Hasbro's suggesting $19.99
I'm not adverse to 12" figures, but the efforts in the past few years haven't endeared me to Hasbro's offerings in the scale. The 25th ones were mediocre (if well presented, I still think that style of packaging would have been KILLER on 3.75), and the RoC ones were just outright insulting to Joe fans and toy buyers alike. Hopefully, these will be a bit more thought and I'm hoping they don't become a liability like they did in 04

The only problem with the 12 inch at retail is they tend to get smashed to hell and ripped open.
These are the figures I think that would be best to be offered online and not at retail. They really seem like they would hit home with older collectors.

Hasbro can make a decent 12 inch figure when they put their mind to it. They have a super articulated body that they seldom use. I wish they used it across all their lines. What a missed opportunity for their Star Wars line. The bad thing is their 12 inchers are really 11. That's the smallest in this scale. These look promising, but they don't offer the same great value as a PTE figure.

Good for the kids, but not for me. I rarely ever buy 12 inch.

I saw they will also be doing a 12" Tracker Kwinn in this line to bridge a gap between the 1/18 sacle and the 1/6 scale.

Bullshit! Look on ebay, there's already tons of these types of figures on there. That's all we've been getting for years. That's what was sitting at ROSS a month or so ago. How can Hasbro take this direction with the brand when they've already been taking this direction with the brand? Hasbro needs to make the brand exciting & fun to kids with zombies, monsters, aliens & space ships, not boring as hell with lame ass firemen & policemen.
