It looks like we're in a holding pattern until tomorrow
Retrofied the Iceberg Render. Might have to preorder my first mainline figure tomorrow if Toxoviper goes up. One of the few figs I owned as a kid and they freaking nailed the Classified figure.
>>11828460snow guy, but this time ... he's black
>>11828463Hama and Hasbro had a rule in the 80s where every wave (year) had one Black guy and one woman. I don't get him though because the year's token Black guy was V.2 Roadblock who's a hell of a lot more memorable than Iceberg was.
>>11828479it's not like any of the non snowjob snow guys are memorable either, but it's funny because black guys aren't about cold weather usually and most of the time there was a minority joe they did go stereotypical but in a mostly respectful and sensical way like spirit or heavy duty
>>11828482Spirit wasn't stereotyped. He was depicted as strong, intelligent, and the only Joe who could take on Storm Shadow in a fight (and the only Joe Storm Shadow respected) in the cartoons. He wasn't depicted as violent-mad as fuck because his haplogroup can't handle firewater while suckering the paleskins out of their money in a casino.
Looks like we're only getting the iceberg wave to order tomorrow. I was hoping to get flash done and out of the way already.
>>11828484my manhe's expert tracker who communes with animalslike I said, stereotypical but respect, like "Injuns are really good trackers and mystical in like a nature-y way" or "black dudes are usually big strong guys who can carry heavy weapons"or "asian guys make great ninjas"stereotypes are not inherently bad, despite what you made have read on twitter
>>11828479>Hama and Hasbro had a rule in the 80s where every wave (year) had one Black guy and one woman.>even though that year had TWO black guysHama didn't have any control over any of this btw, Hasbro's design team came up with the figures, and in some cases may already have assigned a name and role to them before Hama came in to write the filecard. This is how we ended up with Hasbro literally modelling Tunnel Rat on Hama but him not knowing this when he wrote Tunnel Rat's filecard. He wasn't involved in the toy design side of the process.A retro v2 Roadblock is overdue though.
>>11828492Need I point out that the first heavy weapons troop was a White guy (Rock n Roll)? And at least up until (((MODERN AUDIENCE))) times so was the martial artist Snake Eyes? Or how Scarlett was their original martial artist and SE was just a Vietnam-burned commando? It wasn't until later when the "team diversity" people at Hasbro took established jobs from White Joes to fit in more diversity characters.
>>11828487Just please show me Lara, enough blue-balling.
>>11828512that's not related at all to the point
>>11828487>>11828521The 5 render reveals tomorrow have to be Lara Croft, NightForce Psyche-Out, retro Falcon, retro Flash and retro Cobra Valkyrie because those are the only ones we have names for already but no renders.The 5 Preorders tomorrow are of course Iceberg, rugged Duke, Mistress Armada, Toxo Viper and Synapse.It will be interesting to see who the 3 name only reveals are.
>>11828522You said races fill out stereotype roles while I point out that said roles originally went to White characters >>11828521I agree. At this point it feels like they're just fucking with us.
>>11828538>You said races fill out stereotype roles while I point out that said roles originally went to White charactersNo, I said Hasbro's inclusion of minorities generally makes sense, with snow nigga being an exception, because black dudes aren't typically known for their snowboarding or skiing skills
>>11828521Stealth dropped it last night. Had to be a Pulse member elite to get the email.
>>11828579Nice.
>>11828579So they're going with "unified Lara" instead of classic Lara? It still looks alright, and I'll get it if it's not bullshit-priced.
>>11828579No bow and arrows?
>>11828588>>11828596that's very visibly AI, you fucking idiots
>>11828579>>11828588>>11828596>>11828600He's being an annoying dweeb this is the same AI picture from a few threads ago.
leak time
>>11828674
>>11828674Fucking cybernetic Adam Lambert, kek
>>11828677they fixed his jacket, but not his board.
>>11828680most pointless figure ever?
>>11828681
Lara or fuck off
>>11828674putting this weirdo with the crystal ball ghost niggas>>11828677damn I hope her face doesn't look like that and it's just the lighting>>11828680negro generico>>11828681cool but long ass neck>>11828686we have the wave's winner
>>11828681>>11828674Lets never let the team design their own figures again. Just update 80s and 90s stuff from now on.
>>11828686wish the purple was a bit brighter but looks fun
>>11828677Why does she have demon hands?
>>11828694Fingerless gloves and black nail polish. I think, lol.
>>11828693It was brighter in the render. Feels like they intentionally made it darker so they could double dip with a retro figure in the future.
>>11828674they should've made that gold chain a separate piece if they couldn't get the paint to not be sloppy with in a promo sot
>>11828677Definitely need a high view of that cleavage before purchase. If there's a solid chunk of plastic between the breasts...
>>11828697yeah they pulled this with me on techno-viperbut his regular release was honestly more than close enough how I remember the characterHow often and quick do classifieds get a retro recolour treatment?>>11828703my beepis?
>>11828674Which Fortnite character is this exactly? The arms and head literally look like ones Hasbro already used on one of their Fortnite figures.
>>11828702The collar and the chain are a separate piece. Thats just mold flash. There are other actual paint app imperfections visible in the photo though and it’s funny that’s how you can tell this is real
>>11828725>The collar and the chain are a separate pieceI meant like a necklace>Thats just mold flashwell it looks like shit
>>11828677>"GI JOE MUST NOT REDEEM THEIR PRE-PAID CARDS!"
