Storm Shadow did NOT get a new head! Why do people keep saying this (and for Baroness).

The thing I'm worried about is how they're packed. The Star Wars retro line went to Walmart for the ESB wave, people got square boxes shipped where they folded the cards in the box to make them fit. I had only ordered 1 so it came in a bubble mailer and the bubble was crushed. I was opening but still extremely annoying.

He got a new paint job, as did Baroness. It's the photo real thing they did on the Star Wars figures. The sculpts are not new.

Got everything except the Awe Striker. Was trying to figure out the mess when my train went under the east river. By the time I resurfaced they one 24.99 item was out of stock and the other pics were starting to come up. Got on the train at wrong time but I would have been good if fucking Walturd had their shit together.
So why does Hasbro five Walmart exclusives when they now have Pulse? Seems kind of silly to me. Anyway- the figure choice was pretty poor but I’d loving the vintage vehicle boxes and am happy to keep buying them. No Finfal for Crankcase though huh? Baroness has more gear than the entire line, couldn’t hurt to throw Cranky his shooter.

One would hope that the sell out within the hour has the brand manager/ host of the Fan Friday's rethinking where the interest in this line exists. When she is able to go to her supervisors with the success of today's event (complete sell out in an hour) and the sales reports to celebrate her own achievement, she will begin to realize that promoting 3 and 3/4 line return a line of revenue to the company which has long been absent. Hopefully it leads to bigger and better (and newer) items.
I am also hopeful that the 6 inch line will strive and give those fans what they want in the form of more traditional retro style figures in their scale. |

I am very excited by the idea of this. Modern sculpts in ARAH designs was my ideal and that's basically what we got.
I'm really confused why they didn't use the V1 head for Snake Eyes or at least include it. I mean, the 50th/PoC version had both heads, why not this version? They really should have used Ultimate Storm Shadow. The 50th version is just so blah. Baroness needed a new head badly. And why not use the SDCC head if you are going to use an old one? That said, a new paint job on this head should improve it dramatically over the 50th release (even the original release of this mold looks decent because of the better paint apps). I hate Walmart. I hope this line outgrows their stupid site. We will see. If they release PoC Cobra Troopers, a retooled Scarlett, a retooled Duke, and the Ultimate Cobra Commander, I will be absolutely thrilled. I will have to go back and edit my orders. I ended up ordering 7 Baronesses total by mistake (I forgot I had thrown in some extras to get my Elita One up to free shipping). I also ended up with four HISS tanks. Still, YoJoe! What a great time to be a fan. So much product.

Now Scarlett. There’s no easily translatable well sculpted mold. They could use the Renegades mood and give her pants - and I guess that would work. After seeing quite a few newly sculpted parts on Crankase and HISS driver I think there’s a good chance they do the same for her.
Would anyone not love an ultimate Duke on retro card using the Retaliation Firefly torso? Is it possible we get some new tooling done up for Scarlett? Crank case got a new head. In 50th we got the occasional new sculpt (Gung Ho, Destro)

Normally I'm fairly quiet on my judgment on what Hasbro gives us. This is clearly a cash grab.
If I recall correctly, there was a JoeCon where Mark Weber said that it didn't cost Hasbro any money if they re-released the same figure, same accessories. That looks like what they did here. Good move for Hasbro to quick more water from the GI Joe rock. Good for those that want these. Me? I'll just enjoy the original versions I have of these figures. BTW, the guys at Boss Fight must be laughing their asses off that the current design team at Hasbro can't top their designs and keep going back to them. |
