It looks like everything is set for the May release date, who knows everything might start hitting at the end of April, the pegs have been empty for a month now and you can't make money that way.

Well, this is too late to help me, since i already blew my wad on Ebay picking up Renegades Storm Shadow, but I know there's a lot of folks on here stressing 'cause they don't have one...this should help 'em out.

Or...WILL it? This is a four-pack, after all, and being such, I wonder if the price will approach what the single carded SS fetches currently on Ebay. Granted, you're getting an extra three figures in the deal, but two are ones currently choking pegs at retail (and thus, whoever's wanted them will likely already have them) and the other is the same figure repainted (which, depending on how much effort is put into it and the accessories included, could be cool or lame).

Time will tell, but I'm glad Hasbro's at least trying to get more SS's out there for people. That's a good thing.

Sounds sweet. No need for the other three figures, but at least I don't have them. Hopefully Ninja Viper comes with cool weapons.

Potentially awesome news, but here's hoping they don't sell out inside of a couple of minutes.

The Snake Eyes is the only one I don't care for (well, maybe I should say I already have one). The other 3 are great. The Duke figure displays great as a Joe trooper (just add a generic head or helmet) and who doesn't love more ninjas :D

This is great news! Definitely gonna pick up a couple sets. Hopefully there'll be enough to go around.

I wonder if there will be less accessories with SS though... Not that it would make a difference to me. I just wanna use one for a V2 SS custom and red ninja for a custom slice.

homer_sapien
04-18-2012, 09:57 AM

Its a Renegades Battle Pack! Must Have. Amazon exclusives so far can be great news since their good at fulfilling preorders and consistently have free shipping offers.

I actually passed on duke before. So at least I'll be completeing the team anyway.

Tick that onto your checklist. Hopefully some more add ons/ exclusive deals will come out do to retaliation that have fan appeal.

I'm thinking there may be some different part-swapping in here and this won't involve a straight re-release of 30th Storm Shadow. The arms are obviously considerably different on both Storm Shadow and Red Ninja if you go by the art.

It will be fascinating to see exactly what these figures end up looking like.

Good call.

I'm not expecting any of them to be pure re-issues. Repaints/kitbashes is what I anticipate.

Which is fine.

I'm excited beyond belief, this is a real god send to people like me who just couldn't find SS. Like others are saying, I really hope this means he has bare arms, the only problem I had with the original release were those sleeves. And yes, Snake eyes wearing the coat would be incredible too!

My only complaint with Renegades SS was the long sleeves. Made him just a little shy of a perfect vintage redo. If these sport those changes, cool, but another Duke and SEs to add to the fodder box!

Superjoe74
04-18-2012, 10:49 AM
I was fortunate and found Storm Shadow at retail and I got the rest of the retail release figures as well but, this is good news for those could not get the Storm Shadow.
I will get this pack just for the Red Ninja Viper- I was planning on troop building the Retaliation version but, this one will make a nice variation! This pack is good news all around.

Co sign. I dug the look with the jacket and bare arm Storm Shadow like on the box art and poster back in JoeCon would be a Renegades 84 Storm Shadow which is bad ass.

For those asking about Roadblock, a figure like him which would require a substantial amount of new tooling is viable for a 7 pack where the costs of tooling him are seemingly off set by the inclusion of repaints in the pack, if that makes any sense.

04-18-2012, 12:44 PM
I know you all are excited for a sleeveless SS but do you all have amnesia about the card art for the single? He is shown sleeveless there too. I agree it would be cool to have him sleeveless but just repacking the exact same one would be cheaper and not trying to be put a damper on the idea but I doubt he will be any different.

I am totally stoked for this 4-pack either way though! I am going to make the Ninja Viper the leader of my Retailiation Red Ninjas! I was going to open one of the two Renegades SSs I have but now I will keep them both MOC. Yeah all these new Joes but my wallet is already screaming!

I'll wait and see how they look, but I'll buy it just because a) I love Renegades, and b) for the Ninja Viper. I don't need Storm Shadow, but if by some slim chance he is sleeveless that will just sweeten the deal. Some repaints wouldn't be bad for Duke & Snake Eyes either.

The carded Renegades SS picture isn't sleeveless...just look at your own avatar.


