I still give Super 7 a lot of credit for eating shipping costs and sending some of the in-stock stuff early, but it looks like they're waiting for the BAT to ship with my Pyramid of Darkness.
It's all good - I've got plenty going on right now anyway. At this point I wouldn't mind if they showed up in September. |

Awesome looking set RoadPigJohn!
I wonder why they sculpted Shipwreck with a Snakeling cap since he never wore one as part of his disguise. |

I believe it’s just a ‘pink’ bearded Snakeling with a parrot. Wave 4 is out for delivery today. Curious to see if face sculpt has changed

I wish we had some numbers to know how well the Super 7 Ultimates line is doing with preorder sales.
As Brian said having vehicles would only be a possibility on how well the line does, and having multiple waves in hand first before even considering a first vehicle. As GiJoe has always felt like it was a vehicles line first an figures were secondary. So without vehicles... I def warm up more to Classified over Super7s Ultimates, or just going back an recollecting the vintage stuff an vintage vehicles. So I can't decide if I want both lines or just Classified at this point as I am unsure how far Super7 would even try to go to give us figures AND vehicles for this Ultimates line. An if they do vehicles, can we expect to see similar items that the Classified puts out now that the brand is pushing hard for a brand Identity with "vehicles that exclusively scream only GiJoe brand"? Or could super 7 go in a different direction an do Marvel comics vehicles, etc. As that Marvel Bat def took me by surprise. I can see why they did it tho. It got them tooling for a toy style bat Elbows and forearms for a toy bat repaint. Just would need a vintage toy style head now. Last edited by Cobra BAT 687; 08-23-2022 at 06:16 PM.. |

If so, will they give us a few of them, or will we be lucky to get 1 or 2? As GiJoe is kind of a vehicles line first an figures I feel are secondary. So without vehicles...

Even if this line only goes 2-3 more waves to me it's already a viable line to collect since they thankfully have given us such a nice combination of heavy hitters and army builders already. That said I hope this line goes on forever. |

Unfortunately I doubt we'll see vehicles in Ultimates but I'd love to be proven wrong. A hovercraft would be SO epic to display Joes in.

That said I hope this line goes on forever. I agree, we have a nice assortment at this point to start, but def needs more to feel complete. Serpentor, Viper Trooper, Tomax, Xamot, Black Suit Baroness, Dr Mind Bender, Zartan, Torch, Ripper, Buzzer, Spirit, Bazooka, Alpine, Shipwreck, Beachhead, Commando Snake eyes, Gung-Ho, and Road Block I feel at this point are names we would be required to have in Ultimates in figure form to say good enough an call the ultimates line worth collecting just for the toon figures. ...but that prompts the question. Will the far more expensive Ultimates line even survive to make 5 years worth of figures as planned? As a lot of Joe collectors seem to be debating Classified only; myself included; based on its cheaper price and now that Vehicles are starting to happen for that line.

Quick Pyramid of Darkness thoughts:
1) Awesome packaging. I almost didn't want to open it 2) The robot's head is on a ball joint, which is a nice extra bit of articulation in ReAction 3) The Cobra Airborne Trooper is a Cobra Officer, so figure he's showing up in the next wave or two 4) The Airborne Trooper's jet pack is very cool and unique 5) I don't believe the jet pack comes off as I applied a decent amount of force, and the harness is attached to his upper body 6) Timber is NOT a recolor of the Sled wolves. He's a head shorter, and different all-around. An awesome Sunbow Timber. 7) Shipwreck has the TINY hole on his shoulder to plug in Polly Overall very happy with the set, and I hope S7 has another box set coming up for Christmas-time.
