>>11859012They should have included an action face, if nothing else as an homage to the original game having exactly two faces ingame: neutral and shooting.
>>11859033You vill take the "overthinking her life choices" Lara and you vill like it!
>>11859012It's honestly better than I expected. The price sucks, but Hasbro and Crystal Dynamics know that the fanbase has waited 30 years for an actually good Lara figure, so they both know that they don't have to let it sell cheap. >>11859033Personally, I'm not a fan of action faces because most of the time it looks like they're trying to take a hard shit.
>>11858996One of the rare times hasbro doesn't make the female face look like a tranny
>>11859105Rare? Retro-card Cover Girl, Rattler Baroness, Zanya, Snowcat Lady Jaye, and most versions of Scarlett were all great.
>>11859141Some people just like saying stupid shit on the internet, that poster is just one of many.
Anyone with a Turtle-fly got a pic of it with Classified figure in the cockpit with the canopy closed?
Finally, a non-tranny looking female figure. Some people just like saying stupid shit on the internet because they can't tell the difference between male and female.

It looks like we’ll get a Dreadnok on each mainline wave release in 2027:Flatline, Zanzibar, ThrasherAnd that’s not counting an exclusive SF Road Pig
Man I wish I had City Strike Snake Eyes.>>11858049I want to like these but the edges look very soft.
>>11859248Also the rumored vehicle Dreadnok cycle with Heartwrencher
>>11859248With them needing to hype up the Thunder Machine MTO, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a Dreadhead army builder.
>>11859248Heartwrencher was briefly rumored too.>>11859270Remember when hasbro did the made-to-order Arctic HISS, and at about the same time they offered an Arctic Cobra 3-pack? I wouldn't be surprised at seeing a dreadnok 2-pack or 3-pack right about the time the Thunder Machine releases.
>>1185901243 us dollars. It isn't a hard decision.
Didn't they say they would explain the no haslab thing at sdcc during YJJ? What was the explanation?
Trubble Bubbles continue to show up on Facebook. Reviews have been positive, saying it’s bigger and higher quality than the vintage version.
Everything inside comes packed in a clamshell to hold it secure. There are no stickers. Super7 printed on the Cobra emblems.
>>11859292There's none. They're just quietly forgetting about it. >>11859291It's over-priced, but it's the best version of Lara in figure form to date, so fuck it
Size comparison with a vintage Trubble Bubble.
They sculpted details on the interior and there’s no clip or backpeg in the seat, so a modern era Joe could fit in the seat. A 3D render showed a backpeg that thankfully isn’t there on the final version.
The included Cobra Trooper is very nice. He appears to have tan or brown skin as an army builder variant, suggesting the single carded version will be a white guy.
Comparison with other Hasbro Cobra Troopers.

Brian Flynn says Ultimates will continue with new added articulation like their 2003 TMNT figures.
>>11859357Just lower the prices and stop deliberately giving the female figures fridge-bodies.
Comic book artists are fucking toast.
>>11859380Super7 said they could get the price down if they could break into being on retail shelves more and eliminate their made to order pre-orders. Brian Flynn implied that if he had a section at Target like Neca does he could do it. That’s why they made a Godzilla line that they primarily sell at Target. They could maybe make Reaction+ cheaper if not for the fact that mostly the Joe sells in high demand. Some things, while cool like the Back to the Future figures just don’t fly off pegs like Joe does. Joe has such high turn around that figures are in hand before they get announced or within days of being announced.
>>11859395>tfw you'll never be assaulted at your secret base by an eight foot tall Lara Croft
>>11859339I like the way he looks. Has Super7 done a Cobra Trooper army building pack yet?
>>11859485They mentioned the idea a few times. But no clue if Cobra Troopers will just have a standard run. They really need to be over produced.
A few more Trubble Bubble pics
>>11859357but the whole point of ultimates was to make cartoon looks that hasbro will never actually make? if those aren't selling no ones gonna fucking buy a $75 ramar super 7 continues to make baffling decisions
>>11859718The price did hurt them, and so did the 7" size. Deliberately shitty bodies on all the females didn't help either. If they bring Ultimates back then hopefully they'll get those things sorted out.
Energon comics are introducing a new DIRE Tech user for Cobra in the fall: Major Medusa.
>>11858996As a sex symbol her ass needs more shape.
>>11860188you might be retarded
>>11860391anons right, for 45, there better be some ass
All I wanted was Lara and of course she sold out.
>>11860188they gave her a big ol dumper instead of something sexy. they blew it.
>>11859395This ain't it chief.
>>11859940And how many years will it take to get a figure for that one?
>>11859940>Cyber Spider-Gwen.No thanks.
>>11860502I like the character design. It fits in nicely with classic and modern Joe costume design. My only problem with it is if Hasbro made a figure for it, then well Hasbro has apparently decided that the DIRE sub-line is Walmart exclusive, so I'd be fucked trying to actually find it.
>>11859489>But no clue if Cobra Troopers will just have a standard runwith the number of times they re-used Snake Eyes, BAT, and Cobra Commander molds I expect there'll be one or two more Cobra troops to come out of it. >>11859940They could easily re-tool battle armor Baroness with Zanya's face but different hair and hood to make that one. Throw in some clear green plastic shit from the other DIRE figures.
>>11860396It's alright bro, I got one so it's all good.