Overall this is kind of a weird set to me. I don't think anybody is really looking for another Renegades Duke or Snake Eyes, are they? If the SS has short sleeves and a head that is closer to the '84 figure, then I might get this. If he's just a re-release, then I'll pass.

I'm one of the ones hoping SE is sporting his coat like on the box. It would certainly help differentiate him from his single card.

I'm wondering if maybe Amazon payed for some sort of exclusive (maybe that infamous Retaliation preview set?) which ended up canceled for whatever reason, and this is the alternative from Hasbro.

But yeah, with the exception of STorm Shadow, I don't think ANY of the existing Retaliation figures are particularly rare, so I don't see any real pull of this set aside from SS. Which again, makes me think this is a "Plan B" release for something that had ended up cancelled.

That ninja viper may or may not use the same mold. The Ninja Viper looks nothing like the red ninja according to the art. The coloring isn't just a repaint of ren ss artwork so it is plausible this isn't a repack. Between slice, red ninja, black dragon ninja, ss v3 and Blind master, there isn't a demand to use the complete mold.

I really don't remember the last time you've made sense.


The card art for the Ninja Viper is 100 percent original artwork for a that specific single figure. The "card art" for cc is a picture from the movie whose figure was develop separate from the movie production.

If he does have an Uzi, it could easily be referencing the Sideshow Ninja Viper

Don't need to make sense. This is the internet.

Why a picture on a box needs to match whats inside the box 100% is not always the case these days. We can tell from the Black CC figure on ebay (same as the one in this case) that is a strait up repaint of the single carded Blue CC. So the card art does not match that figure at all. All of the ninjas aside from storm shadow and Kamakura are using the Renegades storm shadow body with some slight modifications, so it stands to reason that this figure will look either like those ninjas or kamakura. No mysteries here, its pretty obvious. Not like they ran out and made a brand new specific mold for a generic ninja viper lol...

Such a epic bummer on Hasbros part and really goes to show that they do not care and feel responsibility for there toy brands. Roadblock was such a strong character in Renegades its a crime that he hasn't been properly made into plastic.
Also a huge bummer that this "new exclusive" Is 3 figures that we already have and Retaliation red ninja.
Not impressed. If I was a dog I would take a huge steamer all over this box set.
Now if it was Zartan, Roadblock, Baroness and a Bio Viper I would take all this back. But its not because Hasbro doesn't care about GI JOE at all.
This collection of figures is going to fail to move units. Amazon to Ross and Ross to never again.
It is the wiener of my discontempt

I think hasbro knows more about marketing toys then some collector on a internet forum. They been doing it for years. Thats a ninja viper not a red ninja by the way. Its a exclusive cause its gonna be out before all the other toys most likely. Therefore a exclusive.

Yeah, it's ninja viper, but the description says it's a red and gold repaint of SS.

The carded Renegades SS picture isn't sleeveless...just look at your own avatar.


Overall this is kind of a weird set to me. I don't think anybody is really looking for another Renegades Duke or Snake Eyes, are they? If the SS has short sleeves and a head that is closer to the '84 figure, then I might get this. If he's just a re-release, then I'll pass.

LOL! Yeah you got me! I was thinking of the Renegades posters Hasbro put up at JoeCon or SDCC a year or so back showing a Sleeveless SS... I spoke in haste... I still have a feeling he will just be a repack but that is cool although I would rather have mods to him, SE & Duke.

Haha...no worries. I have a feeling that he will be a kit bash. I'm holding out hope for either short sleeves and a more '84 style head, or just a straight repaint that looks like the '88 Storm Shadow.
A jacket for SE might be cool.
I really don't know what they could do for Duke to make me want another. Maybe make him twice the size, black, and give him mutton chops?

I think I'd be sold on this pack if they gave SS bare arms, and they tweaked Duke by coloring his vest khaki and putting a removable bandolier over the vest (as an ARAH touch). THe vest just looks more interesting with a bandolier (I've got a 25th one on my Ren Duke, but he could use a better fitting, purpose-made one).

You know, I recently got a Resolute Roadblock, and he's so great that I'm not too upset about not having a Renegades RB...though not having a Renegades Baroness, or Destro with that great mask, or Bludd, continues to irk me.

