Is Dawn Moreno a femcel?
>>11782077She's a simultaneous race-swap and gender-swap. I don't have a clue as to why they did that.
>>11781954Joe team members so far have went to boss fight studio because they can work remotely
>>11782116Larry Hama hates that he made Snake Eyes white, despite the whole point is he was an outsider everywhere he went. He's also a plagiarizing perv, hence she's basically Psylocke with the whole possessed japanese girl thing.
>>11782146Well it's too late to complain now. As far as plagiarism goes he based his howling commandoes on Marvel's SHIELD.
>>11782006I want these in Classified to go with this.
>>11782156That would be cool, especially for Cobra's "DIRE tech" division with glow-in-the-dark clear plastic instead of the semi-dark green with black paintwash.
>>11782181Yeah I got this guy to go with future DIRE figures too. There was a sale where he was $47 and came with another one of these >>11782156
Also got a dinosaur for Darklon to ride.
dead line. all the designers left lol
>>11782341Yeah ie joever
>>11782185
>>11782341Or it means a new team will bring in fresh perspectives. Besides when given the lead-in time we won't see the effects of those who quit for another year.
>>11782006The rumored list is bigger than what's left for them to do for the year, so IF it's accurate then it's stuff planned well into next year.
>>11782611>thinking there will be a new team and Chris Cocks isn't getting rid of everyone so he can turn Hasbro into a 100% video game AI slop companylol
>>11782705I doubt that's happening. It's too late for them to get into gaming. It now takes upwards of $200 Million+ and up to a decade to produce one game now. Their chance to dig in and establish themselves as a serious gaming company ended two decades ago. And would they risk trying it now that gaming is dying, and not as massive as it used to be?
>>11782611>>11782705>>11782341I told you all I cursed it when I discovered the Rattler Baroness and none of you believed me.
>>11782719You didn't curse shit. That mold was made to be re-used in the classic colors. You're just impatient. They already said that they won't do re-releases until a year has passed. It hasn't been a year yet.
>>11782720>re-releases It’s a very interesting move by Hasbro, the fact that they have not done a straight reissue of a single thing from this line. Only recolors.
>>11782738Rattler Baroness is in the wrong shade of blue, so a repaint is expected with a re-release. Different accessories, too. And I don't think they accidentally made her glasses yellow instead of the correct green.
If the line dies, I'd say it had a decent run. 25th anniversary to Retaliation lasted about the same amount of time.
>>11782861Maybe the new people coming in will stop the pattern of "YOU HAVE TO BUY CRAP YOU DON'T WANT IF YOU WANT THE LINE TO LAST LONG ENOUGH TO GET WHAT YOU DO WANT" bullshit.
>>11782719https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX5okyTBxZ0This guy was selling his extras for $30
>>11782711>gaming is dying
>>11782891It's not on the same level of success it was at 10 - 15 years ago.
>>11783061the PS2 was the last perfect video game console with a perfect library of gameshowever this same argument does not apply to action figures
>>11783063Someone's arguing that Hasbro is going to dump toys for games. I don't see that happening because it's too late for them to get their claws into the market.
>>11783061>>11783063>gaming is dyingwhy do you faggots lie this much its doing fine, its the big corpos finally getting their asses kicked while indies are doing great
>>11783078>while indies are doing greatYeah, primarily by replicating shit from 2006 that big companies used to makethe novelty of retro survival horror games for example applies more to people who never actually played them
>>11783084and? what are you expecting from video games do you need big budget sloppa? tetris is a 40 year old game and many people still enjoy playing that games dont need to innovate or big a big wow factory for legacy media they just need to be good and simple much like toys, retard>the novelty of retro survival horror games for example applies more to people who never actually played themwow theres children born every minute discovering FNAF how terrible
>>11783086>and?video games were brought up as a comparative argument and it's not comparablethe specifics don't mattergaming was better 20 years ago, action figures weren't
>>11783088>honestly? video games are over as we know it, its a crying shame theres no more bing bing wahoos or epic beautifully told masterpieces much back in the good ol days. and action figures? theyre only now getting good once theyre shrugged off the 4 inch faggotry for a kino supremo six incherino kinoholy shit you're a fucking faggot and can't appreciate anything can you? gotta consume the same old same old sloppa you grew up with no wonder gi joe is a dead brand
>>11783090>big long greentext paragraph that no one said>reddit spacing
>>11783091you're a dumb faggot and can't specifically pin point the problem with gaming when its doing fine and indie games have no issue finding their niches while the big boys get rightfully fuck over by stop killing games
>>11783094>can't specifically pin pointI did though. Heartworm and Signalis were okay (if tranny coded) but not as good as Silent Hill 2 or 3, which are sitting on a shelf right beside my toys.However, unlike those video games from the 2000s, my action figure shelf has a Daredevil figure from 2 years ago, and not the one the spider-man classics line, released around the same time as those aforementioned video games
>>11783088>gaming was better 20 years ago, action figures weren't I have to agree with that. And both were cheaper so they were more obtainable for casual fans.
