I have a strict one-figure-per-character buying limit, so my Tiger Force Outback will suddenly become the Jungle Adventurer if they ever release a standard Outback.

Decoded more:
This is AWESOME cause it's super close to an official confirmation of Crimson Guard...the last figure on my "wish list!" But can I ask....how did you decipher the code names for the characters? |

Cobra Island Roadblock = Heavy Duty Heavy Artillery Roadblock = Double Blast Profit Director Destro = Red Jackal Supreme Snake Cobra Commander = Baron Ironblood (a bit of a stretch, I admit) Alpha Commando Snake Eyes = Throwdown/Snake Eyes II Movie Snake Eyes = Ashiko Movie Baroness = Chameleon Movie Storm Shadow = Hard Master And these last two took a little bit of modification, but… Arctic Mission Storm Shadow = Night Creeper v4 Movie Scarlett = Quarrel |

What about the hydro Viper that came with his devil ray? Could be big enough for the big box price :P

So we are a bit Cobra heavy (19 vs 22). I guess you could add in Fortnite Snake Eyes to help even things out, but as far as we know he isn't getting a number. If we were to add in the leaked, unannounced characters we'd get 4 more Cobra (Tomax, Xamot, Crimson Guard, Zarana) but only 2 more Joe (Stalker, Dusty). How did you get to 13 Cobra? I can only come up with that if I don't count Python Patrol as distinct characters. |

I didn't count Python Patrol as separate characters. In my opinion, a BAT is a BAT regardless of how they're painted. |

I find myself wondering if the rumored (all-but-confirmed) Dusty isn't a single-pack but rather will come with a repaint/mild retool of Timber as Sandstorm.
Or if they might use the same form factor/pricepoint to make "deluxe" figures that might otherwise not fit on a single card. Like say, Payload with his MMU, or maybe a Grand Slam with JUMP (though that might better fit at the "Motorcycle" level if it includes the pad). Basically it may not always have to be an actual animal "pet". Then again given how Croc-Master came out of slightly left field I half-expect we're going to get Gnawgahyde with an articulated boar.

I think the "not enough unique Joes" issue (take out the Roadblocks and the Snake Eyes...es... and that Joe list drops precipitously) is pretty prominent right now. I get why Hasbro puts in so many army-builders - they do the same for Star Wars Black - but I gotta say, I'm envious of the Marvel Legends side of things where they're getting pretty much all unique characters thanks to the BAF pieces propping up sales of lower-tier characters. The figures aren't *nearly* as good as Classified, mind you, but the selection is much better.
At some point, though, things have to turn over from an army-builder focus to a character focus. Dusty and Barbecue (plus presumably Outback) are good starts in the sense of being lower-tier characters that are getting figures, but you'd think that a top-tier guy like Hawk would have to be coming up soon, to say nothing of other major supporting characters like Shipwreck, Leatherneck, Wet-Suit, Bazooka, and Alpine (on the cartoon side - characters who had roles in a lot of episodes aside from ones that they were the star of - maybe include Lifeline in that grouping, too, as it really seems like it's the 86 era that's being overlooked a the moment). Whereas on the Cobra side it's basically only Serpentor and Mindbender left in terms of characters with a lot of screen time that haven't been announced. And I suppose the other Dreadnoks (I can just picture them being a wave to themselves) The comic was obviously a bit different with the cast a bit more spread out, but that just makes Hawk an even bigger omission since if anything he's more prominent in the comics than he was on the show. (Now, just watch someone at Hasbro say "We'll show them... it's time for BLOWTORCH!") Last edited by GeoffDes; 11-11-2021 at 12:58 PM.. |
