>>11822724Next wave of reveals is today
>>11822725I doubt they reveal a lot. It will also be the shortest stream of the month.
>>11822752They said two preorders and some renders and name reveals.It might be short because they won't be showing anything physically.
>>11822752>>11822759I doubt that anyone will be impressed today.
I’m guessing they’ll do the following:Show Unboxed and in hand Dusty with Sandstorm and Avalanche Rescue worker.Show Renders on Iceberg, Mistress Armada, Duke and Toxo-Viper for the final week.Show silhouette of the new unrevealed character for the final week.
>>11822782apparently the final figure in the wave will be revealed today, unless industry boomers on hisstank were hyping it up last night for no reasonit's new, it's a villain, it might be a chick
We still have one more retro wave figure to be revealed too
Pics already out
>>11822845
>>11822845>>11822848this is definitely cooler than the first one
>>11822848why even give us the coyote if it looks this fucked up? I’d rather not have it
>>11822858it's just on HGH, it's finea lone coyote could never keep up with a dog otherwise
>>11822858Yeah, they botched that one.>>11822851That helmet with the nvg new?
>>11822868I think so.Seems like it might have have a swivel.
this pre-recorded stream scheduled to go live now was pushed back 15 minutes
>>11822848>"we're just normal men" >"we're just innocent men"
>>11822725How much are they paying him, or are they paying him in figures only?
>>11822848This is not how you make a coyote.
>>11822912Hasbro doesn't have that sort of budget for GI Joe anymore, so the only thing they're paying him with are internet cred and links to his youtube account.
hey guysmore cold slither concerts
>>11822858Fuck the dog. I want them to get the arms right so they go straight down.
>>11822908Kek
Snow nigga
Toxo-Viper
Lady Armada, my new waifu
>>11822935At least he comes with more than one accessory this time. >>11822938still tapping into the Cobra-La roots
"Synapse", some kind of zombie/tech guy by the look of his silhouette
RETRO revealsFalconValkyrieFlash
>>11822939That's an Iron Grenadiers diversity-hire.
>>11822939 Nice tits!
Did they just not show the new Duke? Aren't these pre-recorded? >>11822939Excellent tit meat
Kill me.
Surprised they didn’t show new Duke
>>11822953I think they were supposed to and fucked it up or something, they were talking like we could see a render.
>>11822946>ValkyrieJust give the first one a better face so it doesn't look like it has demon eyes, and don't make it flat-chested. >Flash About fucking time
>>11822943looks like he'd be tied into the mole rats or something
>>11822946Surprised no Firefly and no Ripcord
>>11822939>sexy >mystery meat>sword>gold 1911>moneymongers stay winning
>>11822958I'm thinking a hybrid zombie and BAT.>>11822957A better helmet wouldn't hurt, either. Neither would losing the Darth Vader face mask. Cobra female blueshirts had scarves covering their faces, not Darth Vader masks.
>>11822963>>mystery meatShe looks like the one in 50 million pajeetas that isn't offensively ugly.
>>11822964this is the promo shot they used so it'll probably still have the visor head
>>11822965She’s black. And from Britain.
>>11822970Like Casca
>>11822965Is Armada supposted to be Indian? I thought she was Colombian or Brazilian or sometthing>
>>11822973I like this Duke. He looks awesome.
>>11822974Black girl from Britain. Real name is Lilian Osborne.
>>11822939hasbro knows how to get meI wasn't 100% confident about my IG Destro & Despoiler preorder, but with this bitch showing up I'm committing to the IG line
>>11822973Is this Energon Duke?
>>11822980they said it wasn't., but they implied they'll do that eventually
my dawn moreno arrived while I watched the streamfun day
>>11822938wake me when v2
>>11822973lmao boomers are actually spazzing out about this duke having a beard and "not being" duke
>>11822973Duke is the Chris Redfield of GI Joe isn't he? I like this version, looks cool.
>>11822848The coyote looks awful. It’ll probably look a bit better in hand tho. I already have a Seychelles coyote for the OG Dusty that looks 100 times better >>11822868Yup looks like a new helmet. I’m sure we’ll see it a billion more times in the future >>11822935A head swap away from being sorta mid >>11822938Dope >>11822939Might grab it only bc it kind of looks like my wife >>11822943Eh>>11822946Cool >>11822973Super meh. Looks like 100% reused parts except of the neck and head ..probably will still purchase.
