"Yo Joe June" is just in a few days. We're most likely not gonna hear about anything new until then.

No Haslab this year, what else could get you actually excited this Yo Joe June?

>>11797551
They informed as about the Classified Lara Croft

>>11797526
New rumor is 2 pack of Ninja Force Snake Eyed and new Ninja Force Jinx

>>11797617
Where'd you get that there's no HASLAB this year? GI Joe has been their consistently successful series in the HASLAB line.

>>11797617
It will be the Thunder Machine or a sea vehicle

>>11797624
The teaser appeared on both the official Tomb Raider and GI Joe instagrams. It's not a rumor. It's coming soon since this is the year of Lara's 30th anniversary, and we're already in the fifth month of the year.

I bought so many GI Joes lately

>>11797652
The hasbro leaker who posts on hisstank said so, he's almost always right.

>>11797670
Link?

I have my doubts because every Joe HASLAB has been such a success

>>11797652
Likely smaller made to order vehicles or stripped down larger ones. Like a MOBAT but without the extra addons exclusive figures or electronics. Likely why Steeler was released in that target two pack ahead of time.

>>11797686
I'd be 100% with it if it brought prices down. Adding more shit doesn't give you more for the money; it only helps to raise the price.

He's cutesy about it at first but clarifies it a bit in a follow up post.

When do all the other lines do their haslabs? Star Wars, Transformers, and Marvel. I don't think any one has had one yet this year.

>>11797693
I'm hoping that the massive Tron flop didn't ruin it for everything else.

>No tease or announcement on Memorial Day
thats kinda lame. I need a fix before Yo Joe June.

>>11797686
>stripped down
Im here for it. Give me a shells with seats and we’re good as far as I’m concerned

>>11797690
That sucks. There isn't a single Classified that "just barely made it." They've all done well.

>>11797731
Same here. I don't need clear plastic "rocket blasts and cannon-fire."

>>11797738
Guess the new Made-To-Order system replaced it

>>11797810
They could have at least said something instead leaving everyone to linger, especially after the Thunder Machine being floated for years now.

>>11797870
It's always been a fan request but never something Hasbro has specifically teased. That said I'd rather it be a $200 made-to-order item with a single figure then a $400 month long Haslab campaign with a bunch of extraneous accessories and electronics.

I mean, the lights on the HISS tank are cool and all, but I wouldn't have been upset if they didn't exist and the price of the thing had been $50 cheaper or something.

Also, the Made-To-Order system means that Haslabs could theoretically be even larger vehicles and sets since there'd be a mid ground between retail releases at $100 and Haslab releases at $400. Like, they could probably squeeze out a $200 Conquest, but if you want a Skystriker, there's no way it'd be less then $500.

>>11797690
I don't think I buy it

>>11797935
I'd prefer the Thunder Machine being around the same price as the VAMP and Stinger but with no figure, it'll sell itself without one, and releasing Thrasher as a single figure means everyone without the budget or the room for the vehicles can still complete their Dreadnoks lineup.

Make the Haslab project that Iron Grenadiers tank that Destro's Despoiler docks with.

>>11798347
There are lots of good ideas to make the line more affordable thus more obtainable, but will Hasbro go with it? They can't even do a simple repaint of a previously-released figure without retooling the hair, face, accessories, or something. Just look at how they kept the HISS Arctic reissue high by changing a ton of stuff on it. Then they sold it for $200, which was pretty much the same price as the first one minus the figures and accessories. They're not even trying to keep costs down to bring prices down.

How many non-army builder Cobras have yet to be Classified?
Voltar
Golobulus
Zanzibar
Thrasher
Cesspool
Night Creeper Leader
Interrogator
Sky Creeper
Headman
Gristle
Overlord
Is that it?

>>11798447
NTA but you read my mind. I was just thinking about this last night. Hasbro would rather die in fire than bring the prices down. Regardless of the fact that they would sell more copies at a lower price point. They seem to have subscribed to the corporatist philosophy that prices can never ever go back down ever again. It’s infuriating.

>>11798666
>Hasbro would rather die in fire than bring the prices down. Regardless of the fact that they would sell more copies at a lower price point. They seem to have subscribed to the corporatist philosophy that prices can never ever go back down ever again.
Ive noticed this too. As a 3.75 collector i truly think that was also the main impetus for hasbro abandoning the 3.75 scale seemingly out of no where ten years back. They are a very obtuse and arrogant to the point that theyd rather go bankrupt then admit were ever wrong. The only time ive ever see hasbro admit they fucked up and go back on something was the eco-friendly windowless packaging fiasco.

