I think that's the superior version. I like the white pants one too but the dark pants just seems better for some reason and I have 2 of them lol But yeah, these are the best action figures ever made. Hands down. Seeing them in person is so great. And their heads and hands are way easier to swap than Hasbro figures. I mean they just pop right off and aren't loose or anything once on.

I'm not into Popeye, but those figures still look really good and if you ARE into Popeye, those things would be fantastic.

Popeye is 6" scale but shorter than most 6" figures because he was just...short. lol I also have an extra white pants version with Bluto if anyone's interested. I always get 2 of everything. I'd sell far cheaper than eBay. |

The email when available really makes me think there will be a second run of these. They did this for Snake Supreme Cobra Commander and Master of disguise Zartan. You will probably have to wait until 2023 but they would be dumb not to do a second run. Last edited by MadFlava76; 10-02-2022 at 07:14 AM.. |

I am not saying it was anyone's fault for missing and I agree Hasbro should make more and distribution needs to be better.
While Hisstank can be a rough crowd. It is a very supportive, open and honest crowd. I only got what I did today because of the Community. Yes, I probably would have gotten it during the 3 to 4 minutes it was available to the public. Yet that is not the point. People here are supportive and if you don't cast too many stones you will be surprised at how supportive and generous they are. I didn't use 'we' because I'm one of the boorish jingoist outliers who lives under a rock. But people who have been able to get a second exclusive in the past have offered to sell them without markup. I can understand disappointment, believe me or not. Just please don't paint with a wide brush. With that said, one collector reached out to me last night and saved the day! So thank you to that kind person. Still, situations like these are avoidable and regrettable. I hope the Joe team does a better job in the future.

I was able to score a Serpentor yesterday. I was on a rush to check out and didn’t know they were 2 per person. If anyone has an extra I would be interested in a second one.

Not sure how they can do this, do they hold back stock for premium members that is equal to the number of people that own premium and limit it to one per account? Give them a couple days to buy before releasing the rest to non premium? Or increase the head start on buying from 1 hour to like 24 hrs? I do feel one of the issues here was limit 2 per account. Many people bought 2 so they can flip one later. Should have been limit 1 per account like Mindbender.
The email when available really makes me think there will be a second run of these. They did this for Snake Supreme Cobra Commander and Master of disguise Zartan. You will probably have to wait until 2023 but they would be dumb not to do a second run. I read a comment earlier by an unhappy Tanker that missed out on Serpentor due to reasons and now claims to be done with the line. Fine. I think the same Tanker also claimed to back 5 HISS Tanks. Again fine. I’m only bringing it up because based on what you’re suggesting, this person only bought what they did to keep x number and flip x number. I’m saying it shouldn’t matter why. I bought 2 Serpentors; very likely would have bought a third. I wanted 2 Mindbenders, but could only get one. Is it a bummer that enthusiastic, otherwise extremely committed collectors missed out and are now upset to the point of abandoning the line completely? Yes, it blows. Why didn’t Hasbro simply make more? IDK. I’m not calling you/anybody out or trying to start trouble, just making an observation. And I certainly don’t have an answer on how to best distribute this stuff so that everyone gets what they want. I’ve personally managed to secure(mostly) what I’ve wanted or was after with this line, but it’s been a bit of work from the beginning. There has been some aggravation and some learning from past experiences. So for everyone’s benefit, I hope Hasbro continues working to improve their handling of JOE product across the board.

The auto industry has been in the same boat for the last two years plus.

I encourage you to provide an example of another company/industry who is a year delayed in getting product to the United States only.
Every other toy company is getting product out and on shelves. Every other *Hasbro toy line* is getting product out and on shelves. This is a GI Joe exclusive problem. If you think expecting them to have the same delivery standards as *every other company and every other brand* is a wild and out of control demand for transparency that goes too far, man, I dunno what to tell you other than I hope you get a quarterly dividend mailed to you from Pawtucket. |
