I saw 6 FANGs at my local Walmart in Central Arkansas today. I just could not bring myself to purchase one. I really hope they announce some specifics about upcoming waves soon.

Has anyone headswapped the Fang pilot's onto a standard ME body? I know the overall construction is very different, but if it fits well enough, it might make a good fit for the spare blue DG trooper bodies I have laying around.

As I recall, it was a concept Clutch. It was either joked about or rumored that the headsculpt was inspired by Gerard Butler.

I was very surprised to find 3 FANG Helicopters sitting on the shelf at Wal Mart this weekend.
I bought 2. 1 to open and 1 to display sealed. Still no wave 3 figure sightings in my area.

As much of a clusterfuck distribution has been for the Retro line (and Classified) for such a while now, I get surprised to when, out of nowhere, these pop up.

Do you guys think we'll end up seeing any of the ninja figures tied in with final waves from the SE movie? Or do we think there will be no 1:18 scale other than Retro?

Those concept figures are 10 years old and still look better than most of what we are getting in the retro line. Joe Con 2012 was the only con I ever attended and it was a good one. I still have cash in hand waiting for these, Hasbro.

Anyone know of someone who might have the Zombie CC, Zombie Dark Ninja, Zombie Storm Shadow, or Ghost Ninja Henchman that they would consider parting with?
Do you guys think we'll end up seeing any of the ninja figures tied in with final waves from the SE movie? Or do we think there will be no 1:18 scale other than Retro? As far as more 1/18 past Retro, if asked a year or so ago, I'd have said that I wouldn't have even expected Joe to come back at all. Hasbro does seem to be making a push to bring the brand back, despite the obvious missteps and many who (ridiculously) hold the notion that they are actively trying to kill it. I'd say that nothing's impossible at this stage.

I'm fairly certain that those never got past the concept phase, but I'm relatively new to ME, so I'm by no means an authority on the subject. If I'm not mistaken, some people got their hands on some of the heads. I think Turner may have had a pretty great custom SS around here somewhere, if memory serves.
https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...cept-case.html https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...lt-custom.html Casts of a few never released Hasbro heads, including those zombie sculpts, were given at the last Joe Con Custom’s class. As I recall, they had to sign an agreement not to cast them. Turner did an awesome job with his! |
