>>11769249Hasbro is attenting a convention in Mexico this weekend, and we'll see if they do any new reveals.
>>11769253I think they did most of their reveals yesterday.
>>11769264Did they show anything besides verbally saying Grand Slam is coming?
>>11769249You forgot the Arctic soldiers 3 pack under unknown release date
>>11769337You're right. I'll get it right next time. Plus the Snowcat should be releasing in 2 - 3 months, and maybe the Arctic HISS too.
Still a lot more reveals for the year.
Whatever happened to these niggas?
>>11769456No release date yet.
>>11769456They're still coming. Fucked if anyone knows when >>11769421How come no one can ever get a clear picture of the release list? Why does Hasbro fuck with people wanting to give them money like that?
>>11769421Retro card Roadblock please
>>11769538with Ma Deuce
>>11769538This, also Snow Job and Doc. And Serpentor but they need to go back to the drawing board with him
>>11769603>And Serpentor but they need to go back to the drawing board with himserpentor is still easily in the top 3 of this whole line
>>11769538I think roadblock already has a great figure, the heavy artillery version is pretty spot on imo. I'd enjoy a star brigade roadblock though, that'd be fun.
>>11769249What is your obsession with starting new threads? There's currently 4 GI Joe threads.
I wish the retro Lady Jaye had more reddish brown hair. Not Scarlett red obviously but not mud brown either. That's how I remember her being drawn in the comic
Do these instantly sell out? Should I preorder Zanya if I want her?
>>11769776they only ever sell out of they're exclusive to walmart or target, and sometimes pulse (but not as often)zanya is available everywhere, I doubt she'll sell out
>>11769538With HA RB still going for only $50 in ebay. I'd say make the retro RB version 2 to go with I was once a man CC.
>>11769780Big vehicles if they're Pulse exclusive I missed CLAW
>>11769776They don't seem to sell out quite as fast as they used to. The line has been much better about getting enough product out for people. It's not like when the whole thing first started.
>>11769681You can't stop me
I guess it might be delayed if it's listed for July everywhere else, but my order of Dr. Whatever and his Raptor is still on track for May 4th along with Zanya
>>11769857on Amazon, I should've mentioned
>>11769538>Retro card Roadblock pleaseThis, but a retro card version of 1986 Roadblock. Heavy Artillery Roadblock is a great version of the original already outside of having a different weapon.>>11769619I think they only way they could improve Serpentor is with a single-piece head sculpt. A single-carded release is overdue for everyone who missed him though.
>>11769857I got the release dates off of Hasbro's site. That may not necessarily be the same as the dates retailers get and ship them.
>>11769970Hasbro's dates are all screwy anymore anyway
>>11769955>A single-carded release is overdue for everyone who missed him though.Or couldn't afford it. That's probably what the rumored "shirtless Serpentor" would be.
>>11769769I'd be happy with the one we got if it didn't have such a shitty face sculpt.
Got me a night viper. He’s sick. I like him a lot. The Robocop gun is an interesting touch. Does anyone know that the things on his left thigh are? Grenades or rockers or something?
>>11770212I think the "consensus" is that they're flares. Could be anything you wanted them to be, though. RPG booster motors, demo charges, seismic sensors. They were canisters on the ARAH figure, but since it didn't have the benefit of a Battle Corps release, we never got any kind of explanation.
>>11770243Having flares going off in the night vision scope would blind you. They're probably just busy-work nothing that's just there to add detail.
>>11770255> hey're probably just busy-work nothing that's just there to add detail. Tell me you have no imagination without telling me.
>>11770286If you want to pretend that they're the one thing that can cripple a night-ops troop then go for it.
>>11770212When I was a kid I always thought they contacted extra scopes.
>>11770289...Or maybe they just use the flares in a situation where they don't have the night vision on.
>>11770289I never suggested they’re flares. I said grenades or rockets. Better than “busy-work nothing” you came up with
>>11770298It's easier to imagine them as bars of C4 for sticking on a wall then bugging out to remote-detonate. Cobra is a terrorist organization after all.
>>11770296Or flares for distracting NightForce?L
>>11770296Yeah or that too.
They look like they have a cluster of tiny missile at the top end
>>11770212He is one my favorite vipers. You guys think low light could handle some night vipers? I'm sure he could one on one but what if there was an issue where low light was pinned down a bit?
