Damn, you guys got me all excited that your pre-orders are shipping, but it appears I haven't had the same luck.
Just wondering why the retro Duke being tone deaf is a moot point. I think it was the MAIN point Jay West was trying to make. I do feel like sometimes as an adult collector, I can be a little too harsh on Hasbro at times. I try my best to look at it from their standpoint, not mine, but sometimes it's tricky when I don't get what I was hoping they would release. But that Duke is just plain foolish. There's really no justifying it. It's such poor decision making I'm still not convinced it's not a rib. If they'd used the 50th Duke that came with Tombstone, I'd have been disappointed, but at least that would've made some sort of sense to me. Sorry, rant over. I feel like all of this was said pages ago in this thread. But I'm still pretty butthurt about it... because I am a giant man-child. |

I ordered mine within seconds of it going live and no shipping notice for me yet. But Walmart's shit is so wonky, who knows who'll get em and who won't.

Yeah, I pre-ordered a couple Black Series Mandalorian Loyalists figures as soon as they were up back in July and I seemed to get them weeks after everyone else. I did get them eventually--so no harm, no foul--but I was nervous!

After the Duke reveal, I raged, and now I have made peace with the fact that the moustache has limited knowledge of GI Joe, and that I will probably not like any future builds of the Retro line. So I won't need to get upset when I don't like the future Retro waves. If by some chance there is a good figure build, then it will only be a bonus.
It's still fun to see what we can come up with for any Ultimate figures. And who knows, maybe we can teach a thing or two to the moustache. Here is my no paint Falcon: I guess I should swap the forearms and hands with 50th Shipwreck forearms, and painted, 50th HnR hands. https://youtu.be/Cy1_wAcETsQ

You probably never saw this video of Mark Webber's opinion of Mark Maher.
https://youtu.be/Cy1_wAcETsQ I've said most of these criticisms before but here we go again:
I'm sure there are more, but I don't want to work myself up again. The bottom line is that the only people watching these Fan First livestreams are diehard GI Joe fans, but Mark Maher's sales pitches have always sounded like they're targeted at someone who hasn't seen a GI Joe figure since the original line ended in the early 90s. The people watching know all the minutiae about these toys and already own many of them multiple times over. MM needs to educate himself about Hasbro's own recent history of the line and target his presentation at the people actually watching. With the exception of O-face Duke (which is a steaming pile of irredeemable garbage), I've suggested better, more audience appropriate sales pitches for every single one of the Retro figures on these pages, and i am far from the only HT member to do so. |
