Did anyone else notice that Kamakura is #61 in the line? Makes me wonder who 57-60 are and why there is such a gap. #40 and #53 are also unknown I believe, but I think one of them has to be Tiger Force Duke w/ RAM.

Did the same. 2 of each. A set from Pulse and one from Amazon. While there is a ton of stuff I would rather see first those Blue Ninjas are absolute fire.

I love the packaging. For some reason I have no love for the blister packs. Ruining the artwork to get the figures out never felt great even as a kid. I have always kind of held up the SNES Carts as the pinnacle of packaging so this works for me.

Kamakura is 170% of the price of a GI Joe Classified figure from a year ago. Outrageous.

It also sets a concerning precedent for figures who have "a lot of accessories" (and what an ambiguous standard that I'm sure we can trust a global billion-dollar corporation facing two soft quarters to not exploit consumers on, laffo).

By justifying this outrageous price hike, you're setting all of us up for $35 Snow Serpents at a bare minimum. Snow Job's skis and poles won't get much reuse, so might as well make consumers pay $40 for him! Variable pricing for all on arbitrary metrics! Just be happy you're getting anything at all*!

Get ready for the Black Series "9000 paint apps" price hikes in Classified

So people on facebook are saying that Tunnel Rat and Snow Job were announced at the beginning of the stream.

I would say Jinx is a no brainer for next since she's the next most known female not made yet.

Yes, they did. Love those and the previous weeks announced choices.

If they continue to announce 2 figures per week for the last 2 weeks of this month I have to throw out my personal wish that I hear Hawk, Blowtorch, Mainframe and Low Light...I would love to get them all announced but any one of those confirmed will just make this JoeJune that much better.

[Stygian]

I'm so excited for Snow Job! Hopefully before June wraps up we'll also get Eels and Mutt/Junkyard. There are obviously a ton more I'd love, but those are two of my most anticipated.

With Black Series it’s the same with the price hikes. Walmart, GameStop and Amazon exclusives are $5 to $10 more than the mass retail figures. The Bad Batch Rex was $30 . Since these are figures made specifically for one retailer with a limited run, this may be the way going forward.

Regardless, I got two Kamakura and 3 Blue Ninja sets.
