O-Ring Returns to G.I. Joe

xasonnex · 01-30-2023, 08:08 PM

I mentioned this in the Skystriker thread, but none of my Haslab figures have the stupid stamps on the back of the legs. So, that's one more difference between the 2-pack Trooper and the Haslab one.

Watched the Transformers livestream today as background noise. They did not use this time to announce any new TF/GI Joe O-Ring crossovers (or GI Joe anything).

Guess we'll find out in a few weeks whenever the Pulse stream is set for.

Thanks for doing the unsavory work for the rest of us.

Oh that is excellent news! That was my biggest issue with those.

O-Ring may not be dead. I hope it isn't. I just saw that the Star Wars Retro Collection is going to have five waves of figures this year. Thats a huge jump from last year.

The O-Ring two packs may not have sold like hotcakes, but they had to have done better than the Obi-Wan Retro Collection wave. I don't know of anything that has done that bad since the Phantom Menace wave that killed The Vintage Collection a decade ago.

Ooh, where did you see that news? Been watching Yakface, and nothing in a long while. I only know of the 6 figure set of ROTJ, as well as the 2nd six figures from ANH, coming this year (and the 4-Lom/Zuckuss 2 pack Amazon exclusive).

Yeah, I haven't heard anything either.

I dont think that has any bearing on GI Joe.

Welp, bit the bullet and decided to get the Cobra Commander and Duke 2-pack. Won an eBay auction from an importer so it only set me back $50 AU ($35 US). They just shipped tonight; here's hoping I don't regret the purchase...
