And now Dusty is delayed, as well. Gotta admit, reeeeeally f***ing pissed on this one. What's the point of pre-ordering day of announcement, at announcement, if fulfillment is random?

damn.. Bazooka's elbow joints aint the same color as his biceps or forearm .
all this mismatched plastic has to be the result of a new factory. I don't think we will ever get a properly-made Hasbro figure again |

"All these black people..." Yikes dude. Some of your thoughts above probably didn't need to be put in writing. Also, after points 1-3, no one is surprised that you have no issue with the confederate flag. You probably have one hanging in your home.
Might be time for me to bail from the thread for a good 24 hours. Hopefully when I come back you're not still trying to save the day and set us all straight by being a "historian". I don't support any Confederate flag or whatever.. but it is important to ask WHY questions before simplifyng the South to "evil treacherous people". I mean I am Mexican and I can claim that America stole our lands (along with various tribes) and all you Americans are evil... right? |

I got my Dusty today. It is better than I expected. I like his uniform color.
But...the helmet is worse than I imagined. It doesn't really stay on. If you slightly touch it, it pops up. It is hard to have it stay low on his head. Hasbro should have just given him a head mold with a permanent attached helmet. Not everything needs to come off. |

I love when pulse says my order has left the building, but sits on label created for days only an hour away. Then fedex will just randomly bump my order a couple of days lol

If we were still in the pre-order desert I'd pull the trigger like yesterday, but being that we're currently swimming in new releases I'll bide my time. CGs will arrive shortly so I'm super stoked for those. Cheers |

Hasbro certainly understood this, and G.I. Joe adult collectors did too, as displayed in 1997-1998 with the Hasbro Kenner G.I. Joe Timeless Collection Civil War Series. General Robert E. Lee, Johnny Reb, and other veterans were treated with respect by toy designers and collectors alike who chose to collect action figures of them for display.
Along comes a new generation, deciding it is their birthright to sit in judgement of all peoples born before they were, and they will determine what is or is not to be tolerated to further exist within American history. And it's not just in the world of toys being affected. The Department of Defense is already in the process of renaming honored military installations and ships at sea and has planned to desecrate the memorial at Section 16 in Arlington National Cemetery. To be clear, I'm not correcting or judging anyone on this toy forum but expressing as a G.I. Joe collector to fellow collectors that I find cancel culture disturbing, to put it mildly. |

I am curious about Dusty, specifically the BTS process designing him. I wonder if they did initially go with a soft-goods flap for his helmet before deciding on a plastic one? Judging from how many people on here don't care for Mindbender or Serpentor's capes, I feel like Hasbro would have gotten some negative feedback had they done it in fabric. I bought two Dusty's with the intent to customize one helmet and give it some soft goods.
The color match issue on Dusty seems like the CG one -- not entirely noticeable at all for the naked eye or in neutral lighting. But as soon as you take a detailed pic or are in warmer lighting, you can see a slight (very slight) color difference. I am hoping Dusty's color differences are exactly like the CG's are in terms of severity, because if he is, then I will not have an issue with it. I plan on giving him a sidearm and holster and probably a canteen and some updated paint apps for the camo and backpack when I get mine.