>>11860396The pre-order sold out. There'll be plenty on launch on October 1 as they'll want to make as money as they can from it.

>>11860776I don’t think Voltar will be a deluxe. Spirit came with Freedom but he wasn’t a deluxe.
>>11860838.....but both of them are already wearing desert camo colors, what could they possibly repaint them into? Add Spearhead and Max and you got yourself a full on Desert Squad without needing to do recolors of any of em. Also Duke 3....or 4. Four has better colors, but three has the cool missile chair.

>>11860925We get a new cobra commander every year.This year was hooded king CC.Last year was Battle armor CC.Makes sense for 2027 being arctic CC.It’s probably a retro 40th anniversary movie figure because he wore it at the beginning of the movie.
eric siebenaler taking over
>>11860972Hopefully he'll do more to listen and respond to what fans want instead of padding the line with all sorts of crap to keep it going longer. With Tony and the other guy out of the way, maybe now we can get a Firebat and improved version of battle armor Baroness.
>>11860972Why does he talk like a retarded zoomer?
>>11860972Oh shit. This guy made god tier Transformers stuff
>>11860981>retarded zoomerIt's the most pr gen x paragraph I've ever read, wtf are you talking about
>>11860979>Classified BackblastOne day
BigBadWorkShop announced they’re making DOOM figures, presumably based off the original game. They’ll be Classified scale.
>>11860641B-but what about me?
>>11859325It's so plain looking, they should have given a proper paint deco or some more molding to make it pop
>>11861019Just in time to celebrate the mass layoff of ID employees, woohoo... thank's Microjeet...
>>11861019>classic doom guy in 6inIs BBTW the most based toyline ever?
>>11860972I don't know who this dude is, but after a quick skim of some of his art, I like a lot of what he does. Would love to see a sub-line of his OC Joe stuff and while practically impossible, his Silverhawk stuff would make for great cartoon designs. Now my only question is what fictional cartoon band can he bring to live to play a concert at NYCC?>>11860979You keep making this moronic claim but haven't once even tried to back it up with any evidence of it happening. They've been putting out fan favorite figures and vehicles since the start of the line and have done pretty much all the major vehicles in order of original 80s releases and popularity. I can't think of one vehicle released to date that wasn't absurdly popular and most figures from the early years of the original one have already been made. >>11861019Awesome, maybe their Doom Guy will actually be able to hold a shotgun!
>>11861043they also made the tick so i'd say yes
>>11861020I reckon more will become available, it'll probably come into stock again on Pulse and Amazon etc. but if not, I'm sure it will at release.
>>11861019Thank god. FUCK McFarlane!
>>11860188>>11860398I hate to break it to you, but the Classified line, other than having some handsome faces for the men (and certainly better than Hasbro has given Legends or other lines they put out with unmasked head scuplts, like Indiana Jones) and a few decent heads for a few Joe females (and here nothing as good as a Legends female with sex appeal), has done nothing that anyone will want to get erect over.Unless a tank or well equipped set of weapons on a dude is what makes you tent up ....
>>11861092If joe starts to look like that triangle DC shit or pixar disney style. I'm done.
>>11861371>Classified>__ass___Butt it's literally in the name!
>>11861019Oh please don't fuck this up!
>>11861040I never feel bad for game devs getting shitcanned unless they put out consistently good work.Bethesda doesn't.
Did they Rerelease range viper? He's at the top of the classifieds on hasbro
>>11861561Yes they did.They also plan to rerelease Arctic BAT too.
>>11861371>Apparently never saw Rattler Baroness in person.
>>11859940>Cobra womb tattoo Well okay
>>11861833>Womb tattoo >Over clothes Well, no one ever said Joe fans were intelligent
now it all make sense why the TM is a cheese wedge. it was never about the licensing of the front part. its just Hasbro being cheap fuckbags.
>>11862065The impression I got is they're trying to make it look like a dragster funny car that got converted into the thunder machine. But that gif is pretty compelling.
>>11861964Yeah I can tell by this response
Got the Monster Force Red Demon and the paints kinds sloppy on just one of the swords. I imagine the paint would scrape off anyway from putting in the scabbard anyway but its strange
Also this is in the realms of "who cares" because I'm not gonna pose this thing with his back to me but they didnt glue these horns in correctly
>>11859940For a medusa, her hair sure is short.
>>11862112It appears to be a not uncommon issue.
I still remember the Witchblade/Fathom/Tomb Raider crossover comic books. They were alright.
>>11861964Its clearly over her clothes but calling it a womb logo didnt feel right
>>11862112Hair dryer & see if you can turn them?
>>11862065>>11862071......but it's still two entirely different molds.>>11862131......you could just call it a belt buckle.
>>11861019will the demons be huge and have huge guts?
>>11862144>Belt buckle >When theres no beltIts the same problem
>>11862190>>11861964This is autistic
>>11862191Welcome to 4chan
>>11862065But wasnt the Transformer of it they made recently accurate??
>>11862265Yet you had to buy multiple Zanyas to have multiple swamp skiers.
>>11862265Yea, sound like this guy is talking out his ass. Hasbro also just did the KITT transformer, another Pontiac Trans Am. They probably used AI to make the digital render and trying to make an excuse as to why it looks so off.
