GI Joe SDCC Exclusives At Toy Fair 2012

Just a few quick updates on the SDCC 2012 Shockwave Destro Cobra B.A.T. exclusive. The box will be similar to last years Starscream Skystriker Comic Book Box. The Shockwave Tank will have the same styled old school comic book art box with Destro in the tank and a Army Of B.A.T.S surrounding them.

The back story...... Shockwave is looking to purchase the Alt mode of the new Retaliation H.I.S.S. Tank. They meet up and Shockwave pays Destro for the design.... he scans the prints and pays Destro off, then takes the alt mode of the H.I.S.S.!

Very Cool!

I want a 1,000 of them!

Do you always talk about yourself in third person?

I was wondering when Hasbro would decide to reuse the money molds. Didn't really see this coming though. I'm not a fan of Transformers but I think these crossovers are cool. This new tank will look good next to my Starscream.

Did they give a price?

i only want the BAT

sucks I'll have to pay triple to get this! But it does look cool!

I like how they made the boxes match up from last years exclusive.

so damn awesome.

Oh man...I am gonna have to pay out the ass to get one of these aren't I?

I mean I would just be happy with Destro and the BAT.

I wasn't impressed when I first saw it, but now it's a must have. Mini Soundwave and tapes FFS!

They did a good job with this one! I'll get 2; one to open, one MISB (which is what I did with the SDCC CC/Starscream)

Since when do decepticons pay for stuff?

Hmmm, let's look at the details:

1. A HISS with Decepticon badges.
2. A very "Shockwave-esque" gun on top.
3. Money Bags Destro is the driver.
4. It comes with a mini Soundwave tape deck and tapes.
5. It comes with Energon cubes (AND a cart to carry them on!).
6. It comes with a B.A.T.

Uhhhh, yeah. I will have one, please!

do they have any pictures of the box

Gawd f'n damnit! Just when I thought I was good to go and would not covet this exclusive, Hasbro had to drop that mini-Soundwave in there with the rest of that Shockwave hissy awesome pie! Ugh! Looks like I might have to make moves for more than just Jinx now.

This story is lame...how am I supposed to buy more BATS to reinact the story! It only comes with one :( and if its limited to 1000 pieces...well how can i have 13,500? They need to single card that bat stat!

I prophesy a lot of wheeling and dealing with these.

Who just wants the tank?

Who just wants the figures?

Who just wants Soundwave, etc.

kinda in love with this purple destro if he was black he would be one of the best I've seen..

also kinda blown away by the jinx's swords and scabbards
high quality stuff right there.

it would figure the best stuff is exclusives

Where did Shockwave get money? He lives on Cybertron.

im glad they are doing this. i dont want that jix one . just not my taste

Energon is big money, you know how much energon costs these days...

Did a rep say that at Toy Fair? 1000 seems extremely low for a SDCC exclusive. I hope they let the Joe and TF collector clubs order some.

no, i am just being facetious, but I am sure they will be limited Starscrem was

It really saddens me that red Jinx does not have an alternate head...guess I have to buy 1 each of them bitches :(

Is it weird I only want the turret? I don't want techno destro or punk bat...and ive got enough money bags I just want that damned turret

Is it weird that I only want the ridiculous BAT?

Is it weird to ask if its weird to do something?

He had the insecticons scan money and take its form. Once Destro isn't looking they can run off.

I hope so!
I know I want one to keep MIB, but I'd also just love a loose Shockwave HissTank.
So cool, so very very cool...

Looking forward to putting this into my HTS shopping cart and ultimately not being able to buy it after an hour of frustration - because I don't wanna pay any more than HTS prices for it.

The ONLY thing that is going to bother me is when I put the alt hands on my BAT; they should have done either all silver or all purple arms because it's going to look funky otherwise

Can't wait to get this one! I like it more than last years Starscream set and I never have liked Shockwave at all.....that HISS just looks so f'n badass! And how about the Destro with Decepticon logo on his vest, customizers going to fight to get some extra Destros just for the vest and money probably.

very cool but why would Shockwave pay a human for prints couldn;t he just stolen them to get the alt mode :P

Hopefully the BATS make a midnight seller appearance.

Last year's Starscream didn't impress me much.

But this . . . THIS I must have!

What are the prices for the 2 Jinx's & the Soundwave Hiss?
When will they be available to buy?

this is all total BS.. i don't like inbreeding b/w Joes and any other brands for SDCC... I mean c'mon its all about military, real humans not space stuff like Star Wars/Transformers. This is what got me into Joes in the 80s, human beings, the good vs bad concept.

The B.A.T.s (1986) and Cobra-La (1987) would like to have a word with you.

Also, GI Joe and the Transformers have been meeting each-other since 1986.

Next time do a little research before serving everyone a taste of your wine.

I get your point and I know about a few comic issues out of a thousand, but that's not what Joes is all about. You take less than 1% to make your point, there will be anomaly's. I think BAT is a great idea, army of Robot soldiers, hell we have had robots doing everything from manufacturing to war drones, of course controlled by human beings just as the BATS were. As for Cobra La, that was the worst thing ever.

Crossbreeding StarWars/Trans would be ok, but not Joes. I thought Aliens/Pred was a hit.

Not looking forward to spending 100 plus on SDCC stuff but I will!

ZEFRAM - She approves the NANO BAT and SHOCKWAVE ... Good enough for me..

I will be getting this one as well. I like the color scheme and for some reason the BAT

I want one with everything... Then I am willing to buy the Bats from people who do not want them.

I'm very pleased with shockwave, the whole package (Destro, gear, the B.A.T.) 100% AWESOME!!!!

There's no chance I'll make it to SDCC. How do I get one of these????

Either hope like hell you know someone on here that is going and not already picking up a crap load of stuff for others... or... play the HTS waiting game come Monday Morning after the Con and hope to god the site doesn't crash on you multiple times as you are trying to buy things like it does every other year. LOL

That Destro is NICE!!! Is he an all new figure?? I dont recognise the parts,except the vest (which is a Renegades one right??)

He looks like he is has the Techno Viper body and vest with an ROC Destro head.

I think the vest and legs come from the Renegades Cobra Trooper.