>>11783096>I did thoughyou're crying about games dying because of horror and how one niche is doing fine and has a plethroa of choice holy shit you are a dumb fucking retard, and even robo dont know has tubs show casing how toybiz action figures of marvel characters in 2005 are no different than today jesus fucking christ you six inch faggots are brain damaged and entitled and can't stop shitting yourself over hasbro rightfully fucking themselves over thinking anyone cares about live service games when marvel rivals is doing just fine without american intervention that bans anything sexy in gaming
>>11783099>i have to agree because im a fucking retard and pay for games and dont know how to torrent
>>11783100>you're crying about games dyingNo, you're crying as the initial mention of video games "dying" was a sarcastic whataboutism made (apparently) by redditor who creams over indieslop, and now you're upset that specific post is being reappropriated into a genuine pointa point which you've failed to argue againstvisual aid provided
>>11783107>a point which you've failed to argue against>you need to own a physical item of boomer slop on console slop to prove signalis and dark deception are bad games because im a stupid fucking boomer and cant appreciate anything outside of my spheres of intereststray was a good game too but I guess it needs to be on ps2 to be good
>>11783111>names games that are based on games from 20 years ago as an example of why modern games are good
>>11783112>hurdur im a stupid fucking gi joe faggot and see everything as a remakeAmericans sure a fucking retarded no wonder trump is their president
>>11783113>gi joe thread>uses liking gi joe as a pejorativeyour indies are sloppy seconds and nothing moreeven rebooted joe figures can ascend higher than their original counterpartsbut indie games based entirely on resident evil or or quake or final fantasy 7 through 10 cannot
>>11783107>dying" was a sarcastic whataboutism made (apparently) by redditor who creams over indieslop,yea indie games are better than big corpos with no soul behind the games they make>>11783117oh wow a retarded faggot needing the same BRAND iconography and can't appreciate games that are influenced by what came before must suck to be this much of a fucking retard, what game did stray copy?
>>11783118>what game did stray copy?I don't know, I didn't play it. It looked reddity, and you're certainly not a great spokesperson for it.Why are you so mad about this, by the way?
>>11783120why are games dying? because youre a grumpy old man and cant appreciate what new interesting game someone made that homages something else? must suck to have autism and not appreciate bobby vala's action force toys
>>11783122>new and interesting homageoxymoron>must suck to have autism and not appreciate bobby vala's action force toysyou're correct, I don't like those figures, I only ever bought 1 as a test case
>>11783124>new and interesting homage>oxymoronfunny given classified is just remake slop for boomers, but i guess games are dying because the big boys dont know what to do and rely on nostalgia to retards like yourself
>>11783125>funny given classified is just remake slop for boomersexcept when you remake an action figure from 20 to 40 years ago, it's better typically in an objective sense if not also stylistically>and rely on nostalgia to retards like yourselfso now it's AAA relying on nostalgia and not the indie market a new "classic" survival horror game every other week?
>>11783128nah its indies kicking ass and showing the big boys how its done, which is why boby vala is doing better with valaverse than hasbro is with gi joe
>>11783129I appreciate the moxy, but no.
>>11783129>>11783125>>11783122>>11783118post your toys
>>11783132gi joe six inch sucks, four inch is better
>>11783136post a "4 inch" baroness that isn't uglyI'll wait
>>11783137honestly anon? mattel is gonna straight up make lazy slopparino six inch figgers for dc and even mcfarlane offered something new with his seven his scale and even made cyborg from teen titans and red and blue superman
>>11783138that's not what I asked nor is it even relevant
>>11783140just straight up heckin lazy sloparino video games are dead am I right fellow epic gamers crimson desert just straight up sucks another sloppy game
>>11783142Crimson Desert is a worse version of Dragon's Dogma 1, yes, but that's also not relevant.Now post a 3.75 inch Baroness figure with a pretty face.
>>11783143
>>11783184unfortunately, that baroness is ugly
>>11783186If you're a bitch, sure.
>>11783188sorry, we live a world of 6 inch baronesses now
>>11783192I like both scales. The smaller scale works better for vehicles. >>11783184It's like Hiya saw the embarrassing one Hasbro did for the 25th anniversary line, and took the "retard" out of it.
>>11783107I really wish Hasbro had taken GI Joe games seriously. All their games are shitty arcade-types when they should have gone in the same direction Metal Gear Solid/Splinter Cell/Syphon Filter/others went with.
>>11783374yeahIs that snake eyes game even still in development? I'd take a a b-tier character action game where you play as him.
>Glorp turned the entire thread into an argument without ever posting a toy. Again.
Last thread was comics. The one before that was cartoons. Now it’s vidya. He will start a discussion about ANYTHING except toys. In the next thread we should argue about GI Joe party supplies. Oh wait..nevermind that would still require his broke ass to buy something. If he can’t pirate it for free he can’t discuss it
>>11783464There isn't a lot to be said about the toys that hasn't already been said a million times before. We're in a holding pattern until "Yo Joe June." And why is a greenshirt leading the charge, and the MOBAT in the wrong color? Why isn't the tank in front to provide cover for the troops?