>>11798681
>>11798666
It's frustrating. They could sell more and make more by making everything more financially obtainable. It's like there's a stubborn pride getting in the way of economic reasoning.

>>11798689
>It's like there's a stubborn pride getting in the way of economic reasoning
I hate it too and i agree with you completely, but unfortunately thats not just a behavior that hasbro alone does. Plenty of companies are arrogant and proud to a self destructive degree. Look at warner bros constantly canceling movies and yet shareholders still wouldnt kick out the CEO at the time. Or how disney would never fire kathleen kennedy and she just left on her own volition.

>>11798691
I'm hoping that when several people quit, some of the stubborn pride went with them and the next wave of developers won't make the same mistakes.

>>11798705
Can someone give a QRD on why several high profile people at hasbro quit within the same week? I saw the news of that on other sites but wasnt using 4chan during that time. So i dont know the more juicier speculation behind that.

Is Valaverse discussion allowed or are my kind not welcome here?

>>11798712
Hasbro is moving their headquarters from one state to another. When corpos do that they tend to give severance pay to those who don't want to move. Probably everyone took the money and bailed since they knew they'd have another job lined up and wouldn't have to move their homes.

>>11798741
Go for it. It's part of military figure discussion.

>>11798749
Hopefully a lot of the arrogant stubbornness left with them, and we'll get a line that's more responsive to the fans.

If we are getting the Water Moccassin then I doubt we’d get a Moray as a HasLab this year.

>>11798347
I'd prefer that too, but I doubt you'd be able to get a good Thundermachine at that price point. $200 is enough to get a well detailed original mold with all the bells and whistles AND get a figure that's supposed to come with it.

And the DEMON is an awful vehicle, probably one of the dumbest looking vehicles in the whole line imo. I'd rather see the Moray, which is a far more iconic vehicle for Cobra and big enough to warrant the price point Haslabs are aiming for. Drop that, a Moccassin, a SHARC and Devil fish and you got your "theme" for the year in sea vehicles.

>>11798447
With the way the prices of everything sky rocketed over the past few years, having the HISS tank actually keep a similar price point IS very much an act of keeping prices "down". Honestly, I prefer slight retools and tweaks to figures and vehicles as opposed to just straight repaints, helps the new stuff feel fresh and unique. Cut seeing as we're getting the Ferret and Flight Pod again in a third color scheme is them doing exactly what you ask in just making straight repaints.

>>11798691
Due to the magic of tax fraud, cancelling a finished movie somehow actually makes the company money in the long run. So that's not a flaw of bad leadership from Warners, but a feature of someone who cares about short term profits over anything else.

>>11798681
Hasbro wasn't wrong to abandon the smaller scale stuff, they cost just as much as the 6" figures to make but people expect them to be way cheaper to buy. Also, I miss the windowless full cardboard boxes. The plastic tray is the bane of my existence as a toy collector and is always the least fun experience of dealing with new figures. Also the new boxes are boring as shit.

>>11799274
>Hasbro wasn't wrong to abandon the smaller scale stuff,
Hasbro was wrong though, they stabbed their dedicated collector base of 3.75 figures in favor of going to a shittier scale
>they cost just as much as the 6" figures to make but people expect them to be way cheaper to buy
I dont buy that bullshit excuse either. I really dont think the boss fight studio fags who started that theory were entirely sincere about 6 inch figures costing the same as 3.75 figures to produce.

>>11799311
Star Wars TVC cost nearly $30 a pop and come with way less gear, details, articulation and paint then a Classified figure for the same price. Hell, Hiya's Joes are near $40, and they're just mini-classified half the time. And it wasn't just BFS that made that claim, multiple companies have made a similar claim, which is why we see such a push to 1:12. Any decently made 1:18 figure is pushing $30 these days, some go for $60+ from some of the more independent companies who do better figures but smaller runs.

And no one got "stabbed in the back". The ME stuff had a great run, but slowly died out until it's last supporting retailer got merc'd by venture capitalists. They tried to bring it back with Wal-Mart for a hot minute, but Wal-Mart is a shitty company to have an exclusive line with and it wasn't "budget" enough for their tastes so it got the axe too.

Nobody cares what you believe or not, the truth is the truth.

