus on cartoon likenesses and Classified focused on realism, then they would have done a lot better. And they need to stop being afraid of offend the already-offended and just do females with the same curves they have in the cartoon.

At any rate I don't mind their focus on 3.75. Hasbro never did deliver a cartoon-accurate Lady Jaye O-ring. A new Baroness would be awesome too if done right, and they can "double-dip" it with Lady Jaye's head on Baroness body from "last hour to doomsday." Well really they can do what Hasbro has still yet to do with doing Joes in various Cobra disguises.

Is there a good place besides eBay to get used loose accessories. I found one seller who will combine ship and another whose prices are higher but offers free shipping on a lot of his loose stuff. Also it's a lot of really current figures. Anything specific like an older cartoon style Duke head are ab arm and a leg.

But I'm looking for some community market thing like BrickLink?
>>
>>11680282
If an Ebay seller has multiple listings you're interested in, then often he'll combine shipping if you ask.
>>
>>11679516
Because Python Patrol sells and in recent years there have been a push by fans to get the entire Cobra leadership caste given Python Patrol repaints. Hence Super7 getting permission to produce office canon Python Patrol color schemes for CC, Destroy, and Serpentor...
>>
>>11680414
>Destroy
Phone-poster, eh? It makes no sense. Destro had splintered off to command his own Iron Grenadiers faction at that point. The stuff they could do the PP treatment are for figures they don't even have regular versions out for yet (Cobra troopers, Viper, Crimson Guard, and Copperhead).
>>

>>11680739
They have a shitload of mainline figures they still haven't done while having done like four versions of Snake Eyes, four versions of Cobra Commander, and three versions of the BAT. They still haven't done Baroness and Lady Jaye in O-ring. Since they do four in a wave, getting Zartan, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch in a single wave would be awesome.

Some Vala stuff is alright. I just wish he'd quit making female figures look like bulldog lesbians out of cowardice of being cancelled by woketards who aren't buying his stuff anyway.
>>
>>11678370
Zap also has his Sonic Fighters outfit they can later do.
>>
>>11682572
It's risky to do the later stuff that was less popular. As we saw with Grim and Ghost Vipers, Hasbro would probably do better with all-new versions.
>>
>>11682572
That's actually the version I had as a kid, didn't have many of the OG13 but I was all up in the late 80s, early 90s stuff.

>>11682590
I don't think Classified is worried about taking risks, even joke characters like Raptor and Crystal Ball can be best sellers with how good these figures are. That said, Sonic Fighters had some really good looks for a lot of their figures, and the backpacks being small vehicles, drones, communication stations and turrets was a neat idea. I wouldn't say no to a Sonic Fighter's Zap with a laser bazooka and little tank drone. Classified loves their pet packs, and a drone is as good as any pet.

Hasuki does it again. Goddamn, we need 3rd party 1/12 joes like this. I would give my left nut for a Beachhead.
>>
>>11681586

Seems a touch smaller, as Joes tend to be compared to Legends, but not that noticeable cause of the horns and stuff. Obviously the ball joints aren't compatible, Joes use much smaller ones

that's just generic swat-who-rushed-to-the-scene-from-his-house-guy
Valaverse or whatever they're called is the closest we have to 3rd party GI Joes.

Also, aren't most of those mezco wannabes super undersized for 1:12? They're all asian heights of like 5'6"
That or 7.5"
>>
>>11682604
Sonic Fighters is a given at some point given the shitty as fuck way they did everyone dirty with Dial Tone and the need for a proper non Sunbow version of Zap who looks like Zap (IE light skinned Hispanic). Plus it gives us another Viper recolor and Lamprey in an alternate color scheme too

Thanks, yeah. One did it automatically as I put stuff in the cart, adding .50 per item. Which added up since I was getting seven things and none of them were bigger or weighed more than a head.

It looks like I'm still going to have to pay an arm and leg to get a Duke head, tho.

>>11682871
Much obliged for the pic anon.
>>
>>11682989
Actually, most Chinese figures run taller then your average 1:12 stuff, sometimes pushing closer to being 1:10 scale even. Like the School Girls in the Hasuki line are about 6"+ tall, so very much comparable to a Marvel Legends and Classified Joe.
>>
>>11682871
Sorry to ask this, but do you perhaps have a Ghost Rider ML head? If not it's fine.
>>
>>11683747
Almost all comparison photos I've seen have them being tiny manlets.

