I collect Star Wars Lego and Transformers G1 characters (new releases and occasional vintage complete). The Classifieds line has been catching my eye a lot recently. With Hasbro in kind of bad shape financially I am hesitant to start collecting a new line. Does any one know if the line is popular enough to continue for several more years and do they hold their value?

It's already been going on for 3 years and survived being associated with a terrible movie. They funded two HasLab projects in less than 24 hours of launching them, meanwhile Star Wars had two failures in a row. No real reason to be worried about it going away anytime soon.

Even if the line ended now, there'd still be tons of figures for you to chase down. The releases are in the 60s now (maybe more) with at least a dozen or so confirmed renders and pre-orders on the way. That's not even including the current Haslab which hit it's goal in a day, which is the second time that's happened for the Classified line.

The one catch was that the red shirt I needed was out of stock, so I had to buy a white one and dye it red. It's a little darker but I think it looks fine.

I should also mention, the paint combo I used for the gold chains was Retributor Gold, with a combination of Auric Armor and Golden Griffon for a dry brush. I didn't put a seal over top because that makes it look more metallic and less yellow, and I think ti should hold up fine. I also used Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter to prime the gold parts.

I also used a different pair of cuffs on him so I didn't need to trim the arms. And I painted his neck brown in case any ended up peaking out from the shirt.

1/18 isn't being done because Hasbro is funneling all collectors to buy the more expensive 1:12 line. It's what they've been doing ever since they started cutting the budget on the 1:18 lines way back in 2014 or 2013.

It's why they're cockblocking Hiya toy's 1:18 line from being sold in the US. Hiya selling quality 1:18 figures would eat up Hasbro's Classified sales, or rather, it's what they fear will happen.
Hiya is "looking" for a distributor, but they're only looking because they need to be sold in a very limited fashion and Diamond (who already carries Hiya's other 1:18 lines) wants too much money from those limited sales. So Hiya already has distributors in place who would want to carry their GI Joe line, but Hasbro is cockblocking them by not even getting a normal collector market release (like the rest of Hiya's lines).

Hasbro doesn't think the GI Joe line can support two different scales as it is, and they're going to choose getting $24 over $14 from their customers.

Personally, i've only bought 3 GI Joe Classified figures and gotten two as a gift. I don't care about Hasbro's Classified line and spent more money on Mezco's One:12 GI Joes to have something nicer. I've also spent about $100 per month just buying up old shit i missed before or have wanted a bigger army of in the 25th/PoC/30th/etc 1:18 lines. Plus Hiya's GI Joe line.
So Hasbro definitely isn't getting any money from me.

Anyone get their Snake Eyes yet? Mine hasn't shipped from a canadian shop.

I'm making the full A-Team in 1/18 scale, although the Etsy seller I bought the heads from does make 1/12 scale heads too. I'm not sure if they're in scale with Black Series or Marvel Legends though, so I'd have to ask them before I consider laying down any money for them (they're printed so it's possible they could do a custom order for me).

This ML Peter Parker caught my eye recently because he'd be just about perfect as a starter for Murdock (he's the same sculpt as The Hood / Michael so I already know he'd scale well). However, I told myself recently I have to finish some current projects before I start committing to more. Given that the Dragonfly is on the way though, it seems inevitable that I'm gonna want Murdock in my collection.

Saw a review of the Arctic BAT. Looks like it actually uses the same ball peg for the head as the Crimson BAT, so the new head can be swapped over to there, and actually looks pretty decent. I remember in a previous thread someone said the OG BAT, PP BAT, and Crimson were all different pegs, so at least these two share a peg.

I'm now in the very early stages of making John Matrix now, too. I thought Rambo would be finished by now but some of the parts / materials are taking longer to get ahold of than I expected. I will be doing a lot of greenstuff and additional bits and bobs on Matrix's vest, and adding a real zipper to the front so that it closes up and can still be removed. Like with Rambo though, my progress is gonna be throttled by how long it takes to get parts, especially since I need a non-Tiger Force Bazooka figure to steal the pants and boots from.

>>10457624
I've dyed plastic before but not softgoods. The dye generally seems to adhere synthetic better to fabric long term than it does to vinyl, although I did have to touch up a few spots with a red sharpie after I put it on him since it's very elastic and the dye didn't quite get everywhere along the seams. It still worked out well though.