>>11799311
>>they cost just as much as the 6" figures
that makes no sense

>>11799311
>in favor of going to a shittier scale
1/12 has advantages over 1/18 though. You get more detail, better articulation and sturdier joints just by virtue of being 50% larger. Sure it makes larger vehicles impractical but if you're more of a character-focused collector it's arguably better.

I'm so excited for Lara, guys, I'm opening myself up to inevitable extreme disappointment at what they end up revealing.

>>11799066
They're using AI to replace the people in the middle, not the bottom. It's almost as if they want the whole world to be 3rd-world with a wealthy class, a massive poverty class, and absolutely nothing in between.

>>11799069

>And the DEMON is an awful vehicle
Even back then I was confused on the logistics of a tank that flies because even as a kid I knew that tanks are heavy as hell.


>>11799457
You also get fewer figures and vehicles with both at higher prices than the smaller-scale stuff. In 1985 $150 bought you a 7-foot aircraft carrier. Today it'll pay for half of a 2-foot HASLAB vehicle.

>>11799484
I don't think it'll suck. I just want more than her basic outfit. I personally feel like her Nevada outfit with the army pants would be a better fit within GI Joe instead fo the OG outfit with shorts, but I know that's not what we're getting. I'll still end up with it anyway as a huge TR fan.

>hasbro shamelessly started sabotaging 3.75
The cartoon colors were awful. The plastic was noticably different. Metal rivets were replaced by plastic. The faces were painted weird. Overall they were a lower quality, and at $20 each that was inexcusable.

People waited decades for a reissue of V.1 Cobra Commander, which was one of the ones Hasbro lost the original mold to. Hasbro finally decides to make a new one, and what they produce with it is so shoddy that somehow the Black Major knock-offs are better quality. It's a damn shame. The original is just too expensive for casual or less-than-well-off collectors, and the retro reissue is just too.............well it looks like a fake when mixed in with regular original Joes.

>I wouldnt even be so bitter about 6 inch figures if the industry didnt ruthlessly obliterate all the other scaled lines to make 6 inch the dominant scale. If it was just simply a side line id be fine, but the fact that basically every company within the past ten years decided to focus mainly on 6 inch figures just makes me sad.
It sucks, I agree. That said, between 1/12 being more economically viable (similar partscounts to 1/18 but people will pay more for them) and just more popular, it's kinda inevitable, especially given the global economy. Thanks Obama!
...No, seriously, it was around the recession that 1/18 started taking a back seat and toy companies started being more penny-pinchy if memory serves, though Israeli puppet: orange flavour hasn't been helping much, not, admittedly, that I can think of any postwar US president that HASN'T been a blatant uniparty stooge who puts the whims of a hostile rogue state over his own people, but I digress. Point being I don't entirely blame toy companies for abandoning 1/18, even if I think it sucks. On the plus side 1/18 isn't totally dead; Hiya and JoyToy make some pretty decent stuff these days.

>>11799837
Doesn't really matter now. Hasbro has settled in with the classified form.

More rumors:

An arctic Stinger
A desert Vamp with tan Clutch
The Cobra Fang
Ninja Force Snakes Eyes and Jinx
Retro Flash
Retro Ripcord

And yet I hear no rumors about the Polar Battle Bear. That should be a shoe in.

>>11799994
PBB is one of those like the Firebat that should have been done by now. I have my doubts about arctic Stinger and Vamp because the last one couldn't sell at $75 and ended up at Ross clearance.

Supposedly its Night Force Scoop.

>>11799493

Destro's helicopter tank is the Dominator. The DEMON is the one that elevates.

>An arctic Stinger
Makes sense as a companion piece to the Arctic Hiss and Snowcat.

>A desert Vamp with tan Clutch
Eh, would rather see a tan AWE, though I guess if it's a VAMP 2 it would work. But still, getting four repaints of that thing is a bit much. Especially if we get two in one year.

>The Cobra Fang
Kind of expected, should be simple and neat.

Meh, I've no interest in Ninja Force stuff unless they drop the bike.

Yea, these aren't surprising.

I gave up watching his stuff because he was insufferably arrogant and obnoxious. It became a chore to watch his videos even when he covered a rare topic I was interested in. I just avoid him altogether now. Same thing for a few other youtubers, their personalities are just not pleasant to watch. Same for that charisma-vacuum brown kid that went from youtuber to presenting for the Star Wars Hasbro streams. I do like Hasbro's MrStevie, but even he can be just a bit too over the top and cringey sometimes, but at least he has enthusiasm unlike those chucklefucks from this weeks SW stream.
>>11800906
>He's hated cause he's super left wing and used to post about it constantly when people just wanted to follow him for toys/nostalgia content.

