Finally home and settled... Reflection time.
Ok, so clearly Joes are at the FAR rear of anything hasbro is planning on pushing... While they did have the small case with the set and the recent joecon announced packs of new stuff, it was very ill placed and fell in the same case as the Micronaughts and visionaries. Again I felt sad by that fact alone given my love of joes but silver lining was at least they had something. All be it just a placeholder to continue the Joe name until they finally figure out what they want to do with the line, weather that be movie, new cartoon, or just kill it off. The Rattler looks clean given its mold age, I would've rather seen a better choice of the actual red plastic that they chose to mold it in though. This seems pinkish red metallic more than actual red metallic. Sound wave Hiss is solid though, and the figures are good in my opinion. I always like packaging in these cases, something that sells the Action so to speak, and the box art is well done. Much like the previous sets showing a comic cover style art scene play out. Still better than last years box art and packaging I feel. Hasbro booth... Well what do I say here, generally a MUCH better experience than I had with them last year, although I did wait till the end of each day to even mess with them, I was in and out in under 10 minutes each time. The people working were Much more personable that's for sure. And yes I know they deal with a lot of crap all day long but still this year was a vast improvement over last. Clearly star wars was the hot selling item, along with the Magic the Gathering set from what I saw. Joes were not and I saw very few being purchased. The transformer exclusive was just boring and far too large to handle on a plane ride home and or to ship. Besides the fact that, to me, it seemed a very unimportant character with no real selling wow factor or any "play" value besides its size. (My opinion) I did have to laugh at but also cringe at the fact that I saw absolutely no action with regards to the "shared universe" items like the Visionary Mighty Mugg or the Micronaughts figures. Given no one probably even knows who the heck these characters are given their property age it was a little scary to think that if we want Joes to continue then these are the secondary properties they fall in with now. I would very much liked to have seen something MASK related but by no means was I suprised that they weren't represented in any way even as an honorary mention some where in the Hasbro properties booth. SDCC was great this year though, I did see a few cosplayers in Joe gear. There was a great Shipwreck complete with parrot and a Duke. And I saw handful of people in Joe shirts or whichever. So we're still there, just not as mainstream as years ago. Last edited by Jedeyeben; 07-26-2016 at 05:15 PM.. Reason: Wording |

attached are a couple pictures.
yes, it's more of a metallic pink vs. red. included a picture with the red Hiss for comparison as well. i to would have preferred the same red as the Hiss. the paint apps on the body are not crisp either but it's not a deal breaker as i love the cross over vehicles myself, especially the jets.

Thanks for the pics!!! I think next to the blue Rattler, you can't tell it's pink. I like this a lot, and I see it becoming part of my collection.

my lighting is very 'warm' so it doesn't do it justice. here are some photos outside in natural daylight.
how pink it looks will depend heavily on what you have with it by comparison and of course the color temperature of lighting you have. out side in the sun, next to a deep red, it looks like barbie rattler. by itself or next to another dark color in typical warm home lighting, it looks much more red.

Does it have the pearl/ swirl effect that the 50th vehicles have been coming out with?
