Sgt. Slaughter Found at Toys R Us

Slaughter's_Marauder · 04-09-2009, 11:50 AM

I found the new Sgt. Slaughter WWE Build N' Brawl at my local Toys R Us in Westland, MI. I nearly sh*t a brick when I found that there was two of them on the shelf. I haven't even seen any these on eBay yet. The only strange thing about my find is that Slaughter's wearing a green shirt, when on the box he's wearing a camo print shirt. I don't know if that means that I got a variant or if they're just running the figure with a green shirt to cut costs. All in all, fits in with my Joe collection perfectly. Thank you Jakks Pacific, and please tell Hasbro they need to follow your lead.

Oh yea, I also drilled tiny holes in the bottom of his feet so he could stand on the pegs a custom GI Joe stand I made. I'm going to also try and find a whistle and baton for him too.

NIce find! I do believe that all of the slughters will come with that green shirt instead of the camo pattern.

Sadly Jakks Pacific's contarct ends in on Jan. 1st 2010. The shirt color is just Jakks cutting corners. Its happened alot the past few months. If you think Hasbro is bad with re-paints Jakks pacific doesn't even bother with re-paints anymore they just re-release figures.

Not a big fan of the sarge, but that second pic is sweet!

And yes, despite not being a big fan, I'm still looking for one of those figures...

He looks about 5 inches tall...bigger than Joes which would be fine 'cause the Sarge is a tall guy but his head then would be huge wouldn't it?

I looked for em yesterday at Walmart but no luck.

The second picture, with Sarge manhandling those Siegies, makes me happy.