>>11828688They're gonna make us wait until October just to be dicks >>11828680Looks like they took the criticism to heart to quickly change the color of his vest
>>11828681The most pointless ones are the T-800's faggot brother and Mistress Saar Duke looks like he's ready to team up with Solid Snake to tear down some globalists
>>11828674What the fuck happened to Darkwing Duck?
>>11828694Her fucking legs look borrowed from Sauron, and the rest of her outfit looks borrowed from M Bison.
>>11828681No way. He'll go nicely with the rest of my generic military bros. Plus his gear matches my irl gear that I posted last thread.
>>11828674>>11828677>>11828680>>11828681>>11828686Wow, every single one looks significantly worse than the renders. Impressive
>>11828729She’s black you idiot. She’s not Indian.Her real name is Lillian Osborn.
>>11828674Gay.
>>11828818this would've been better
>>11828818Robo-Cobra
>>11828674I was hoping it would be Dr X for Actionman to face>>11828677Sexo>>11828680Yep, it's Iceberg>>11828681Looks good>>11828686That's a V1 Toxo-Viper, looks good
>>11828820Well not really, this >>11828818 is just a Star Trek borg
>>11828674At least we got a confirmation for Headman torso reuse. This mead Head Hunters are on the way as well. Another one I've been waiting on.
>>11828638Which you sadly can't report. >>11828674Oh he looks proper smarmy. I can just see him sassing off to all the old Cobra high command. Is he from a comic or something because he has way too much going for him to be entirely toy original.>>11828677I hate the golden sword, it just looks cheap. I also wish she came with some sort of larger gun. But overall I like he, she'll fit right in with the rest of the Iron Grenadiers.>>11828680They actually made his gun worse. If there weren't so few arctic figures I'd skip him outright. But I need at least a squad of three so he'll be joining Snowjob. The other two reveals are simple but solid figures. Though I do dislike how little stuff they come with these days, and how absolutely bland the boxes are. I know people here love their plastic trays, but I kind of miss the plastic free packaging days because they actually showed off the art work and had a lot of fun little extras inside the box they didn't need to add but did anyway. Also they were way less hassle to open, little paper baggies filled with accessories is far more pleasant an experience to open then having to pop each tiny item out of a noisy plastic tray.
>>11828818I'm so glad you're not involved in designing figures, this is just absolutely bland dogshit.
>>11828950>Is he from a comic or something because he has way too much going for him to be entirely toy original.he's entirely toy original
>>11828860And the actual one is just a generic fodder enemy from Cyberpunk 2077 wearing vest
>>11828681That's the red letter media Jay head used for mcu captain America.
>>11828885Its just the Iron Grenadier torso repainted. I wouldn't assume its going to be Headman's suit too.
>>11828950>I know people here love their plastic trays, but I kind of miss the plastic free packaging days because they actually showed off the art work and had a lot of fun little extras insideGod no, those windowless boxes were fucking terrible. Nevermind the QC roulette, or the fact that you sometimes had to wonder if someone did a swap, but the ONE thing people were hoping would be fixed with those (non-warped accessories and shit) somehow didn't get fixed. In fact, somehow warped limbs and accessories got WORSE in the windowless boxes.Instead of the smaller boxes they do now, they should just go back to the boxes they did the first 2-3 years before with windowless ones, and just put actual artwork on the back of them, instead of one generic illustration.
>>11828813If she was straight Black then she would have a wide nose with large nostrils, and the hairline of a klingon with some hair glued to her scalp to try to conceal the klingon hair. She's supposed to be Black, but that's 100% not a Black woman's face.
>>11827627>Have you picked up Patriotic Duke yet?Waiting for the RossCon price drop
According to the official TR instagram, Lara will be revealed this yojoe June. That's either today, or at the "Joefest" on June 26 - 28.
>>11829053Doesn't look like it. IG has these lumps on the sides and chest pockets.
>>11829238You’re an idiot. Black women can look like that.
>>11829297Calling it now: the 5 render reveals today:Retro FlashRetro FalconRetro Valkyrie Night Force Psyche OutLara Croft NYCC exclusive
>>11829406will be revealed in person at SDCCsaid to be releasing later this fall(no mention of NYCC at all)
>>11829407
>>11829389No Night Force Psyche-Out render.They must have counted the revealed Synapse as the fifth render reveal.
>>11829413
>>11829416Crimson SNAKE and Triple T name revealed
Marauders Footloose and Mutt 2 pack
>>11829413eyes.... sexy...i get halalbros now
>>11829407NYCC fags BTFO as predicted
>>11829406>Unified Lara with an emphasis on the modern stuffI like the head sculpt, and like it having TR2's dagger of Xian. That's about it. Everything else is too "Nu-Lara" for my liking. And the thing is TR fans have no choice but to buy the shit out of it to make it successful if we want other versions. >>11829413It's definitely an improvement over the Valkyrie 2-pack, especially with the eyes. >>11829416It's about time.
>>11829440are you saying the inclusion of the bow is too nu-Lara?they were never going to make a figure that looks like a PS1 render and if she only came with two pistols everyone would call it lame, it'll probably be priced like one of the legacy figures
>>11829443Yep. The bow, climbing axes, and rope are total nu-Lara. Even the bandolier diagonally across her chest is Nu-Lara, as are the smaller boobs. >if she only came with two pistolsAnd her shotgun, dagger of Xian, jade dragon, semi-auto pistols, various Egyptian artifacts (like Pharos pillar) for unlocking the next area, etc.