I'm not mega familiar with GI Joe (I've seen a few eps of the cartoon and thought it was pretty decent, especially by 80s merch show standards) but Classified always looked super cool to me so I'm dipping my toe in. Ordered Zarana from a local store- she looks like a lot of fun and I love her face, she looks borderline psychotic. Reminds me a bit of Pris from Blade Runner. Did I do good?

I get its probably pretty hard to get actual licensing for a real military vehicle but I have to wonder why they got licensing at all unless rezvani is covering some of the cost as a publicity stunt. I would be almost as embarrassed to put my joes in this as I would be to drive one in real life.

As would we all but Vala is going after what he sees as an wanting market and the auto will likely use this to advertise to Europe and the Middle East as an alternative vehicle to Jeep and Hummer for your possible pseudo-military options. The amount of bling some of these nations dazzle with like a certain one who has nothing but half a million dollar supercars as their police force to show off wealth and power. Besides showing off the ride with alternate add-on missile pack I don't recall anyone giving a price, possible KS hints, or anything else. Those wannabe Jeeps are certainly not going to handle the gun turret top well in real life but here we are so... at least it's something? Beats the $400+ RC Hummer the Desert Rat guy showed off.

I missed out on the Vamp generation, so this thing ended up being my default Joe 4x4. I honestly prefer this more since it can fit more then two figures and has the great pick up bed for carrying all sorts of gear and supplies. Usually this thing was the scout truck to forge the path ahead of the Battle Wagon, which followed close behind as the Joes main combat platform.

The problem with having a GI Joe + Transformers shared universe is that there's really only two ways to go about it-- they are built up as parallel IPs that at some point join, when the Transformers go public and the Joes and Cobra have to get involved, at which point it's like the MCU where the two franchises are essentially inseparable on the screen, or you have to have the Transformers leave earth and then Cobra emerges using technology the Decepticons left behind.

The two IPs do gel pretty nicely but the timing has to be done right. The third option is to just set GI Joe vs. Transformers in its own universe, but studios don't do that kind of stuff anymore.

Got Zarana in today- she's my first Classified figure and honestly I'm blown away. For the price she's astonishingly good; a few minor QC bugbears (bicep swivel tends to pop off) but that aside she's really good. Obviously a bit more paint would have been nice, but considering this is a £20 figure with double knees and elbows, good torso articulation, no joint-pegs and fucking dropdown hips? Fantastic stuff. Also the headsculpt is fantastic, looks properly psychotic rather than just a milquetoast "grr imma stronk wahman".
Tempted to add some minor paint touchups, mostly adding details like buckles on the backpack.

I can see the Dragonfly struggling more then the HISS tank did. It's a bigger piece, and a flying one at that, so it needs a lot more space on a shelf. It also features specific named characters, which combined with it's size makes it harder to army build. It's also pretty generic looking, being based on a real world aircraft. It doesn't have that same iconic, pop cultural defining design as the HISS Tank.

I'm sure all the goals will be hit for it though, it'll just take longer. It'll certainly do better then the Sky Striker, but I don't see it touching the HISS Tank's numbers. I personally backed both prior Joe projects, but this one is an easy pass for me. And I can only imagine I'm not the only Joe fan who feels the same.

It probably doesn't help that they increased the number of backers needed to fund and unlock all the tiers from the HISS. The HISS only needed 8000 backers to fund the project, the Dragonfly needs 10000. Then the HISS's goals were unlocked at 10000, 12000, 14000, and the final at 16000. The Dragonfly needs 13000 for its first stretch goal, then 16000, and 19000 for the final goal. So it needs way more than the HISS to unlock everything.

They probably overestimated what the demand would be for the Dragonfly. The numbers were BTFOed on the HISS because nearly everyone was probably buying multiples. probably a lot less buying more on this one as most people will probably only want one, rather than 3, 4, 5 like the tank.

Yeah, it'll still probably do pretty well, probably even make all the stretch tiers. Usually with crowdfunding, the first day and the last day are the most important, especially since you probably have holdouts who are being cautious to see how far the project will get on its own. Then they'll probably contribute once they feel more comfortable that the project will go far enough.

I suppose international shipping would be at least 100AUD for it, probably more given the length, maybe enough to get us up to the 600 ballpark so far.

The first three days and last week usually, HISS/Sentinel was an outlier, but you can tell the make or break of these projects pretty quickly if they are getting backed. The back end shows you if you get extra value. I missed the HISS tank due to the financial fuckery of having a shittier job than I do now, so I have to pay the after-market price, at least it isn't that bad.