>>11783487Kid me always assumed the featured green shirt in all the original art was Duke before they gave him a unique look. I don't remember there being any basis for this at all though.
I just bought 2 more Royal Guards at full price and I feel like a nasty dirty bitch whore for it. I was obsessing over them. The most insane part is I really want to go back for the last two. But no. I refuse to buy any more of them at full price. Especially since I don’t like ANY of the extra parts.
>>11783569If they made as many as the scorpion you wont have to worry If they did as much as Hit & Run you might be fucked
In my area I am seeing regular restocks of the Action Solider but not the Royal Guards.
>looks up Hit & Run >he’s selling for $60 I actually just found him last week. I guess I’m glad I grabbed him even though I don’t even like him much. Why is he going for so much??
>>11783644No clue. He was one I skippedd on because I was sure he'd clearance out, and now I've missed out on him. Never thought he'd be that popular of a figure.
>>11782676I really think the HasLab will be the Thunder Machine.
>>11783666That's been the rumor for a year now. Hopefully we'll find out at next month's yo Joe June. >>11783644>>11783661Because he's realistic-looking, and just looks cool as hell.
>>11783644Realistic sells He's cool looking Maybe even understocked due to them thinking Action Soilder would split sales
Hit & Run’s biggest issue is his proportions. His legs are way too long. Secondly he has a dorky face. Thirdly for all his “realism”, his face paint is not applied correctly. Even if it was that dosent change the fact they put a brown splotch right by his mouth that makes it look like he just finished eating literal shit. Honorable mentions:>awkward goggles as always >Weird web gear with a slot for a extra magazine that he of course dosent come with >questionable knife choice >pistol is too long >fuckhuge holster >rifle has no front sight >backpack is whatevs >another missed opportunity for cool climbing gear
>>11783748Scalpers saw he was the first to sell out and bought up stock. Impatient idiots pay scalper prices instead of preordering it at the usual online retailers.
>>11783896That picture makes his legs look disproportionately short.
>>11783896>His legs are way too long. Do you have a more straight-on photo? He looks pretty alright there. Maybe it's more egregious in hand?>readcomiconline.li is downFuck. That's annoying. Anyone know any good alternatives that have the old Marvel GI Joe comics? Was enjoying reading them.
I can’t put my finger on *exactly* what is wrong here but he just felt wrong straight out of the box. I like Beachhead’s proportions. You can see some places where H&R is totally different. He’s basically a lanklet. He’s super skinny but look how much higher up his elbow and shoulder end up being. He just looks strange to me. Strange in the same way they made my boy Mainframe a manlet. It just feels off, like it was done by accident not on purpose. Idk
Sabre Tooth is badass. I want expecting to like him as much as I do
I’m also really enjoying Starduster. He reminds me of the Super Sonic Fighters Falcon I always wanted and never got
>>11784514It definitely felt like it was done by a totally different sculptor, but I didn't mind it. And he's a runner, so being a lanklet kinda makes sense. I do hate Mainframe's size though, felt like a bad call
>>11783896I like how between him, the Marine Jumper, the Marine Sniper and now the Spec Ops agent, you could build a four man fireteam of face painted, green camo suited special forces. >>11784514I don't mind the wildly different body sizes and proportions personally. Kind of gives each figure their own distinct build, which helps them feel less repetitive as figures. It's also more natural to have different people have wildly different heights, builds and proportions.
>>11785062Different heights and builds makes them more realistic.
>>11785413YeahBucks have brain broken people
>>11785755No. Hit & Run just has terrible proportions because the design team is inept. Look at his t-Rex arms lol. But his arms aren’t actually too short it’s his legs are way too long. The reason is because the Joe team is just professional kitbashers. I just want my joes to look cool and not like doofy retards
Post a figure for any further consideration of your opinion
>>11785808He looks fine, but makes Beach Head look like he has a narrow head.
>>11785808You're gonna have to ask other people besides us about this because it seems like a you problem
Forwarded some stuff from Hasbro Pulse UK since I couldn't find them locally unscalped. They have quite a bit of stock left over there.Almost thought they sent me an extra Nemesis thanks to the shipper but alas, it was just the 3.
>>11786519How bad are prices in Britistan?
>>11783136The only real problem with the 6 inchers is that, below the waist, the bodies all look like ass, even compared to cheap body bucks like wrestling, and especially when you look at any civilian Hasbro 6" Marvel, like a suited villain or hero, or one wearing jeans or normal, non-costumed pants. Joe's can look great, especially with gear and transport or other accessories, and in group settings, but even in say a group war planning council, mess hall, officers club type display, waist down - once your eyes go there - all MEH.
>>11786670Not great, got raped on the currency conversion but thats cos I'm in third world kangarooland.Still the better choice over scalpers. If I went that route with the same amount of money, I would've only ended up with three Nemesis Immortals
>>11787065I don't get why you want more than one. It's a singular character, not a troop-builder.
Thinking about getting a Classified Slice, can anyone tell me if the pauldrons are removable or pegged-in? What about the braces? Thanks in advance!
