I am debating whether or not to sign up for the G.I. Joe Collector's Club just to get Dial-Tone.
He was one of my fav's as a kid and I wanted him in the 25th line, but $42.00 for a figure? My dilemma really lies with the fact that G.I. Joe figures are made by Hasbro and who knows if they will ever decide to release their own Dial-Tone for $8.99 in the future and maybe a better sculpt? What do you guys think?

Get it. If he's one of your favorites and you've wanted one. Just take the bite and do it.
Hasbro isn't going to make one.

I started a thread earlier, and I ended up getting the membership. If you think about it, there are the other exclusives you can get as well.

But I look at how Hasbro has made 25 of the same Star Wars figures, so why wouldn't they at some point make a Dial-Tone?

assume they will never release it at retail. if it's worth 42 bucks to you, buy that mofo.

No question about it... get the Club's. There is pretty much NO chance that Hasbro will make a ME style Dial Tone at this point ever, & if they do remake a male Dial Tone it will be nothing like the Club's offering for VARIOUS reasons.

It's a business strategy. Their number one targets aren't the Joe fans but the kids. Hasbro thinks that shocktroopers, jungle vipers, stormshadows, and snake eyes (yes I made both SS and SE multiples) are much more profitable than Dial-Tone. They only way for them to think that Dial-Tone will be a profit is to make him an exclusive for us Joe fans since we want it more than the latest Snake Eyes or Duke

I feel its worth it...granted he's expensive for one figure but the club exclusives are really sweet and to be honest I kinda look forward to getting them now.