It's always funny when people wait until the end. Instead of going early adding to the hype and getting early unlocks to generate even more backers. The o-ring ninjas were the same thing. They weren't even funded going into the final days and then ended up way over the goal by the end. If they had contributed earlier maybe more would have too to get some unlocks.

Hama's explicitly stated he made Snake Eyes white "because he had to" IE pressure to make the most popular Joe a white guy, once it became apparent that Snake Eyes was the breakout character.

It's one of the main reasons why Hama convinced Hasbro to create an Asian rival for Snake Eyes, once Hasbro started expanding the Cobra roster, as Hama fully intended to marty stu Storm Shadow onto the side of good as his self-insert the first chance he could and why he ragequit the book in it's final couple of issues, forcing Hasbro to have to run an inventory story by Hama as the final issue (due to Hama being pissy that Storm Shadow had to go back to being a member of Cobra on orders of Hasbro once Ninja Force ran it's course).

It's hard to believe stuff he says only when movie is made and his work is scrutinized... unless he said that a decade ago?
Hama's never been shy about criticizing Marvel and Hasbro for decisions on race, and pushed a lot of boundaries on the race of characters and even fellow employees and their workd environment.

So for him to say that recently, it's a bit weird. The storm shadow bit was known and he before made it seem like snake eyes being white was his own idea to be more rivalry...y.

That's -one- reason pre-orders can be offered, however there are other reasons such as to ensure products are sold and moved as quickly as possible, to ensure sales now that customers might not commit to later, and give customers the earliest chance at buying the product.

There was a rumor a couple weeks ago that shitloads of stuff was already hitting warehouses in Cali, including: Arctic BATs, Scrap Iron, Copperhead, PP Crimson Guards, Range Vipers, basically all the outstanding retro carded Walmart figures, etc.

I wonder how much of that is true. It wouldn't be surprising, since Rock 'n Roll has been popping in and out of stock at some places within the last week or two.

Do you even know the history of how pre-orders started in retail? I'll give you a hint, in the 60s they usually called it a "pre-order incentive" because it was smarketing tactic in which a retailer/manufacturer/publisher encouraged buyers to reserve a copy of the product at the store prior to its release(usually books until more recently) companies wish to have strong initial sales so they might offer incentive to induce shoppers who might otherwise wait for positive reviews or a specific shopping period, like say Christmas, to commit to a purchase. Having placed the order, the buyer will usually commit to it, there are dozens of studies that show this, it's why Hasbro does their stream prior to the preorders is to drum up the fans to go out and get those orders made.

Your idea is order on the demand, something completely different.

It's not and it clearly works as most sold out preorders don't usually come back before release.
FOMO is a hell of a drug for some collectors, I'd even wager that is the heart of why you don't like preorders selling out.

It depends on getting the factories started up. In a made to order situation they have no clear knowledge of how long the runs are going to be or what backups could occur. Something both Super7 and Forth Horsemen are learning the hard way. In this situation they know exactly what they made and when they can bring it to market, they want to sell it all and preorders help speed that process

>This is stupid. The exact reverse happening is just as possible.
Yet, it doesn't occur, Range Viper, Serpentor, Mindbender, etc all of them stay sold, like that one anon already noted: fear of missing out can drive these preorders hard and really that is the heart of preorders for the company, to get all the product sold as fast as they can.

It's worth it for Wild Bill, who they've point blank stated the Dragonfly version won't be re-issued to mass retail and for Ripcord, who's regular color scheme is one of those things where again, we don't know if we'll ever actually get at retail.

>>10465580
IF we do get Wild Bill, it won't be that mold. Most likely they'd make him in his Battle Corps Union Cavalry outfit, which BTW is my favorite version of him.

Also, don't fucking expect toon related Hasbro shit, since they've apparently given the rights to do toon shit to Super7

They said the exact same thing with the Hiss Tank with the Dragonfly, that everything might get used or retooled later for something else that might not be Haslab related, the big thing they have stated is the decos won't be the same. They released the Duke, CC and Trooper from the Skystriker Haslab in those two packs, they were the same molds right down to the TM stamps. Same with some of the exclusives that came with the Star Wars Razorcrest where the offworld jawa is now a mainline release.

I have no idea why so many have faith a company as shameless as Hasbro wouldn't offer some of these figures a year or two after the backing event.

