Come on, dude. I know you don't mean that literally, but that's still not remotely true. I've had Legends figures take tumbled off of REALLY high shelves and emerge unscathed.

If you "play" with modern 6" figures (Classified or MOTUC or Legends or whatever) for any length of time, I am pretty confident the joints will become incredibly floppy. They may not break, but they aren't made to be constantly re-posed.

Honestly, I'm the type of collector who usually poses a figure on my shelf and then almost never touches it again. Not a lot of re-posing or playing in my house. Sometimes I get the urge to grab some figures and take them somewhere to take pics but then my OCD kicks in and I remember that I'll have to put them back where they belong afterwards so I don't do it.

Fuck it, maybe I'll just ignore my annoying urges and do some photo shoots anyway.

You know, this was one of my arguments when people were raging against the Classified series early on. It's effective.

Wait, they're re-releasing Scarlett? Do we know which version, exactly?

I'm not a Legends collector. I should have clarified that. I only own a few but they aren't very solid figures. They haven't broken, but all of them have serious trouble standing or even holding out their arms because of various problems (usually floppiness).

I'm a pose and forget about them type of collector too. But I know that my MOTUC figures' joints get looser and looser every time I have to re-stand them or repose them for whatever reason. Maybe Hasbro's 6" are better, but the joints on my Legends figures suggest they are about the same.

I should say that I love the modern 6" scale. I just don't think they are made to be true action figures for rough play.

I for one am happy that it's POC style figures. That was the best Joe product ever produced period. That ultimate Snake Eyes is one of the best bucks made to date and awesome for custom fodder. If you want new 4 inch product support the line at retail. Actually BUY IT AT RETAIL. Do not wait for it to go to clearance. It seems like Hasbro has their paint app problem fixed (50th line was terrible) by what I am seeing in the Star Wars line, so that is a huge plus. Hopefully the quality of plastic is also better than the 50th as well. I hope they release more Vipers and Troopers (eBay prices are nuts on the troop builders). I always need more ( I really have a problem LOL!)
I for one am glad to have 4 inch Joe back at retail. Some of the 6 inch stuff is cool and I have purchased all of the released stuff so far but it will take up a large amount of space when displaying not to mention my heart will always be more geared to the 4 inch size.

Yep. The reason anyone buys unnecessary stuff is simply because they like it and want it. Some like to get elitist about this shit like it matters though.

Your examples are stupid. We're not talking about completely new figures that are different takes on existing characters.

I do. Excessive army-building is weird.

And yet you asked a question you already knew the answer to. Isn't that stupid? Probably.

Of course I knew MY answer, but I don't know THEIR answers, and that's why people ask questions.

Dude, you're seriously retarded. I'm not even saying that to be hurtful, I honestly think you have a learning disability that's probably been holding you back your entire life. I feel bad.

Oh, man...same answer for everyone, bud. It's not rocket science. Another loser nerd with the stunted emotional intelligence of a 12 year old who resorts to insults because they have nothing else. They're always lame junior high insults from 1985 too. I'll let you get back to your half-assed, half-witted, mostly racist, rarely funny, internetz persona now.

RB, Scarlett, and Destro are the next 3 figures they are supposed to release. We don't know if they will have new tooling or not. We don't know if they are using certain recipes that we all know would be awesome versions (FSS TF RB in V1 colors for example) or not. I just hope they don't screw them up and give us 25th ann. repacks.

Duke and CC are supposed to be in wave 3 of this line.

I hope they don't screw them up too.

Given recent trends, I'd keep my expectations in check. Hasbro will reissue what they have available. Destro will be a 50th rerun. I'm leaning to Roadblock will probably end up a carded version of the Resolute figure (even though a V2 like the abandoned Gift Set release would be amazing). Scarlett might well be a Resolute return as well, but at least she should end up with better face deco.

Then again, maybe they'll end up like Walmart's 3.75 Star Wars Black series and we'll see some more interesting stuff in later waves.

[jscott991]

I think Scarlett will be Renegades most likely.

If they do Resolute, I have to think they will give her a new head entirely. That head was so reviled, it would take real guts to re-release it.
