Well in all honesty I thought the entire "fanfest" was pretty weak. It felt more like a typical fan friday than anything else. The SE movie line looks about as expected and will be an easy pass. As always I enjoyed the Marvel crew and some of the TF reveals were great but that's about it for me. As far as the movie being in theaters only I think that is entirely the wrong move and should have been attached to a steaming service but I probably wouldn't have watched it anyway so it is what it is. Happy for all the fans that are excited for the upcoming releases but it looks like I will be allocating more funds to other lines like Action force and MOTU and some others.

My issue with Akiko is that without any context she's just kinda boring and uninteresting. With all the other figures there's character backgrounds and history so you know who you're getting. But as it stands Akiko doesn't have any of that. She doesn't look like she's from the GI Joe universe st first glance. Don't know what she does or if she's a protag or antag.
It's possible that once I see the movie I'll come around to the figure but as it stands now she just feels like a generic martial arts character. Without a Chinese style straight sword either she doesn't feel enough like a Wuxia character for me to get right off the bat.

Akiko is Storm Shadow's love interest and apprentice in the comics. She was from Brandon Jerwa's DDP Master and Apprentice 2 series.
Although I just realized that it's Akita instead of Akiko. Junko Akita. Akiko. Akita Junko >>> Aki ko. It's like they mashed her first and last names into one name. Like Agnes being Agatha Harkeness. https://www.yojoe.com/comics/devils-...d-pprentice-2/

So the phrase "this will be exclusive to walmart/target" is roughly the equivalent of Thanos getting the last Infinity stone.

Everyone saying Akiko is weak, but I'm like, I already have 2 snake eyes and a fortnight crossover to come, that are stronger than the movie release. I do like new characters though, and I'll buy all of them anyway, so what do I know?

I love new characters. If these were 4 inch she would be one of the ones I would want the most. LoL.

One of the coolest new figures to be released to date for GI Joe is Shadow Tracker. That dude is awesome. We need more new figures to expand this universe. As far as Akiko, she seems like a strong lead in the new film. I hope she is tied in somewhere. Maybe Jinx mother , sister, relative.

If the event told me anything, it's that if I keep trying to stubbornly keep everything I collect contained to just 1:18, I'm going to miss out on a lot of things I like which may make me resent collecting in general.
It wasn't a bad plan. It's just not Hasbro's plan. I can still argue why 1:18 is a perfectly valid scale until I'm blue in the face, and there are still 1:18 projects I want to support. But there are definitely worse fates than having to buy really nicely detailed 1:12 figures because there aren't 1:18 versions. |
