I may be wrong but hasn't the AWE been a very popular vehicle pretty much always? The 25th version is one of the more expensive vehicles of that line. Great choice for this new line. Crappy that it's an exclusive...again.

About a year ago I was able to get the 25th AWE Striker MIB for like 12 bucks on Ebay. I consider myself lucky but that purchase will probably deter me from getting the AWE Striker in this line.

I'm just glad they went this route. The figures look cool carded and are the few new tweaks to the parts here and there make for really nice improvements. The new HISS driver is my favorite thing so far. And there is no such thing as too many AWE Strikers, so there is that too.

Now fingers crossed Walmart doesn't cancel any preorders on anyone the way they have done with some releases in the past. I had a time tracking down some of the exclusive Transformers they got last year when they cancelled my preorders after the things had already hit stores and sold out.

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 can say I am mostly happy with them, but not completely satisfied. Only 3 figures per wave is a bummer. I LOVE that Snake Eyes figure, probably the best Joe figure of all time The Storm Shadow is good, but they chose the wrong version. Should have went with the sleeveless "Ultimate" Stormy. Baroness is kinda a let down, even with the new headsculpt. She is a decent figure, but if we are only getting a handful, she would have been very far down on my list The vehicles are great! Especially the packaging and drivers. I love it! I haven't purchased any action retail figures for over 2 years, but I'm buying all of these |

I've been busy today, so wasn't able to check out the pics. of the newly revealed G.I. Joe retro figures/vehicles - until now. Wow - these are fucking incredible! I really like the design - they definitely have a 25th anniversary "vibe", but actually look slightly better. It's great that they're keeping the cards looking like the originals from the '80's. These look far better than the crummy recent Star Wars retro cards - with the stupid large sticker that obscures the picture on the front of the cards (hopefully these Joe retro figures won't do something similar).
I definitely want to get all of them! The carded Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Baroness all look amazing. Really digging the H.I.S.S. Tank as well - I remember getting the original back in '83, and it was one of my favorite vehicles in the line - and was one of Cobra's first "big" vehicles (have no idea where this is now, however). The tank driver had an particularly cool outfit; the red/black deco. really works here. This pack-in figure was actually more interesting than some of the regular carded figures, and was always a character I wanted to troop-build (but never did). I don't think I ever had the A.W.E. Striker, so this will be very nice to get as well. Great vehicle! Unfortunately for me, I don't like dealing with walmart.com - so, will only get these if I actually see them in stores....unless I change my mind ;) Last edited by Doctor Venom; 07-17-2020 at 08:10 PM.. |

Yeah, I miss the little accessory bubble more than any other component of the vintage packaging

It's funny you mention that at 1st I though pretty cool to show all the accessories nlike that but the more I look at it I think if they were going to go for the vintage look why not just go all out and make ot as close to the vintage cards as they could.