Correct and the "Not always" is by majority exclusives. Pulse exclusives usually sell out in hours and the ones that do all clear over three times their OG value after a year of being discontinued or less(00 Deluxe SE, Regal CC who was a made to order, Snake Supreme CC, MoD Zartan, etc). Target fucking up the first wave of Cobra Island lead to all but one wave(Major Bludd) getting well over produced to the point that only the army builders hold any strong after market prices. Walmart and Amazon however are absolute nightmares with their exclusives sometimes they just have an massive amount that keeps showing back up even after deep discounts (Kamakura, Retro wave 1) other times it's like they just get one small supply and just call it quits (Arctic Mission Storm Shadow, wave 2 retro). I'm not sure if this is a Hasbro issue or the companies getting the exclusives as they sadly stay very hush with how all the deals work out, but for this line the madness that leads to people preordering asap is you don't know if Eel is going to be up for over a year like Kamakura or if it's going to be like Serpentor and Arctic Mission Storm Shadow where they are just sold out and more or less stay that way until discontinued.

Pretty much this; >>10467891 it is kind of a craps shoot when it comes to these figures. Some are easy to find, some end up being a nightmare to get. You could say that maybe the first year or so the issue was covid and other distribution problems which maybe led to the Cobra Island and some of the early stuff being hard to find and pretty limited.

Because they were so hard to find, people went nuts over the TF and PP Target figures, but in the end, so many got sent out that they were on pegs for months, and eventually got deep clearanced out by late January/Early February.

The problem is, you just never know which figure is going to be "the one" that you just can't get if you didn't PO without paying 3x retail for. Most of the straight-up retail release figures I don't PO, though. At first I didn't PO any of the PP Crimson Guards because the Vipers, BATs and Officers were so easy to find, but then I ended up POing 2 anyway, because I'm an army builderfag and want several of each generic trooper, so if I end up also finding them in stores its just more to pick up.

Its honestly pretty cheap to me that they can't just give the figures in these Haslab alternate heads, one with the hair, and one with the helmet instead of this swappable hair. They're willing and able to do multiple heads just fine on much cheaper figures, but for such a high-end product they have to do it this way?

1) That's actually three alternate head parts (look at the headphones on the body, hairs different, the head set is likely molded with that hair) and that would be three heads, not just one
2) A lot of people prefer this way for a few reasons as it's easy to store as it's smaller/less materials, and it makes it possible to have her hold her helmet to the side. Super7 had a few ultimate's where that was a complaint

That's not to say it's the "right" way just sharing that communities seem to enjoy alt parts over alt heads and what not.

That's pretty similar to my city too. The best luck I've had with Classified at actual retail stores was the very first week when Cobra Island stuff came out and I came across two Beach Heads and 3 Troopers at the first Target I went to. I bought all of them and gave one BH to my friend and sold another to a guy in a FB group a few weeks later who was having a hard time finding any and it was his favorite character. Everything after that has just been Lady Jayes and Flints for as far as the eye can see. If it wasn't for online stores, I would not be able to collect this line at all.

Fucking disagree. Have no interest in this figure and quite frankly, it's a garbage unlock since no one really likes this retcon character/repaint and quite frankly, Ripcord has a bigger fanbase.

If they need a female character, I'd rather they either make Agent Helix exclusive to this set or do something like Jinx in generic army garb since at least that's a novelty that would make for a more desirable exclusive figure.

I did specify NF Ripcord, a figure that didn't exsist till two years ago when it was created for a haslab that didn't even reach all its goals. Its also a halo jumper with a helicopter which makes no sense, one that has its flightsuit unbuttoned since its just a lazy black repaint so its mostly useless. We're also getting a real ripcord so it is redundant for most collectors. Compare that to this figure, one that's existed since the 80s, is obscure enough to never get a release on its own so it works better as a haslab unlock. An actual helicopter pilot to go with the helicopter they're selling. While it is a prepaint, its still a unique character that tells us what we're getting with future releases in scarlett and zap. She's also one crappy marvel legends headswap away from being pilot scarlett if you want to double up on her. She's not moving the needle on sales, but NF ripcord has been proven to be a failure at that too, so its a wash there.

I'll put on my foil hat and suggest may be eel was a stunt to boost the haslab? Get the talking heads yapping about fomo over classified figures and the hiss being a great deal etc and remind them of the current haslab. But really eel is just so ship wreck and torpedo have someone to play with. Just gotta get a moccasin or tiger shark and it'll be set.

Are you new to toy collecting? From MOTU to Transformers collectors/fans love deep cut shit. These Haslabs are at the hardcore die hard fans and they like these things.

