I can't believe what a let down this is.
I've been clamoring for years for 6 inch Joes, and Hasbro is finally delivering....and.....it looks like an over-busy custom. Hell, I've seen a dozen customs that were BETTER. Maybe they really think kids are gonna be interested in these (they're not) so they're playing up all the Call of Duty tactical-ness instead of just giving us the Sunbow designs we want. I should be pissing my pants in anticipation over this, but it fails to excite on any level. Unless they had a double secret line of straight up 80s style figures, I can't see myself getting any of these. hmm. You're like only one of two people here who want that. I do hope we get those down the line so you folks can get Joes too, but as this thread shows the majority of Joe fans in fact do want "the Call of Duty tactical-ness" |

Is there a clearer picture of that side panel somewhere?
I highly do NOT expect they're going to lead with Slice and Dice. The foreground ninja looks like an updated Night Creeper to me, but we'll find out Saturday, I suppose. I fully expect there will be a Storm Shadow, if not in the first two waves, then absolutely by the third. They might also be holding back on a "traditional" Storm Shadow because they know at least one movie version is coming. |

Man don't even tease me about Slice this early. He's one of my favorites and someone I didn't figure we'd see until WAY down the line, should it continue.

On the back of the box, you can barely make out the Flagg... Yes folks... we're getting a 6 inch scale Flagg!

Saw this in a Facebook marvel legends group. Brilliant.

I think there’s a decent chance that folks on Hisstank are more likely to be into Resolute/Retaliation/PoC/VvV whereas people outside G.I.Joe hardcore fandom probably haven’t been terribly interested since 25th and were looking for nostalgia figures to go with their MOTUC/Thundercats Ultimates/Retro Style Marvel Legends/MMPR Lightning Series. |

If you go to more casual places like TheFwoosh, a large percentage seem to want Sunbow designs and the proportions are flipped.

People need to keep their pants on and see how the line plays out. |
