Yeah I think the Audience is what the Audience is.
Sure there will be people who rage quite, or people who don't buy vehicles, and a trickle of new people.

(The UK / Europe pretty much killed that growth in those markets by making Gi Joe a Pulse Exclusive though).

But as previously established it seemingly confuses Hasbro's noggin that people outside the USA like Gi Joe.."at all" (does that include Canada too ?).

The Gi Joe Banner on Hasbro Pulse (UK) shows the HMS Techno-Viper and Mutt and Junkyard.
It is a shame that they didn't think to actually make a Banner just for Quarrel considering her status. But then they also completely failed to get adequate stock of Big Ben too for the UK market.

Anyway I wandered off point, what I was going to say is that there seems to be very similar numbers sold of vehicles in online sales... and maybe the state of the market is hard to say as they keep letting things sit undistributed in warehouses for months before they go to Ollie's and Ross stores.

I have to jump on every Crimson Guard I see as they are so rare and hard to get here. Yet they had them stacked up for $5 or $6.00 in clearance places.

It is annoying when that happens with an army builder.. heck I can recall when I used to glance at Star Wars toys how hard it was sometimes to get just a basic Stormtrooper as they instantly sold out.

It looks like those Crimson Guards sat in a warehouse for a couple of years and then got dumped.. how can people grow the brand. get new customers and succeed if they keep doing that !

I?d say Spiderman; 1 figuarts iron spider, one revoltech bootleg I never ordered but came from Ali Expreess anyway, the Sentinel one with the gargoyle head, and from Hasbro the Toei Spidey + the 3 unmasked ones from No Way Home. I also plan to buy Scarlet Spider, but is he considered the same character?

I also have maybe 4 IronMan, but only because I had to buy them for BAF pieces.

As for Classified, it would be CoCo. The regular one, a regal bootleg, the retro from the Hiss x2, and Once a Man x2 (one I don?t intend to keep, bought it for future trade fodder).

Seriously. Relax. We're pretty much right on track with the Dragonfly HasLab. In fact, it's actually quite scary how closely the Rattler has followed the backing pattern of the Dragonfly. (and this isn't even up-to-date yet.)

Brian Brinks's charts tracking the crowdfunding campaigns are awesome!
I was also going to post how the Rattler has the same trajectory as the Dragonfly.

Some pages back there was mention of the Baroness in a bikini and it had me thinking... If the Moray were to ever become a haslab, I wouldn't mind having the Baroness and Zarana in bikini outfits as tiers. Would that be obscure enough to not ruffle many feathers? I mostly want Zarana with her wig.

They could probably even it out by offering Destro and CC in Speedos, as well. lol

I think that would change the age group for the toys, im not sure, but it feels like it has too

A spare head on some slinky anime girl body might be the best way to get a scantily clad character.

Yeah this is the way. Hasbro is never gonna do characters in bikinis/speedos.
