70s Super Joe is no longer the low Joe on the totem pole. My honest observation is if Hasbro wanted to offer a low price point joe product to dollar stores, they could have just offered up another 1:18 wave exclusive to those dollar stores, and made serious coin, this, ..this is very limited marketing

Hasbro's press release is wrong, these are NOT Titan Hero series figures which are 12 inch tall, this is a relatively new Hasbro series called Olympus Figures which are 9.5 inches tall. The press release says the package is 25 centimeters high so that's about 9-10 inches. Hasbro also makes Marvel and Power Rangers in this particular scale. They have even less articulation than Titan figures. Olympus has three: head and shoulders. I'm probably daft enough a collector to pick these up, but they will not be in scale with a kid's existing Titan action figures.

I mean, Hasbro still makes $4 3.75 Marvel figures.... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Captain-A...E&gclsrc=aw.ds Again, Walgreens sells these for $4 a pop. Quote:

Fine for what they are, which is not for "us."
Not every product every toy company makes can or should be "collector quality." |

Since these are consider the “value toys” that are for undeveloped markets or however it was worded, hopefully that means they’ll hit in the U.S. in rural areas or places that don’t have big department stores in the area.
After all, the same scaled, articulated and packaged figures for Marvel and Power Rangers (also by Hasbro) are carried by places like Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Big Lots.

I see more kids with these than almost any size figure. Definitely next to no kids with 6 inch figures or 4 inch figures.

For reference, I see these being identified as Titan figures, but Hasbro has actually different styles for these scale figures.
Here’s the 9” scale these appear to be comparable to: https://images.app.goo.gl/gi8SAQRBKmvKfQdk9 While this is the actual “Titan Hero Series:” https://images.app.goo.gl/nM1y4sb4koVZoTyn7 I believe Snake Eyes movie figures will be featured in the Titan Heroes style as well.

Yawn. Wake me up when we get the Titan class GI Joe x Transformers crossover LOL!
Naw these are cool. Been around kids enough to know this stuff has value for them. Big figs they can bang around and carry with them and all that. |
