As bad as the Fang and it’s wonky pilot are if Walmart is the only source for this line I’d say that we have bigger issues. Hasbro better start offering these through Pulse or ETailers because I’m about done with Walmart. At this point it would take a Hovercraft, Mauler, or Moray to get me to even think about wasting my time placing another preorder with Walmart.
I'm sure they're only exclusive to Walmart for a while, like the G1 Transformers reissues they'll hit online retailers eventually. Personally I like only having to check one store for the time being. |

I think the Pilot looks like in belongs in a retro Fisher-Price Fireman Collection.

Saw the latest planogram at my Wal-mart by my house. Small little two pegs and no vehicle spaces for GI Joe Retro. So yeah, not seeing a lot of positives for 2021 on this line. Never seen an AWE Striker yet, saw the HISS a few times and picked up a few, and no FANGS (not that I want them, plenty of better 25ths at home and vintage).

We are talking about the Retro Fang Pilot:
Sans the helmet, none of the parts on this figure have ever been used on a modern era GI Joe before. (The helmet may be new too). We believe this may be the sole work of the mustache, and it may be a clue as to how the Retro line will look going forward. If so, then I'll be extremely disappointed.

Was probably a design from a cancelled line they repurposed and added a new head to,lol. Horrible and sticks out like a sore thumb with the rest of the modern/retro line. Garbage figure really.
Saw on Walmart that the Retro Duke is the 2007/08 25th Duke, passed. But I do kinda like the SDCC repack Cobra Commander without the micky mouse cobra logo, so I pre-ordered. Last edited by CG82; 01-15-2021 at 06:40 PM.. |

Wait, what? WHY would they spend the time, effort and money to create something like this from scratch? The fact that there are still classic figures that have never received a definitive update make this even more infuriating. Who is sailing this ship? They can't be this dumb, can they?

Seeing that Fang Copter Pilot reminds me of some of the Retaliation drivers.
Those are not Joes. I tossed one in my recycling bin the other day when going through some junk tubs.

I agree with you guys, don’t consider this fang pilot a joe product.
