Are the hiss tank and awe striker still being shipped to walmart? Like a lot of people I have never seen these in a store yet.

Here are some photos of Scarlett after I trimmed the back inside of her head. I feel like she can look straight ahead now.

Looking at the build it reminds me of one of those generic kit bashed joes that came in the movie Hulk line from years ago. At
least some of the body does. I thought at first it looked cool but now it is ugly as hell. Next Quote:
I was hoping someone would post pics (unless I missed them a few pages back). I don't love nor hate it, I'm just confused as hell by it. For starters, it doesn't really look like a Joe figure at all, much less retro inspired. I mean, cool, thanks for the new figure, but I'm struggling to grasp what they were shooting for. I wish the budget had been applied to improving existing characters that need it, or even gone towards bringing some of the more obscure characters to the line.
Oh well, who knows- in a year I'll probably be reflecting on this very moment as I'm frantically trying to find it under $100.

I also notice all the new Retro stuff is still available. No sell-through at all...that doesn't bode well for the future of 1:18th Joe. I'm maybe jumping the gun, but the first wave shit didn't last more than a couple of hours, IIRC.

You know, I was thinking, about the only thing worse they could do for the joe line would be to release 5 poa Christmas packs that are painted solid gold.
Then I thought, Christmas is coming. Get ready.

I will say though that, strangely, I’m starting to like roadblock. Now it’s a given that an opportunity was missed to do an accurate version, but I’m starting to like it kinda in the way I like renegades duke. Not an accurate portrayal but in its own way. Except for the legs of course.
I’m wondering if the hiss driver will fit in the cockpit. He seems too tall. And the back of the awe box pictures crankcase with resolute snake eyes legs, while the other pics have him with the snake eyes version 3 and cobra commander legs. Wonder what’s in the box.

Why didnt they just put a Cobra Trooper in there like the original art shows? Just use the fucking awesome POC/50TH Cobra Trooper and give him some grey web gear and mask. EASY.
If they wanted to do the Cobra Pilot thing, like the 2008 figure -- again, they already had all the pieces to do that. Just use the POC Cobra Trooper and slap the helmet from that 2008 figure on there. They already had BETTER figures to include in there, but chose to spend money to make something inferior... And then theh release Roadblock on a shittt mold with no ankles or double knees?? Is Gijoe ever going to get somebody in charge who knows their shit?? Somebody who actually cares |

If the mask came off the fang pilot it wouldnt be horrible it just looks like the guardians of the galaxy guy right now under cover.
