>>11665155Some Youtuber with "inside information" claims:
Someone made a 3D-printed Moccasin that's actually pretty cool. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4348871403/gi-joe-classified-cobra-water-moccasinI am holding out a little bit longer to see if Hasbro makes an official one. If they don't then at least there's a back-up plan for getting one.
>>11665162If official I hope both Water Moccasin and Thunder Machine are MTO like the Arctic Hiss Tank. I can't see either being Haslabs nor would they be similarly priced and sized to the VAMP, both have to be bigger
>>11665539The Moccasin wouldn't be that big and really doesn't have a lot to it. I don't see why it would be a MTO instead of a general release. I totally see the Thunder Machine as a HASLAB. Hasbro needs something that's still cool but won't be as expensive as the $400 Snow Cat. I can see Hasbro selling the shit out of it for around $250 - $300 provided that the unlocks are good too.
>>11665162Heartwrencher must be like what happens with Marvel Legends all the time, where a leak list has some some D-List Spider-man villain or whoever on it that sounds like bullshit but is too specific to be some wild prediction and too low tier to be a forgone conclusion and then it does end up being true
>>11665552If they just do a Zarana repaint like they've done with her before, then it'll be an easy one for them to do.
Anyonre want a Ghost Viper? It's on sale for $44.95https://www.youtube.com/shorts/r_DwDjlZIXs
>>11665538>>11665539If they could drop that Fortnite boat a few years back for $80 I can see the Moccasin coming out for $100ish today. They'd be similarly sized and the Moccasin is mostly empty plastic anyway. No reason it needs to be a MTO item like the HISS tank which has way more moving parts and detailed internals. The only real question is, will they pull a SNAKE Armor with it and not pack a driver, cram some green painted generic trooper into it and call it a Swamp Trooper, or just give us a third straight repaint of Copperhead?Also, just had a random thought. I wish the Classified HISS Tank, specifically the Arctic one, had a hatch that covered the gunner seat. Like, there should be enough room in there for the gunner to sit fully enclosed inside the body of the tank, so having a hatch up top would have finally addressed one my biggest complaints about the HISS as a "Tank". That's one of the few things the Retaliation movie did right, as it put an enclosed turret on it's HISS tanks. And then the toy comes out and despite having enough space to have an enclosed turret, it instead has the figure sit even MORE exposed then the old HISS tanks. That Toyline had this incredible ability to be both awesome and awful at the same time, often with each individual release. The ideas and sculpts were there, but the quality and cheapness of the builds just hamstrung the entire line at every turn. Except it's last wave, that wave was awesome.
>>11665716There's nothing to a moccasin. There's no reason for it to have a high price. They'd be better off selling it without a figure than making up some new "Cobra swamp viper" or some crap for it. The lack of a figure would also make it a little bit cheaper.
>>11665162I kinda don't care about a single thing here other than "Maybe raptor would be cool?"
>>11665162Nice, I came pretty close to biting the bullet on a Wild Bill last year, curious if he'll be in the blue and yellow. New Dusty will be great as well. Barring the head sculpt, he was a letdown.
>>11665770They messed up his proportions by making his arms and legs to be the same length. He just looks odd because of it. Only really short dudes have proportions like that.
I caved to intrusive thoughts at Walmart
>>11666162[Muffled Eurobeat]
>>11666166Entirely worth itDoes make me wish I had the Joe Vamp more but stillIf >>11665579 becomes real then I'd get that version too
>>11666162>>11666166>>11666218I've been tempted by this thing before but I always end up passing on it as I know I won't enjoy it unless I get those Grid Iron add-ons. That said, my own intrusive thoughts finally beat me in regards to the Arctic Hiss, P/O'd one right before the deadline. ....what tipped me over this decision was finally opening the original one and seeing how fantastic it was in hand for the first time. I won't have pics up until tomorrow, but it's a massive beast of a tank, and yet still fairly manageable due to it's compact shapes. The automatic light that turns on when you open the rear hatch is a *really* nice touch, and I almost wish it also had some sound effects to go with all the different light options. That said, I wish there were better controls for all the lights as well, but there's honestly a lot of little things the Tank did as well. I still really wish it had a turret hatch, and that the gunner platform could, if not raise and lower, at least act as a seat as well as a stand. It probably still could, and it would be fairly easy for someone to make a custom seat/stand that replaces the stock one. Hell, it wouldn't even be that hard to mod the existing stand, but I won't be the one cutting up a $350 toy set just for one nitpick complaint. Either way, there's plenty of room for the Gunner and Technician to fit fully enclosed in the tank's body. Also, opening the figures made me miss the plastic free packaging. The nice full box art work, cool little cardboard gear lockers and the fact I didn't have to fight with loud crackling plastic trays for ten minutes to get the tiniest accessory free only to launch it across my desk and into the void is such a pleasant experience. Screw nature, screw economics, I just want those old boxes brought back because they're so much easier to open and deal with. Regardless, love this damn tank and now I can't wait for it's frozen cousin.
>>11666276Slice the blister of retro-carded stuff off with a knife. When taking stuff out of the inner blister tray, don't pull the toy out of it. Get your fingers in there and push the blister tray away from it to release it. Or use scissors to cut up the blister tray to get stuff out. >>11666162It's called "impulse-buying." I've done that a few times myself.