>>11829444>>11829444>Even the bandolier diagonally across her chest is Nu-LaraThey did specifically mention the bandolier (with the Joe logo) is removable because they know how many people will buy this just to have a lara without any interest in gi joe
>>11829443I just wish this Lara’s boobs were bigger
>>11829406nice alt head, I'll get an extra retro valk and slap it on there
>>11829238>all black women have the same facial featuresHello /pol/ how's that jungle fever going?
>>11829297>no one asked for this wtf>18 likesI've never wanted to strangle so many people before this moment.
>>11829406She's gorgeous. I love she comes with an alt head I'll never use except for other figures. Perfect for my old series one Scarlett body.>>11829411Camouflage deco and face look good. No side arm sucks though.>>11829413A fine addition to my planned Cobra Babes collection.>>11829416The wide torso really makes him look tough. Strong jawline too. A man's man.>>11829417Does the picture imply SNAKE armor is getting a Retro redesign in crimson colors?
>>11829467It's going to be a Crimson SNAKELike the Crimson Viper or the Crimson BATIt would seem the rumored DIRE SNAKE repaint was actually a Crimson repaint, unless they're doing two repaints
>>11829406What is the disconnected handle next to her gun for?
>>11829473I think the grappling hook plugs inShe might come with a string, they never show the string in renders when figures come with it
>>11829406Too many useless accessories. This is going to be at Action Man's price point, and I'll pass on that no matter how good she looks.>>11829411If he actually looks like that in reality I may get him. >>11829413I'm good with the ones we already got, but this is bound for the clearance bin and I'll pick up a few then.>>11829416Looks good, but why isn't he red headed? If we're going pure toy versions, then why am I stuck with a brown Zap?>>11829417Too big and too expensive to get boring repaints. The dire version might have been worth it, but not a solid red or blue one.>not picturedI skipped all the other marauders so I'll skip the two pack, and I'll skip the Triple T because I just don't care about Sarge.
>>11828953True>>11829053>>11829367How come people dont double check things before saying assumptions anymore
>The TOMB RAIDER x G.I. JOE Lara Croft figure arrives loaded for the expedition: dual pistols, bow and quiver, climbing axes, grappling hook, machete, Dagger of Xian, swappable heads, and her trusty backpack - everything a legendary adventurer needs to raid a tomb on Cobra Island and live to tell the tale.>Join us in San Diego for the full reveal and pre-order launch on Thursday July 23rd!NYCC moron eternally btfo. Now apologize for spamming the last two thread with your bullshit lies.
>>11828674I like how ridiculous he looks, but that backstory is pants-on-head nonsense, even for GI joe. I'm going to use him as a crazy terrorist Action Man, Lara and the EuroJoes are fighting.
where are you now, NYCC fag?
new wave is up for preorder everywhere
Now that the team has the green light to crossover into other properties, who else would you like to see in Classified?
now I like this retard ironically
>>11829504Magdalena?
>>11829504None.
>tfw they didn't redeem
>>11829493Fucking seconded, I want an apology video from that little shit.
>>11829510They need to start building glasses/goggles directly into a second head sculpt again, this removable shit isn't working
>>11829406>all those fucking useless nu-raider accessories only to drive the price up nice
>>11829519THey were gonna charge more than a standard price anyway, but yeah, lot of useless stuff. Not even a bow with a drawn string like we just got with NF Zartan
>>11829519Would you rather she come with nothing but her two pistols and still be overpriced because there are zero alternatives? They have us Lara fans by the balls anon.
Called it.
>>11829519>Complaining about too many accessories Really nigga? Every other toy line gets shit for not having enough stuff and you're mad it has too much?
>>11829416Every Joe face sculpt should have been this handsome all along
>>11829522I don't autistically follow every claim every anon makes in these threads. What was your call?
>>11829531He “predicted” that she would have a piece of plastic between her tits. It wasn’t that wild of a call, you could see it clearly in the render. I’m not really sure what he was hoping for? The shirt as a separate part? Because that was never going to happen
>>11829460They have the same type of noses unless they went "Beyonce/Michael Jackson" and had work done. Plus the hair. I doubt Cobra has the patience of waiting to go into battle while she gets a wig on
>>11829459Both heads look like slightly re-tooled HASLAB Arctic Lady Jaye.
>>11829536>me when I'm retarded
>>11829504Metal Gear Solid. Plus more Tomb Raider. Danger Girl is too obscure.
>>11829532Honestly her tits are the best one can hope for regarding a Western designed action figure in this day and age. Hasbro still has some misguided hope parents will buy this stuff for their kids in mass. Personally I think making all the females with some sex appeal villain characters to be a smart move. If some retarded puritanical harpy starts screeching Hasbro can simply say "well she's an evil woman character, so we obviously don't condone her showing off a little skin" and brush that bullshit under the rug.
the Joe HQ's plumbing isn't gonna clog itself
>>11829535What makes you think a rich black woman working for Destro and his Iron Grenadiers wouldn't get cosmetic surgery done?
>>11829532I wasn't expecting anything else. I know it's a difficult shape to do in plastic unless you use two pieces or some other specific solution and I was 99.9% sure they wouldn't do that. Still looks lame for a "collector-ish" line. Could have used an entirely different design with two cups or whatever that didn't require a hollow they weren't planning to do.
>>11829544>collector-ish lineHasbro will never commit to the idea ONLY ADULT COLLECTORS are into GI Joe figures. They would lose more than half their investors overnight.
