These figures reduce my interest in the line b/c I'm a completist collector (sue me) and it adds not just one figure that's trying something new, but six. Again, just for me. If I'm buying one, I'm buying them all - and that means $108 for just-okay ideas just in this one case.

I have all of wave 1 and also three Target exclusives so far, but probably won't rush to fill up the rest of the line until I can get them as a marked discount - b/w Waves 2 and 3, I'm nearly 40 figures behind, which is over $700. Probably buy a BAT or 2 when they come out, and that's about it. Super 7 is flooding the market, which is unfortunately the complete opposite of the Joe line. Feast or famine.

Did you just said Super 7 is flooding the market with GI Joe figures? This is the first time I read a Joe post on that since we been having insignificant Joe releases since the last wave of figures that hit Toys R Us...

ETA: It just occurred to me that Shipwreck and another Snake-Eyes have been announced for the next wave without pics. I'm not saying they'll be in Snakeling uniforms, but knowing Super 7 anything is possible.

I call it now... Those will be the Boy George Snake Eyes and Shipwreck from that episode that they are in disguise 🥸😀✌️

I'm hoping for a box set with those two, Satin, Polly, and Timber. And maybe the van.

Someone at Super7 remembers how to have fun.

Hey, someone has to plunge the Dreadnok's toilet!

I think it's sad when people have to sh*t on everything that isn't their cup of tea. I'm loving this line. As for the pricing, smaller company + smaller production runs = higher pricing. We've been having this argument since the Club days and some people still don't get it.

Also, as a completionist myself, I find it fairly easy to pick 2 or 3 of these 9 variant situations that satisfy me. Just make sure to get one with each skin tone and sculpt variation.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I preordered the Snakelings and combat engineers from BigBad the other day - went through and looked at each one to see who came with what. I'm glad I've been doing it this way or I wouldn't have even realized that the Shocktroopers come in blue and green as well as having different weapons.
