As far as the MCC figures I personally liked them. CC being the worst of the 3 but I completely understood where Bobby was going, trying to keep them as accurate as possible was a nice touch. An Ultimate CC would have been nice but he lacked the back slot for his gun and Hasbro wasn't tooling another one. The set was $50 and came with 3 figures. Imho its by far the best Joe SDCC exclusive to date.

They did that already, it was called 25th anniversary and according to retailers, it didn’t do so well. If it’s truly “retro” they will go back to their roots which are the o rings. Hopefully this time they recreate the Nostalgic molds for 85 snake eyes, 83 cobra commander, 83 Destro, Flash/Grand Slam, Etc..,

I think you are mistaken about this. The Cobra Commander was 25th. But the two tropers were POC/30th. One was repainted as an officer, the only way to get an officer in the 30th body type.

Is it just me, or is the Walmart Countdown timer off?
It says 4 days 8 hours and 45 minutes, but the same page says 10am EST for the reveals......now it is 10:15PM EST, so wouldn't that put us at 7am on Friday as opposed to 10 am?

And also, let's not forget that the Cobra Troopers and Cobra Commander that came with the 2017 SDCC Missle Command was straight up 25th Anniversary re-releases and not the Ultimate Cobra Commander and 30th Anniversary Cobra Troopers which I thought would have been a better choice.

For the record, CC was not straight up 25th either - but featured the 25th torso as well as the legs from Retaliation Ultimate CC legs among other parts:
https://www.yojoe.com/action/17/cobracommander56.shtml At the time Hasbro did an interview with the designers who said their parts choices were due to the desire to closely mimic the original Sears release as much as possible. And for the life of me, I can’t remember where I read the interview. Yojoe turned to crap after it was sold.

It was a Hasbro Pulse article that’s no longer available. Here’s an old link referencing it:

I was just looking at that myself. The math didn’t add up for me either.