>>11787415Neither the shoulder armor nor the forearm armor are removable. The forearms are fully molded, that’s just his forearms. For the shoulders, the armor is soft rubber glued on to his arms. Articulation wise, Dice has a much worse issue; the black “shirt” coming from his shoulders does not rotate with hos shoulders. It’s actually his butterfly hinges. This limits his shoulder movement a lot. He basically dosent have butterflies because of how he was engineered
>>11787680Damn, they massacred both of my boys. Thanks for the info, anon.
>>11787351NTA but the heart wants what the heart wants
>>11788250Well I guess in your own "head-canon" he's a troop-builder.
Hey, they have an actual licence now other than the soccer mom suv. I'm gonna lose it he manages to get Metal Gear Solid license. I'd rather have Boss Fight Studios get it now that Lenny is with them.
>>11788651I don't want Vala touching MGS with his deliberately butch and ugly female figures. He'd fuck up Meryl, Sniper Wolf, Olga, and all the others, and he'd do it intentionally just to stay on the good side of the woke.
>>11788663I thought Bobby was anti-woke, and his ugly female figures were due to his incompetency
>>11788666bobby likes to talk a lot of shit hes retarded
>>11788651Did those White Dragon figures, too.
>>11788666He's not incompetent. He can do male figures perfectly. The butch females have to be deliberate.
>>11788692The heads are fairly large.
>>11788692What? The males are very often just as bizarre looking as the females.
>>11788651It's weird you have such a hard on for that "mom's suv" line.
>>11788743Excuse me?
>>11788748It's like you keep trying to make it a meme every time vala shit is mentioned. Like, try harder.
>>11788743That's what it is.
>>11788703It looks fine to me. Not every male is a giant muscle man with tiny head
>>11789121>Kiddo, in America, we don't drive armoured vehicles unless we are moving moneyNTA, but SWAT vans are definitely armored. Actually all LAPD patrol cars have ballistic panels in the driver and front passenger doors, which I think they started doing after the North Hollywood shootout.And most limos/SUVs transporting political VIPs are armored. Even some celebrities prefer armored SUVs.That's why companies like this exist.https://www.alpineco.com/vehicles-we-armor/armored-cadillac-escaladeThere are parts of LA, Baltimore, and Chicago that are about as safe as Beirut. Also kiddo, in America, nobody puts the letter "U" in the word armor, so I don't know where you are larping from, but you failed.
>>11789121>Kiddo, in America, we don't drive armoured vehicles unless we are moving money. If GIJoe named like Brown Faggot there or something?Being able to withstand explosives was literally a selling point of that shitty truck musk created and all the righttards lined up to throw money at it. There's plenty of people here in the US that LARP as being so important they need an armored SUV, and Valas poor excuse for a truck looks just like something a soccer mom would buy. Just slap a sticker of some flip flops on the rear window and give it some sort of wine drinking vanity license plate, and that would be right at home in any suburban setting. >>11788692He's not incompetent, just highly uncreative. His figures are fine, just boring.
>>11789265I would have looked at hitting Boeing up for the AH/MH-6 license, and Oshkosh for one of their MRAPV designs, but that Rezvani VIP-hauler struck his fancy. Curious if there will be an update on that Garrison orinthopter at DFW.On a tangent, but Mezco's Rumbler was pretty pedestrian, too.
>>11789121>Little bro over hereI'm older than you. I have been collecting since the 80's. And you obsession with 3rd worlders makes you look like a retard. Didn't even read your post beyond that.
>>11789362An MRAPV would actually be pretty cool, but what he should really do is get in touch with Zica Toys and see if he can blow up that Nightwolf vehicle from the failed Kickstarter. It's an original looking vehicle that actually looks like some sort of armored 4x4, but the damn thing could hold about ten figures. I'm sure it wouldn't need too much work to redevelop to be usable for 1:12 figures, especially considering how huge it already was. And being an original design would help keep costs lower due to less licensing costs. It would also be something unique as to this point, the only thing close to a 1:12 scale troop carrier is the Gridiron stuff, and 3d printed vehicles are already super expensive and have a slew of their own issues. I'd rather see new, unique, more toyetic designs for my near-future military toylines over some super niche, licensed soccer-mom armored SUV. But again, Vala has no imagination and no creativity, so the only thing he can put out is stolen ideas and 'realistic' Mil-sim designs.
Kind of a weird question but how well does Sci-Fi's helmet fit on a Marvel Legends head that's practically bald? Is it too form-fitting to fit on other heads?
>>11789575Yeah, I quite liked that Nightwolf design.
>>11789686Yep
>>11789686I hope they do a retro version in fluorescent green.
Rumors are the next female Joe is a brand new Ninja Force Jinx.
>>11790653God I hope not. Jinx is a boring character to me.
Neato. Shame we'll never see actual GI Joes on pegs like these for sub $10. Meanwhile mattel pumps out $10 figs with face print and 10 poa in 5". Fuck O-rings, make them in modern standards to reduce parts.
