GIJOE Retro Line Walmart Computer Listings

Mr Hebime · 07-17-2020, 10:17 AM

Are these exclusive to Walmart or will other sites like EE and BBTS offer them?

Me. I’ve been collecting Joe since ‘83. I got back into collecting in 2008.

Love the retro packaging. There are deco differences on all figures and the upgrades to Crankase are great.

Going to buy some for my 7 year old Joe fan and for myself.

They said they’re ‘bringing back’ the 3 and 3/4 - so if these do well there are some great possibilities.

Many Joe fans like the 6” - it’s not for me. I’m all I’m on these though.

I'm super disapointed, but can only blame myself.

I figured (like many), a retro/vintage Joe line would be made up of retro/vintage Joe toys. Hasbro in all their wisdom did not think that was needed. But again, they never said it would be, even as mentioned many times, Transformers has that, Star Wars has that and Ghostbusters has that. And even though I struggled to get onboard with o-ring releases knowing that the molds were likely long gone after Hasbro/the Club making a big deal about it, I eventually accepted that we may see vintage 80's re-releases. Which was dumb of me.

I think 25th is used colloquially to refer to the modern sculpt era stuff

I do wish the packaging had the white outline - looks off without it.

Baroness's face printing has improved that head.

People are paying triple these prices on the aftermarket. This should be a positive thing.

Is there’s no end to things we’ll bitch about?

Dod Ear · 07-17-2020, 10:20 AM

Interesting they didn’t use the SDCC Baroness headsculpt. I guess that one is a bit more classic.

Starfighter · 07-17-2020, 10:20 AM

It sucks that they are not o-ring. At least they are the best versions of their modern counterparts.

lol Walmart had the listings up with no pics but you could preorder them and they already say sold out for everything . Hopefully they come back up at 11 but I highly doubt it.