>>11829537>sling shit without backing it upYou must be a liberal. The similarities are there, at least indicating that they were sculpted by the same person. >>11829449It's Nu-Lara wearing classic Lara's clothes in what Crystal Dynamics calls "unified Lara." And nu-Lara doesn't have much going on in terms of tits.>>11829519Yep. That's how Hasbro plays it. I don't want any nu-Lara shit. If they have to stuff a blister then they should have gone with OG weapons and artifacts.>>11829542The character's supposed to be Black, but that's not a Black woman in any way.
>>11829546That's what they've done. They tried cheaper alternatives to appeal to kids, and they flopped colosally.
>>11829549>"similarities are there, at least indicating that they were sculpted by the same person">completely different eye shape>completely different eyebrows >completely different lips >completely different cheekbonesYou must be a blind boy
>>11829549I think your glimpses of black women are extremely limited.
>>11829551>That's what they've doneThen why do they intentionally make their female figures not as sexy as their comic book and cartoon designs? If it's all adult collectors there should be no issue. They're only legitimate claim is people "might" still be buying Classified figure for their children. Any other reasons (screeching Twitter mob) Hasbro would never admit.
>>11829560>Then why do they intentionally make their female figures not as sexy as their comic book and cartoon designs?Rattler Baroness
>>11829549>faceblind anon is also racistIt's like poetry, it rhymes.
>>11829561>one figure>not a general release>requires purchasing a vehicle playsetWow (sarcasm). Now why were all the other Baroness figures intentionally made less sexy? Not the real reason, the reason a Hasbro sales rep would say during an interview.
I’m still waiting on a lot of vehicle drivers like Ace and Thrasher to complete my 1982-1987 collection.Retro Ripcord too.
>>11829567don't care, I backed the Rattler
>>11829417Unless it's pulse exclusive, this is gonna be a ROSS fodder.
>>11829549Supporting this post to make shills even madder.
>>11829554You're the one pulling at anything just to start another pointless argument. >>11829568I was hoping for more vehicles, mainly Thunder Machine and Moccasin. At this point I'm giving up on the Firebat because they obviously have zero interest. Their apparent vehicle plans through the rest of the year are obviously repaints
>>11829577If they packed in a crimson version of the retro viper, it'd do better even though they'd price it higher as a result
>>11829576I didn't, but still got the Baroness. It's the most expensive one in my Classified collection.
>>11829584I'm actually looking forward to the say they reuse the body, I really want to have Rattler Baroness with the ponytail and headset but since she's just the best Baroness ever I put her in my main display with her hair down
>>11829581>make a claim about faces despite being faceblind>claim an entire race of people can only have one type of nose>HOW DARE YOU ANONS CALL ME OUT REEEEEE>any argument against my nonsense is pointlessHilarious stuff. You can't make this shit up.
>>11828677Best destro for her? Profit director?
>>11829613I was using PD Destro as the lead on my IG shelf, but now that IG Destro is coming, I put Profit Director with my Cobra La guys
>>11829615Guess I'll wait for his solo release then. Seems after shipping the pd destro is still about 28 or more.
>>11829467>Does the picture imply SNAKE armor is getting a Retro redesign in crimson colors?It was released in red in various European territories back in the 1980s as part of the Action Force line.
>>11829589It's true, saar. She's not Black. She's supposed to be but she's not. She's clearly street-shitter brown.
>>11829634Just give up. You lost.
Idk who synapse is but he looks cool.Gives me hope that scalpel gets a figure.
Every new character they drop looks like a Hero Shooter reject desu
>>11829689yep, why is that such a common design aesthetic these days, it sucks
>>11829645Lost what? You fucking mental-midget. That figure looks nothing like the Black character.
>>11829560Because of feminists and nu-males who believe that attractive females are a form of oppression. Hasbro's been doing alright with attractive females since Rattler Baroness came out, which tells me that the decision to go with modern Lara instead of the classic is on Crystal Dynamics.
What are the chances Mistress Armada goes on sale at Amazon next year for lower than MSRP?
>>11829702>Because of feminists and nu-males who believe that attractive females are a form of oppressionHasbro won't say that. They will lie through their fucking teeth that children by the thousands if not millions still want their GI Joe action figures. Investors hear anything else and it's pull out time. Hasbro has been prettying up the chicks recently but none will ever have webgear straining from the implied size of their jugs like pic related. Titty monster cheesecake GI Joe babes are never coming back.
>NYCC exclusive fag disappears after Lara is actually shown off
>>11829712Retro Cover Girl and Pythona actually have a nice pair.
>>11829733>Retro Cover GirlBoobs aren't straining her clothes like Lady Jaye figures did back in the day. In fact her jacket covers her boobs at all angles except the front.>Pythona>mutant almost bald woman that might not even have the right genitals has a nice rackCool, shame about the rest of her. My working theory is Pythona and subsequent villainesses are allowed to be sexy by female Joes are not.
>>11829738>mutant almost bald woman that might not even have the right genitals has a nice rackneat that your head canon immediately jumps to trannies
>>11829740Give um a break, they can only cum to GI Joe figures so they're backed up
>>11829708Thats one way to publicly announce how broke you are.
>>11829755everyone plays clearance chicken
>>11829740Pythona isn't a human woman. She's something else so we have no idea what her genitals look like. I'm talking about alien biology here while YOUR MIND jumped to trannies.
>>11829406My only concern is with how badly the figures revealed today looked compared to their render reveals. I'm hoping Lara somehow dodges their fate.