>>11790700It’s supposedly a 2 pack of Ninja Force Snake Eyes and a new Ninja Force version of Jinx
Super7 does what Haswon't. Shame they want $25 for a $9 figure.
SE, kinda meh.
>>11791202Kinda reminds me of the mute baddy that jobs to Chuck Norris in "The Octagon".
>>11791202this is fucking rad especially with weapon sprues but it just reinforces my fears they’re going to continue to fuck around instead of giving us the core cartoon looks, I wonder if hasbro told them they can’t make them
UV changing Zartan
>>11791202CC as a ninja is retarded to me, but that's my opinion. >>11791214Day-1 buy. I really like this one. Cartoon Zartan didn't have a bow and quiver, but that's alright.
>>11791213I think they're using the same business strategy as Hasbro with playing the long-game to keep the line going for as long as possible. So we wait for things we know will be easy-sells, which is why we still haven't gotten O-ring Baroness or Storm Shadow. They already know that the battle armor Baroness is the most demanded and valuable figure from the entire Ultimates line, and Storm Shadow is another valuable one. But no O-ring version in sight.
>>11791214>another zartan with no hair from S7this company has failed me for the last time
>>11791206aside from the cool red goggles it is one of the worst snake eyes Ive ever seen.
>>11791249Hooded bald Zartan looks cooler than ginger Zartan. >>11791259Eh. Nothing beats "paintball wars Snake Eyes" as the crappiest design.
>>11791214Rest of the wave is:Lady JayeCobra Viper GunnerComic Deep Six
>>11791277
>>11791279
>>11791202>>11791206I hope they do more Ninja Force
>>11791232>>11791249I believe this is comic book Zartan. Cartoon has green eyes and different colored armor. So there will be at least one repaint.
Better quality pics
>>11791277Lady Jaye is another day-1 buy. It legitimately looks better than the 1985 original. Deep Six looks like a lumberjack.
>>11791279>>11791299I couldn't help but to notice that they're finally painting the rivets now. That helps them look so much better. I'm really happy with this wave even though I'm skipping ninja CC.
>>11791267who said anything about ginger, I want his luxurious glam metal sunbow hair, not ninja force
>>11791372Already done, bro.
>>11791380no I’m talking his regular hair don’t tell me you’re one of those mistaken fools who thinks the sunbow version wears a hood
>>11791390The cartoon version may have implied having long brown hair instead of a hood. That's been an argument for four decades. It's a hard argument for the "hair club" to win when considering event he figure showed him having a hood. But yeah I agree that cartoon Zartan had long brown hair.
>>11791232>CC as a ninja is retarded to me, but that's my opinion.It's retarded, but it's the exact sort of retarded-but-fun toys I'd have wanted from the Ninja Force subline back in the day, over most of the OCs they made back then. Characters who are actually melee fighters may make more sense than Cobra Commander, but a new costume for Cobra Commander would probably sell better than any other Cobra character, so it's a sensible business decision, even if it's an odd fit from a character standpoint.I wouldn't be opposed to some story where he just dresses up like this briefly to troll Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow or something.
>>11791390Whether Sunbow Zartan is wearing a hood or whether it's his hair is a situational question where the answer can vary from scene to scene within a single episode.>Is it his hair or a hood in the cartoon?The answer is yes
>>11791202>>Cobra Colon Commander
>>11791206>Ermac Snake Eyes
>>11791206>>11791267>snake eyes showing skin and on a pink cardno its the gayest thing ever for snake eyes.
The cobra head from the Ghost Viper set goes so well with the recent Night Creeper that I might just display him this way.
>>11792114
>>11792117
>>11792114I'd like it more if it weren't Walmart-exclusive, and if it were in the same "team colors" as Ghost Viper and Crystal Ball. In those colors all is missing is a trench coat to turn it into Blade
Snake Eyes with Varmint and Cobra Viper with Trouble Bubble are now being shownhttps://www.instagram.com/gijoeclassified/p/DX5nO48iVW6/
New in hand images of Super7 Zartan.
Hasbro vs Super7
Comic book Deep Six. A little boring, but comic fans may be interested.
>>11792329I like the little details of the eyes that look like they glow in the dark but don't. That's a throwback nod to the original. Color-changing plastic is always cool too.>>11792345I don't care what the comic book says. This just doesn't feel like Deep Six. It looks more like Cutter with a floppy hat.
>>11792359So did everyone who reviewed the swamp skier and complained about it not having a black wash or dirt painted on it forget what the original looked like?Nevermind that none of the other Classifed vehicles have painted dirt on them except one
>>11792361I don't know what you're talking about, but I never liked the "dirty look" in toys.
Classified Lara Croft?
>>11792403watch it just be figures for the amazon show with the quality of the figures for the snake eyes movie
>>11792403Guile says, "Fuck you Hasbro". They're definitle going with the more modern designs for lara I bet. No blut top and short shorts with triangle chest.
>>11791202Yup, call me a poorfags all day long if you want to but I'm not spending $25 on a reaction or reaction+. For $15 I'd a be a die hard but at $25 I'm not even curious.Those 250th anniversary joes are on the shelves in my area, anyone else see them?
