I have all of them preordered with a local guy. I don't like canceling with him. But I can't wait for those three. If I do get it through Amazon first I'll sell the doubles. I'm really looking forward to the Night Creepers too. I still remember getting him and Ambush for Easter one year.
It's fairly interchangeable. He has the same size ball peg as Grunt and Torpedo. Someone did post on here a shot with the Eel head on him. It looked pretty sweet. Made we want to try it on a Range Viper The Eel head or Techno on a Range Viper? I cannot recall if I saw the Eel head on the Techno Viper but sounds like something DFender would do |

The Amazon EEL is back up for order. Temporarily out of stock so who knows when or if you will get it but it is a few dollars cheaper than the Retro.

I always loved the IMP. I loved that they weren't simply missiles but also deployed mines chaotically (at least chaotically in my childhood head canon).

Stun is important to me due to the colour... but it would benefit from some small design tweaks the elevating gun positions only hinge up and down on the vintage I'd like more joints in a modern one so they can raise up a bit and remain parallel to the ground and pivot so both can angle left or right (the old one can only fire forwards and outwards not across its own centreline)
//// I'm fine with an VAMP... but again a tweak i'd appreciate would be enough interior space for the figure to duck down inside fully and them to add a closing hatch.. putting a sliding base under the rockets so they move forwards and up (or even come off entirely as a self contained unit) would all the back bumper to be more useful for troop transport & add play value if the entire rocket rack was a removable dis-mountable piece too. //// Speaking of Crimson Guard... they did at some point have a Black version didn't they, maybe they should bring that back. //// Hiss Tanks. I think they'd have to keep the treads, who'd pay over $200 for it if it had no treads ? I'm already less than thrilled we might miss out on the accessories on a repaint.. something that would bother me a lot less on an Arctic Hiss. 1. Hiss 3 Is OK, I am not 100% sure about the shade of blue, it always bothered me that it was much paler than other Cobra Blue items like the ASP. I don't hate it but if they sold that colour i'd only buy one and wait for a discount to get more than one... simply as I don't think the paler blue would match.. If they darkened the shade it would look better with Cobra Army colours but wouldn't match the original Hiss 3 then. Being Blue it might encourage them to do the Asp a bit quicker. 2. Crimson Hiss, a great way to do a 'World of Hiss' for 2025 perhaps as you can easily imagine them doing towables in red for it and such a centrepiece would encourage them to do other things like make a 'Crimson Ferret' or make female Crimson Guards, Cadet Denning etc.. I think a Crimson Hiss hauling a Crimson HAL or a Missile trailer would look so very nice... 'However' I think it might bother some people for being a straight up repaint. Also if they are tempted to sell it with more than 1 figure and a towable it might be pushing $300 and then that might be a serious detriment the saleability of other vehicles and well for that money it might as well be a bonus Haslab. 3. Arctic Hiss is my preferred colour for a Hiss 2nd version.. as it has a different load out (at least a colour or design variations) and some versions actually use the helicopter style cabin the Classified Hiss has so it means I won't have to be stuck with the old cabin design alone (ideally I'd pay extra to get the alternative track and cockpit parts and rockets too on any and all hiss tank repaints) as I see the dressed up Hiss as the "Classified one" and the stripped down one would be a Retro one.. (something they can do in a few years after they have done several repaints) as a Retro branded release perhaps. The reason I am keen on an Arctic Hiss is I can't see them being in a hurry to make a Cobra Wolf, or an Ice saber etc.. so I'd like something cold themed for Cobra too if we are going to get a Snow Cat in the next 18 months the Arctic Hiss would complement it. Again the 'World of Hiss' aspect might lead to things like a Version 2 Snow Serpent (either Male or female) a Ice Viper or things to antagonize Cobra like a Polar Battle Bear & more snow themed Joes. Basically which Hiss they go with is likely to lead to different complementary things being made.. if they make a Crimson Hiss then I would expect the Crimson Guard Immortal to be made, if they go nuts and make a septic tank then I'd expect Toxic Vipers and that whole setting to massively expand and likely get Zombies way quicker.. maybe even other genetic abominations like Monsters. Much like I was saying the other day with the consequences of making a Moray Hydrofoil for a Haslab in 2026 that would have the knock on effect for other "wet" themed Cobras. //// I suppose one way around this is just to have 2 Gi Joe Haslabs per year.. one being a new mould and one being a repaint/remould each year. |

Gotcha, updated release dates, missed this part. For some reason Amazon Canada has Quick Kick and Boa as May 1st release dates. I did not order through them but noticed it while looking at other figures. GameStop has/had a latter Metal Head release too. No such thing as uniformity haha

I'm not as selfish as most people are when they say stuff like "I paid for a haslab so I need the item to remain exclusive". No fuck that nonsense. If they can reuse the mold to sell me a watered down Hiss on Hasbropulse in a different color I will welcome it and it gives a chance for newer fans or fans who missed out to have one. I would charge 200-250 for a watered down Hiss with 1 figure. This means it only has one classic mode and no light up features. But it has everything else. Especially the threads and the compartment in the back. The HISS III design would rule although another black hiss wouldn't bother me. I kind of want two to flank my haslab hiss. You could rerelease the tank commander and the gunner as a two pack for those who missed out. This is all workable.
If they release a tigerfly at retail I am not sure I would get it but I know a ton of people who missed out on the dragonfly absolutely will because I know that fucking thing is gonna make a ton of people regret passing on it. |