Hasbro: we NEED Renegades Roadblock. Don't leave fans hanging on the last remaining vital member of the core team.
If we get Roadblock I'll go back and buy every single Renegades figure.

For me there's no since in owning any of them if I can't even have the complete core team.

I'll get this set, for Storm Shadow and the Ninja Viper, but I already have Snake Eyes and Duke. Hopefully they'll be a little different. But dang it Hasbro, like everyone else is saying. Where the heck is Renegades Roadblock!

And Renegades Baroness and Major Blood. Firefly was in one episode and got a figure, Major Blood was in like 3 ? i think...I don't remember two anyhow and the Baroness was in probably every single episode. And where is the bio-vipers! Now there is a four pack, Roadblock, Baroness, Major Blood and a Bio-Viper or...a Bio-Ripcord-Viper. Sometimes I think Zombie Viper's arms were suppose to be for a Bio-Viper. man can I ever ramble on...

what was I saying...oh yes. Yay for more Renegades stuff! Atleast they're keeping alive in some way. More hope for the future right ?

I was going to get this pack just for the Red Ninja Viper and sell off the rest as I thought they would reissues of the retail versions but, the new Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are a nice variation from what I have collected already so, I will keep them too. Duke is cool but, other than the knee pads I don't see anything different about him..

Me too. I forgot to grab Duke so I need him. I skipped SE because I was hoping for a deluxe version wearing the coat that would come with Zartans motorcycle. SS I already have the single carded one and just wanted a second one to set up as the Renegades version so this one is fine for me. I'm using the Ninja as the leader of the Retaliation Red Ninjas so I won't feel the need to get extra sets just to get more of him.

That Storm Shadow is really close to what I was hoping for, but it kind of misses for me. I really just wanted them to use this opportunity to make a perfect version 1 SS, but they didn't.
The Ninja Viper is really cool looking, but with SS being kind of "meh" and Duke and SE not looking all that exciting, I'll probably pass on this.

I think he's supposed to be season 2 Storm Shadow, he's pretty close to the artwork really. I agree it would be nice to see a definitive version one SS, but I like how they executed this new version.

Well, the artwork is pretty old by now, and since he didn't look that way in season 1 and it only stands to reason you know? It looks like there are some Retaliatin parts used. Probably hands, lower legs, and feet. Duke looks like he is the only figure without rocker ankles and Retaliation parts.

I think it is just the way it looks, b/c Red Ninja looks like he has the same parts as SS from what i can tell and SS doesnt have the thigh swivels. If they did i hope they are like the ones from the 2002 firefly and last wave of BTR, b/c the ones on the MU, Iron Man, and Avengers Suck!

Main points I can think of:
No joint glider for Snake Eyes
No zipline contraption for Storm Shadow
Roadblock possibly with normal hands
web gear for Snake Eyes in case you didn't want to buy the Ninja Dojo set
Display stands for all 4 figures

I think you may be right. SS and the Ninja Viper have the same legs, which do not look like Ren SS or Res SS legs to me. And there very clearly seems to be a swivel on Ninja Vipers right leg.

Look at Snake Eyes left leg too. Looks like it has a thigh swivel.

I was hoping for just a Renegades Storm Shadow body with no sleeves. So I'm not too crazy about this. The legs and crotch just look odd.

Yes. If those are added in, they are almost on par with the most articulated Marvel Universe figures. Definitely adds to poseability and articulation too, they're some of the only major points of articulation missing from modern small scale Joes, that and double jointed elbows(which I'm fine with them omitting).

I am so buying this if Amazon ever gets around to selling them.

I think I'm all about this 4-pack. Not sure if those are actually thigh swivels, though the angling of the knees on the Red Ninja and Snake Eyes (especially SE) compared to the rest of the torso gives me hope. What appeals to me equally is the apparent change to the ankles, which look to be the new side-pivoting style. If that's the case, I won't even be sad about never having seen the single-carded Resolute Storm Shadow. :P

BTW, wasn't everything Renegades supposed to be "off the scene" in the run-up to Retaliation, for fear of "confusing" kids or something? Maybe an Amazon exclusive is considered obscure enough to not cause any such trouble? I don't recall exactly what the deal with all that was.

This is a different Storm Shadow figure than the single card release. I know these pictures aren't confirmed yet and I do hope we get the single card release in this box set, and not what is pictured.