>>11792403Hopefully its something more in line with Rattler Baroness and Retro Covergirl.I don’t mind guest stars in the line as long as it’s exclusive and not a whole bunch of characters. Someone like Lara Croft who Cobra wants to use to get more dna for Serpentor. Or an ally to the Joes who has information about the discovery of Cobra-La.There’s a lot of ways to incorporate her into the line.
>>11792403Source of pic? It would be awesome if true. >>11792430I want game-accurate TR3 London and Nevada Desert Lara. >>11792429Their Scarlett figure is good
>>11792433The price does make me cherry-pick. I've never bought an entire wave because of the price. The licensing fees keep prices high, but they're not as bad as $36 for the Hiya figures.
>>11792439>I don’t mind guest stars in the line as long as it’s exclusive and not a whole bunch of characters.I want a full cast of Metal Gear Solid characters in Classified style.
>>11792452>I want a full cast of Metal Gear Solid characters in Classified style.2028 hopefully for the 30th. I was a teen with no job when McFarlane release the figs back then so I couldn't collect them. I did get the BAF MGS2 figs though. Solidus is still a solid figure.
>>11792114its like a realistic ninjago serpentine
>>11792474Why wait?
>>11789575Speaking of Gridiron, I was thinking of buying their M113 troop carrier. I'm not familiar with Gridiron Studios and the 3D print seems decent. What do you mean with the issues? I know its a lot, but that's why I'm asking.
>>11792488That's MGS 4 dingus. I'm talking about the award winning Playstation 1 game by Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid. Released in October 1998. With a demo of the games intro mission include in a game disc when you ordered a stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut.
Could the “serpent crown” hint from months ago be with the Lara Croft figure?Something she raids from a Cobra-La ancient site?
>>11792403I asked Grok what Lara would look like as a classified figure and it suck so much ass I asked another AI to do it instead. This is what it gave me. Hopefully Hasbro's woke team of marketers and sculptors will do something close and keep the randum tatoos to a minimum.
>>11792549I did that a while back.
>>11792555
>>11792403You could have posted the link to the sourcehttps://www.instagram.com/gijoe/p/DYkVjBzAoEa/?hl=enIt appears on the official Tomb Raider channel. The 30th anniversary of TR is THIS year, so whatever they have planned it should be revealed soon.
>AI fag once again can't help but show us all his jerk off fantasies of figures that won't ever exist>official promos of Classified Lara won't look anything like his generated garbage>he'll spam anyway that his fake images are better than the official releaseFuck this gay earth.
>>11792403If this isn't a straight up classic Lara in Classified form, I don't care. I swear, I better see some short shorts, a green tank top, and some big titties.
>>11792518NtA, but I do recall seeing some pretty rough finish in spots on some of their larger pieces.
>>11792672I can see the appeal for her typical classic costume, but I really want the Area 51 one. Who knows? Maybe they have more than one planned? I hope so anyway because she'd look great in a lot of different ways. >>11792663>Mister happy-sunshine has entered the chat to detail another thread with his bitching.
>>11792692Derail. Fucking auto-correct.
>>11792693The auto-correct knows better than you.
>>11792452Only Funko POP for you, sorry.
>>11792518So admittedly, I only own a small add on piece from Gridiron so I don't want to specifically shit on the quality of his work...but 3d printed stuff is very much still 3d printed stuff. You can see the lines, it'll feel gritty and rough, it'll make all the worst noises if you rub two pieces of em together and it'll always have glaring imperfections or ill-fitting parts. Again, not saying Gridiron's stuff is specifically bad, just pointing out the nature of 3d printed toys still has a long way to go. I will say Gridiron's vehicles do look fantastic, and some of his add on kits are really nice. But in addition to all those general 3d printed qualms I have, there's also the massive issue of price. The base price for the APC is $300 bucks. I can get a Ramen tank, which has a much nicer, far sturdier finish, and is also bigger, for less then that. Even the small piece I got, which was a roof and mini-turret for a Vamp/Stinger was half the price of the Vamp itself. For the prices you'd be paying, I'd at least want something without all the issues 3d printed items bring with them. >>11792403>>11792672This, so hard. New Lara isn't just a boring character, it's not even a good Lara. Without even needing the triangle giant boobs, the original Lara was just a better character overall, a snarky, competent badass who just wouldn't die. While it's not exactly a crossover I was asking for, if they could make a Classic Lara in the Classified quality, I'll be all over it. >>11792430I'm honestly surprised this hasn't happened yet. Though I can see why they wouldn't do Guile, but they could easily pop out updated versions of some of the other Joe X SF figures. Though maybe they're waiting until after NF Scarlet drops so they can do an SDCC Exclusive set or something.
>>11792764Thanks for the input. I love the M113 design and yeah the price is the high, but I don't see any company making a vehicle like it 5 years from now, so I'm willing to bite the bullet if it turns out good. However, the additional accessories for it are too rich for my blood....actually no, it's straight up highway robbery.