Or 7.5"
>>
>>11682989
This seems salient:
https://youtu.be/rsXQToVqEZw?t=786
The only ones Classified absolutely wouldn't work with would be Damtoys, but they haven't shown any inclination to do more 1:12 outside of the Coaldog art figures anyway.
>>
>>11684123
It's probably because of a different scale. They're probably what we see in 1:12 in inches while they're translating that with centimeters.
>>
all of the women in GI Joe are fine, but I'd go down on Cover Girl the most. the rest of the girls, probably not. especially not the Baroness she's a commie and looks hairy
>>
>>11684440
>no posting best Scarlett head
>>
>>11684440
The only way Cover Girl works is with a headswap. It's a shame. One bad decision to "combat male gaze" with an ugly head is the only bad part of that figure. The same goes for Zarana.

>>11684445
your version has an awesome ginger face. the other looks like a plastic model. Id do both, imo

>>11684619
Acid Rain is 1:18 scale, a bit larger then the old 80s/90s O-RIng Joes but perfectly compatible with the '07-'16 Modern Era stuff.
>>
>>11684722
Which one? I remember a couple of times they raided an ancient temple only for a statue to come alive

Any news, rumors, or leaks out there? The Joe community has gotten boring because of the lack of anything new. Hasbro's Christmas release was just one single figure. Even Super7 has been unusually quiet.

It depends on the brand unfortunately, but Hasuki works well.

From left to right, Hasbro, Crazy Figure, Hasuki and Lim Toys.

>>11685797
I doubt that they'll do that. It wouldn't sell well at all. What would be the tiered unlocks? More figures?
>>
>>11686044
A proper non DEI Zap, a big breasted Scarlet, Green shirt Hawk with non-gray brown hair, and toy accurate V1 Snake Eyes with alternate unmasked head, Clutch with no tattoos and alternate clean shaven head?
>>
>>11685899
That Venom Snake is awesome. I don't know why no one out there is producing a Classified-style series of MGS figures.
>>
>>11686065
Wouldn't all of that be bundled in standard in an OG13 boxed set? Personally I wouldn't back a HASLAB that's only figures. I want the vehicles, and as we're in year 6 of the line I think Hasbro needs to stop farting around with crap no one's asking for and start getting stuff out that's long over-due (Thunder Machine, Polar Battle Bear, Mocassin, Firebat, Skyhawk). I know Skystriker is undoable in Classified scale, but Conquest X-30 isn't.

And they really need to abandon their "YOU HAVE TO BUY THE SHIT YOU DON'T WANT OIF YOU WANT US TO MAYBE EVENTUALLY GET TO THE SHIT YOU DO WANT" strategy. That's the reason why most WalMarts don't even bother getting in Classified anymore, and distribution based on WHERE stuff sells is all screwed up. This isn't Star Wars. They're not gonna keep the line going for another 30 years before it fizzles out. They need to focus more on what sells hard and fast.

Look at Ghost Viper selling out in spite of costing $20 more than it should have. That shit's gonna hurt us because it emboldened Hasbro to make zero effort to lower the price, and even encouraged higher prices.

Also Steeler and Short Fuze are on sale if anyone's interested.
>>
>>11678205
He's on eBay for like $20 from the vendor that takes all the Target stock they don't want to dump at Ross or Ollie's but need to clear out from the stores for new stock. I mean, it's even well below retail from their app.

I ordered two off eBay since it's free shipping and I wanted a good clean cut red head for customs.

In other words, scalpers. Where I live Ross has raised their prices for closeout Classified from $5 to almost $10 because of scalpers hoarding up their stuff. I guess they figured that if scalpers can make more off of them then they can make a few more bucks too
>>
>>11686349
No, there is an account on ebay owned by target where they dump stock that they no longer want on their shelves. "Bullseye Deals" Its not scalping, its as the anon said, the same as an ollie's or ross, just owned by the original store trying to clear out the product.
>>
>>11685797
Little to none because that's an absurdly stupid idea and an absolute waste of time to make into a Haslab.

>>11686065
Those are even dumber ideas then a thirteen figure Haslab. No one cares about Zap being "too dark" except random racists, no one thinks Scarlet "needs bigger boobs" except random sexists. OG 13 Hawk is already out there in the MMS set, Retro Snake Eyes is already accurate to his OG V1 and Clutch could easily just get a Retro release.

>>11686124
Because Konami is a bitch to deal with.

>>11686139
Which vehicles have they made that haven't been popular choices? Haslabs have all been top fan picks and iconic vehicles and the main line has been chugging through all the classic smaller stuff about 2-3 per year. I think that's honestly as much as can be expected from a line like Classified who is popular with fans and collectors, but lacks the larger mass public demands from other franchises.