>>11862526Well the thing is I know >>11855603 this is just a AI enhanced version of the comic con blurry pic. I dont know if a real version has actually been posted yet
>>11862546If you're only looking here it hasn't been posted but this >>11862065 was taken from one
Anybody else order the Turtles crossover from BBTS? Hoping to see some movement soon.
>>11862576I have them all on order but they will be my only toys in that scale and the only modern turtles I'll have as well. Was expecting them to be out of stock so that kinda worries me.
>>11862526It still requires licensing fees. Look at $27 Lara selling for $44. It's a smart move to keep the cost down by not using the Pontiac front end. I just wish it was wider.
lol. lmao even
>>11862126Speaking of, I'm seeing a lot of people have the skin tone paint of the H. P. Lovecraft head bleeding onto the hair like mine. I guess they didnt know you should paint the hair last?
>>11863049How the fuck is it a 3-pack? Are they counting the dog as a figure to justify jacking up the price?
>>11863055Same company that called this a 3-pack, so yes
>>11863055It is technically a three pack but it doesn't make it any less annoying
>>11863050Yeah, they have some issues with paint errors, too.
>>11863055>Are they counting the dog as a figureIts fucked up because I agree it shouldnt be called a three pack but the dog is objectively a figure
Is this the same giant head as the Night Force? I was hoping they'd do a new one
>>11863066So $75 because the dog counts as a figure? Got it. Fuck that.
>>11863121Sorry retard you forgot you currently live in HellIt's also cheaper then if they were sold separately in this evil world we currently live in so getting mad they're calling it a three pack is pointless because they're not actually charging more for it
>>11863144Oh also it will be $40 in 6 months after release
>>11863144I'd rather have them separate since I'm not interested in Footloose.
>>11859940Is DIRE Tech going to be the source of JEM's power to make her fit into the GI Joe timeline? The Joe steal the DIRE tech and repurpose it for their benefit and test it out on a rando green shirt girl. They name it J.E.M., Junction-linked Exoskeletal Mask, and now it's pink because it compliments the yellow green of DIRE Tech.
>>11863169Then you can wait until January when its 50% off and then sell Footloose in two years
>>11863057What a beautiful family. :)
>>11862109>>11862112>>11863050I kept hearing about monster force but put off looking into it till just now. How did they get away with this?
>>11863193Its based on a real person reporting them looking like that. I have two of those and mine are completely fine, although someone in these threads said theirs had a melted ear but never posted proof
>>11863226Like a real cryptid/alien? Forgive my ignorance, I immediately thought of that Glowy meme.
>>11863174Jem's tech is all holograms while DIRE energy is supposedly derived from Cobra mining energon and weaponizing it.
>>11863193It looks like Nightcrawler from the X-Men in a suit.
>>11863240Men in Black have been a thing for decades, I first heard of them back in the 90s on Unsolved Mysteries https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Men_In_BlackIf the wiki wasnt gay it would say the episodes title instead of the air date and I would have linked that instead so maybe that's why they dont
>>11863174what would you do if they added Jem and her gang to the Classified series?
>>11863174I'd rather it be just a random musician who comes across the DIRE tech and uses it to help people while being a better performer. Cobra goes after her because she stole their stuff and the Joes have to help her because Cobra is after her. This way she can still be an active part of the storyline but still be, and hopefully, spin off into her own story. It's crazy that Hasbro has failed so many times at making a giant "shared universe" of all their toylines when it's so easy to accomplish they did it entirely by accident back in the 80s.>>11863258Make it so her father was one of the original engineers of the tech who was taken out because he wanted to stop Cobra from weaponizing it, and she stumbles upon the proto-type, pre-weaponized version of the tech to use for good. Cliche story yes, but essentially her origin anyway and nobody really cares about backstory for genres like this. >>11863310If they're as good as all the rest of the females and the Cold Slither set, I'd buy em all. Especially the fancy Rockin Roadster. They can replace the crappy FM radio with a crappy built in Bluetooth speaker.
>>11863392Oddly enough the Hasbro Legends TV channel has Jem as one of two cartoons that they show 7 days a week as if it's a big hit for them. The other being GI Joe. Jem only ran for two seasons, and I don't see a lot of girls today relating to big poofed-up pink and blue hair.
>>11863174>Jem was essentially the original Vtuber>That horse series 2010 show managed to become a huge hit even among males>Hasbro refuses to put two and two together to have their own attempt at aiming for the Vocaloid/Hololive audience.
>>11863651Wasn't Jem their big girls hit back in the day?
>>11863726Yes, but if it ws still popular then they'd be selling the Jem toys like they've been doing with GI Joe. In a modern setting My Little Pony is more popular even if the people who like it are all gay and trans men. I haven't seen that one on yet.
>>11863758Yeah, but isn't Hasbro Legends TV just stuff that WAS a hit? Is even G.I. Joe a big seller among kids?
The timing of the new Street Fighter Movie and a big push for Ninja Force can't be a coincidence. Will NYCC in October when the SF movie releases finally be the big reveal for SF x GI Joe Classified now that the Series is open to collabs. Hasbro also buying the license for the SF movie figures is also telling. Man I really hope they do it.
>>11863800I think some of it like Big Bad Beetleborgs is filler, but overall it's been shows that have had new stuff out for over the past few years. And cartoons overall are infomercials to sell toys. Jem is the only head-scratcher because it's on 7 days a week in spite of having no supporting toy line since it ended in 1987. My only guess is the cartoon does somehow get the ratings enough to pay for keeping it on.