>>11799311
>6 inch figures costing the same as 3.75 figures to produce.
They pretty much DO though. Labor costs the same regardless of size. The plastic difference is possibly a penny or so, they're buying it by the metric tons direct from cheap providers. The molds aren't drastically different and tooling costs are pretty much the same. A lot of the pricing difference is from perception of value and shipping costs. Shipping costs used to be much better before the covid gouging, but cartons of 3.75inch figures are smaller than 6inch so you can get more product in a shipping container for 3.75. There is an absolute TON of price gouging in the market, look at what the smaller companies can charge (Nacelle Toys 1/10 Star Trek figures are $28 and have more accessories than a NECA Ultimate, and their Valkris figure came in a box almost triple the size of the regular figures and included the Genesis device without raising the price! It's huge! Plastic Meatball just put out their 3.75 Labyrinth wave 2 at $15 with multiple figures on one card, accessories, more paint aps. compared to Super7 minimal accessories and $25 price). cont in next post

>>11801379
continued:
Hasbro has been talking about the price difference between 6" and 3.75 for over a decade now in so many old Star Wars and Marvel Q&A's, especially when they cited their Marvel Universe line dying because it was on the pegs next to 6" Marvel Legends, which are much larger and the price difference was minimal enough for the gift givers that they spend a little more to get more toy for their buck. There is a plethora of interviews out there, its not a big secret. Feel free to dig around. Most companies just price gouge, and lots of them claim "higher overhead" costs.

>>11801379
>Labor costs the same regardless of size.
Labor costs are dependent on how much to produce. Figures with more parts have higher labor costs because there's more steps in production and assembly. That's why Transformers are so expensive now with them having five times as many parts as a G1 does. The 3.75" Joes have fewer parts, so they're much cheaper to produce and assemble.

Plus let's not forget that Joe vehicles used to come largely unassembled, which kept costs down.

I’m starting to think we won’t get Golobulus until 2027 for the movie’s 40 anniversary.

>>11801574
I'm thinking it'll be this year's SDCC exclusive like Pythona was last year's and how the rest of Cobra-La is out there now.

>>11800864
So June 3rd is the soonest that we'll hear any news. Luckily that's not far.

>>11801596
Golobulus isn’t in any of the leaks though. That’s why I think he’ll be next year.
Especially if crowned hooded Cobra Commander is this year’s jewel.

>>11800864
Who else would they get to host it? Some ugly, whiny jackass who hates Classified, hates Super7, hates both the current and former comics, hated everyone on the Joe team, hates Hasbro as a company and never has anything even remotely positive to say about the brand?

>>11799671
Hasbro and most companies didn't move on from 1/18 because of whatever schizo nonsense you cooked up. People weren't buying them. The Market spoke and they said they don't want it. Deal with it and quit being a bitch about it.

Well shit, I actually want these sets. Sadly I won't be hitting up any Comicons this year so I guess I'll just hope they sit around for a bit like the Cold Slither set.

But with a hot Cobra chick, I have low hopes this will stay in stock for long.

When was Overlord ever in charge of Cobra?

>>11803214
Basically for one toy commercial. He was supposed to be a new cobra leader, but they never did anything with him in the cartoon or comics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2VeSJ-S4FE

>>11801745
Holy crap, didn't think we'd ever see something like this. Shame it's an exclusive, most people will only be able to get one at most.

>>11801748
This Shipwreck figure is the perfect kind of thing for a convention exclusive, a very specific to one cartoon episode variant look for a character most fans will already have the regular version of. On the other hand, a new female Cobra figure, even one that's just from one cartoon episode, is something likely to be in more demand.

>>11802349
>We also going to get a clayface Serpentor?
You mean that red monster from Mindbender's first failed attempt at creating Serpentor in the cartoon?

The age of ya ya la la na na

>>11803220
It's odd, because being a 1990 character you'd think he would have been in the DiC cartoon, but they left him out entirely, and so did the comics, all he appeared in was that ad, and a few others, plus he was a boss in one of the two Nintendo games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ILU03_Nm3I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPsyb19bzb0
Sounds like it's James Avery voicing him with his Shredder voice, or someone else doing a good impression of him.