That said, I would love to see all the stuff you named, along side things like the Armadillo (we need more armored vehicles in Classified) and maybe something wacky like a Stun.

>>11686257
This kills me because I managed to grab that thing on Pulse at full price for the micro-second it was available and now it, and Law, are the only Classified stuff I can find at my local stores...and of course it's on sale.

And before that anon starts screeching about how that's proof the line is dead, my stores don't have ANY good figures in stock from any line. MotU is just MAA Bumblebees, Transformers just has Blur and Game Megatrons, Marvel Legends only have Nightcrawler Spidey and empty pegs, DC is just Superman movie toys and even the game aisle is rotten with Minecraft movie slop. There's a reason why 90% of my toy purchases are from online sellers these days.

Someone on this board is alleging there's Flash, Deep Six, IG Destro, and Psyche-Out are coming. Don't know if any of it is true, but that's not the first time I've at least heard Deep Six mentioned. It would be nice if he came with a SHARC.
>>
>>11687217
Flash is half confirmed. He was even supposed to come out last year, but supposedly they thought it was too much to have two laser guys in one year so he got pushed back in favor of Sci Fi.
Deep Six was the most recent name only reveal.
Psyche-Out is an easy guess since his gun came with dial-tone.
I don't remember hearing anything about IG Destro.

Yes they will. The Rattler one was made to be recolored, and the people at Hasbro know that the battle armor version is a shit figure in need of fixing to get rid of the leg pins, give it better proportions, fix the face, fix the way the glasses are on the face, and really everything. And Hasbro knows they can make money doing this.

Classified has multiple points all woven together:
-classic characters done in high-detail with altered/updated uniforms.

-classic characters done in vintage-accurate style (or close to it)

-cartoon-derived stuff like Cold Slither and retro-card Cover Girl

-real-world stuff in the "legacy" sub-line; cops, firefighters, marine snipers, etc.

Take your pick, or enjoy a mix of all of the above.

They need to really "WOW" the fan base with something really cool and figures that are wanted but unexpected.

New Reaction+ is comic book Cobra Commander, and he's packed with the first issue of the Marvel comic.

>>11690881
I'll get it if it's not stupid-priced. It would be nice if they did O-ring Baroness and others instead of just CC and Snake Eyes in almost every wave.

>>11689140
I hate you so much, respectfully.
>>
>>11690901
Whoever did that is gonna feel like a fool who pissed away a $150 figure when Hasbro releases the official one.
>>
>>11690910
Or he'll feel justified when the reissue comes out and has a significantly worse head sculpt/face print (something we've seen numerous times with repaints)
>>
>>11690933
Numerous but not always. Look at how Cover Girl's face improved with the retro card. I personally expect the same face but with green glasses and maybe a small prop or two from the cartoon to fill the blister tray because blue Baroness wasn't exactly equipped with guns in either the cartoon or the comic book.
>>
>>11690899
It's a collaboration with McFarlane, because of the comic book, so it'll likely use the comic as an excuse for charging $35 to $50. Only positive is that it looks like a fully new sculpt will likely hit retail. I kinda expect it to sell out just because it's Cobra Commander, and we've never gotten this version.
>>
>>11690956
We did. The talking battle pack CC was based on his "dress" uniform.

>>11691022
Yeah, but not his battle helmet.

>Brian Flynn said we wouldn't get a Cobra Commander or Snake Eyes in the next Reaction wave

Buy a cheap loose regular Viper and repaint it in Ghost Viper colors.

>>11691457
I really want a female version of that.
>>
>>11691457
Ollie's and Ross used to sell them for $5, but when they realized that all the scalpers were making money off of hoarding them up then re-selling them for so much as their full original retail, well there goes the prices. So yeah that price doubling is the rest of us paying the "scalper tax."

It's a good figure, and that price is probably as low as it'll go, so if you like it then you might as well grab it.
>>
>>11691457
Yes, yes you will.
>>
>>11691465
No he won't. In my humble opinion the divers have been some of the best figures in the line. The only real flaw is the total lack of boats from Hasbro.

Oh I just want to create a big muscular guy with a Cthulhu-like head, I was thinking on getting a Mezco Atticus but the current price is too much for me.

Find a cheap loose GRIM Viper. Paint the skin color in some "spectral color" like slime-green to match the head. Add glow-in-the-dark paint for added spectral effect.

