Yes Sir, this! Those Sunbow S7 offerings are sweet, but I can't bring myself to do 5 POA at that price point, regardless of how sweet they are. These though? *Chef's kiss*. I want two of each, with at least 6 of that Officer/Trooper set. I can't wait to have epic backyard battles with my boy! Sad pants cancer flashback moment: There was a time where I didn't think I'd get to play with my collection with my boy. Now that I get to build his, with him? I start tearing up every time I think about it. Thanks, Hasbro. |

This is a small production run for Hasbro, not a small production run for a smaller company. 10K has already easily paid for injection molding, and Hasbro has the knowhow to reduce those costs even further.
If a run of these didn't even pay for injection molding with a profit, we wouldn't have even known about the project. I'm assuming this is a different ball game than normal. I think this is a direct-to-consumer situation, which may become something more and more normal for companies like Hasbro because the toy market is changing into more of a "collectibles" market. And not only that, global manufacturing is changing/has already changed, with costs skyrocketing and distribution slowing. The old ways of doing things aren't always going to work anymore.

My son is one. I'm looking forward to seeing if he shows interest.
God I hope he does. |

They really nailed the reveals today. I know there's figure fatigue for Duke and Cobra Commander in other lines, but they had to be the next two figures to come out just to build the teams around. And the troop builder pack is a perfect follow up. I prefer this CC to the Mickey Mouse version personally. The Cobra logo should never be altered, and the colors look great. The head still looks off to me, but not enough to keep me from buying two.
Now that we know they're staying with two packs, these are my predictions for the next waves: Destro v1 and Baroness Gung Ho and Roadblock Major Bludd and Firefly Flint and Lady Jaye You have to figure they'll sort of copy the roster from the Classified line, but I'd really love to see stuff like Alpine and Bazooka, Rock 'N Roll and Clutch (or Breaker if they release Clutch with a Vamp), Cobra Eel and Snow Serpent, or Viper and Tele Viper. |

I think that's a really good guess Ford.

Hasbro already has a new Rip Cord mold for the Night Force version.
So a two-pack of Rip Cord and ??? That's a tough one to guess. |

Unless you have multiple Pulse accounts, you'll only be able to purchase 2 of each. I tried to get 3 of the SS/SE and they wouldn't allow it. No second order went through, saying I already purchased the limit.
