More than likely once this run of Ferrets sells, it's a done deal. More than likely the mold was then used to make Tiger Paws. Emily said on a FF podcast that once vehicles sell, there's a few stragglers that show up and once those sell that's it for the run. When a few VAMPS popped up after they launched she said those were stragglers that were leftover and a not second full restock. She said that they are open to doing a second run in the future but that none are planned at the moment.
edit:But the VAMP is listed on the best sellers on the bottom of pulse now? This mean anything or just a bug? Did a few pop up this morning? The vamp/ferret i believe are done until another year or so .. The vamp was archived which i think the ferret will show up there soon as well since the tiger paw is coming out , sounds like a hasbro thing to do ..

Yeah, didn't even boil the water, just popped it in the microwave for 2 minutes. They swapped very easily.

Coincidentally, that headless catcher is Benji Johnson, who played at UNC with Kyle Seager. Corey was committed to UNC, too, but no one here had any illusions he would not go pro out of high school. Also, Starting Lineup sculpts are just not as good as McFarlane. Articulate sports figures just don't work for me, for some reason. McFarlane recently swallowed Imports Dragon, whose sculpts they are using while adding new ones. The ID stuff was passable, but the rebirth of McFarlane Sportspicks is getting back to the early quality, especially the latest baseball offerings.
McFarlane started back doing hockey figures this year. |

The NBA starting lineup figures weren't bad, but their pricing was high in comparison with other similar-scale figures. Not sure if player likeness and shoe brand licensing had anything to do with that or not. I remember SL being huge back in the sports-memorabilia craze in the 80s/90s, but people seemed to be buying anything back then.

edit:But the VAMP is listed on the best sellers on the bottom of pulse now? This mean anything or just a bug? Did a few pop up this morning? I am not expecting all the vehicles to do that.. but I wouldn't be especially surprised to find that some do (like the NPC or the Tiper Paw) The Python Flight Pod is not exactly common these days but I have no worries long term about getting more as it is like the Coil the sort of thing people are going to ditch when they sell things on as it isn't seen as an an "important" item. There is a calculation there about desirability. As for the Ferret I'll likely consider buying another finances allowing next time there is a Pulse sale. I've calculated I have to spend over ?400 to make having a Pulse membership worthwhile in the UK though so what the discount is might vary. The problem with Pulse though is that if they put something on their sale they had a really bad habit of putting it on outlet or selling it through to as a clearance item soon after rendering their sale untrustworthy. I might be happy enough with another Ferret at 15% off but if somewhere like Star Action Figures decides to go big on the line now they have more space other avenues may open up. In a way it is a little bit surprising that Hong Kong & Mainland China based Collectible retailers don't sell more Gi Joe than they do.. perhaps because what they do sell is a lot of Asian things to American and selling American toys to America would be weird.. and they didn't likely think it was worthwhile selling them if their customers were in Europe instead. It seems to confuse people that Gi Joe has a fanbase in Europe.. either as they don't know about Action Force or they just don't get that some people are just interested in Cobra in a big way like some people really Like The Decepticons over the Autobots. It seems a common thought though in Asia and might even by why not a single 3rd party Transformers toymaker has thought to make some of the later Decepticons even when they did feature in more than one TV show like Say Triggerhappy, Misfire or Slugslinger, or a character who showed up in a fair number of comics like Carnivac or Spinister. Yet oddly they seem to have gotten the idea that Bludgeon was worth doing. I suppose if one was to juxtapose those sorts of Transformers to Gi Joe and specifically to Cobra they'd be characters like Overlord, Interrogator and Darklon. I will be interested though to see if anyone else jumps on the Gi Joe Bandwagon on the 3rd party scene other than Fans Hobby as I can't help but think that it might be considered easy money to recreate some of the small playsets & accessories in a larger size for example, as they'd have the advantage of working just as well with Marvel or other 6" figures too. https://www.3djoes.com/machine-gun-defense-unit.html https://www.3djoes.com/forward-observer-unit.html https://www.3djoes.com/watch-tower.html https://www.3djoes.com/missile-defense-unit.html https://www.3djoes.com/mortar-defense-unit.html https://www.3djoes.com/ammo-dump-unit.html https://www.3djoes.com/bivouac.html https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-rifle-range-unit.html https://www.3djoes.com/outpost-defender.html Or even small and easily produced vehicle like these : https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-hydro-sled.html https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-night-landing.html https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-jet-pack.html https://www.3djoes.com/manta-mail-order.html https://www.3djoes.com/chameleon.html (yes I know about the Nonnef one) https://www.3djoes.com/flame-thrower.html https://www.3djoes.com/machine-gun.html https://www.3djoes.com/missile-launcher.html |