No no, it's just that I already have the body in mind, it's a Romankey big guy and given the comparisons the based anon kindly shared, Crystal Ball's head will look rather small but eh, I don't mind it.

Scuba Anon here, sorry I helped derail your thread a bit. Saw two Cobra Commander retro carded on clearance today, $9.99.
Not the Trooper, but the one BBTS has for $25.99. But instead I got the Slaughter boxed with the sunglasses and barbells. It was totally worth it for those. The little mini toy is great. More toy makers should include fun shit like that with their toys.

>What strange logic. One would think Hasbro earned the MSRP
It's not strange when fans know the toys are selling so poorly that all the stock is going to end up being clearanced out and eventually showing up at discount stores like Ollies and Ross.

It's like someone who wants to be DDR4 RAM right now versus someone celebrating because they bought into the RAM one year ago before AI fucked everyone over.
Only a company who sells the product thinks they deserve the highest price. As a consumer, you always want to pay the lowest price.

So, is the toy WORTH the full price of $28......... well, nevermind. I think every single toy today is completely overinflated in price.
So let's pretend that the full price is still $20 and I DO think GI Joe Classifed toys are worth that amount. Do i WANT to pay that much every single time? nope.
>>
>>11693858
I guess what throws me off is your use of the word "favorite" where as I pay full price for my favorites and simply...don't buy figures if they're not my favorite characters. That way I save money and don't have to wait on sales. Hasbro still loses because their profit margins only look good enough if people buy over half the current roster of releases and most of every wave. They cannot rely on people like me picking and choosing a select few favorites and ignoring the rest.

Can someone put a cobra trooper head and helmet on the police figure? and post it.

of course there's a gamble... or maybe there isn't, depending on who your favorite is.

I like this one. It's a definite "buy" as longa s it's not stupid-priced. I can see the outcome now with a lot of people selling loose Zanyas on Ebay because they bought multiple Swamp Skiers for their other Dreadnoks. It also has the distinction of being the first water craft in Classified.

>>11695273
Didn't like the original and don't like this version.

>>11695275
I like their willingness to sue 1980s day-glow florescent colors (unlike Classified Sci-Fi), but the character itself is "meh." I might end up with it anyway.

>>11695277
I don't get why they feel like we need another diver so soon after the EEL and Joe/Cobra diver 2-pack, but it's a nice take that improves the original.

Day-1 buy. I like the way they kept the colors right instead of dulling them like they did with Sci-Fi. I wonder if the helmet is removable, and if so then will he have his correct hairline?

They expect you to buy this instead:

I don't have any of those, but I assume it's like the ones they're currently implementing into Black Series? They're honestly pretty shitty imo. Movement in all directions sure, but it's only by a few degrees. Ideally we'd get import style ball hinges, but they're cheap as fuck so that'd never happen. They still use butterfly joints instead of ball jointed shoulders despite introducing it years ago.

seeing this stuff really makes me think that the GI Joe line is on its last legs. It's niche as fuck, instead of making what kids want: Bumblebees, Wolverines, and Batmans.

Niche characters/designs are rarely doled out, sandwiched inbetween shit that has a big enough base to ensure a wave sells out. When everything is niche, made up of unpopular, literal whos, it's like they're dumping out whatever they had left over instead of creating the next Snake Eyes, Flint, Viper, Storm Shadow, Duke, etc.

And don't take my saying the characters are unpopular and niche as me hating on them, but they literally are unpopular and literal whos.
>>
>>11696191
>it's like they're dumping out whatever they had left over instead of creating the next Snake Eyes, Flint, Viper, Storm Shadow, Duke, etc.

Meanwhile, most people complain because there are too many of those. Especially figures like Snake Eyes. You fucks bitch just for the sake of bitching.
>>
>>11696264
Those people are morons, because these toys are being sold in children toy aisles and popular characters are what sells the most. It's how toylines stay relevant, especially since not everyone started buying the toyline day one. Lots of fans might come in later and want to buy their very first Snake Eyes or Duke this week but all they see are nobodies like Crystal Ball.

It's very easy to ignore the 1000000th wolverine and batman figure and i appreciate when they do make a Hydro or Overkill figure, but when all upcoming figures are 4th stringers that are reserved to be sandwiched inbetween popular, known characters... it's worrying.

That's not true for the actual GI Joe fanbase. The actual fans were able to name every last one of those new figures without having to have them labelled with their names.

>they literally are unpopular and literal whos.
IN YOUR OPINION as an apparent fairweather collector. Were you around for the original O-ring line? Or even the 2000s stuff up through the anniversary line? Or are you new to GI Joe, and only know the primary characters?