I don't know how much of it is true, but supposedly Hasbro had originally planned to do a storyline about Destro taking over Cobra (similar to what happened in the comics around this time), and Overlord to just be Cobra Commander in a disguise and pretending to be a new guy to work his way back into a position of power. If this is true, the plan was completely dropped by the time the toy was released, and Overlord was just some new guy that was a new addition to the Cobra high command and contender for the leadership position.

I think the only thing to ever use him since was the Devil's Due comics where he was Serpentor's general, and had the backstory of being a former Russian Spetsnaz named Mikhail Derenko.

He's on my Classified wishlist, and we're running out of Cobra characters they haven't done yet, so hopefully it won't be too long.

>>11803429
Making Shipwreck convention exclusive will not only make it cost $20+ more than it should (like Pythona and Serpentor), it'll pretty much hand the supply of it over to scalpers who'll make it cost even more. That does nothing short of fucking over most collectors.

>>11803808
good thing it's a specific version of shipwreck most people won't want
and it using the same ridiculous face sculpt as the standard one
I'm getting that set for Deming

>>11803832
I'm a huge fan of the cartoon-derived stuff, and think it looks great. I justy don't appreciate them doing it in a way that guarantees fucking over the buyers with the price.

I am surprised to see that the Facebook groups are fomo’ing Ninja Zartan super hard. He’s selling out super fast.

>>11803980
yeah my day 1 target preorder was briefly on backorder but now it's not
they charged me for it over a week ago

>>11803451
Yeah Overlord has to be coming but I wonder how Classified will treat him. He won’t come with the Dictator vehicle.

>>11803992
fuck overlord, we need interrogator

>>11803992
>>11803995
Supposedly we’re getting Voltar, Zanzibar, Thrasher this year or early next year.

Still no word yet on Headman, Cesspool, Night Creeper Leader, Sky Creeper, Overlord or Interrogator.

>>11803980
A lot of people like that version of him (somehow). It's mainly because of the comic books. I do like the way he's tied to Zandar and Zarana by having the same color of hair, but I never got how going punk was going "ninja."

Crown hooded Cobra Commander will be figure of the year.
Golobulus next year on movie 40ty anniversary.
Lots of vehicle repaints:
Arctic Stinger
Vamp Mark 2 desert vehicle
Slealth C.L.A.W.
D.I.R.E. Tech Blue S.N.A.K.E. armor

New vehicles
Cobra Moccasin with gunner
Cobra Fang
Triple T with Sgt Slaughter

>>11804032
I think people just like the look or the original toy. People were barely reading the comic when Ninja Force came out.

I for one, wanted him badly. His figure was a favorite of mine as a child. When they announced the classified everyone shit on it and most of the comments were complaining about his existence. Fast forward to release day and he is almost completely sold out before noon. Currently, my major metropolitan area only has one store with 3 left. I’m sure there will probably be more showing up on shelves soon but who knows. The same thing happened with Once a Man Cobra Commander. I felt like Inwas the only person on earth who was excited on announcement day and then when he dropped I wasn’t even able to get one because it was a fiasco. Joe collectors fomo hard lol

My Ninja Force Zartan will arrive tomorrow apparently.

>>11804107
Yeah, it's frustrating how often this happens with toy fandom. Something gets announced, people loudly shit on it and nitpick it to death, then it sells out anyway.

>>11803980
I like him because he's more colorful than the original Zartans, who look bland next to all the colorful Dreadnoks released since then

That could be pretty cool.

Vala did his panel at DFW. I won't go into everything announced, but will mention that the Swarm Locust orinthopter-thingamajig is on hold. Just can't make the numbers he wants work at this time.

>>11804295
I didn't know he was planning on it. Don't care either way. I prefer the vintage with some Reaction+ mixed in

>>11804414
he's talking about ninjer zartan

>>11803992
I think the question is more whether they make the original 1990 Overlord or the 2000s Devil's Due costume, they're not likely to make a vehicle there wouldn't be much demand for. I'd like both costumes, but I doubt many people would want two versions of this guy.

>>11803995

It's OK to want both, anon. I want both.

There were at least two of us, I'm still in amazement this thing even exists.

I’m guessing Arctic Cobra Commander and Baroness will be a 2 pack exclusive

File: IMG_0475.jpg (1.4 MB)

Take a look at this. Everything in red not revealed is supposedly the following:

Final 3 of the main wave if they don’t get pushed to 2027 are:
Voltar
Muskrat
SF Road Pig

Take all this with a grain of salt but we’ll know within the next month.


The final 2 unrevealed mainline Deluxes are supposedly this year’s final legacy figure and the Dusty with Sandstorm.

