So, I was expecting more from yesterday's event, as well, but with their explanation at the beginning, I'm fine with what we got. I'd prepared for a good hour-to-hour-&-a-half event, with preorders to have to scramble around on multiple devices to secure, at 1p.m., so it was a bit of a surprise that they only went 18 minutes, but without the actual products/marketing shots, I get it. Also, I'll admit to being relieved that i didn't HAVE to preorder anything yesterday, that would then be on the books for half-a-year lol Their being up-front about everything is much-appreciated. The situation sucks for everyone.
As for the renders/reveals themselves, while I understand not liking that they decided to go with a certain character(s), I can't relate to passing judgement on the renders. They ARE going to change, & even if those exact renders are used, the physical sculpt will look different. From a macro standpoint, I love the basic designs we got in this event, & the fact that we're finally getting Tomax, Xamot, Stalker, & a teal w/head seemingly redesigned Gung-Ho. I'm less enthusiastic about the Viper 3-pack, though that officer does look cool. I got all the Vipers I wanted, back when I learned my lesson on paying a premium in the secondary market, a year ago, but I'm glad more will be available, along with a new figure, for anyone still trying to troop-build them. I honestly don't care about their bare arms not showing. While I'm glad that Hasbro/the GIJ team made the decision to slant more towards the ARAH designs, when they did, I don't need slavish recreations from the 80s. I appreciate the tweaked/updated versions of ARAH designs we're getting, & looking forward to so much more.
Sounds like we'll have the full reveal of all those figures, possibly a few more, in just around a month. THAT will be the time to really go in on the actual design choices. I do understand, it's been a minute since the last full reveals, & most of us still haven't seen hide-nor-hair of the preorders from those reveals, so we're all craving MORE, but we have to accept what's going on. I'm not saying no one's entitled to go in on these designs, that's all Emily & Lenny had, so that's all there is for a month. I'm just suggesting taking a wider look, until the actual figures, with multiple shots in dioramas, with accessories, & in-package, are presented.
As for the possibility of eco-friendly packaging, I couldn't care less if that's the way they go. While the figures look nice in the packaging that's been used, so far, I'm no longer collecting any line to keep in-packaging. I'm also not shopping for toys in-store, anymore, so seeing a figure in the wild, first, is no longer a necessity for me. The more a mass-market product can be made more environmentally beneficial, I'm all for it.