>>11829764>alien biologyliterally no such thingthey followed the same evolutionary path as us, and ended up in the same place, they got two arms, two legs, and the men are bigger than the womenthat's how "alien life" would turn out in real life, tooevolution all leads to the same placefurthermore she has tits
>>11829764Cobra La people are just peopleWhether or not they live for 3000 years or have a weird skin tone, they're still just people, the same way Darth Maul or Spock is
>>11829719I’m still here
>>11829738CG still has an ample pair>>11829413It's amazing how much a nice pair of eyes can fix a shit figure.
>>11829796you shouldn't be
Does anyone here have the Despoiler and does it have conspicuous plug-in spots at the bottom for a potential future DEMON?
>>11829775>>11829781>they're just le humans!They distinctly pride themselves on being superior to humans in the movie because of their biological symbiosis with their technology. Their armor, clothing, and weapons all connect to them organically. They aren't humans.
>>11829811I didn't say humans, I said people, and used examples of people that are not humans. You think you're smarter than you are, but you're retarded and you're only making this argument because you're that upset about the tranny comment.Anything that walks on two legs and has fingers operates in the same way humans do, that's just the mathematics of science, there is literally no argument against it. A billion lightyears from us, there's a planet kinda like earth, and the dominant species are bipedal humanoids 5 to 7 feet tall on average, with two arms, at least 3 fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, and the men have cocks and the females have vaginas and they both have assholes That is the end point of all evolution, this is settled science.And, again, Pythona has tits.
>>11829411Redemption. They basically used the same parts I used on my custom. Granted, I replaced the webbing and shirt hem with a 3D printed one + cloth because I wanted a removable knife, but for a mass market figure this is about as good as I'd expect. Also it was smart to give him a conventional shotgun, the folding SPAS-12 was always a flimsy mess and felt too small for a 6" figure.Overall, the retro card looks like it'll be a very cartoon accurate looking figure and I've already talked to someone who skipped the original Falcon and he's really excited about the retro card version.
>>11829811>they aren't human, they're blue!lmao
>>11829406Looks great, I've been wanting a 1/12 classic Lara forever and couldn't figure out a good custom recipe for one that didn't involve a lot of resculpting (sculpting epoxy, for me at least, has a high chance of resulting in "Crayola kludge").
>>11829821It's no different from black people eventually turning white once exposed to England's bad food anon
>>11829855cobra la people look more like you and I than most black people
>>11829819>they look like humans therefore they are!I didn't realize humans can literally assimilate other organisms onto their skin to act as clothing or armor. My mistake>>11829821>ignores my point entirelyThey can do things no other organism on planet Earth can do. There is no mammal that can wear living armor or pilot a living organism like a vehicle via organic symbiosis. Cobra-La considers humanity to be a affront to their entire worldview because our technology is made of inorganic matter.

Did either of you two morons even listen to Globulus when he speaks in the movie?Why do you consider humanoids that ALTER themselves form their ORIGINAL, ALMOST EXACTLY HUMAN shapes by ADDING things to themselves to not be basically just humans?Do you think a guy in a cyperpunk story with a super advanced techno arm that has a hidden sword and guns inside of it also not count as human?What about those people in real life who tattoo tiger stripes all over their body and surgically alter their faces to look like cat faces and get fang caps permanently attached to their normal teeth?
>>11829857>Did either of you two morons even listen to Globulus when he speaks in the movie?did you happen to notice that golobulus is literally just a bald white man with a bunch of crap glued onto him?
>>11829882>riding a horseThe Cobra-La people do not ride their clothes and armor which are living organisms. Is your shirt alive? How about your pants? For Cobra-La people every thing is organic, alive and they interact with these organics by physically melding their flesh.>>11829887>ALTER themselves form their ORIGINAL, ALMOST EXACTLY HUMAN shapesNowhere does it say Cobra-La people are all organic cyborgs. Their bodies naturally can assimilate other organisms. >>11829890>still using the "he looks le human" argumentHe literally describes himself as not a man nor a human at all. If they were as "normal" as you say they wouldn't all need to hide in a fucking mountain for centuries. They could easily blend into human society and undo it. Except they don't. They just send one guy who is fully covered from head to toe. Also his scars from the lab accident made it impossible to tell he's a Cobra-La creature hence why he was chosen.

>>11829406Now I need a Classified Duke Nukem.
>>11829406Eh, not the worst thing in he world. I do wish her alt head was more in line with the more mature looking original design though, and the bow and arrow are dogshit accessories, should've been the pump action shot gun from the original games. The rest of the reveals are real nice though, I'm honestly surprised by how much I want Falcon seeing as I have almost no love for the character. He's different enough from the previous two releases to be worth grabbing....and I can give Lara his shotgun. >>11829506He's a techno-zombie hipster hacker. He's just a perfect Tool villain for everyone to pick on.>>11829532They've actually done something like that back with their Fortnite figures. One of the characters, Joules the mechanic chick, actually had a soft rubbery plastic tank top over her hard plastic torso. Though her boobs were sculpted into the tank top itself so it's not like you could see cleavage if you took it off. But on the other hand, it meant she actually had squishy boob tech. Incredibly underrated figure for a line that disappeared way too quickly. >>11829577It would be awesome if it did, I would love to pick up a pair for cheap to flank the white one. Would need more Ramp Rats to help flesh out the mech launch bay if I did that though...and then I'd have to whip up a Mech launch bay. >11829549Why do so many morons like being wrong on the internet.
>>11829935It's ckearly a direct tie in to the Legacy of Atlantis, that is why she comes with those accessories and has that design. I have no idea why it isn't literally called Legacy of Atlantis Lara Croft/have the game title on the box or why none if them mentioned it.