>>11863851maybe they're trying to drum up interest again
Reject 6 inch. Embrace 4 inch.
>>11863859That's possible. >>11863962We'd get cheaper and a bigger variety of vehicles that way.
>>11863962Someone would have to be putting out some worthwhile 4 inch stuff first. Only thing sort of interesting thing is Acid rain, and even they are now starting to take the 1/12th pill because they obviously are seeing the market there.
>>11863276What? No I've heard of men in black both the concept and the movies. I'm talking about how they transform into black skinned creatures with glowing eyes. There's some conspiracy streamer who died and had a line he said become a meme. He was asked what he'd do if he was being watched by the government and he said something like "CIA niggers glow in the dark, you can run over them with your car". It's why /pol/ calls CIA/FBI agents "glowies".
>>11864353Did you forget Terry David's name
>>11864362Davis'*Auto correct forgive
>>11864353That's a reach.
>>11864362>>11864363No. I just didn't know anything about him.>>11864373I guess. Maybe I should get out more.
>>11863055Yes, they literally said it's a three pack because of the dog during one of the YoJoe June streams
>GI Joe/Tomb Raider collab>Not a collab with a series that also features some military guy doing battle against terrorist organizations with a colorful rogues gallery of different operatives
>>11862130What's funny every time is seeing the "A real American hero" part of Joe's logo, and then the British Lara there.
>>11864535Also ironic is how violent Lara is, what with willing to kill security guards doing their job and endangered species (Including the remaining dinosaurs and yetis) all so she can get stuff to display in her home.
Came across this vid of the Lara at SDCC. 2big for 4chan, so catbox.https://files.catbox.moe/ovllv7.webm
>>11864540The figure looks great. The price sucks, and so does that bandolier strap that I'm hoping is removable..>>11864531MGS is just too obvious and logical and so are Splinter Cell and Syphon Filter. In the Retroblasting video Crystal Dynamics already made it clear that they won't be letting Hasbro or anyone else do any CORE-era versions of Lara.
>>11864540Breast is acceptable. Ass on the other hand....yikes.
>>11864537does she still do all that?I thought they retconned it so she's not being problematic anymore and being an evil colonizer or whatever
>>11864540Ass has a good size, but it's a shame that any shape resembling separate cheeks was apparently forbidden.>>11864582She only kills bad people and animals now, at an average of 400 bad people per game.>>11859066>Personally, I'm not a fan of action faces because most of the time it looks like they're trying to take a hard shit.Delete this.
>>11864564Really athletic women aren't going to have large asses, bro.
>>11864550Crystal Dynamics needs to fuck off already
>>11864657They own the IP. After they sank TR and generated a $300 million loss for Square-Enix, they somehow found the investors (mainly the Embracer Group) to buy it out from Square-Enix. And it totally doesn't look like they deliberately sank it so they could finally own it after pushing aside CORE, Eidos, and Square-Enix. Nah.
>>11864626Who said about large asses? It needs to have a shape of an ass. Even folds or wrinkles on the shorts would help but its non existent here.This is just some shiny diaper.
>>11864678CD is in charge of everything and the figure was made on their terms. They hate Lara even though she's how they make money.
it's weird how Americans can hate something they own and still make money from it
>>11864683Woke is a helluva drug
>>11864683Not Americans; liberals. They see themselves as "global citizens," and only call themselves "patriotic Americans" when it can politically serve them, like now with them claiming that taking in the trash over 50 countries want to get rid of to make their own countries suck less is because they love America while getting everyone to forget all the times they had upside-down flags, burned flags, banned flags for offending non-Americans on American soil, and outright sided with enemies in times of war.And they hate Lara. They want Lara to be who they decide she is, not how she was created. They have zero respect for the people who created and built the property. They see those people who created everything they today are living off of as evil. And they honestly believe that their opinions of how Lara should be are more important than what customers are willing to pay for. That's why they lost so much money.
>>11864692>imageDidn't they still remove things like the Lara gravure posters ingame? So much for "unaltered".
>>11864698They're liars. It surprised no one. You could keep the stuff by refusing to download the update that removes them.
The classified line is now at the point they're reissuing figures. What are some that desperately need one? Those mailaway Steel Brigade would be nice. Retro card StormShadow an SE are another one. Outback could use one as well. Brown jacket Cover Girl but only they fix that head.
>>11864353Them also being aliens is part of the lore and has been since the start, I just saw this as their interpretation of it
>>11864910The obvious one that they'd easily sell the crap out of is Rattler Baroness. I wouldn't mind color-changing Zartan and retro-card Gung Ho showing back up.
>>11863962Nah we need to go even further down to 1/24.
>>11865296MASK-scale? Hasbro seems content with leaving MASK as a dead brand even though it would be easy for them to incorporate the figures and small vehicles into Classified.
>>11864626Ironiclly, athletic women are probably going to have more shapely, defined asses if anything. Most athletic activities require lots of moving, running, walking, cycling, etc. workout the legs and glutes, and Lara spends all her time walking and running through jungles, ruins, and other places. You'd expect her to have a pretty shapely, defined ass.
>>11865732Do me a favor and say this on /fit/
Old Snake in Classified when?
