Hiya Toys G.I. Joe Exquisite Mini 4" Figures Thread

So I was thinking, since the retro classified were like Walmart excludes, those designs may not have been included in the deal hiya got. Which would mean we may not be getting the Duke and Scarlett we’ve been wanting. Also, the more accurate gung ho, snake eyes v1, maybe others. Serpentor and mindbender being exclusives also.

The Retro cardback line wasn't exclusive to Walmart at the time of Duke and Scarlett's release, but I would think the design belongs to Hasbro and not Walmart. Walmart was an exclusive seller, not the manufacturer.

I hope you’re right! I didn’t realize duke and Scarlett weren’t Walmart exclusives.

I can't remember if they were the same wave. Seems like Scarlett and Stalker were in the CoCo wave, so whichever came first, Duke or Scarlett, would've been among the first waves released after Walmart's exclusive rights ended. I double-checked and purchased both of these figures from Amazon and/or BBTS.

Whatever the reason, it feels like it can’t just be chance that we haven’t gotten them from Hiya yet

Yeah, I may die on the hill but I still think they're releasing them according to Classified's order and simply haven't gotten to the point in time when RCB Duke and Scarlett were released. It makes zero sense to ignore those two figures.

Very frustrating that I missed out on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

Anyone have an extra set of copies willing to sell to me? I'll pay stupid for them (not super stupid, just mildly stupid). Doens't matter if its opened or not, as long as it comes with the card back.

Some time back hiya posted on Facebook something like zartan would ship soon. Been like a week or two (or three).

I would think re Scarlett and Duke (and Roadblock) they maybe only have the Blackout designs and thus aren't so keen on making them?

Personally, I wouldn't mind those designs in 1/18 because I already have piles of "classic" 1/18 Dukes and Scarletts and Roadblocks.

They isn?t a single acceptable modern Duke in ARAH deco