You're probably the same guy who said Crystal Ball was a flop because you didn't like it even though it sold out pretty quickly. You may find this hard to believe, but the fanbase does not revolve around your opinions.

>>11696264
It's different people bitching out their differing opinions. Personally I'm done with the primary characters except Baroness and Lady Jaye. It would be nice to get a proper Lady Jaye and black Battle Armor Baroness that are actually good. I don't mind Hasbro filling in the space with others, and I don't mind them throwing in modern characters like Helix and Zanya. It would be nice if they threw in a Nano-BAT, Data Viper, and Jungle Viper.

>>11696353
>popular characters are what sells the most. It's how toylines stay relevant
The line needs more variety than Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow in every wave.
>>
>>11696486
>That's not true for the actual GI Joe fanbase.
I'm not talking about the 40-50 year olds. I'm talking about a toyline in the CHILDRENS toy aisle, which requires hundreds of thousand of sales to maintain such a spot and there's no collector toyline out there meant for adults that even reaches a hundred thousand in sales.
Kids have no idea who any of those characters are, except maybe Airbourne, who was never a popular character even at the height of the franchise in the 80s.

>Were you around for the original O-ring line?
I'm older than you and a have a giant box of legs, torsos, and broken rubberbands numbering in the hundreds. I have the original Marvel comic run, IDW's collected editions, plus DD and IDW's runs.
I'm not deluded enough to think that 40 year olds make up the majority of sales and I'm knowledge enough to realize a childrens toyline needs to be popular enough with kids to sell the line. So how are kids supposed to know who most of those characters are when they're mainly obscure shit that only 40 yaer olds give a shit about them?

>The line needs more variety than Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow in every wave.
Yes, like Duke, General Hawk, Flint, and other popular characters, which is why all the figures you posted all came in waves featuring high profile characters.
Any toy company worth their spit knows how to sell children toys to children.... well, except now. And that's worrying.

sold only to adults, to maybe 10k, because adult collectors are a small niche, hence 99% of collector lines garnering 70k in sales IF they're super popular.

New one's up.

>I'm talking about a toyline in the CHILDRENS toy aisle,
The toy aisle stopped being for kids only when McFarlane had their stuff in the same pegs as everything else in the 90s, and man-children were buying up all things Star Wars.

>I'm knowledge enough to realize a childrens toyline needs to be popular enough with kids to sell the line
At current prices no toy line is really popular with kids now. That's why adults are the majority of the buyers now. Fix the economics. Make toys affordable again. Make new media or do more to promote the classic cartoons to get kids interested. If you can't do that, then deal with adults being the primary buyers.


>which is why all the figures you posted all came in waves featuring high profile characters.
They sold well because people wanted them, not because they wanted Duke and just got something else along with him.

>the childrens toy aisle in stores stopped being for kids
You're a stupid retard who can't think beyond his own snubby nose.

GI Joe fans have always seemed the most intelligent out of all the toy fandoms out there, but now there's mongs like you posting here.
I wonder what your collection even looks like.

>>11696570
>replies with insults
I sincerely doubt that you're an old-school collector with the way you dismissed well-known characters as nobodies. What I said is true: the toy aisles stopped being for kids only in the 90s because of Star Wars and McFarlane.

And you're not a buyer for any of it. That's obvious with the way you're always down on it while shitting on the releases because you certainly aren't buying the stuff you hate. So kindly fuck off and let the paying customers who do buy this stuff decide what they like.

>>11696586
Do you own the Crimson Twins?

>>11696609
Yes. Their faces are fucked-up. What about them?
>>
>>11696546
Why would you make a new thread this early? We haven't hit bump limit or image limit yet. I also don't give a fuck about the autosage and neither should you.
>>
>>11696631
oh, i was just wondering if that was your image and it's nice to hear that a snub nosed retard like yourself only started collecting GI Joe with the Classified line.

So my view on GI Joe collectors remains mostly intact. Old school fans are intelligent.

Pic isn't much proof of how old school i am, not because i posted it last month, but because i bought it recently. I don't really take out my 80s shit, because i really don't care about outdated stuff like that anymore. BUT i do think most of the vehicles hold up, hence my posting those a lot.
>>
>>11696761
I don't get it. So you're saying I'm not old school because I know all the characters for the new figures and don't see them as nobodies in a niche line? OK...............
>>
>>11696786
i remember you posting a pic of your GI Joe collection, which had the crimson Twins, and have also seen your Joytoy collection.