>>11865740Those are gym bros over there. They are body builders and don't get fit by real world activities. Anon is also worng in regards to Lara. She'd actually be almost skin and bones. Max cardio and climbing, ever look at runners and wall climbers. Look at their builds.
>>11865743oh I'd fuggin coomThere's no better time than right the fuck now since MGS4 is getting ported
>>11865743I can see a R+ O-ring version before we'd get a Hasbro Classified version.
>>11865744Watch the Olympics. Even the Black women somehow manage to avoid having big asses.
>>11865744Say that too when you post this >>11865732 there. Come on
>>11864626She's not real, bro.
>>11865892
Huh, looks like having all those Lighting Collection heads is finally gonna be useful for something
>>11865795There was the exclusive figure way back
>>11865740>Do me a favor and say this on /r9k/ the sequelWhy?
>>11865961Throw in super7 being more cartoon-oriented than Classified.
>>11865942Is it me or buying those part packs is a much better deal than buying three figures? You miss the weapons, but you get 10 heads and you don't risk getting the dumb chase logos afaik.
>>11866367Yeah, you just swap the weapons and bases for more head options. The weapons aren't particularly compelling, so just as well buy the sets over complete figures.
>>11864540It's a shame Hasbro are content with what they have stuck to the assplate rather than bothering to re-engineering the ass tech to have the ass molded attached to the legs. I wish Figma did Lara Croft.
>>11865743This, Marissa Faireborne, and Joe Colton are my top three most anticipated figures
>>11863174Jems off limits as Hasbro gave the comic rights to Boom
>>11866500That means nothing. Hasbro still owns the property as apparent with them running the cartoon 7 days a week in an apparent effort to drum up interest.
>>11866500Im going to assume you meant that in terms of Jem showing up in the Skybound GI Joe comic
Super7 teasing a reissue of the Fatal Fluffies. The image suggests it might be a multi-pack for army building, and that it’s a BigBadToyStore exclusive.
>>11863174Jem comics are seperate from Skybound so no Energon universe.But the easy thing is to just say Jessica and Kimber’s dad invented Synergy using Energon as a power source.
I found a random-ass Dire Night Creeper at Walmart yesterday. That's the first time I've seen any of the Dire figures in-store. He was up on the top shelf with a couple of other older figures that don't really get stocked anymore, so I assumed someone tried to hide him or it was a return.It was nice to be able to pick up another one, at least.
>>11866575I'm thinking that someone stashed them to get them later, didn't come back, an employee found them while sorting out shit, and there you go.
>>11866537I would be nice if they're super-sized because in the cartoon they're giants.
>>11866540With GI Joe, Transformers, and Jem all in the same universe, they could really take it in any direction now. Maybe the tech used to create Synergy and help Jem's band "dress up" in holograms is what Cobra uses to project their ghost holograms for their DIRE force. Well really they've already tossed in MASK as being in the same universe even though it originated separately. And I wouldn't complain about a Classified Vanessa and Brad.
>>11867807Hasbro owns the property. They might as well captialize on it instead of paying to maintain copyrights to properties not pulling any revenue in. And shit's been crossing over since the 80s, bro. Cobra Commander appears in Transformers, and news reporter Hector Ramirez appears in Transformers, GI Joe, and Jem.
>>11865942>perfect Tommy and Zach bodies without modificationwow neat. I also have a bunch of lightning heads that don't do anything, but I dunno about setting up a bunch of 30yo teenagers just hanging around either.
>>11867023Not super sized, but BBTS seems to be implying that it’s an army builder 3-pack. Brian Flynn said he wanted to be able to do multi-pack figures before doing some of the major army builders. So Sunbow Cobra Troopers and Bats are all likely to happen some time this year.
>>11867923It appears there’s an alternate headsculpt on one of them.
>>11867695They've tried repeatedly to do some sort of big shared universe and it always falls flat, mainly because they always try to do it the wrong way. It's always start with the big franchise (Transformers) and shoe-horn a reference or easter-egg or something into said media. But without building up the other franchises first, no one will care what's crossing over with what. Hasbro just needs to start doing straight up kids cartoons again. Hire people who care, let them have some fun and tell just the most basic of stories and get these franchises back into the modern media landscape. Pick a streaming platform to cram em all into and see what works and what don't. Hasbro has been wanting to be more of an IP company forever, but if it doesn't actually make use of those IPs, then they're never going to be more then just a toy company.
>>11865942Jeez Louise, those are some fugly assed faced MFers, real AEW D-List wrestling tier.
>>11864678It's the same shitty as on all Classified Series figures, male or female. Compare it to the asses on male or female figures in the Legends Series, since it's the same company, albeit different teams. But they probably use the same factory.Then compare if to the asses on figures from McFarlane, which unless it tries to do pants or suits, has actual asses like your left illustration.I don't own anything from Mattel but apparently their wrestling figures, even the females, at least based on the promo shots on Big Bad and Amazon, is the only major toy line making equally flat, non-existening asses as Classified.
