I just picked up a stalker and I am impressed. He looks much better then the 25th one. That is the only other one I owned.

The stalker is nice, but I'm not sure they'll be able to get all the og 13 in the retro line. It would be nice if they could.

Even if we only see like 4-5 "waves" per year, I think it's a decent pace for a smaller line. |

I think that if anyone thinks this retro line is going to go that long you got to be kidding yourself. I give it a year maybe that and I dont think we will get 4-5 waves from it for that year. Unless they have a lot to show at the walmart con deal here in a month or so I bet we might get only 1 or 2 more waves if that.

Now do I expect the line to really grow or grow fast? Nope. If it continues it will continue to be small scale releases. |

Retro has been seemingly very low budget line so far. And in my eyes at least has served as little more then a tool for comparing the demand of 4in vs 6in, as well as giving Walmart an exclusive so they would accept the movie stuff. I think that it has served both purposes well and its life is coming to an end. |

This would not be the first time this has happened. Several joe lines didn't last all that long. They didn't just move manufacturing for the joe brand they did it for other toys as well. They could manufacture something else for a few hours then say hey lets switch the molds we got to do some joe figures.

Compared to the first few waves, Stalker seems very stress-free to find, but I'm seeing a lot have the eyes looking off to the side. The factory people should be using mounted magnifying glasses.
Also, if the Cobra Trooper just had different colored gloves, he wouldn't look like a cheap knockoff. Not everything has to be exactly like the original color scheme. |

I just ordered a bunch of Cobra Troopers. They're down to $5.65 at Walmart.com
https://www.walmart.com/ip/G-I-Joe-R...ries/553707288 I just kept adding them in my cart until I got free shipping. |