>>11792403I just noticed Lara has the Retro Card back ground. That's neat.>>11792536>Could the “serpent crown” hint from months ago be with the Lara Croft figure?Could be what they use to tie her in to the GI Joe timeline.>>11792430Still crossing my fingers the GI Joe team is handling the SF live action figures so they can parts reuse figs and make them more seamlessly fit into the classified line even if it isn't an official collab.
>>11792403>>11792429It's basically this as there is a game this year (remake of the original).
>>11792878I really hate the realism chase in modern games. She's practically a cartoon character, making her "realistic" just misses the point imo
>>11792403If this ends up being good, this not only makes up for the Rattler Baroness, but as is written on the old pages, it will reverse the curse I have cast upon Hasbro. Hopefully you can be rid of me, anons, and go back to enjoying a bounty of G. I. Joes once more.
>>11792834>Could the “serpent crown” hint from months ago be with the Lara Croft figure?Also, you might be on to something here, Colombo-Anon. I reckon that there will be video game official Tomb Raider stream during this year's summer games festival, they will show off more of the remake, release it that same day alas Obvlivion Remake and show a little more of the next game. If I had to guess, there might be multiple Lara figures, one remake Lara and one styled in the vein of the next game, which might be what the crown is linked to. Man, a good Lara 1/12 is high up on my dream list, please deliver guys.
>>11792964*>à la
>>11792891You can't tell that to most gamers. They want total realism even if it ruins the game. >>11792764Think about what it would look like in Classified form with the torso joint and knee joints. The first Lara would look too chopped up. Bare legs with double knee joints never look good. Nu-Lara would also look like shit. I'd prefer a different design.
>>11792878I'd be fine with that, but they could monkey paw it and do the other upcoming game, Tomb Raider Catalyst.
>>11793099It's weird that nothing has been shown for the 30th anniversary release while we're five months into the year. Trailers usually show up as much as two years ahead of a new game release. For people who should be pumping up the fan base, they're too damn quiet.
>>11792961You didn't curse shit. You're just impatient. They already said that they wait at least a year before doing repaints of HASLAB stuff. It hasn't been a year for the Rattler Baroness yet. They've already re-done Wild Bill and the HISS. Learn some patience. Baroness isn't done. She's the female Snake Eyes with being a really easy character to sell in Classified, with the rumors of two more coming in the near-future.
>>11792891For what its worth, if they went with her original look, they'd have ready made parts reuse for Diana, and hasbro loves reusing parts.
>>11793345They'd probably have an easier time with reusing parts with the Nevada outfit since her army pants could be reused on pretty much any female Joe.
Super7 vs Hasbro
>>11793440It looks more like the original cartoon character. Lady Jaye is one they didn't get right at all in the original ARAH. It only took a little north of four decades but we finally have a Lady Jaye figure I can be happy with.
LadyJayeToys, a guy who makes factory produced bootleg Joes revealed this new image of their upcoming Lady Jaye figure with a Sunbow head sculpt produced by Lonewolf Toys.
>>11793451Who's going to put the Black guy's head on Outback?
>>11793463The body's going to be repainted as different releases, but each release comes with Stalker as an extra head. It is an oddity though, since it doesn't work for the White guy body's. There will probably be a black guy body too.The same guy's also making Headhunter Stormtroopers with heads for Alley Vipers and Iron Grenadiers.
>>11793509I'd buy 6, 7, and 9 .
>>11793509Buy an ad
>>11792878This is going to be either Target or Walmart Con summer exclusive isn't it?
>>11793649>coming with an idol instead of a jade dragon>coming with an ice-climbing pick which she didn't use until the 3rd-gen TR games.Other than that it looks fine. >This is going to be either Target or Walmart Con summer exclusive isn't it?I'm alright with it being Target exclusive. That means any Target in my city will have it I'm not OK with it being Walmart exclusive. That means that maybe one or two Walmarts in my city will have it, and it'll be ones on the other side of the town.
>>11793649>>11792403>card art not lining up right
>>11793649Is this real or ai?
>>11793649I hope you get colon cancer a.i anon
>>11793743I think it's AI. Little details like the ice pick are wrong as well as the card art not matching the teased art already shown.
>>11793748This stuff is getting so much harder to distinguish, especially considering they actually use ai art for the box art.
>>11793759Yes it is. I don't mind people using it as visualizers for stuff that doesn't exist, but when it's used to mislead, then that's crap.
I just found a super minty set of the 250th Reaction+ figures. It sort of hurt my heart to leave them there. Especially since everyone on Facebook is fomo’ing hard for them. Theyre really sharp looking decos. I especially like Falcon. If they were $13 I would have copped but at $23 each it’s a no-go. I found pic rel at the nearby Target so that’s cool.
>>11793795No one's selling figures for under $20 now. It's the sad norm.
>>11793795>buying Super7, ever
Yeah, no. Definitely not. I just barely realized that Reaction+ is basically the OG figures, which is neat, but I’m not a customer. I’ll stick with Classified.
>gore thread
>>11794136I like the O-ring scale, especially when it comes to vehicles. >>11794204Don't pull toys from the blister. Get your fingers in there and push the blisters away from the figures.