>>11868131>They've tried repeatedly to do some sort of big shared universe and it always falls flat, mainly because they always try to do it the wrong way.That isn't just Hasbro, though, its a byproduct of the MCU. Even though the MCU has gone to shit, and even had few stinkers during its "golden age," they successfully built it up for something like 15 years. Many of these other companies just saw the success Marvel was having, and tried to skip to the end without the years of buildup across dozens of movies. DC tried to do it and failed. There was that shitty attempt at building a "Dark Universe" with the Universal Monsters starting with that Tom Cruise Mummy movie and although I never saw it, I heard that it pretty much shot itself in the foot because it spent too much time trying to lay the groundwork for future movies that it barely focused on its own plot. Hasbro tried to do it with having the GI Joe stinger at the end of one of the Transformers movies.They just can't be bothered to really put in the effort of building shit up on its own before crossing it over. They just want a multi-billion dollar juggernaut multiverse franchise after just one or two half-baked attempts.
Ordered Lara because fuck, there's nothing else and after all these years I'm not expecting anything else either.Action Man too because muh childhood.I'd tie picrel's zipline between two chairs and go nuts.
>>11864550IDGAF how obvious MGS is. I want a 6-inch figure of Revolver Ocelot!
My 2 Pack got pushed back again to the 18th from target.
>>11868581Nevermind they just canceled it.
>>11868131You lost the plot at "hire people who care." Corporate America doesn't do that. They hire people who absolutely hate everything that came before them, and believe they're saving the IP by transforming it into something new "for today's modern audience."
>>11868581>>11868584T\he Transformers pre-orders also got cancelled, seems like the only ones who got away unscathed are the Marvel Legends guys
>>11868548I want a Classified figure of everyone in MGS4. I know that's too much to ask.
>>11868683This, but 3 and 1.
>>11868683>>11868686This but from all the games.
>>11858996Why was the original fatal fluffy reaction figure so goddamn unobtainable? I remember distinctly wanting the first release but it sold out way too quick on super7 and the fatal fluffy strangely wasnt released alongside the rest of the figures from the same wave as the fluffy when they hit target stores so i dont know what gives and why they didnt put the fatal fluffy at target either. Im glad theyre rereleasing them at least thru BBTS but the first release shouldve been more widely available regardless.
>>11868729Some of the R+ Joes take a while to sell, and others disappear almost as soon as they're released. I had a similar experience as you with the Fatal Fluffy being gone in a blink of an eye. I'm also glad for the re-release, but the way things are a 3-pack means triple the price.
>>11868729They’re sold out of the Ninja Force figures and regular Reaction+ near me. They only have Tiger Force Wild Bill, who admittedly looks pretty cool.
>>11858996Range Viper is another really solid figure from Hiya. I love the metallic finish to his paint and his weapons are all awesome. The cylinder for his grenade launcher even rotates.
>>11869196His melee weapons are neat
>>11869198The prices are what suck. They cost more than larger Classified figures do.
Pretty solid price for a 3-pack from Super7.
I hope to see more of these army builder sets.
The new head and fire effect is nice.
Ben Cooper Grunt and Sgt. Slaughter
>>11869444Part of Wave 15 of the Ben Cooper series.
>>11869446And Matt Trakker from MASK.
>>11869434When considering the per-figure cost would only get you two of them if sold separately, I can't complain. They need Dreadnoks including Torch with a whistle to complete the package. >>11869448>>11869446Looks out of place, but hey DEI no matter what.
>>11869446I have a mighty need
>>11869448>>11869459At Hascon years ago they had an interview with a Hasbro employee who said it was racist that Matt Trakker had blonde hair and blue eyes.
>>11869459I dont know if you realize what these are meant to be but theyre toys of kids wearing old Halloween costumes so it's like the one thing where it doesnt actually matter what race they are.
>>11869520Only white kids liked GI Joe and black people werent around in the 80s
>>11869508That's not racist. Replacement is racist.
>>11869360Such is life for a 1/35 collector. You either pay 30 to 35 bucks for a figure that looks good and has modern articulation or you pay 20 to 25 for something that only nostalgic Gen Xers think looks good.
>>11869576 I just toook advantage of the chicken fried toys sale on SmallJoes. $20 bucks a figure for a couple of them. Replaced Alan Grant (whose crotch exploded) with a Buckaroo Body and only had to fill in the neck hole a little.
>>11868386>Hasbro tried to do it with having the GI Joe stinger at the end of one of the Transformers movies.Before that, after Retaliation got a sequel greenlit right after it's opening weekend, Hasbro and Paramount wasted the rest of the 2010s trying to develop a movie that would be a launchpad for a "Hasbro Cinematic Universe" instead of just making a third GI Joe movie. Eventually they just gave up and rebooted with that Snake Eyes movie, then threw it out to die during the Covid lockdowns.
>>11869444>>11869446>>11869448God these pices of shit suck, who is the market for ben cooper crap in 2026?
>>11869815Well, they don't suck, for one. And who's in the market? A ton of people. It's on wave 15. That stuff sells. Stay mad.
How are the reaction figures? Specially wanna know about the Fatal Fluffy ones. Good quality? Wont break easy?
>>11870018They're good quality. Some of them have very soft details that make them really stand out in a vintage collection, but that's not all of them. Unpainted rivets help them stand out too. But overall the quality is good. You do have to be careful with removing them from the blister tray because the blister tray is designed to hold them in and not give them up without a fight. So it's best to push the blister tray away from the figure before trying to get it out.
