I think it's official: Modern Era Joe's are done. We don't have the POC molds anymore, and WM probably didn't see enough benefit to order more ME figures. Therefore, Hasbro decided to go a different way with their 1/18 product.
Too bad there is not enough momentum behind Joe to have 3 lines like SW has, 6", 4", 3.75". At least a 4" ME collector like me has Eagle Force, MTF, and Skeletron to fall back on. It's been a great run Hasbro. Thanks. Quote:
my Joes were my favorite action figures because of that Quote:
but Stalker's design is a vastly improved one in the right direction OK O-ring collectors time now to put the money where your mouth is

The more I look at the pics of the SE/SS set, the more jazzed I am. This might actually be what I got into collecting for in the first place. I still remember happening across the SE/SS 2-pack while looking for a gift back in 2000 and the nostalgia was irresistible. Seems like a line like this is exactly what I've actually been looking for all along.
To be clear, I bought what I liked from the modern Retro, I just didn’t keep any on card.

I got the croc master and Storm Shadow. They should have released that Storm Shadow in the first wave. Maybe it was a ploy to keep folks with the line that they didn't. Im not doing the haslab stuff. I have that skystriker in a box in a closet. Not paying 300 for another one. I don't get the oring craze so I will not bite on that 2 pack. I'm just not one to think about the past and the need to experience nostalgia but others do. I get that so Ill leave that to them. I don't think though it will go very far. Maybe a couple 2 packs and maybe someone will get their wish with a Zandar/Zarana 2 pack. Especially since it is online only. I like detailed figures like the modern ones offer. As far as modern joes I think that might be dead. Maybe the mdern retro line will show up for 4 bucks a pop like the 25th figures did a at ROSS that one year.

That's actually been one of the coolest things about the Transformers that've been put out in recent years. It's just so awesome to get some of my favorites with such amazing poseability. Anyway, sorry I'm getting off topic. Again, I do hope the Retro line with Modern figures isn't dead, but it's not like it'll be the end of the world if it is. Like others have said, Marauder (and from the looks of things Eagle Force) is going to have me covered for 4" Joes better than Hasbro would anyway. Last edited by Matt82; 10-24-2021 at 02:10 AM.. |

Since we're getting nostalgic....
I was all Star Wars for the first two movies. Somewhere in the early 80s I had a short LEGO stint, around the time that big yellow castle came out as I wanted it but never got it. Managed a jousting set though. Got introduced to GI Joe right when the Torpedo wave came out; he was my first figure. Never owner a ROTJ SW toy as a kid as a result. Joes were superior and the Sunbow cartoon became childhood religion. Also got into Transformers when it launched and a bit of MASK while my younger brother did 86-88 Joes and a lot of He-Man, of which I never touched but did watch the TV show. My most memorable stretch was hardcore GI Joe from 83-86. |
