i simply depise convention exclusives, im nowhere near any of them, and its impossible to get a convention figure without selling your soul. any chance of hasbro making a piper figure avaliable for sale for the suggested retail of 9.99? or will it go the route of the AFA destro crap?

Piper was designed and produced solely for the GI Joe Collectors Club. And with the license issues around Piper, and his relative lack of marketability, and, y'know, a Con exclusive, you will never see him available in anything near mass market.

I just wanted to chime in and note that I really hate these exclusives too... I just don't understand why Hasbro thinks it's worth it to alienate the fans that don't have a chance to get them.
That said, the Piper figure is the absolute least interesting 3 3/4" figure I have EVER seen. This particular exclusive is not a problem for me as it is just horrible in every way. But if he was the least bit cool looking I would be really pissed. Even Destro was pretty easy to overlook... just a repaint (and a very odd one at that). I did manage to get one of the silver ones from HTS for the original and reasonable price though. |
