Unfortunately if you leave them out too long they become soggy or dry up. Best to monitor temp and enjoy them within 20 minutes.

Go to their Facebook and you will see teasers. Also Ace from Ramen Toys mentioned about it at some YouTube interviews...����

I did a deep dive onto the tooling shown "so far" of waves 1-3 of the GiJoe Ultimates figures. I also compared those figures to the toon models via YoJoe RAH images, as well as the vintage toys they toon was based on. An from that I think we can assume at least 2 of the coming figures for waves 4-6 based on the following facts.
#1 - Waves will be far less popular characters which would mean far less sales. #2 - Tooling will start to matter as we get further into more obscure characters. As existing tooled parts will allow for cheaper production of further figures if mold can be reused. From that I have figured out we have the following 3 figures nearly ready for production and could be easily reused. I am discarding straight repaints as they are obvious... Toy Duke mail away Toy Flint Toy Cobra BAT "Yellow" Toy Cobra BAT "Orange/yellow" ...but other than repaints their are a few figures that could be easily made to make new figures, or at least a toy variant or two. Toy Destro - [New Head] Cobra Commander [New Hooded Head, repainted white belt also black] - This one is obvious but not expected given the political climate anymore But in regards to 100% new characters. We do have some that Super 7 could easily reused existin molds for the most part an put out.... Breaker [minimum new tooling required 4 parts] "assuming it doesnt come with any other accessories." - [Resculpted] Flint happy head - New Backpack - Flint biceps, forearms - Duke helmet shins, boots, shoulders, hands - Snake Eyes Torso, straps, arms, upper legs, jetpack Stalker [minimum new tooling required 2 parts]"assuming it doesnt come with any other accessories." - [New head with berret off] + [New Head with Berret on] - [Resculpted Snake Eyes bandoleers to have extra pouch an 2 grenades] - Flint berret - Duke shins, boots, gun - Snake Eyes Torso, arms, upper legs, jetpack Cobra Officer Trooper "Black Helmet Crest" [2 newly tooled parts] - [Resculpted wrist/Wrist glove fake end overlay for both forearms] - Existing entire Cobra Trooper ...I honestly could see Stalker happen easily more likely. As he adds more diversity to the figures released to draw in customers. Also this saves Super7 a ton o cash reusing the existing mold parts. An Stalker was a year 1 character. So showing him this year would work along with the anniversary of the line. |

Gung Ho and Roadblock would also make sense, as they are similar sized and would likely use the same body (like Classified). You could also throw in Croc Master and Big Boa, but since they never appeared in the Sunbow series, it's unlikely we'd see them unless Super 7 gets to make these figures for many more years. Other beefy characters, who could use the Gung Ho/Roadblock molds (and appeared in Sunbow), would be Sgt. Slaughter, Mercer, Serpentor, and Nemesis Enforcer, although I would fully expect them to make Nemesis Enforcer as a one-off tooling SDCC Exclusive type figure. He is bigger than the rest, so they wouldn't be able to reuse parts of him for other figures. At least, not in the G.I. Joe line.

As a cartoon styled Commercial animation Croc Master would require 6 "resculpted/new mold requiring parts" + [New head mold] + [New Backpack "Tank" mold] + All The mold parts to make a Fiona. I actually had one other possiblity as an option for a Ultimates figure based on a toon commercial as it was slightly cheaper than Croc Master. An it was... Steel Brigade [D variant] -Duke Torso, pelvis, upper arms, backpack -Cobra Commander Lower arms and hands -Cobra Trooper shins n boots, rifle -HEAVILY resculpted or new head ...but I was trying heavily to limit options to narrow what might be a guranteed figure to ones that required 4 or less new mold parts. As I wasnt trying to guess new random figures to gain new molding as much as I was trying to guess the figures Super7 might toss into waves 4-6 as they required next to no new parts an could help balance out new figures that required a ton of new molds to be produced that would also be in those waves. I used to do this with MOTUC Classics when I was on Global MAsters Podcast an I was right about 75% of the time... given Scott Neitlichs bloody predilection to do what called "lets toss them a rando what the hell figure to just keep the tooling people like me guessing an just cut out a ton of accessories to get it out early an toss its parts into a weapon/accessories pack later" mentality. Which caused me no end of grief, lol. Last edited by Cobra BAT 687; 06-18-2022 at 08:43 AM.. |

They?ve got some pretty ambitious articulation planned for the figures. Their Facebook page has the vehicle prototype showing the transformations sequence too. I?m pretty excited. I just received my set of ‘80s commanders, & they seem pretty good. I wouldn’t expose them to kid play but the articulation is smooth & they are able to hold a pose loaded with all of their gear.

Its actually funny that you mention Croc Master. As he was actually on my list. But I discounted him as a coming soon possibility. As his tooling breakdown of parts placed him "just" outside that range or cheap 8 or less new parts required to make him.