>>11822935>>11822938>>11822939Gosh dog it all, maybe it's time for me to rejoin the ranks guys. >>11822973Energon duke? Looks great for a generic guy.
once again the Joe cucks get generic rehashed shit while Cobra chads get based wacky nonsense
>>11822938Preordered day1. No waiting on ROSS drops for this one. One of the few I had as a kid.>>11822939Don't know who but sure looks spicy.>>11822973Thought this was going to be 90s Duke in desert camo and red trim.
>>11822935Wrong chest color, and I don't like the black snowboard, should be white like v2 or v4 version.>>11822938is what it is, I'll get one just to have it>>11822939Who? Not even accurate to the one appearance she had, easy wait for a sale >>11822943That looks purely retarded, easy skip>>11822946I'm not buying another falcon no matter whatI got a ton of the two pack Valkyries on sale, no need for a slightly different blue versionFlash is obviously the only must have of the day.
>>11823033>Who? Not even accurate to the one appearance she had,that one appearance she had looked lame as fuck, this is way cooler
>>11823034if anyone wanted a figure of this, they are incorrect
>>11822966That sucks. >>11822973Looks great.
>>11823029>Thought this was going to be 90s Duke in desert camo and red trim.Same
>>11823033>Wrong chest color, and I don't like the black snowboard, should be white like v2 or v4 version.That for the retro card release in 2 years.
>>11822939This gives me more hope that the Dr Knox figure is going to be great.
>>11823033>Wrong chest colorlittle shit like that's deliberate. It gives them an excuse to do a retro-card reissue down the road.
>>11822939We need a higher angle view of that cleavage to validate it.
Dog already sold out. I got one to resell.
>>11822946>those colors Did they pick a goddamn animation error again?
$4 thrift store SHARC
Post toys
>>11823089What are you talking about, that's his color from the movie. The original classified fucked up face one uses the vintage figure colors.
>yes Commander, I believe the Auditors are finished.
>>11823140Ok buddy
>>11823146NP anon, glad I was able to clear that up for ya.
>>11823033>Who? Not even accurate to the one appearance she had, easy wait for a saleIt's a sexy female figure. Do you think it will go to a sale?
>>11823143I wonder what paint they used on the harness
>>11823189It’s basically plastic and it’s toxic in liquid form
>>11822935>>11822938>>11822939>>11822943Eh...I'm good
>>11823230>>11823193Get out of our thread faggot and go back to your containment
>>11822845>>11822847As cool as these figures are, I think I'll hold off pre-ordering them. Hopefully like previous higher priced sets, they'll sit on shelves and maybe even see a discount at some point. Desert Scorpion was a way cooler set and that thing was the only figure on the shevles at my local targets for this entire year. >>11822935>>11822938>>11822939>>11822973These are day one Pre-Orders though. Though I do wish Iceburg's gun was more like a laser LMG like his original figure since Snowjob already holds that arctic sharpshooter position. >>11822946Oh neat, I'm down for a third Valkyrie. >>11823119>>11823120Any markings on this thing to indicate what it's from? I wanna say it's another Chap Mei thing, but the holes in the front and hatch up top make me doubtful of that.
>>11822943Dr X
>>11823310>Any markings on this thing to indicate what it's from?Imaginext Justice Leauge
>>11823310I just want one good Valkyrie. The 2-pack really did suck.
>>11822939
>>11823420I doubt they'll change anything sculpt-wise, or even the web gear. It'll just be color differences.
>>11822973>Punished Duke
>>11823420Why do you post such enthusiastic lies?
>>11822724My dire night viper still hasnt come yet. Walmart wont help me and they direct me to hasbro and hasbro wont help me and they direct me to walmart. What should i do now?
>>11823536cancelling your order would probably be the simplest thingI got both the Night Creepers I ordered, but last time when I ordered Crystal Ball it got randomly cancelled on release day but then there ended up being like 5 of them at my nearest store
>>11823541It says its "shipped" and it was meant to arrive on monday but now it says its delayed and neither walmart nor hasbro will help me and i want to flip a desk because of how enraged i am about this
>>11822946No DIC drug addict Falcon, no buy.
>>11823542I've seen a bunch of people talk about that.Seems like a common thing this time around for some reason.
>>11823547>Seems like a common thing this time around for some reason.Really? Fuck. I thought it was just me having that problem.
>>11823553I also have that problem. I'll probably contact them tomorrow and see if I can get any answer. No idea why they're directing you to hasbro. Its walmart's delivery service that's misplaced it.
>>11823536Damn. I got my two and already sold my extra.