>Ripcord has a bigger fanbase.
That is a really weird metric to gauge as this shit isn't at general fans but the more die hard crew. I mean a female Hiss Tank Driver is just as obscure but people were loving that set up for the HISS tank.

>I'd rather they either make Agent Helix
That is really a off pick because she was 3rd gen Joe series and this is going off the 1st gen series which Jane is a part of in a deep cut way.

> or do something like Jinx in generic army garb
Sounds like you are just sharing your wants/fetishes, which is fine but I think it's in poor taste to try and claim there are whole piles of fans that care when their is no evidence to back that up.

Normally I have no interest in and detest lavish to the original toy sculpts, but since the point of this is for use as a retro scarlet down the line I don't mind. The point of the retro figures is to be recreations of the old ones.
I do wish the design aesthetic of the mainline would update shit a little more though. The cobra trooper is so much better than the officer for example. Give me more modern updates not just 6 inch versions of the old shit.

I don't like wasting the time shopping for them irl and I'm not a fan of waiting on discounts unless I have no interest in the item because I want to support the brand. Example: I waited for Red and Blue cobra Ninjas to drop a bit before ordering them because I'm not a big fan of Ninja figures in the line, however I always preorder B.A.Ts as soon as I can even though every B.A.T so far has gone on some level of discounts and clearance, because I want them to keep making _B.A.T.

Most of these people just remember the sunbow cast, not some niche character only superfans of the vintage toy line are aware even existed, that's why they are annoyed, they aren't the target audience for her, something I think is going to get more frequent as the line goes on and we start getting characters they don't remember in the regular waves.

I just look over the hisstank forum on the news announcement and it's like here. For every person taking issue with it they are getting dozens of replies spelling out either why you want obscure figures for one time backers projects and/or excited for the novelty of it. This is nothing like the /pol/shitstorm that place went into when they introduced the Fem Driver for the Hiss tank.

Go see the HISS campaign and how it got next to zero coverage after a week, because there was nothing more to show off.

By not keeping announcements spread out, that's hundreds and even thousands of potential customers that don't know something is being made and available to buy.
Even if they hit all their goals, it's still lost sales. So Hasbro should do something else if there's nothing more they can add. Sticker or decal sheets are pretty cheap, and call be called bonus goals or something to differentiate it from the more expensive add ons.

Skystrikers was looking a little scary there for awhile and it got the budge with the Cobra set that was throw in to make many of the backers double dip for two of them. And I'm not sure what you are getting at with the vehicles as they didn't do great in stores with situations like HISS Tank and HISS Tank 3 sharing shelf space together in spite of being a couple years apart.

That all said I think a big reason O-ring sets aren't doing great is new real new blood. For every person that wants to buy them there are dozens that look and pass because they have the other 30+ offerings they have done with those figures and vehicles in the past 40+ years. To give context: They have made the HISS tank over 20 times with only 5 molds. This community is mostly old people nearing 40 meaning most have the classic HISS tank and friends a few times over. This isn't even getting into how many times they have reinvented 3 3/4inch main cast members. Hell right now you can get most of the 3 3/4inch cast like Cobra Commander and Duke in their classic look from the new retro or whatever you want to call the post 2008 sets for less than $20 each which isn't far off what they be asking new right now. Meanwhile 6inch is novel for everyone atm so the demand is higher.

I mean I'm sure the mold would be reused for that but the glowing eyes is clearly referencing the episode where Junkyard gets mind controlled by Cobra and turns on Mutt.

So how far back are we going then for mainline releases? The Transfomers Cross over ones are the only ones with O-rings that I can think of for the last decade that wasn't obscure conventions exclusives.

Yes, they were pipeline reveals. If Junkyard is on that box then I think we'll be seeing a render reveal pretty soon.

Given how Scrap Iron turned out, I wouldn't mind an unmasked Snake Eyes.

Rock n Roll looks good too. Was it just the Cover Girl/Falcon/Outback wave that got botched?

Yep, and Hasbro fire the guy responsible so no more of that shit. Just hoping when they restart the retro card backs, those two get a redone head like Gun Ho did.

Thanks, was never that bothered when he got kicked, but if he was the one pushing the caricature heads, I'm kinda glad he's gone. Still need to try that movie Scarlett neck swap.

A few years which is how far back the o-ring releases go. And that's what the original claim was, that the recent o-ring line flopped. All 3 vehicles released in the new o-ring line all sold out and the Skystriker funded which is the opposite of flopping.

I just checked the figure releases for the o-rings and all those are sold out as well.