How does this make you feel? You think we will get a HISS Tank transport module for Shredder?
>>11666554dude we get it, you made AI slopfuck off
>>11666554I hope that's not legit.
>>11666554>>11666560no one is falling for this anon in either thread
>>11666557>>11666560NTA but It's seemingly realhttps://toynewsi.com/216-61246
>>11666563>outlets are falling for obvious AI slopgrim.
>>11666563Shit. Instead of getting the tiger force Dragonfly I've been patiently waiting for, we get this?
>>11666563why does playmates think vehicles work at retail but hasbro doesn’t?
>>11666582Because Hasbro always goes overboard with adding tons more shit than what something really needs, like "blast effects" off the asses of rockets and all sorts of details that may look cool but is just more shit to put into ziplok baggies and store away. They openly refuse to try to make vehicles affordable. Everything has to be done overkill, then the costs passed on to the customers. Just look at how they turned SNAKE armor into a mecha suit. The Arctic HISS should have been more minimized to bring the price down, but NOPE they go in the opposite direction to keep the price up.
>>11666599It pisses me off because Mcfarlane has made a ton of Batman vehicles for a larger scale, at way less than what Hasbro charges, and they're perfectly fine. All for a larger scale line.
>>11666621Because McFarlane makes cheap, hollow pieces of shit. The Tumbler is like twice the size of the Vamp but feels like it has half the weight. Classified actually makes *good* toys, and you pay for the quality.
>>11666276God I wanted a Hiss Tank and just couldn't back it originally and the Artic one isn't appealing to me too much but I also just did not have funds for itThis is so good tho and I can't stop messing with itI planned to do stuff today and with this shit >>11666554 >>11666563 shown I'm more inclined to finally tackle unboxing my Dragonfly and doing pics once Roommate isn't passed out and I have room to put some stuff so I can clear deskMan these really do look like AI SlopI know Hasbro is supposedly getting TMNT as apparently NOT getting renewed by Playmates for the first time since the 80's apparently but this just looks badI'm tired of constant crossover slop>>11666582Because Playmates Vehicles DO work at RetailHasbro constantly does things way too expensive with filler shit to fluff/justify price
>>11666557Eat shit Mr silver spoon up your ass. Poor people have every right to make and post AI toy pics
No they don'tShove your slop up your ass and get fucked already
>>11666866Who the fuck put you in charge? If you don't like a post then you can always hide it. It's that simple. For realsies it totally is.
>>11666554>>11666563this seems like a proof of concept -at best- considering that copter wouldn't fit those figures and it's name and info on the mock box is just awful.
>>11666826The McFarlane stuff is fine, and is made the same way vehicles were made since at least the late 70s. Yeah the Hasbro stuff has more to them, but they also cost a hell of a lot more.
>>11666554>>11666563>6 inch figures >redco of a 3.5 inch helicopter >Ralph holding a massively scaled down nerf gunLike >>11666923 said if this isn't just some early April fools prank it's just them pitching the idea with hasty mock up edits.
>>11667070Toy-makers themselves are probably using AI for instant visualization of ideas. It's useful for that. I already said that we're not far away from being able to send AI renderings to 3-D printers, and I really do believe that
Piss offWe're talking about funny military doods
>>11667086There's nothing funny about war, boy.
>>11667115anyone have that one video of a russian soldier laying the snowy ground after they got bombed, with dead soldiers all around who are on fire?The last alive soldier crawls to the nearest flaming dead body and spreads his arms over his dead comrade's flaming body for warmth. This goes on for about 30 seconds, before the ammo and explosives on the flaming dead body cooks off and explodes.
>>11667176What the fuck is wrong with you?
Finally unboxing the Haslab DragonflyOf course the little Manual doesn't say, but for those that own itThis is another fucking "One way connection" for the tail isn't it?So if I pop the tail in it's just in
>>11667313>Noticeably broken section BEFORE I EVEN GOT TO TOUCH IT fresh out of box
>>11667331>Literal crushed in Connector on the Co Pilot Window>Stressing in the clear window hinges before I even tried to open itDespite that this is pretty basedI'll try batteries and some other pics tomorrow but so far I'm pretty happy with it but maybe it's me and my standards but ANY QC issues to me are entirely unforgivable and unacceptable. For a "Premium" Crowdfunded Item especially at fucking $300 I expect this shit to actually fucking have effort in itI may still end up just reboxing it after pics and clearing itLike I want it but holy shit it's almost insulting with the issues
>>11667488I don't know why, Maybe it's the hat but I thought he was a Sgt Slaughter at first
>>11667079Whats ai about these? They look man made
>>11667331You bought it off of eBay, didn't you? New isn't always "new" there.
>>11667490I'm really hoping for a tiger force reissue made cheaper by losing the lights, blast effect, and other stuff. Minimize the sticker sheet too unless they sell it at a price that'll allow people to get more than one.
>>11667313I popped it in then when I stored it away I popped it back out but I was afraid it was going to break so i keep it displayed with the tail not clicked all the way in.(Please excuse my dust)
>>11667530I got it off Haslab, Just waited a year to unbox lol>>11667726Would be cool, I do like this but the QC genuinely pushes me to just wanna take pics and then clear it out>>11667771Yea I saw somebody say on the right side you can pop wing out and unscrew that screw there and it loosens the body enough to just pop tail out apparently
