exactly
and why the f they even short packed one of the only items they invested new tooling in to begin with is astoundingly stupid from any ROI standpoint

I don't know about a conspiracy, but this Gung Ho may be an example of a collecting self-fulfilling prophecy. There's been a lot of lamentation over the figure being short-packed and predictions of it being "HTF(!)" on these boards, even before it's had much of a chance to sell in the wild...I wonder if this will fuel some "speculating" on the part of collectors and scalpers alike, and people buy more of the toy than they normally would, hoping to flip them for a profit.

He did have a small head, but the body as well. The pants looked weird, and the chest looked stylized rather than the human form. I also didn't like that his head was painted green and called leatherneck, or cutter as if it were a great headsculpt to begin with.

This exactly. In comparing the new GH to the vintage figure, there are a lot of terrific homages to the original toy, down to the colors, uniform, accessories, etc. The Hasbro designer did a terrific job. I wouldn't say I hate it, but I did think that the 25th GH was one of the weaker designs. I was happy to get him up front in the initial five-pack, but he paled in comparison to many of the great figures that we got in the 25th line. This new GH does a great job of filling that hole for me.

Yes they have hit stores. Every Toys R Us around me has received them and the one figure missing in every store was Gung Ho

I hit two TRU stores on Friday, the first one got one case and of course the GH/Shadow Guard were long gone. I called a second store and they said they did not get any. Then I had an employee at the first store check the local area to see who might have them in stock, the very store that I called and said they didn't actually have any was showing 8( 1 case ) in stock. The employee called, and they told him they could not find them. So I patiently waited and called again about 30 minutes later. They finally had located them, and they saved the GH/Shadow Guard pack and a Storm Shadow/ Spirit pack for me. I only bought the ones I wanted, I left the Croc master pack since I have zero interest in that one. The GH really is great, easily a 9.5 or higher a great figure that blows away the 25th.