The final 3 of the Retro wave this year are supposedly retro Flash, Firefly and Ripcord.

Final Target Exclusive is supposedly Ninja Force Snake Eyes and Jinx

Final Walmart exclusive is an either a new DIRE figure but we don’t know which one. Or it’s Night Force Outback.

The final Amazon/Fan Channel/Pulse exclusives supposedly are:
Stealth CLAW with pilot
Triple T with Slaughter
Water Moccasin with gunner
Marauders Mutt & Footloose 2 pack
Arctic CC & Baroness 2 pack
Arctic Stinger with driver
Vamp version II with tan Clutch
Cobra Fang
DIRE Tech blue SNAKE armor

>>11804466
>Final Walmart exclusive is an either a new DIRE figure but we don’t know which one. Or it’s Night Force Outback.

Did Hasbro snub Larry Hama and won't give him his classified series figure and has to rely on BBTS figure line? I wouldn't mind since BBTS actually has ball to make a hooded evil guy. Would have been cool if Larry was in an official GI Joe Classified box though.

>>11802485
BIG BUNDA BITCHES

>>11804744
Eh, I think just the 2cm Flak. No gear pack for the German is kind of a headscratcher, and the weapons pack is pretty eh. Someone should probably drop a dime about the 1957 decorations, so the Germans don't look quite so boring. Here's to 2028 reveals, lol.
Oh, the Rocketeer was neat. Probably better suited on the paratrooper buck, but that's just some parts-swapping.

>>11804749
I don't want any of those. I want Vala to produce more figures like that glow-in-the-dark bug guy as well as produce female soldiers that don't look like bulldog lesbians.

>>11804756
That's one thing Vala got right but Hasbro refuses to do. Hasbro's approach is to stuff the blisters so you don't need it. I'd do the opposite, lower figure prices with less in the blisters, toss in things like Slaughter's mini of himself as well as props from the comic book and cartoon, and sell "battle gear" packs like they used to. I don't think people would complain if Hasbro sold weapons packs with crates and gun racks packaged in. And it would be cool for figures that were supposed to come with vehicles to come with mini versions. Think of retro Wild Bill coming with a mini dragonfly.

Allegedly the guy responsible for the hooded cobra commander toy embargo was lorenzo di bonaventura who is mostly known as the producer for the transformers movies but he also produced the two gi joe movies also. The story goes he thought cobra commanders hood was "racist" and told hasbro to stop making toys of it and hasbro complied to stay in paramounts good graces. Funnily enough a bunch of bad gossip started coming out about lorenzo within the past year including how he was racist towards the latino directors of rise of the beasts so this whole outrage over CC's hood was all performative shit from lorenzo.

>local international toy show

Well the people from Fext hobby were there shilling their wares

Picked up escort L and data from another booth.

Man, from a smaller company this figure is great. At a minimum, it is better than NECA and McFelon. All the joints work right out of the box without breaking, have a full range of movements, and has none of these annoying soft ratchets from Hasbro.

Though they are a bit pricy when compared to your regular GI Joe Classified. They don't have that many accessories. Especially this figure. You don't have another proper close combat weapon besides the pistol. But it does have an additional joint in the torso, so side-to-side movement along with the ab crunch.

They also have the two human characters there with the exosuit and the orange bot. The human characters look kind of generic, and I don't like Orange's head.

I never had an acid rain figure before. I collect mostly 3.75 scale. But AR usually packs all sorts of goodies, bumping up the prices, so I never had one. But I think if the design is good, I might get a few more of these large acid rain figures just to play around.

File: P_20260530_154500~01.jpg (1.2 MB)

Another image from the show. The buggy is huge.

One complain about Escort L
The way they molded its right hand is kinda of weird.
You know how joes have their gun hand slightly outward so the gun looks right when pointing straight. They did not do that here. The opening is parallel to the arm and looks a bit bizarre when posing.
Some hot water can for force the hand to a somewhat ok position.

>>11804989
Those don't look bad. I don't know if it's something I'd buy because my collecting is already stretched wide with GI Joe, Transformers, Final Fantasy, and other stuff, but they look alright.

>>11804964
>he was racist towards the latino directors of rise of the beasts
That movie was directed by a racist Black guy who failed his way up the ladder, and wanted a Transformers movie that completely lacked White human heroes. The movie was officially a success even though it did like Little Mermaid remake/Mandalorian and Grogu, and claimed it was a financial success even though people in the real world reported nearly empty theaters.