>>11770461It's not exactly accurate to the comics or the cartoons generally speaking, but I always think of a specialty Viper as being a high tier threat that completely derails a missionLowlight would inevitably kill the Night Viper, but it would be a protracted battle and it would ultimately fuck up whatever he was supposed to be doing
>>11769456I hate that these guys are just straight white repaints. It would've been a much nicer set if they did some frankensteining of them to make them more wintered up. Maybe use some Snow Serpent parts on the Saw Viper to give him fur gauntlets, or give the Night Viper Snow-Jobs snow pants. Something to make them not just a straight recolor. The old Extreme Conditions sets from the 25th did it real well, especially the Vipers from the Arctic set. New, unique builds, but instantly recognizable as a Viper.>>11769803Surprised this hasn't been done in all honesty. It's an easy figure to drop and I'm sure he'd be very in demand with out hard the HA RB was to get. >>11769681Nobody cares. This board is slow as shit.
Couldn't quite get all the paint off the knees with just sanding, but it looks better than before I'd say. Also got around to the Snake Eyes leg swap that I've been meaning to do forever.
>>11770496Lowlight needs a spotter. I'd assume Shooter would do well, and they could counter snipe those snake bitches with a little planning. I picture Lowlight as the miserable Solid Snake kind of guy, no nonsense and a knack for surviving in the dark. His origin story is his dad was rough and abused him, even left him in a junkyard as a kid with a rifle. Lowlight came back with a bunch of dead rats and some swag. He lost his fear of the dark many years ago, is frosty on the trigger and to me is one of the scariest Joes next to Snake Eyes.
>>11770583except night vipers are one of the ones with ridiculous and nonsensical training regimens where they work in total darkness when not on missions, they live like nocturnal beasts
Do you think D.I.R.E. Tech will make it into the Skybound comics, I think it could, including Cobra-La kind of set a more fantasy tone early
>>11770613>>>/co/
>>11770613It's probably meant to be a big nothing so as a Walmart exclusive it doesn't take away from the overall line for those unable to get it. I just wish that it stayed consistent, and wish the night creeper was in "team colors" with the other two.
>>11770650has crystal ball been introduced in the new comics?they really should, he's badass now
>>11770681Probably not. He really was a hated character, and is considered one of the absolute worse original ARAH figures. The fact that Hasbro found a way to make such a shit figure into one of the coolest in Classified is an impossibility that they somehow managed to pull off.
>>11770557Did you do something to Duke's eyebrows or is it's just lightening and camera angles? That is the original retro carded head, not the new (250th) one, right?
>>11770557Your Snake Eyes looks like a fat dude in that picture
>>11770461At the end of the day, it's your headcanon. I like my Cobra on the highly competent side of the street, so Low Light might make it to the EXFIL, but he might not longer be fit for service.
>>11770711>At the end of the day, it's your headcanon.I really wish that more than the retro figures had filecards to flush out their stories.
>>11770740Yeah, that's one of the shortfalls of the Classified line, physical file cards. Hell, a write-up on the box, even.
>>11770696Original retro head, no mods. >>11770709Too many fudgy bars I guess
>>11770782They can throw in trading cards with characer bios on back. That costs nothing to produce and include, and their WOTC division can confirm they make billions off of cheap cardstock. They can stoke the collectibility of them with random shit like holofoil cards.
I know amazon coupons aren't universal, but you may want to check. Just ordered the Sarge and Mercer set for $42
>>11770813I won't buy off of Amazon just on general principle.
>>11770802As a trading card dork in my youth, I wouldn't mind that.
>>11770822Neither would I. It's such a cheap and easy way to not only include bio-cards, but also to stoke the collecting. Personally I'd rather have a card than a blister full of more than non-essential accessories.
>>11769249Why I don't collect Classified:The change in scale and the loss of the exaggerated cartoon aesthetic that made the o-ring figures so cool. It's too much of a departure from what I collected as a kid to fuel the nostalgia needed to motivate me to want them. Also, the more realistic styling of Classified makes me realize just how simple and boring many of the character designs are. For example, Lady Jaye is just a gal in a green army suit and a ball cap. Beachhead is just a dude in a balaclava mask and camo pants. Too generic to justify paying $30.
>>11770876>lady jayewho cares?cobra has always had and always will have the better figures
>>11770876Who let you out of your containment thread?
