I've heard that the speculation is Hasbro wasn't going to waste the tooling budget expended on their 25th molds and therefore that is the amortization (if that's the right word in this context) effect they're seeking to utilize here. This actually makes sense to me as Hasbro expended hundreds of thousands for those molds and as long as they can leverage them and with minimal tooling for additional heads why wouldn't they. Ultimately the retro line is the little engine that could helping to keep Joe alive at retail, but Hasbro isn't going to go all in like they are with Classified. Leveraging older and yet still fairly recent molds seems like the best approach financially.

I hope they start releasing things more quickly. If they are reusing tooling and molds then there's no reason for huge preproduction delays. I'd love to see some 5 packs of figures that are related to the animated series. I've seen the 25th ones on ebay but at $300 I have to pass.

In what way could an o-ring be a danger to kids? If it breaks (which they all eventually do), the worst that happens is that the two halves of the figure detach from one another. The band does not have enough tension to fling into a child's eye. Not to mention that being inside the body of the figure would prevent that from ever happening anyway.
O-ring action figures were on the market for over 20 years without ever being deemed a danger to anyone. I would be shocked if there's ever been one single report of a child allegedly injured by an o-ring. Any claims of the o-ring being a safety concern were fabricated by the company to justify their decision not to use them anymore. |

He hasn’t offered any info. If these were truly something that was in the works it would be front page news.

That's because it's just a random mock up that he made and is in no way, shape or form referencing an actual product.

OK. I think it's been 2 days so I'm posting the list again. The only way I can get the Brickseek listings to work is if I quote Hushed's post.
I also took out the W1 and vehicle listings as most people have seen these now. I'll just post W2 only as most of us are waiting for these figures in our areas.