Tini-tiny poorfag/newfag collection.
And i know it's you, because you've been repeating the same ignorant things for months now.

here's an image i posted a while ago, at least proving I've been collecting since before the 25th started.
>>
>>11696806
Not that other dude, and I know this is a dead thread but I have to ask....how does posting a pic with toys from 2024 prove you started collecting since before 2007?

Sgt. Slaughter coming with his own action figure is a really nice touch. I wish more did that.

>>11696806
So because I'm one of the thousands who have them, you assume I'm that person? OK. You're mental. I have them but don't own any Joytoy stuff. And you have HUMMERS. Big fucking deal. That doesn't mean that the new figures are nobodies that no one wants. It's also completely irrelevant to that point, which is what started all of this.

they're not toys from 2024, i took the picture in 2025
They're from the GI Joe Vs Cobra line, which was from 2004-2006ish, 21st Century and BBI military vehicles also from the same era (which became super expensive almost immediately after they were released), plus some odd shit from mattel and china.
I WISH they released that level of quality of vehicles today, but nope, everything today is undersized, lacking in paint, lacking in features, and lacking in details. Even the $300 Haslab stuff is severely lacking compared to the $20-30 vehicles from bbi/21st Century in 2004.
pic of some other shit i took years earlier.

>got foundout he's a newfag and wants to deny its him
There's only one mong in this thread who has been making shit up about GI Joe's history and also owns the crimson Twins.
The only person who comes off as contrarian and retarded as your snub nose self is the AI faggot... or are you him too? Your tiny collection would explain why you use AI so much, because you have next to nothing to actually post.
>>
>>11697468
What shit did I make up? Do explain. You're just picking a fight because I knocked you back when you dismissed the new reveals as nobody figures. Also nice tomahawk. You can buy repro stickers for it so it doesn't look so plain.
>>
>>11697771
I just wanted to confirm that you had the Crimson Twins, since you're that mong who has no problem lying about everything, including denying you even posted your newfag collection
I can't fight with someone like you, because you'll make up endless lies just to continue arguing.

The prices are good and the quality is excellent. I've bought from them several times for Joe and G1 Transformers that needed new stickers. The only problem is it takes a couple of weeks to get because they ship from hoser-land.

>They're from the GI Joe Vs Cobra line, which was from 2004-2006ish

I wasn't talking about the Hummers, I meant the tan trucks. They are from Mattel's Jurassic World Mission Mayhem set released in 2024.

That said, I actually know you've been around for a while because >>11697468 has been around for a while. But nothing in your pic actually proves anything and it's weird that's what you offered up.
>>
>>11698042
The hummers are from ~2004-2006, so it shows i've been collecting GI Joe (and other 1:18 scale lines) for at least for 2 decades
The other pic is just to show some continuity and how I've been posting here longer than that newfag, since the photo is actually older than when the Classified line got announced.

As for the scouts vehicles, i have no idea that they were 2024. I found them at Ross for $20 last year and i bought 3 sets, because that's a pretty good deal for semi-decent 1:18 military vehicles nowadays. I'd never pay the $30 or whatever they went for originally, because there's almost no paint and is cheaply made. If I'm going to pay $30, i might as well buy overpriced used vintage vehicles, hence my buying a couple of RAGE tanks over the past year.

In general, I've been buying more old toys than new toys for the past couple of years now because of the price hikes... and because there's not a lot of interesting things to buy anymore. Am i growing too old or are toy companies not making as many masculine toys anymore?

Pic contains some space ship minis from Legend of Galactic Heroes. Back in the 2000s, there were a shit load of awesome military and space ship candy toys like these and since around 2010, they've all but stopped.

>>11697805
Really? I am not lying about anything, and you're a complete retard to assume that because I have the same thing numerous people have then I'm someone else. You're just doing mental gymnastics to twist shit around after you dismissed the reveals as nobodies that no one wants.

>>11698651
Gashpon toys ("capsule toys") are still plentiful in Japan.

except it is.
That's my Mezco Firefly, which appears in >>11696806, which has the same concrete ground and shot in the same style as >>11697468
Do you like how i try and keep a continuity with all the photos i take, to establish myself and what i collect, for well over a decade on /toy/?

If they weren't my photos, wouldn't the rightful owner be calling me out for using his photos? It's never happened, because I'm the rightful owner of these photos.

I won't call you a disingenuous retard if you can name the toy or its brand that links this pic to my other pictures

BTW, I've been posting even longer than that, but my older photos are stored elsewhere and I'm not putting any effort to find those.
