I had to check it out. Wow. I've liked the retro stuff this far, at least the vehicles. The quality of the vehicles has been really good, the boxes are sturdy, good plastic quality on the parts, the stickers were good for the first time in modern releases. The figure cards were sucky though - both the ones I found were pre-bent like it happened at the point of packaging like the bubble was pulling on the card. Here's a link to pictures of all 3 https://screenrant.com/cobra-command...retro-figures/

Ah cmon you guys you're just making a mountain out of a molehill... LOL! I'm sorry though this is just so damn hilarious I just have to get it, I mean this will go down in the annals of fantabulous GI Joe bloopers of 2007-2027 it is a true historic piece of flabergastation.

Meh, they're just toys. I still slept well last night, content in the knowledge that I have nearly 40 years of Joes to choose from.

If I weren't thinking of completely scrapping my 3.75" displays, I might finally buy another 50th Flint to paint. That's going to end up being the best option for Duke (outside of Classified).

Based on the previous retro releases, he could've done SOMETHING as far as a decent Duke. He was able to get new tooling for Crankcase and the HISS driver, but not Duke, one of the most popular Joes ever? It's simply poor decision making. If a figure needs to come with a vehicle to justify a new mold then sell Duke with a Skyhawk or a Ram. People would be the shit out of either of those options.
It's either pure ignorance or idiocy. Or he's screwing with us. There are a lot of straight re-releases they could put out that are awesome figures. Lifeline, SDCC/danger at the docks flint with vamp. Cobra trooper, steel brigade, etc. Seeing what has been released, all seems to be for the most part, figures that weren't years removed from circulation. Its like the cheapest easiest find. With a little left over for odds and ends. There is no budget at all for this. Back during POC, they regularly released 2 heads with figures. Think about that. 2 heads with a ton of gear. Now you got a pistol. That should say something about the environment in which he has to work. I have two theories. 1. He spent the entire budget on vehicles and tooling already. 2. He is saving the funds for one great wave to come. When I say great, I mean one brand new figure and a vehicle, because that is the absolute ceiling of where I think Hasbro would go. Either way, he is the fall guy. He'll take the fall so Hasbro can blame someone, fire them and say, see I told you 4in wasn't worth the investment. Even if they sell everything they make in 4in, they will still say the same thing. We don't make ENOUGH money. |

Wait a minute—is that Retro LJ’s hair black, the same color as her hat?! Scratch that, then; I want none of this wave. :/