>>11804466
>Arctic CC & Baroness 2 pack
This is the only one that really jumps out at me. It's a shame it'll be internet exclusive because that guarantees a bullshit price that's $20 more than it should be.

>The final 3 of the Retro wave this year are supposedly retro Flash, Firefly and Ripcord.
Firefly might be alright.

>Stealth CLAW with pilot
Please don't give it a retarded head with even-more-retarded helmet like the last one.

>>11804466
Weird how the all the last retro waves have an original Joe in them.
Zap, then Grunt, now Flash.
I guess that was Lenny and Tony trying to get them out before they left.

>>11805084
The 1982 Joes are all generic greenshirts, except for Scarlett, Stalker, and Snake Eyes. They weren't a priority because of it.

>>11805084
They know people want them if nothing else than for completion sake of the "og13" They've drawn it out as long as they possibly could to keep people invested in the line.

>>11804735
This one is the best of the bunch, but they all have weird shoulders.
>>11804737

It's still morning, The suits are waking up after a long weekend of coke, underage hookers, and golf. Give it time.

>>11805138
Don't worry, I'm sure the Lara Croft figure they're doing will get an undue amount of marketing focus and the renders for stuff people care about will be an after thought

>>11805112
>They really went with no insignias at all on these guys. Not saying I wanted swastikas planted everywhere, but something on the collar would have been nice.

Yup. Collar tabs and an EK II button ribbon at least. It looks like it has shoulder boards, dunno if they will be painted, and like I mentioned, 1957 badges would be better than nothing at all.

>pointless basic troop if they aren't making a german gear add on. Who's running around without even a hat on in wwii?
My nigga.

>>11805113
Wednesday is the first day of reveals on fanstream.
But they already gave us looks at the San Diego exclusives Fatal Fluffy and Shipwreck vs Cadet Denning.
Also told us the NYCC exclusive Lara Croft.

>>11805173
I am an invasive species into your G.I. Joe reservation and want a Lara figure more than any Joe, so to me she is due all the preferential treatment they can give her. At least it'll be fleeting, probably a one maybe two figure situation then you'll never have to worry about the crossover again.

>>11805209
I'm not opposed to the idea of a solid Lara Croft figure either, and I also think they'll probably do a standard release and then deluxe offering that comes with an ATV or something, but I'm in this shit for cobra primarily

>>11805146
1980s reference. I wonder if there are any testarossas in the corporate parking lot.

>>11805201
Lara is a con exclusive? Damn. First Shipwreck and now her. Thanks, fucking Hasbro.

>>11805209
I can only hope it does well enough to get Nevada and London Lara, which are better choices for Classified.

>>11804961
My problem with Hasbro weapons for Classified is the lack of consistency in regards to who uses what. Cobras using Joe weapons , Joes using Cobra weapons and them consistently reusing weapons that should be unique one offs. I get they have to reuse molds to keep costs low, but there should be some guns that are restricted to a specific faction or unit.

Not that Bala is better. The thing that ruins a lot of the older figures is that everyone has that ugly-ass Maxim 9. Worse yet, the holster for the Maxim 9 can't be used for any other sidearm. Also, some Valaverse weapons, like the AKs are too big. It reminds me of some of the oversized guns we got in the o-ring days.

>>11804295
>>11804333
Some people still want o-rings. Look at Operation: Recall and other o-ring lines. It's just a niche of a niche.

>>11805220
They stuff blister trays with everything they can. They can't release a vehicle without including a ton of shit to keep track of. They can't do a simple figure repaint without retooling the mold. If they're trying to keep costs down I sure as hell haven't seen it.

>>11805229
I collect both. There's no rule that says if you collect one then you're forbidden from collecting the other. The reaction+ stuff has been great, and there's still a ton of vintage that I don't have. And Hasbro always manages to throw out a Classified figure that I can't say no to.

>>11805231
Wait, are you mad they they actually pack accessories with their toys?

>>11805255
Yeah, I saw a Pixel Dan video awhile back and he profiled a bunch of them. There's a weird "pull" they have on me.

>NECA breaks

>>11805302
The prices aren't high because of accessories. It's because the CEO of Hasbro is betting that figures will sell regardless of price. Even before the tariffs they were raising prices.

>>11805231
What kind of loser gets mad that toys come with accessories? Go buy Funko Pop then you whiny cunt

Even as a child I never really saw this dude as a ninja. Just a newer, cooler Zartan that they threw into the Ninja line. This figure gets major points for his face sculpt. I really like it a lot.

