It will all align with the Fall Walmart toy refresh. When is that? Lanard Walt knows these things. Calling TK Prime!

Here's hoping we see some pictures of these retro ARAH figures soon. I'm not sure if I'm going to collect them - it'll depend on how they look.
I hope they go with the 1983-on "swivel arm battle grip" design, because if they go with the '82 straight-arm figure design I'm not getting any of them. That original design was crap; the articulation was poor, and the thumbs kept breaking off in many cases - terrible. I had some of these as a kid, and felt they were - overall - garbage. The face/head sculpts for some of the '82 figures were awful as well. Especially bad was: Grunt, who looked like an Ape; and, the original Scarlet figure was abysmal - she looked like a guy...ugh.

Really hoping for the best from this line.
I grew up with Ninja Force and Star brigade shelf warming the pegs and was always dissapointed I couldn't buy cool figures like those in the catalogues my older brothers had. I remembr writing a letter to Santa possibly around 94 or 95 where I asked for figures from the 1986 line up and remember thinking Santa hated me when I ended up with a Robo-Joe. Most of my childhood Joes I bought secondhand as it was the only way to get a decent figures. This potentially has the opportunity for me to live the childhood I never had.... I'm really hoping these figures are widely available and with good supplies of troop builders. |

Well, with SDCC now cancelled, it's up to the whims of Hasbro and Walmart to disseminate pics. And right now, I don't think hyping toys is a priority for Walmart.

I'm really mixed on the retro. I was fortunate enough to get a lot of it due to doing every odd job a kid at 10 could do. Lotsa lawns, stacking wood, hauling hay. Holy shit!! So worth it though. I REALLY wanna see ME on original cards and vehicle boxes. My childhood alarm is going off like crazy. I just love GIJOE so much. If I had a time machine, I'd take us all back to 1982. Dont forget tour wallets and purses guys and gals. Hopefully we will get a movie trailer and pics for the retro and movie line soon. Before we know it we will all be locked and loaded to get our beloved JOES with a passion.
Everyone be safe and keep healthy. GIJOE is coming and I dont want any of us 6 feet under due to this COVID-19 crap and missing this relaunch. Yo JOE!! See you all back here at HISTANK central soon. |