>>11829939because they're just treating it like a generic catchall lara, which is smartand who knows if they'll do 3 more Laras next year or whatever, wetsuit, brown tank top, some deluxe version with a panther
No way they do 5 Cobra vehicles for 2027 next year with The FANG, Thunder Machine, Water Moccasin, Arctic Stinger and Stealth CLAW.Three of those have to be fake.
>>11829943I need a version that comes with a butler I can lock in her freezer.
>>11829968the water moccasin is the least likely onebut anything mid size and especially repaints are a safe betthunder machine would be an easy 200 MTO for next year, which they could reveal this year
>>11829943>some deluxe version with a pantherThey do have that Guenhwyvar mold sitting idle....
>>11829932Based.They could do repaints for Dick Kickem and Dick Suckem.
>>11829943The three they should do are Thames Lara, Nevada Lara, and Russian base Lara
>>11829968I see them settling into a pattern of repaints kept expensive with lots of unnecessary retooling probably well into next year. I don't expect any new original vehicle for a long time. It's a shame to be in year 7 of the line with no FANG or Firebat in sight.
>>11828248Hype for gi joe died down for me when it became exclusively 1/12 but i know most fans wanted this but i wish hasbro would still make other scales still
>>11830174they doyou aren't buying them
>>11830174They licensed off the O-ring stuff to Super7, and those figures are alright.
>>11828487Notice we were promised 5 renders yesterday. They just got around to posting the 5th. I think I actually prefer this look to however his original deco will look on him. Night Force Psyche Out
>>11829551Let's be real though, Snake Eyes was an awful movie and I would argue that despite the story feeling like it was written by a 7 year old, it was too dark for kids. The main character is a moral gray character who is out for revenge and works with criminals, and that is not GI Joe. It was doomed to flop as soon as they started wringing the concept of Snake Eyes through the HR department, and what came out the other end was a new character who had absolutely nothing to do with Snake Eyes. White guy becomes a ninja? Too colonial, make him Asian. Oh, and we can't have him wear a mask, because that's hiding his diversity. Oh, and we can't make him mute, because that's silencing a minority. Also he can't be part of the army because the US Army represents imperialism.Snake Eyes got reduced to a costume that only shows up at the very end of the movie so they could sell an action figure. And then in an act of poetic justice, after removing all of Snake Eyes' lore, traits and immutable characteristics, all in the name of turning him into some generic asian dude on a revenge quest at the altar of social justice, kung floo happened and it completely destroyed whatever audience the generic ninja revenge movie called Snake Eyes might have attracted.
>>11830322>White guy becomes a ninja? Too colonial, make him Asian. Oh, and we can't have him wear a mask, because that's hiding his diversity. Oh, and we can't make him mute, because that's silencing a minority. Also he can't be part of the army because the US Army represents imperialism.Sadly accurate. >Snake Eyes got reduced to a costumeHe/she/they/zher/thou still is just a swappable costume. Thank liberal Hasbro. You really don't think they'd let their primary hero remain as a blonde-haired White dude, do you?
>>11830308>they found a way to un-gay the original. Not bad.
>>11830327I wonder how many Dawns ended up at Ollie's or Ross? Snake Eyes is my favorite character but this is the one "variant" that I can definitively say I will not be adding to my collection.
>>11829406Yikes.
>>11830332Liberals don't care for maintaining continuity. To them the past is a foundation to build what they want on. And why bother creating something new when something already done is readily available to "reinterpret for a modern audience?"
>>11830339The fuck are you talking about?
>>11830341The reason for SE becoming an Asian dude and a Taco-American.
Anyone willing to spoon-feed me lore about Synapse? Where is he from? Is he of like mole rat or is he an idw creation? Also I'd like to thank the anon posting overkill in the previous thread, your pics sold me on getting the figure. It was likely the pic you posted with frag viper staring at overkill that convinced me I'd enjoy the figure.
>>11830356He's probably meant to be a character alongside Overkill with being a BAT/corpse hybrid.
>>11830308I like it. I don’t love it. They omitted a ton of the details that make him unique looking, particularly his padded undershirt. Losing the dishes on his wrist was a good idea though. Also, after all this time we are finally getting handsome head sculpts. Flash’s head also looks awesome.
>>11830356He's a brand new figure for classified.
>>11830332what the fuck are you talking to yourself aboutthe figure came out like five minutes ago
>>11830308De-Night Forced Psyche Out.
>>11830404More zombies incoming
>>11830567How you like the big robot? I saw people saying it felt too hollow but since you can put a toy inside of it that kind of seemed like the point
>>11830568NTA but my only problem with the SNAKE armor is the detachable hands pop off too easilynot randomly, but the joints are pretty sturdy and require some force to move, and most of the time one if not both of the hands/gun hands will pop outotherwise it's just a cool mech
>>11830570Yeah I also think its a cool mech and while it does feel hollow it also feels like it will survive falling off the top shelf despite how big it is. It's strange, its like flimsy but I dont think it breaks easily.But you're right those claws are motherfuckers. I dont know why they couldn't have connected better
>>11830567
>>11830584imagine keeping perfection trapped in a box
>>11830568The details inside the the robot are nice.Everything seems hollow about it, the arms and legs. I think it’s OK, not my favorite.Like this anon mentioned >>11830570The hands fall off, I wish the fingers are articulated.>>11830584I’m going to open her… I have a back log of a bunch of Joes I need to open.I’m having fun with the Cobra La guard, wish I grabbed two.>>11830599I will escape her tomorrow.
