I was just wondering... is Storm Shadow supposed to carry wave 12? Is that why there is almost always a Ninja in every wave? Because people like Ninjas? I like Ninjas... I don't have a Storm Shadow yet... I want a wave 12 Storm Shadow...

not surprising at all. Though i wish this storm shadow would been more akin to his Ninja force version. That would made this re has more worthwhile but thats just me :>

Ninja Force is one of the best Storm Shadows though, definitely the most striking costume he's worn. |

well, hopefully the 11-1/2* your getting from the 25th line will keep you satisfied. I'm wondering if they'll get to a "true" v2 Storm Shadow before it's over though.
*1/2 = red ninja ;)

This Wave 12 as a Bonus Wave, it could have been better in repaints, but it's ok. At least we don't have another Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander Repaint nobody needs.
Tripwire looks great with the smooth pads and I need him for the MASS device element. I would pass on the Cobra Diver, but I need that last MASS device element... Storm Shadow, well I definitely get him to make a custom accurate v2, and maybe a 2nd to keep as is because he looks pretty cool imo. I'm not sure if I get another Ripper. It depends if this one has the cool 'Noks Tatoo. I'll skip the Python Patrol Crimson Guard because I don't collect any sub teams with the exception of Tiger Force. As for the Cobra Trooper, It looks like he has a different shade of blue... If this would be sadly true, I'll skip him. But if he has the same type of blue as the Cobra 5-pack, I will try to get around 20 and paint the mask & neck black and get my Cobra troops complete! |

Yeah really and just who else is in that wave? DUKE. There is a reason retailers are willing to pick up that wave.
You can claim all you want that Hasbro tells retailers what to sell but this is not the 1980's, retailers are the buyers, Hasbro is the maker. If retail does not think something will sell, they will not pick it up. Look at the new Masters of the Universe line. Awesome sculpted figures, but a massive overkill in repaints of He-Man and Skeletor which filled up every case. The ones everyone and little johnny wants were the other characters which were short packed!! Mattel failed by trying to please retailers by overdoing repaints and filling up the cases with dozens of them. Nobody wanted a dozen of He-Mans and Skeletors, so they were pegwarmers. Making the retailers think the line isn't popular anymore thus canceling orders at Mattel... This was not true at all, the line was infact very popular, but almost no supply of the figures everybody wanted. I see the same thing happening to Batman, Everyone wants a Joker, thus a huge demand, yet no supply! It is mind boggling how Batman got 200+ repaints... I think retailers look at that as an example for all lines today? Thinking repaints are great sellers? This is a huge mistake... I'm glad Hasbro doesn't short pack many of the figures everyone wants, and I hope the necessary evil repaints will include sensible things like extra accessories, homage, better updated, etc instead of ex. the neon colored comic 2-pack Duke/CC |
