Airtight - my all time favorite
Barbecue
Torpedo
Wet-Suit
Snake Eyes (obviously)
Beachhead (never had him as a kid but he still fits that description to me)

I would not mind in the slightest if we're lucky enough to get Airtight and he only has a helmeted portrait. Not that I'm against a removable or alternate head sculpt either (mine will never be displayed out of helmet though).

You are never alone fren.

SDCC 2023
Jul 20, 2023 ? Jul 23, 2023

Chuckles order (for me)
7/28/23

I'm going to guess it's not till next week. Last year, they didn't have any Chuckles on site, right? Just a code. So I imagine it's more complicated to figure out what's left, and they have to transport stock back to their distribution center(s).

Pretty much. A lot of my favorite characters as a kid and were either masked or wore a helmet obsuring at least part of their faces.

There are unmasked version of Beachhead, there is a 12inch one, and version 16 came with a unmasked head

Rattler backing is slowed to a crawl, luckly there is still 42 days to go

Oh, we better get an alternate head for Airtight that has his ridiculous hairline which is basically the same as my own hairline.

That doesn't surprise me being that we are past the first few days of the campaign. Expect it to continue like this until the last week or so.

Maybe Retro Snake Eyes v2 could come with a wolf pup instead of a full-grown Timber? Heck just recreate and pack in the wolf "slug" that came with the vintage figure

You convinced me! I am 100% on board.

I know BBQ didn't come with an unmasked head, but given we got a Fudgy Bar with Quick Kick, I would be extremely surprised if we didn't get a follicly-challenged head with Airtight.

Da fuck?

Cool factor never left the rightful leader of the Joes, Stalker .