>>11830412Yeah, this is the one I want.
The Snake armor is fun. It has great shelf presence. The cockpit opening / closing in multiple parts is what sold it for me. I love that shit. That’s where the greatness ends though. The articulation sucks ass. As others have mentioned it “feels” flimsy, but it’s not. I think the main reason people get that impression is because all the limbs rattle a bit. They have some play in them so they don’t break. It’s definitely built solid. You could throw it across a room and not break it. As for the hands falling off, a dab of super glue solved that. And now the there is enough friction that the part behind the hand turns instead of the hand which looks cool with all the mechanical detailing on there rotating
>Comes with all that stuff>No red sunglassesSo sick of this shades erasure. This used to be one of Lara's iconic accessories. Bring them back
>>11830759the color red is an alt right dogwhistle, they couldn't let her be associated with redtheir intention was to ruin lara and take her away from toxic males with that reboot trilogy
>>11830759Got to leave something for the customizers and 3rd party item producers
>>11830759>cool>sexy>charmingMy Lara.
>>11830584>>11830599I still have mine in the box too, not because I'm going to keep it there but because I haven't figured out where the hell I'm going to display my Rattler yet because it's so big.
>>11830810that's why they box the figures separately from the haslab vehicle you know
>>11830820Yeah but I don't want to spoil it, I want to open it all up at once.
I wanted Tiger Force Duke, not whatever this Duke is.
>>11830827they did tiger force duke
>>11830827
>>11830829>>11830887>outdated mold>stupid shin and knee guards>head sculpt significantly worse than the first one for no reason>not brunette>no helmet
>>11830889you're saying duke is too generic?
>>11830759It's not classic Lara. It's modern Lara in classic Lara's clothes.
>>11830887>>11830889I forgot, but I admit that's because my mental default for that look is the Arcade version which turns the saturation way up
>>11829775>>11829781You're that type of faggot who says a lamia or centaur isn't furfag bait because half of it is a woman
Joefest 2026 begins today. We already know Reaction+ will be showing some stuff. It'll be interesting to see if Hasbro surprises us with anything.
>>11831074They aren't. Now go be a fag somewhere else. The adults are talking.
>>11829406>comes with the dagger of xian from TRIIthis immediately forgives the nulara bow. peak accessory pick. My only real gripe now is no ruby shades
>>11830332>I wonder how many Dawns ended up at Ollie's or Ross????She's just barely out.
>>11830404Guess I didn't look hard enough, I didn't see this yesterday.
>>11831098All she needs are her dual guns, shades, shotgun, backpack, and jade dragon
>>11831197and a save crystal. How am I supposed to save my game without my save crystal?
So I'm kinda interested in the Lara figure, but I'm not into GI Joes. How is their modern female articulation?
>>11829549Go drink some more orange koolaid from the reflecting pool, lol.
>>11830887That McFarlane Aquaman that I bought on clearance for kitbash parts was worth every penny.
>>11831225They have every joint you'd expect, including drop-down hips, and they're pretty good except for some really dumb issues: they have both a ball waist and a ball diaphragm, but they often have poor range each; they often can't bring their arms down, and the butterflies are barely functional, allowing them to bring their arms parallel forward at best.
>>11831225It's good in every way instead of having the arms be able to go straight down (they can't). Hasbro has yet to figure out how to do that.
>>11831251>>11831239Arms straight down seems like the most simple shit. Still for having mild interest and not wanting to buy a third party Laura, this would be fine. Unless it's like, 50 bucks or something stupid like that. Thanks for the responses.
>>11831260Is there a third party Lara in 1/12?
>>11831268I could have swore I saw one before but it could have been a different scale, or maybe even official.
>>11831268After this absolute Hasbro slop there better be. The window of opportunity for this is right now, closing fast.
>>11831237
>>11831074>angry furfag out of nowherelmao
>>11831300What's wrong with the GI Joe Lara outside of the climbing hooks being too big? Like I'm all for shitting on Hasbro, especially if the price is retarded. We also haven't seen any actual pictures of it, just a render. The render looks fine to me at least.
>>11831406Soft sculpt, crappy paint job, ugly joints, gummy plastic etc etc. Of course I will buy it, but only because there are no options
>>11831414Have they shown in hand photos yet?
>>11831406I don't like it being Nu-Lara. They should have gone with classic Lara.
>>11831414>Soft sculpt, crappy paint job, ugly joints, gummy plasticthese aren't problems endemic to every figure>>11831429are you retarded?
Hyped for the Leaky Suit Brigade. You think we'll get Toxo-Zombies too, or does Mole Rat make those redundant?
>>11831447Hope they end up getting to Eco Warriors. I want those versions of Toxo-Viper and Toxo-Zombie. And probably want the Sludge Viper more.
>>11831453they mentioned eco warriors when they were showing off the toxo viper on the last stream
>>11831454Oh nice. Didn't even see that part, as I was just kind of skipping around the stream after the fact.
>>11831456It's like anything else, it's probably on a whiteboard somewhere as a possibility, but who knows?They've shown they're willing to basically do whatever, but it's a balancing act between repaints and exclusives to soothe the budget, and I'm sure ninja force and ghost niggas are the safer bet for store exclusive sub brands than eco warriors or star brigade
>>11831459They'd probably be better off doing new ideas like Cobra's "DIRE" team than going with eco-warriors.
Super7 just dropped new images ahead of tomorrow's Joefest. I'm alright with glow-in-the-dark BAT.