>>11823553I've seen like 4/5 people mention it on the Hisstank forum, I was worried about it happening to me
>>11823564In a fucked up sorts way im glad its not just me having this issue. Has anyone found a solution or figures out what the deal is?
>>11823559What the fuck is going on? It seems like a bunch of things are getting delayed for no reason like some TMNT stuff. Why is every company so fucking incompetent now?
Are you guys new to collecting? Walmart is notorious as the worst place on earth for preorders. Their website is also totally fucked up. The inventory management system had me drive 35 miles for something and then let me know on the way home its in stock at about 5 closer locations.
>>11823615I've never had any issues with orders, my only problem is shit sells out and they seem to have no interest in restocking
>>11823615I barely ever do preorders if i can help it. I only preorder stuff when its absolutely necessary and while walmart has been shitty before ive never had an experience this bad before.
Honestly what should i do? Walmart has been making me go in circles trying to find help about the dire night creeper with all phone numbers and in store employees going "durr i dunno what to do?". How do i get a concrete answer on whats going on and who do i talk to to get results?
Walmart says the dire night creeper was lost now. GreatFUCK WALMART
>>11823591Blame Trump
>>11823827I abandoned buying Joe's from them after the Ghost Viper headache. Collecting is supposed to be depressurizing and enjoyable. Walmart exclusives kill the enjoyment. There's nothing Hasbro can give them that's worth the bullshit.
>>11823842Trust me i do but i genuinely think these companies would be just as incompetent and lazy on their own >>11823849Im still fucking pissed i never got ghost viper. I looked everywhere and could never get him. Fuck walmart up the ass
>>11823849>Collecting is supposed to be depressurizing and enjoyable.I wish this were more the reality for me. Finding a lot of it stressful, have to record the unboxings, worried about the ambient temperature being too hot for my figures, worrying about space etc. I find myself fretting so much about the health of my collection I think I'm too much of a bitch for toy collecting.
>>11822973>belt-fed, but rifle mags in LBV>Gee, Duke! How come General Hawk let's you carry *two* pistols?Dunno why these things bother me, but they do, kek.
Let me ask this, everyone who's had the same delay issue, what was the last location of your package?>4:30 am Package shipped LANCASTER, TXIf they're all from the same distribution hub you might be able to get someone to open a theft investigation there. I'm assuming some employee just walked off with a box of them to resell.
>>11823899Mine says it was shipped from greencastle, pennslyvania
>>11823895>mags for the wrong guns >rifles without proper sights >weapons with incompatible attachments >weapon scaling totally inconsistent It’s pretty clear to me that the current team is extremely unfamiliar with firearms. If I was the team lead I would at least take everyone to a high-end shooting range that has exotic guns for rent. One day at the range and they would understand guns better than they currently do
Oh yeah I almost forgot; the amount of rifles with no stock. It’s basically impossible to shoot a rifle effectively with no stock. They sort of rectified this with Crazyleg’s smg that finally has a folding stock. Collapsible stocks would be really easy for them to do as well.
>>11823907I know next to nothing about guns but if i worked for the gi joe team at hasbro i would make a point to get in contact with people who know about guns to make the toys more accurate
>>11823895That seems to be a plate carrier not an LBV, but yeah, you're not wrong. The Spec Ops soldier from the legacy line uses this carrier, but he at least has a magazine fed rifle. >>11823907It's really annoying. My other hobby is collecting and shooting guns and holy shit, the inaccuracies a lot of these toy companies pull just drives me nuts.
>>11823907it's as if GI Joe were some kinda fantasy IP of made up military and scifi shit that holds no bearing in reality. Next thet'll be making Laser canons and Hover chariots. God GI Joe sucks ass now.
>>11823855It seems to me like 10% of Walmarts got them, and the ones that did got a shitload of them. I personally feel like it was intentional. They priced it well above the normal price of a fat-packed Joe at the time ($60 instead of $40), they knew they had a cool figure people would want but there's the price. I remember someone posting a pic of one in-store at $60 next to a Desert Scorpion normally-priced at $40. I think they created false scarcity to work the buyers into such a frenzy that we'd forget the price. And it worked.
>>11823919If these fuckers show up at DDs like the MOTU Walmart only exclusive. I'm gonna be a happy little boy. Never saw them at the two WM that had the collector Island setup. Saw everything else stocked. There wasn't even a label for it.
>>11823924They sold out fast, and that damned us because the frenzied fans who gladly overpaid gave Hasbro the confidence it was seeking to justify bidding up the prices. So we started this year with everything except the basic figures costing $10 more than they did last year.
