I just bought Torch tonight at Target in california and it was completely messed up. The face has a hockey mask on it, one of the guns is a silver blaster, the hand gun looks like Zartans, and the foot board has code name : cobra air trooper on it. has anyone else seen these mistakes in their stores?

Why did you buy it? Don't you look at the figure before you purchase it?

pics arent that good and you can't see the peg board but it says cobra air trooper. the torso looks like gung ho. I will probably use it as parts for a custom down the road. can anyone tell me what figure the jason hockey mask came off?

That's not even a 25th fig. It's got ARAH style arm rivets.
*sniff sniff* I smell shenanigans.

Thats a Chap mei/walgreens figure head on a arah reissue buzzer body.
I'd dremel the head and make a jason or a hockey player for the joe team.

That looks like a Funskool Buzzer to me.

they also had a general hawk packaged variant without the helmet, snake eyes peg board, and a bright orange torso. I didn't buy that one it didn't look as different as this one. has anyone ever seen packaged joes with this many variants?

I gotta say, I LOVE the weirdness GIJoe brings out in people... whatever the hell that is, it's inspiring...
That's fun. I'd love to run across it...

It's stealing...and it sucks. I had what was supposed to be a "Best of the 80s Pack" on hold at TRU. I drove all the way there, and someone swapped out the insides with the "Mass Device Pack."
They stole from TRU, Hasbro, and now me! Grrrr!

Haha, they aren't variants. They're repacks. Why someone would repack a Torch is beyond me. That version is two steps above pure donkey poo.

$650 for it. Gotta be a leaked movie figure done by randy Hasbro employees to get hype up for the incoming movie. ~Damn, $710 This could be the next Pimp Daddy Destro, you never know. Now that I think about it, looks like movie Destro. Probably a preproduction movie spoiler carded by mistake. ~$750 final offer.
