Products aren't 5 years behind. The only assortment that didn't get a widespread domestic release was Time Crisis. That was a direct result of the domestic retailer only wanting to carry licensed products that lead to a final contract revision that fans saw this past Thanksgiving, which was why multiple e retailers could offer products instead of the single retailer
And the bulk of those products from Time Crisis are being offered through the Corps Universe. I'm sure the next comment will be first release colorways, and that's being discussed for online sales * both direct and e retail partners. So those for example who missed out on the Sky-Strike and want it as well as the Sky-Knight the options are being discussed this month. |

Don't I know it! This first Corps! Universe assortment was pushed back and revised during the pandemic several times. Several Characters originally Slated for Time Crisis were pushed into The Corps Universe Assortment To answer your question on Whispering Willie the prototype shown was not the final product. It was a hard copy prototype. Several small revisions were done to improve the quality and Willie along with several other new sculpt characters will join the battle as The Corps! universe continues. The factory that handles the new style construction had several production delays which is why for the first assortment the figures were all gen II construction and not the gen III body styles.,...Vulture will have a removable helmet and other new augmentation.

I checked today. Still no Ollie?s exclusives in my area. Lanard?s brilliant marketing team has been able to keep our area Corps free for about 4 years now. Looking forward to hearing about more great products that we?ll never see here.

It's like he's pretending that willie was not in any of the art for time crisis 1.

Guys - I might be wrong - I know he's been saying for years now PRODUCTS ARE COMING! and they don't come. I feel cheated too. However, I think that what he said last time feels genuine. He said Walmart canceled orders due to backlog and being delayed - I think that sounds true enough. GI Joe Classified Retro Lady Jaye and Baroness were announced a long time ago, and only a couple of weeks ago I found a good stock of them at one of my local Walmarts. This same Walmart has an almost complete aisle of toys clearance, trying to freeing up space. Meanwhile, I got all the Corps and Star Troopers products that were supposed to be at Walmart, at Ollie's and Ocean State Job Lot. So, it does feel like Walmart canceled the order, and it got into buyback retailers. At least that part sounds true enough.
Also, Walt says that Lanard is tired of these shenanigans, and will perhaps offer their merchandise through direct sales. I don't know how true is that, but consider that he always said that direct sales was a no-no in order for Lanard to keep prices low (since they relied on massive orders from big retailers to do that) and now he says they will do it. It doesn't sound too far from reality. I agree though - the Whispering Willie figure is super behind, and its renders has been out for a long long time. |