Prices will continue to rise as long as you paypiggies keep buying
>>11823917Ok so they built the MASS device but still haven’t figured out that you must have both front and rear sights on a rifle
>>11823914Been wondering if there were any other /k/ommands here. The guns in this toyline are infuriating
Why'd they make this thing so fucking big
>>11823940Hello my fellow /k/ommando. Yeah, as much as I love the line for scratching that military itch for me, it is really obnoxious how they can't get any guns even remotely close to correct. They can't even be bothered to watch a simple YouTube video. It's not like this issue is exclusive to Hasbro, most other companies can't do it. Mezco was one that was pretty good since they had working slides and actions and such, and maybe Valaverse, but I'm struggling to think of any other company outside of specialty stuff like Little Armory that actually gets firearms right.
>>11823908>Collapsible stocks would be really easy for them to do as well.That's another peeve of mine. Non-extended stocks. In Hasbro's defense, they aren't the only one guilty of it. Damn 3rd party had to give us an Uzi with the stock extended.
>>11823940>>11823952Not a /k/ guy but ive heard a theory that companies like hasbro make the guns purposefully weird to avoid paying license fees to IRL gun companies
>>11823965Could be a thing. I know that's a thing for video games.
>>11823965NTA but I could believe that. Though I'm not massively familiar with guns (I like them and think they're cool, but I'm by no means an expert) and honestly most of the "errors" with the Classified guns go over my head.That said I think you could be onto something- they clearly know enough about guns to make some fairly deep cuts (this one is IIRC based on a Kriss Vector) so I wouldn't be surprised if the mistakes are to keep gun companies off their backs.If you think Joe guns are bad though just wait until you see what Transfags have to put up with for jet modes. Blitzwing from the Bumblebee movie turned into a Phantom but his toy didn't even look like a stylized one.
waiting a couple of days was the right call. The dire creeper is back in stock, so I went back to my stalled order, clicked issues with my delivery and it gave me the choice to have another one shipped free of charge.
>>11823936Prices are going to continue to ride regardless if people keep paying for things or not. Literally everything is skyrocketing in price. It's not excluive to toys. Why are some of you so fucking ignorant of the rest of the world?
>>11824022Nah hasbro are being cheap money grubbers
>>11824084Either you're just shitposting or you're legitimately stupid. Either way, stop responding.
>>11824086Not him, but they're not even trying to bring prices down. They cut corners to lower costs like re-using body parts and accessories, but they don't pass that lower price onto customers. Instead they keep prices edging up. And it's getting to the point to where they're pricing customers out of the market.
>>11824106So are the grocery stores and fast food restaurants. Start a crusade for us anon
>>11824128yeah, I'm more willing to pay an extra 5 dollars for action figures than I am for fucking Taco Bell or whatever, which is inflated WAY more
>>11823936Start a Victory Garden! Me? I'm boycotting my utility bills and stealing ground beef from sav-a-lot and pirating movies. Repeal the Stamp Act!
Two more vehicles left this year . Most likely not revealed until SDCC.
>>11824128https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vSjc2vuV_gohttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/o3qHWacYrdoPrices come down quickly when the money's not there. They don't go in the opposite direction. That defies economic logic. Prices get bid up through the increase in able-demand (meaning demand that people have the cash to spend on). Throw in Hasbro increasing the number of Classified releases for the past 3 years. They're raising prices just because they can.
>>11824106No shit. No one in any industry is trying to bring prices down. That's why I said that prices are going to keep gong up regardless if people keep paying the price. It's genuinely kind of concerning how so many of you think this is isolated to toys.
>>11824142Literally everything has gone up in price in the past three years, what are you even talking about?
>>11823948>too big >giant front end (extra stupid bc the engine in the rear)>wheels and tries too small Look at the stance and proportions on the old one. Everything about it is better. Everything is wrong with the new one. Looks like they designed it with no reference in mind whatsoever, like based off a distant memory of what a buggy looks like. At least you took the ridiculous top cage / seat off. It looks a bit better like that. For some reason most people don’t take it off.
>>11823919It makes zero sense to order that much of a $60 figure for one store
>>11824297normal walmart distributionmine never gets anything, they stopped stocking gi joe at all when shipwreck shelfwarmed
>>11824302The AIs are in charge of distribution now, the humans are out to pasture. It ordered 5 for the site but it froze up mid order and didn't recall ordering the 5 so it ordered 5 more, then froze up again, ordered another 5, and on and on
