What's awesome is that you basically can just ignore GI Joe for 2022. Most stuff coming next year, most Ultimates probably released next year or the year after, O-Rings reboot next year, Hiya probably going to release their stuff next year.
Which is making me sad, like Black Series levels of "Well, I can just ignore shit until 2023 then" levels of sad. |

i did successfully get my tiger force Outback canceled. Though, he actually does look cool, if I had him, then I'd regret selling my Joe CC version, and try to go buy a vintage one , which is really expensive. Soooo... I will just continue to pretend he doesnt exist.

The Target article there makes me wonder - Emily said stores will put out the stuff when they do.
The article says stores are looking at keeping merchandise away for instance for the holidays. Wonder if that's why Walmart's Retro and Croc Master tags disappeared, why Marvel Legends are disappearing from Target, and why Hasbro has no idea when the stuff they shipped will be put out? |

Because you have to pay for the tooling for the characters that don't have a 6" version.

That is why they re-use parts.

We both know Hasbro could take existing parts and make a whole other character and maybe only sculpt a head. They done it before with other lines. Saying it is expensive for them to totally make a new figure instead of just repainting another and saying it is new is a cop out.

So if Hasbro were to listen to the expert advice of us forum members, we'd have all-new figures with all new parts but less expensive and more ARAH accurate but not too ARAH accurate but hey I missed that figure but why are they repainting that figure should be 6" should be 12" should be 3 3/4" inch with more o-rings with more modern sculpts with 300 POA with universal backpack pegs for all eras but exactly 100% like the originals with security screws. And I want it all yesterday. You see what I'm getting at here? Those poor Hasbro bastards. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't. Also, Snake Eyes is the money maker. I'm happy with my one, but he is GI Joe's Darth Vader or Wolverine. And compared to how often they issued a SE figure during everybody's darling ME, you have to admit, they're actually exercising a great deal of restraint.

I'll keep my pre=order as well. I love the original and will undoubtedly be my favorite of the two. I am trying to avoid rebuys of the same figures and won't have an issue not buying another Bazooka, but will get the TF Duke for the RAM cycle. The repaint of BBQ should be an easy skip. The Crimson BAT...I'll consider picking that up.