>>11805351
A lot of people don't know this. Prices are not set by production costs, they're set by marketing people guessing how much customers are willing to pay. Part of all product strategy is to raise prices year over year, even if costs don't increase, just to earn more.

File: IMG_0637.jpg (1.4 MB)

One small problem; using his ab crunch split his jacket open. I don’t hate it though, I don’t think I’m even going to ‘fix’ it

Welp, get ready for $30 mainlines with less accessories boys. This is gonna be it. Hasbro greed and ultimate downfall. There's not going to be enough willing buyers with food and gas prices are also going up. Influencers already offloading their shit on their socials. Soon every release is going to be an exclusive so collectors are forced to FOMO buy. I havent preordered a mainline in over a year. Last time I did was still $22 a fig.

realistically that vehicle two pack should already be up for preorder, it's like the CLAW all over again

>>11805564
That swapable corpse head is fucking metal.

Buddy, you have no idea how much i share your sentiment
*ahem*

FUCK WALMART AND FUCK WALMART EXCLUSIVES!!!
>>11805382
Hes probably the coolest classified ive gotten since battle armor CC. Now if only hasbro would make a serpentor that is actually affordable/obtainable to a casual collector of the line like me

>>11805709
The rumor mongers say they're going to make "shirtless Serpentor." I guess we'll be finding out this month if it's true.

>>11805470
Fuck off doomwisher

>>11805564
the fuck are these proportions
he looks like a gears of war nigga

>>11805833
in case you couldn't tell, he's a guy in a big suit
he's gonna cost 45 dollars and be 7 inches tall

>>11805351
True

>>11805564
Jesus, what the hell is the story behind that alternate dead head?

Initially, I thought this was one of those bigass Star Brigade guys.

>>11806233
My guess is you can play like he died under compression of a deep dive

>>11805351
lol no

>>11806267
this one is believably a guy in a suit
the new one looks like a gorilla has to be in there to use those arms

>>11800971
Doubtful, these things are planned 1-2 years out. We will be seeing their influence for at least another years worth of figures.

>>11800876
why is there always some crying bitch? i literally don't even know who that is. what type of mental illness does it take to know every person in the world and have made one sided enemies of half of them?

>>11800864
>whoever's left on the design
who is left?

IS my prediction about GI Joe being dead after this year actually true? All they'll release afterward will be whatever is left over from when they had a design team and fill in the gaps with cheap redecos and retools?

>>11806297
Fuck you, Dan. Still not watching. The "modern audience" can support you, establishment bootlicker.

>>11806388
BMac is still there.

>>11806388
I'm feeling like GI Joe will get better with them gone. I'm feeling like next year will be loaded with character variants as well as new versions of figures that weren't done right in the first place. I'm also hoping for vehicles that got held back for the seven years so far such as polar battle bear, mocassin, firebat, thunder machine, and skyhawk.

>>11806388
the price increases are what’s gonna kill this line not the design team

>>11806435
I have to agree. As prices rise, I am forced to buy less. They can blame Trump all they want, but the line has done nothing but rise in price for the past 5 years, and they're not even trying to bring prices down. Big companies act like their pride will get hurt if they bring prices down so people can afford to buy more.

>>11806438
it’s not about pride, it’s about shareholders demanding ever increasing profits
unfortunately shareholders also don’t care if a company cannibalizes itself long term for those short term gains

Kek

>>11806575
it's the evolution of that guy who dies a little inside every time he sees rattler baroness

>>11806575
Reminds me that astronaut suit villain from Dr Who.

>>11806443
Educated businessmen know that the more you sell, the more you make. Price-pushing customers away makes you less.

>>11806695
the crown isn’t removable? Why is hasbro like this

>>11806692
>>11806700
From the waist up it's fantastic, shame they used those shitty legs/boots

>>11806702
They teased the figure by showing the crown laying by itself

>>11806692
>>11806695
>>11806697
>>11806700
What kind of exclusive is this?

>>11806692
I'll wait the inevitable puppy kicker release.

Product shots of yesterday's renders are out too. Makes you wonder what the point of wednsday's stream is.

they'll definitely show a full standard wave this month, but 1 or 2 figures at a time
and they could always announce a haslab

>>11806692

THIS IS NOT OK

>>11806702
I think they're displaying him with it on as a work around for that producer who banned the hood.

>>11806737
It’s ya boi!

>>11806737
That cape attaches some other way than the Serpent Supreme one.