>>11794136cry
>>11794388The only Black Major ones I have are these three. I don't care that they're not spot-on accurate with the colors, and actually enjoy them that way. I don't pass them off as legit. CC being a slightly darker shade of blue looks good like that, but it's a bitch trying to find the right paint to color-match so I can paint the rivets like I did with the other two. And I only got them because originals have gotten too expensive, and I want the figures, so them being "off a little bit" is OK. When considering that most Black Major stuff is in weird colors, I guess I got lucky with finding them.
Preordersonline this weekend. Are you getting any? Im gonna wait until they hit shelves andsee them in person.
>>11794752>>11794751I don't get who'd want this.
>>11794758Turtles fans I assume. That whole line is just putting them in different IPs over and over again fro 40 years.
>>11794758Me.Hopefully Splinter will be dress like Tunnel Rat
>>11794752So Raphael is Roadblock AND Wild Bill?
>>11794899Splinter is supposed to be older and wiser, so if they did him then he'd probably be General Hawk.
>>11794388I would love it if Super7 did a glow-in-the-dark BAT. They've already done Snake Eyes like that.
>>11794758Hoarders. People that think it'll make money after Playmates dies.
>>11794752>katana rotors>boxing glove missile>plunger gun>sai tripodthis shit is so stupid i love it, feels authentically vintage
>vala says they had thousands of orders recentlyhow are there so many people buying that junk?
>>11795215No it doesn't
>>11795215its sooo dumb, i can't figure out where it'd fit into my collection but i love it
>>11795393>He is still seethingValabros can't stop winning.
>>11795495>buying garbage is winningkek
>>11795215Aside from where they decided to spend the paint budget, it would look right at home next to the '90 Turtlecopter.
>>11795510Some of the Valaverse stuff is actually pretty cool. I just think that it's a wee bit arrogant for him to name the line after himself.
>>11795654>a wee bitGee, y'think?
>>11796003No they make pretty great toys. Maybe you should stop talking like the retard you are?
>>11796003>doesn't even show a pic of a Valaproduct breakingThis anon is still seething, it must be sour grapes.
>>11796003If you're gonna shit-post on Vala as crap, either show examples or fuck off.
>>11796235>>11796015bobby is an insufferable faggot, deal with it
>>11795654>wee bit arrogantIt's more arrogant to attack Hasbro and GI Joe when your entire brand is built on GI Joe.
>>11796305Yes he is. Some of the Vala figures are still good. >>11796307"Wee bit" was a wee bit sarcastic. I know he shit-talks Hasbro WHILE copying Hasbro's Classified style. But still some figures are still good, and since Hasbro's not touching Action Force outside of doing Quarrel, that's what you have.
>>11794751Scarlet April is pretty hot looking ngl. I assume these are all 5"ish figures or something more in line with Turtles as opposed to Joes, but I might grab her if I ever see her. The AWE is also pretty cute, but I kind of loathe that kind of vehicle because it's just too common. >>11794752>>11795215This thing is absolutely ridiculous and I absolutely love it. I don't even collect turtles anymore but I kinda want this. It's just the definition of absurd toy design. It even has the OG Blue and Gold from the first Classified figures, that's a neat little touch. >>11796305>>11796323Yea he is, and yea his toys are ok. They're a good, solid figure but they're not changing the game or raising the bar in any way. His figures don't suck, which isn't the most flattering of praise but still praise non-the-less.
>>11796307
>>11796450He did glow-in-the-dark figures before Hasbro, so that's a positive, and glow-in-the-dark makes everything cooler.
>>11796480retard
I saw this earlier and it made me chuckle. Lady Jaye if she were in a Korean F2P heroshooter. Any of you guys read the current comics?
>>11796736>I saw this earlier and it made me chuckle. Lady Jaye if she were in a Korean F2P heroshooter. I want to see them follow these "Joes in 'civilian' clothing" covers up with once for Cobra characters, especially the ones who never wear normal clothes, even if they're not introduced in those comics yet.>Any of you guys read the current comics?They're just introducing Crystal Ball and the DIRE tech in the latest issue.Meanwhile, Hama's book set in the original continuity is going back to the Dr Venom/brainwave scanner well yet again, with a story about implanted programming he put into Snake Eyes long ago.
>>11792114Can't unsee the snakes from Sen's Fortress.
>>11796736Lady Jaye isn't that flat.
This one ayuto-saged early. I don't know why. Maybe the anti-NECA guy caused it to get bumped down to the point of no return with all of his topics he started.
>>11796736.....is she wearing the female equivalent to a Canadian Tuxedo? Whoever designed this look should just stop.
>>11796756How do you find them, fun reads? I know Image is truly a completely mixed bag by its very nature of being creator driven, but I find I like a lot of comics they publish. Will have to give G.I. Joe a go, maybe Void Rivals as well.
>>11796866Comic book artists tend to not be very creative at fashion.
>>11797526New one's up now that this one died a premature death.
>>11796736G.I.NIKKE cross over when?