>>11869576I like the few small 3"/3.5" and 4" figures I have, maybe 10-15 if you don't count movie figure duplicates. With a 12" Godzilla or a huge robot or 12" dino, they can make a fun, secondary or tertiary display or for toy photography.But I wouldn't want to do an entire focus.
>>11870270To each their own.I collect anime figures which are 1/12 and kaiju between 6 and 8 inch scale, but I dont collect capeshit, so I dont have any issues with 1/18 being my main scale since most of the stuff I collect (cowboys, Joes/army men, knights, romans, dinosaurs) are readily available in the scale.
>>11869815Imagine posting this and not realizing how wrong and stupid you were.
>>11870621Not everyone likes the same thing as you. Ben Cooper stuff is very niche-market to Gen-X, who are the youngest demographic to remember and appreciate them.
I'm still pissred at Target for canceling all of my Summer toys orders.
>>11870817did they give a reason why? A cancelled order occasionally is expected, but to completely cancel multiple orders is strange.
>>11870941They mass cancelled a bunch of the Summer Geek Out orders. For like, everyone. Transformersfags were hit hardest with the new, highly desired, Starscream being locked to a store exclusive that couldn't fulfill orders.
>>11869815>>11870815Nta but I kind of agree with him. The kids have massive heads that scale with Barbie so they don't real fit a Neca Horror Icon/Universal Monsters vs trick-or-treaters motif. The masks aren't removable but clothes are for some reason. I'd rather they just make 1/10 costumes so my Joes can wear them. Imagine putting the Batman costume on Batman. That's fun.
>>11871008So you fundamentally don't understand the point of the figures. You are just a very dumb individual then.Of course the masks aren't removable except in certain cases. Why would they be? They're meant to work with the heads created for the line. Of course the costume is removable, that's how you mass produce soft goods to go on that same body. The scale is the retro cloth line...how stupid are you? Use your brain.
>>11870815>trying to imply people can't enjoy Halloween things just because they're in a different generation
>>11871014
>>11871020>and their reasons are just as validWhich shows how completely out of touch you are.
>>11871026Except it's true. You're just a snob that only deals in absolutes with your opinions. It's OK for others to not like what you like. It really is. You don't need to take it personally. >>11870505I really wanted to like the HIYA Baroness, but she has a nice face when she should look like a twisted psychopath, plus the diaper-crotch leaves nothing to be desired.
>>11871143People like you are why things are as bad as they are now. "It's just an opinion bro!"You are a piece of shit that'll let anything slide.
>>11871172Your opinions are felt with what you buy and don't buy. Stop giving a shit about anyone else's.
>>11871205Holy fuck, just a big rant of fucking stupid. You didn't even manage to say anything right! That almost takes talent having nothing but dick for brains like you.
>>11870817>>11870941Pretty sure the problem is on Hasblow's end, being unable to ship enough out or something.
>>11871288Pirates.
>>11871288Or maybe they over-sold internet orders with inventory meant for the actual stores? Just make your way to a local Target, make your way past the men fighting over Pokemon cards, and see what they have.
>>11860985like what?
>>11871297My targets and Walmarts don't carry toys that aren't WWE and slop.
>>11871297What do you think everyone's been doing the past few weeks? Almost every store has a dedicated scalper or employee taking the whole case before it ever hits the floor.
>>11863174To fight Crytal Ball and DIRE tech, Psych Out uses pink energy to counter them.
New Render for RamenToys tank driver guy
>>11871217NTA, but le's see... You claim the masks aren't removabble because they're too cheap. No, that doesn't make any sense and I would love for you to dig up any kind of info to back that up. It sounds like you're just butthurt child.>Also their heads are WAY too large for 8 inchNo, no, they aren't. I don't think you understand how goofy looking kids are at that age. It would appear your autistic rage affected any attempt at though in your head.
>>11871217He says, while jerking off too military bullshit. The gayest shit on Earth. You may want to curb your projection just a teensy bit.
>>11871352hope the thigh holster is removable. Also, he needs the soot staining on the face like the OG had.
>>11871360>>11871375>NTAOh sure.
>>11871392Its a seperate piece on the prototype, so worse case scenerio you have to pop the leg to get it off.
>>11871427Are you still jerking off to military men? You really should do something about that.
>>11871430Good, good.
>>11871430That looks alright. Sadly I know it'll be priced beyond my ability to afford it.
>>11869508That didn't happen. chris Ryall and Aubrey Sitterson forced the race swap via lying about having plans for Duke which he didn't and Kirkman continuing Ryall's work to make black Tracker a thing even though fans rejected it, out of spite and malice towards fans
>>11871786>out of spite and malice towards fansBecause it's always a good idea to take a shit on the people giving you money to buy shit from you.
>>11871392I don't. They'd be slimmer if they were molded in or set in.
Did you get one of the incorrectly assembled Cobra Commanders?
>>11872036It would be better if he didn't come with a superfluous thigh holster at all, when he has the appropriate tanker chest rig, but deviation from the OG designs won't be tolerated, so here we are.
>>11872062Which one?
>>11870018I bought a few early on and thought they were shit. The pant was bad, the build quality was bad, they just felt cheap, the ones I had couldn't hold their weapons at all, and the way their feet and legs are designed kind of made it annoying to get them to stand. And I thought they were overpriced as fuck taking all of those things into account.That said, I recently got suckered into buying the Ninja Force Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander, and they were considerably better than the old ones I had. I dare say I even quite enjoyed them. Most of the issues I had with those early ones aren't a problem anymore, though the feet issue still remains, and I still think they're overpriced.If they do some of the more oddball sublines, I'd probably get more, as I did like these two.
