Not sure if this has been posted yet. But I reached out to Hasbro regarding the stained shoulders on my Dr. Mindbender. They are not providing replacements. Only option is to send the figure back for a refund. And no guarantee if they will ever offer him for purchase again.
So seems the choices are be stuck with a defective figure, or no figure at all. |

Well that's sort of unfortunate but also not surprising. I think this is probably a problem that will be on every single figure packaged up and replacements would have the same exact issue.
What is odd is that I swear someone posted on here last week or earlier this week that they had gotten a replacement from Hasbro shipped out to them after complaining about the stains. Maybe Hasbro quickly changed their mind or realized it was widespread and replacements wouldn't do any good in this specific situation? (((probably only produced so many extras for replacements, certainly not enough to replace all of our stained Mindbenders)))

I forgot Python Patrol was 89 too. Python Copperhead is probably my favorite cobra toy ever.
That said I forgot about Rock N Roll v2. I think the upcoming classified version has a lot of influence from this. It's like a mix of v1 and v2. But as someone mentioned from 1988... how could I forget my most anticipated figure in all of classified, the Iron Grenaider. OMG... And the 25th anniversary made different versions of this toy, especially with those longcoats that made them look even more awesome. And can't wait for Destro v2 with Despoiler. |

(((probably only produced so many extras for replacements, certainly not enough to replace all of our stained Mindbenders))) Considering this seems to be a problem with every figure I imagine they went through their backup supply rather quickly. In other news, the Harrisburg, PA Hasbro warehouse sent me a Mrs. Potato Head instead of a retro Destro. According to the operator that helped me this exact substitution has happened with multiple orders. She was very nice and placed that replacement order while I was on the phone.

I remember begging my mom to get me the original IG at Toys R Us in summer '88. School had just gotten out that week and it was a 110+ degree day in the Valley that day. I told her I had gotten decent grades on my 4th grade report card and deserved a GI Joe as a reward lol She laughed and told me go get one. I was so excited to get him!

Got my PP Vipors today, but Target cancelled delivery for my PP Bats...They refunded the cost and told me that the local Target had 5 in stock. Got there within 15 min. and none on the floor or in the back. I rushed to a second Target. None on the floor, but they found two in the back for me. The system showed them having 8 in stock...nothing like the others images. Did grab myself a third Viper.

I wonder if Annihilator, TARGAT, Voltar, and Metal-Head would be deluxe figures?
Obviously they shouldn't be given Spirit wasn't but we live in an era where Hasbro considers Boba Fett's helmet an accessory so... |
