Man, could you imagine if Joes were $10 a pop when we were kids? Yeah, I know its 30-some-odd years later... but it gives me sticker shock. It's actually right in line with inflation rate - so I have nothing to complain about... but still.

No he’s saying $9.99 with be the 5 inch/6 inch line of 7-9 POA that’s geared towards kids like the current Marvel Gamerverse and the low end Avengers line. Those are $9.99. $12.99 is their price for highly articulated 3.75 figures like Joe retro and Star Wars The Vintage Collection. He’s saying it’s a 5/6 inch kids like Marvel has for $9.99. I agree with him. Hope I’m wrong.
Hope so, anyways. No shampoo bottles, 5”, or 5 POS...and only SE/SS 6” figures for me. 4” is where it’s at.

Do you think Hasbro should look at maybe making figures vehicles from the later 80s and the 90s? I feel like the early parts of the same characters and vehicles keep getting made over and over (although I guess when you are literally using the same figures/tooling that is going to happen...)
Maybe it's time for some Eco Force, Sky Patrol, and Star Brigade! (Yes I know the Club did Eco and Sky Patrol) |

Something I'm curious of is if they are intentionally holding back single card army builders due to COVID delays in manufacturing/supply. My guess is that a solid Cobra Trooper, Viper, BAT, etc. would have quite a few people wanting to buy like 12 of each. If that is the case, it is probably good that they haven't released those until things are more stabilized/normalized.
I was a bit surprised that they didn't do a ME STUN as that was prominently featured in Season 2 of the Sunbow cartoons/Movie and was from the same relative size/price point as a lot of the vehicles they did choose to release. I'm not saying that I would really want one, I just thought there probably would have been one. I definitely agree that an ASP would be great. I think mostly I just don't want there to end up being 4 different colored SHARCs, 4 different colored Snow Cats, etc. |

I vote for a ferret. Always liked it and it should be the same price point, and easy to make.
Okay, maybe not $25, but close

I'd like to see a return to the physique sculpting that showed up in later Joes. Outback, Heavy Duty, Salvo, Rock n Roll, Big Boa, etc... were all jacked badass mofos. The modern era Joes have largely lacked in that regard with most figures being sculpted to look like soccer players with all the musculature of 13 year old girls.

I always liked the $2.79-$2.99 price point for the o-ring figures. I remember going to some stores and they'd be $3.49 and I'd think, "Ugh, my mom will never let me get that!" Ha.

Hmmm...so are we expecting 4” highly articulated movie figures at all? I feel like I’ve covered all of the sub-line named offerings posted in the other thread, lol.
Hope so, anyways. No shampoo bottles, 5”, or 5 POS...and only SE/SS 6” figures for me. 4” is where it’s at.