Just watched the video on their facebook page. Final product will be shown in September, with a preorder in October. Sucks it got pushed all the way out to ruin christmas budgets, and probably be at the same time as the Thunder Machine. He emphasized it would have weathering this time so it won't be a big hunk of plane plastic like their first tank.
This topic is prematurely auto-saging. I'm not gonna deal with making a new one. I've been doung it since late last year, and now I'm dealing with personal shit of my uncle dying of cancer, so I'm trying to spend time while I still can. If someone else wants to make the next one then go for it. GI Joe is the last thing I can deal with right now. >>11872265>I still think they're overpriced.Hasbro's licensing fees make the prices unavoidable.
>>11872174The throne Cobra commanders are coming out and some are incorrectly assembled, its on toy news sites
>>11871786It’s in one of the Hascon interviews regarding that year’s con set, which had the IDW Matt Trakker. The Hasbro representative who I believe was a brand manager is asked about the race swap, and he specifically says that they feel like Duke having blonde hair and blue eyes and then Matt Trakker also having blonde hair and blue eyes is offensive. Race swapped Matt Trakker has continued at Skybound, so it must be either a Hasbro or Paramount mandate for the Mask movie they keep trying to make.
Fatal Fluffies are showing up.
>>11872623>>11872626so are they from some MLP artist fetish thing? They look like the gayest thing ever for Joe
>>11872634They’re the mutant monsters Zartan used on the Joes in the cartoon.
>>11872637well they look silly and gay.
>>11872639That’s the point. They’re like Gizmo from Gremlins. They start out cute and transform.
>>11872640ah cool. I have no recollection of the show. The only ones I remember watching were the ones like gi joe sgt savage that came with the vhs movie and loved the p40 vehicle and such
>>11872646They're only in Pyramid of Darkness, the 5-part story that opens season 1 of the cartoon. There's long been speculation that the Fatal Fluffies were based on Hasbro's original concept for what 'Dreadnoks' were going to be, but I don't know if it's ever been confirmed for certain. All we really know is the story Larry Hama told about how Hasbro had designs for Ewok-like creatures, he convinced them that they couldn't have the Joes running around shooting things that looked like teddy bears, and pitched the idea of using the Dreadnoks name for a biker gang instead.
>>11872634>>11872639Go away tourist.
>>11872637 Super7 needs to go out of business
>>11872634Pyramid of Darkness. Hasbro has it on their YouTube channel.
>>11872841Why? I like their O-ring figures. And I'm glad to see them start getting into vehicles. Maybe now we can get a Firebat that has landing gear underneath it like the cartoon version does.
>>11872639 This sort of reaction strikes me as silly? Are you unfamiliar with the G.I.Joe product and lore? I suggest you might at least watch the first 4 episodes of the cartoon series to maybe aquatint yourself with the characters so you might gain more appreciation of your toy purchases. Perhaps even consider watching the first season of the animated series. A lot of Joe fans have done this to understand some of the design choices and history for the team and also their foes. it answers such questions as "Who is the Viper and why is he the Joes top foe?" and "is the OP of these posts >>11872639>>11872634a fag? The answer (yes. OP is a fag) and others will surprise you. And knowing is half the battle.
>>11872639Silly and Gay and the first SDCC exclusive to sell out today, in less than two minutes even. Talk about being on the wrong side of history.
>>11873238>still falling for artificial scarcity tactics
>>11873238Yeah and look at who goes to sdcc lol
>>11873332You don't even know that SDCC is over and the exclusives went up for sale on pulse today, do you?
>>11873381Yeah they typically go on sale around 12 my time and tomorrow it's for non premium members. I'll be buying the trans to resell.
>>11869524Shut up bitch, this is a damn lie.We loved G.I.Joe.Why do you think Roadblock got so popular they made a new figure for him in 1986?Hell, we didnt fully understand Destro was Scottish. We just heard that cool black man voice and loved the character.
>>11872639gi joe is in fact pretty silly and gay
>>11873930Then why are you here?
>>11873930 Shipwreck disagrees.
I'm guessing no one ordered them?
>>11874357I ordered one.I so hope it fucking shelfwarms like a mf so I can buy up a bunch at outlet prices to get more fem trooper bodies.
Can you guys make ritual baroness
>>11874357I got both this set and the Fatal Fluffy. Kind of glad it sat for a bit, but honestly none of the past SDCC stuff have been that hard to grab. I passed on the Once a Man figure a half dozen times before it finally sold out and I could've grabbed the Pythona figure in person at NYCC until she finally sold out late sunday afternoon. I did grab the Cold Slither set from there though, mainly because the bassist from the actual band convinced me to do it...while dressed as a Fatal Fluffy. That was a good con.
>>11874298because I appreciate camp
>>11874357I'd like to know why they made Shipwreck look like a psycho. >>11874369The red female Crimson Guard is out there. >>11874387That wouldn't be a hard one to make, but at this point the entire year's catalog is decided as is probably the first half of next year's catalog, so we'd be in for a long wait.
>>11874643>>11874710New one's up.