I don't think we will get the single-carded figure in this set. It looks like every fig has had a little change. Mostly coat for SE and color changes. But, I also know people have been saying they wanted SS with short sleeves since the pics of him came out.

Those are not MU legs/hips. Maybe something left over from the "Wolverine Origins" line or something like it, but not MU.

I'm not diggin' the diaper crotch look because of the hip joint balls, but the legs DO have potential custom Ninja use.

It does make sense in a way though, as a compromise. The cost of new tooling is off set by the inclusion of repaint/kitbashes and very simple packaging. I for one like this packaging because the weapons will be easier to remove. Plus it's an exclusive.

Same here, do for Renegades what Hasbro didn't do for Resolute.

Can't be XMO, those were connected via separate pegs into the torso at a 45 degree angle.

If those are ball joints we're seeing and if they're on a metal hip bar, we finally have the ideal ball jointed hips on a 4" Hasbro figure.

Hopefully.

I'm wondering if it's just a reflection of something on the ceiling. That damn clear plastic makes it hard to tell anything. Do we know who took these shots? Is there any way they could take a pic form another angle, or at least comment on what they see in person?

SO here's a close up of SE and Duke as well. The SE image is frustrating huh. Wouldn't it be nice is the trenchcoat were flexible? I do not like stiff restrictive ones.

You mean you want a softgoods one?

Personally, I like the plastic trenchcoats. I've used so many Cade Skywalkers over the years it's just silly.

I'm not sure what I'd prefer a trenchcoat to be made of--those cloth ones on SW figures can look pretty strange and puffy (from what I've seen, I don't collect them)...all I know is, I don't like having leg articulation seriously obstructed. It's one of my top pet peeves I suppose, along with figures that have trouble standing and hands that pop off easily.

To me, it kind of looks like this SE's coat is pretty flexible. Doesn't it appear to be folding over his right leg somewhat?

BTW, I like that figure in you picture. Interesting choice of weaponry. :)

That trench coat looks like Nick Fury's coat which was a little piece of pleather.

I really like these. Not sure how I feel about the hip joints even if they are a newer, better, design because it's going to be hell for customizers.

I think the first Renny SS was not actually a Renegades SS but they had already been working on a base ninja figure for all of the different ninja troop builders and went with those instead. The real Renny SS was a little behind the other in development schedule and probably got shelved because of that. If it is indeed a new hip joint, then that does make sense why they didn't just can it completely.

TheSerpentKing
04-23-2012, 12:30 AM
I'm a bit disappointed that the SS that comes in this pack is not the Renegades SS but it is still a sweet figure. Don't care much for the other figures but I don't have the Ren Duke yet and my 25th Red Ninja could use an update so this pack should still be worth while.

So:
-Duke comes with a helmet and a shield so he can pass as Security Joe.
-SE comes with a super-useful removable trenchcoat and seems to have the same SS/Red ninja legs.
-Stormy and Red ninja are different, with new legs and kitbashed but useful sleeveless arms.

...this pack is an awesome armybuilder.
And if not, it doesn't conflicts with previous releases of the characters, since they can easily pass as different guys.
And offers great fodder too.

Man you have good eyes, I can't tell what they come with at all, lol. A wonder if the shield has the Cobra logo on it, that would be a nice touch since it was cut from Cobra Trooper.

I would also like to see them out of the package.
And just like many others here, i'm wondering what is up with the hush hush attitude any time someone asks where pics come from. I'm going to assume that some of the folks on the tank are actually HASBRO employees in some fashion, and have info related to joe, but if that's the case, why all the secrecy?

anyway, back on track....I like almost all of the new stuff coming out, with the exception of much of the movie product. That's not to say i won't buy any of it. I just think it's kind of ironic that the stuff getting the most marketing from hasbro, is the stuff that seems to be not as interesting.

Yup, I think this is a major upgrade to Duke and I'm very excited for it, as Ren Duke turned out to be a solid, quality figure IMO, even with the skinny forearms, bulbous hands and inaccurate colors. Now he gets Law's forearms/hands, toon accurate colors (which are also much closer to ARAH) and bulkier pants which balance well with the bulk of his torso.

Frankly, this entire set has gotten me more excited than most of what's been revealed in the Retaliation line so far.