>>11831670those look like they should be edible
>>11831670
>>11831679these too, but they won't taste as good as the cobra onesthe cobra ones look like bomb pops
>>11831670They put a new head on the BAT to make it look closer to the original.
>>11831684
>>11831769
>>11831771RamenToys "Wolverine" at Joe FEst. This thing looks amazing.
>>11831774when did that General Lee come out?
>>11831775a while back, but he's re-releasing it with the figures included sometime in the future
>>11831785that could be cool, if daisy looks good enough
>>11831774So they totally messed up Heavy Metal's Jacket, and I don't think he even has a mustache, but I can guarantee that Hasbro won't give him the confederate belt buckle whenever they get around to making him.
>>11831788This is the only picture they have of her on facebook, and the face looks photoshopped to me. Maybe someone at Joefest can get a closeup of those prototypes this weekend.
>>11831796yeah that face does look odd, even just from the skintone of the face
>>11831794If I had a nickle for every Joe vehicle driver that had a confederate belt buckle, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but its odd it happened twice.
>>11831796
>>11831542Not really. DIRE sucks donkey balls and is lazy ass recycling garbage as well.Eco Warriors gives us the definitive Toxi Vipers, a super cool hazmat Flint, and motherfucking Cesspool. Not to mention you can create new versions of existing Joe characters to fill the ranks.
>>11831809Surname is a panzer generaloberst's, and he has a Confederate States buckle while being from Brooklyn. Whole lot of lols with ol' Heavy Metal.
>>11831838>DIRE sucks donkey ballsincorrecttake your gay EPA shit back to the blue states, bitch
>>11831794Doesn't look like they messed anything up. It's a prototype.
>>11831684They already did that with PP BAT
>>11831826Is it licensed?
Weeb Scarlett in hand pics
>>11832028
>>11832028>>11832029They nerfed tf out of her chest, but the face is an upgrade at least. Hope the guy posts a head swap
>>11832036yeah, I'm just gonna pop the head onto the retro body and use the oni mask on this one
>>11831443Are you? It's obviously based on how she looks in the upcoming remake.
>>11832052>They should have gone with classic LaraNo, retard, they shouldn't have.They should make it look like how she's going to look in the game in its a tie-in to.
>>11831447>that imageLMAO
>>11832036They went out of their way to make sure she had no tits, huh?
>>11832057The shitty game no one will buy?Yeah I think you've got a point there.At the very least, the toy will be able to keep up in terms of sales figures. Success.
>>11832057Classic Lara built the fan base. Nu-Lara left Square-Enix with a $300 million debt, so they gave away the company for free in exchange for assuming that debt. And the taker was coincidentally the very same company responsible for creating that debt (Crystal Dynamics) who had the money to take it over after making Square-Enix take a massive loss. Fuck nu-Lara. The Uncharted games were somehow more like classic Tomb Raider than the actual 3rd-gen TR games themselves were.
>>11832187>The shitty game no one will buy?We all know they'll slip "woke" crap in there. They've already turned Tomb Raider into "team diversity against evil White colonists looting other people's culture and also Lara's a lesbian." They're not gonna turn back now. They think they can be sneaky and manipulative with "unified Lara" with having nu-Lara wear OG Lara's clothes, but that shit's not gonna work.
>>11832036>the face is an upgrade at least Her head is too small and his is too big. So many issues like this throughout the line
>>11832233Nigga hasn't played the new games at all
>>11832233You're such a strong warrior. Good boy, you earned a free burger from your orange messiah.
>>11832369It's really funny when you see these retards that make up bullshit in their own heads, that doesn't even exist, just to get mad at it. Cracks me up.
>>11832229Take the number of people who know Lara Croft and then subtract 80% of them. That's your number for how many people know or care about the original Lara.
>>11832369I did. I also saw the Amazon cartoon which you apparently missed.
>>11832397Your shit-slinging doesn't change the fact that Nu-Lara sank the franchise, so they put her in OG Lara's clothes to try to get the fans back. >>11832400The biggest thing for me is her parents aren't dead. She survived a plane crash in the mountains, and along the way of trying to survive she got a lust for the adventure and treasure-hunting. Her parents disowned her for not setting down with a man from another old-money family.
>>11832404No one watched the Amazon show. None of the games were like what you said.
>>11832409The GI Joe figure is basically in her original outfit though. Like I genuinely don't get why you're this upset.
>>11832233>not finding lesbians hotYou gay? That's kinda gay, not liking girls. You may wanna pray it away before it really settles in.
>>11832431New one's done. I cleared out a lot of the rumored section since nothing seems to be coming from any of it
>>11832420don't bother, they're acting like the reboot shit was recentthose games came out 10 years ago and crashed and burned by the third one
>>11832420The devil's in the details. The small boobs and the accessories all point to nu-Lara in what Crystal Dynamics calls "unified Lara." The only things that anchor it to classic Lara are the dagger of Xian and her dual pistols.
>>11832438And the outfit, and the two pistols, and the hair.
>>11832440And I got accused oh not following Tomb Raider? Fuck. You don't get it Nu-Lara sank TR. Crystal Dynamics is trying to save it by not changing a damn thing, but putting her in classic Lara's clothes to try to lure TR fans back.
>>11832445>You don't get it Nu-Lara sank TR.The last actual "nu Lara" came out in 2018, retard.
>>11832028>>11832036Why do toyphotographers self censor themselves. Show the damn cleavage. I bet this guy also say unalive instead of kill.
