>Tan? It was suppose to be yellow/gold.
The artwork has them in gold, but then I guess they figured if they were going to make all belts and pouches accessories in the same color they could make them kinda desert tan. The renders were kinda vague and the promo pics showed them tan.

I've actually found the horizontal hinges more practical for shouldering weapons, chicken wing elbow aside, than vertical ones when I actually want to have the figure aim down the sights. As for the belts, if they aren't molded on they should slide off easy enough. You may have to cut them or pop the arms, but they look like they can just slide up and off.

Shipwreck: basically Jack Nicholson as a navy midshipman. He's Lady Jaye's BFF in the cartoon, but with none of the simping. He's the second most important male Joe in the cartoon, behind only Duke and the one who has actual personality.

Eels/Snow Serpents: Evil Cobra frogmen/Navy Seals. Snow Serpents are Eels who do winter wetworks operations. Both are army builders but you can get away with only having one Eel since one of them ended up getting a name/leadership role for The Plague (Gillotine).

Torpedo: First GI Joe Navy Seal/frogman, though Wet Suit is infinitely more popular and well known. Sadly, because Wetsuit has a TON of parts that can't be recycled, Torpedo keeps getting made more often than Wetsuit. He's got no real backstory save for the the fact that he's a vague islander ethnic type.

Falcon: Duke's troublemaker half-brother, conceived when Duke's step dad fucked Duke's mom. Basically an asshole with a heart of gold and exists to be a pain in Duke's ass and reminder how much his step-dad hated him since Falcon got favored over Duke, giving Duke a complex he hides from everyone, where he resents Falcon's existence and how he and his dad stole Duke's mom from him (and if you believe certain lore, Falcon's dad being directly responsible for sending Duke's dad to his death while on a mission).

Scrap Iron: a character who's a proto-Iron Grenadier character on Destro's payroll who makes missile deployers. Depending on the lore, he's a cold blooded murderer who killed Ripcord's girlfriend, one of Storm Shadow/Snake Eye's ninja masters, and maimed Cobra Commander's son (the comics) or a conniving sniveling suck-up who Cobra Commander has to pay out the ass to be his only friend and help him try and stop the creation of Serpentor (cartoon).

Cover Girl: former fashion model who was radicalized by the Iran Hostage crisis to join the military and became a tank/vehicle driver.

Range Viper: basically the edgelord Cobra Vipers, they basically are saboteurs sent into hostile territories to cause havoc and live/survive off the land, up to and including cannibalism.

Tele-Viper: basically communications officers for Cobra

Big Ben: Literal who British GI Joe agent with no real personality traits.

Chuckles: Military Police Officer who dresses in Hawaiian shirts and is constantly getting into off the books adventures doing detective work side hustles.

Wild Bill: helicopter pilot who's a good old boy southerner with a huge heart of gold.

Haven't opened it yet but retro snake eyes looks good. Hits the commando feel for me which is an aspect of se I enjoy the most. Card wasn't as bent as the retro cg but it's my snake eyes so I'm opening it.

I'll just rant quickly about how I think snake eyes is a much more compelling figure than the silent ninja guy they portray him as. I get the whole ninja rivalry and such but snake was in the shit with stalker, I'll take a firefly vs snake eyes way more enthusiastically than yet another ninja fight with storm shadow.

One of the things that made Ninja so effective is that they were willing to do anything and use any tool to get the job done. As such, Snake Eyes being more Commando with Ninja training always made more sense to me then him being more "Ninja with a gun". A good Ninja would make the most of having access to modern tactical gear, suppressed sub machine guns, hand held explosives and all those other modern conveniences, they wouldn't go running around in pajamas bringing swords to gun fights.

It also speaks to his character as he's not a native asian and thus doesn't have that distinct connection to tradition and the familial link to their culture. He's a soldier, who was trained as a Ninja, and uses said training as just another tool in his arsenal to be a better soldier.

Finally got my hands on Scrap-Iron today at Wal-Mart!

I didn't really care for the missile drone when I first saw pictures of it, but having it in hand has totally changed my mind and I really love it.

As for Scrap-Iron; his unmasked face reminds me of pro-wrester Dasher Hatfield/Avery Good. Also, in something I've been waiting eons for, his gloved hands fit Dusty perfectly so I swapped them out to give Dusty gloved hands and Scrap-Iron bare hands.

That said, I have to wonder how much longer I'll have to wait until Pulse charges me for Chuckles and I get my blonde Hawaiian clad Private Eye/Military Police officer.

So I got my Cobra Commanders from Aliexpress today. Overall my first impressions are good, albeit they have some slight QC issues which I can correct myself. There's a little helmet warp (can be fixed with hot water), and Regal CC had a sprue stub that I had to shave off. Regal CC seems to have more QC issues overall, and has left foot has a little wear on the gold paint. Both figures could use a drop of floor polish on their left hip, and they both have a defect on their right wrist peg well. The peg doesn't push in all the way and is loose, although I can fix this by trimming the peg and building it up with superglue and baking soda, like I did when I was making my Mr. T figure.

As per usual with Aliexpress bag shipping, the box for Regal CC was really beat up, although Serpent Supreme CC's box is in pretty good shape. My overall impression is that these are more likely to be QC rejects rather than knockoffs because everything seems to be Hasbro quality and nothing seems to be off with the packaging. I would definitely recommend ordering, just be aware you might have to fix a few things.

I'd say they're definite bootlegs, at least the Regal CC is, because his hands are the wrong color. They're supposed to be the same darker blue of his gauntlets and the other darker blues throughout his outfit. Not the light blue.

How is the Cobra Viper Officer and Viper three pack? I am new to the line and thought this would be a good way to build up some troops and weapons. I have heard there are some QC issues with the skin tones, but that wouldn't bother me too much since the armor covers it up anyway. I know it's an older mold too from around the start of the line.

don't pay outrageous prices and prices will go down naturally

Recently bought a few lots of army builders for less than $80, where it came out to ~$10-15 per figure.

I've also made a offer for various singles where i paid <$20 shipped for most of them.

What are you looking at anyway? There's some shit i haven't bought anything of because prices are too high, like Range Vipers and orange Alley Vipers. The Cobra Troopers with the riot shields are a little high right now but it's a lot less than what it was a year ago. Would have bought some last month for ~$20 if SDCC wasn't around the corner.

I think you just need to patrol eBay for a month or two to catch any good deals.

Technically Chuckles is a Don Johnson/Miami Vice parody, at least visually.

Which is funny as Don Johnson voiced Falcon in the GI Joe movie, which also had Chuckles as a literal mute even though he's supposed to be a loud mouth charming SOB per his file card and his portrayal in the comics.

To get corporate welfare you have to churn out products featuring minorities and women and faggots; hence why Cobra suddenly has an influx of black henchmen and why Roadblock got four-five figures in a span of a couple of years.

If you can get it on sale, it's literally a perfect squad-in-a-box. Vipers are just great figures, and they have enough removable parts to make each one a bit distinct while still being uniform. They also have a fantastic array of weapons and blast effects. If you don't have many other Joes and want a team of generic bad guy soldiers, these are a great set, especially if bought at a discount.

Not the most impressive figure ever, and his colors are kinda questionable....but I'm always down for new characters. If I ever manage to get a NF Big Ben and Shooter, they'd make a nice little Spec Ops team.

>>10593398
.....I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not. G.I. Joe has had various minorities in it's ranks since the line came out. Blacks, hispanics, women and gays were all a part of the original 12" line and that inclusive ideology is what helped sell the revamped ARAH line in the 80s. G.I Joe didn't "just become woke", it helped pioneer inclusion in the toy box and American culture at large.

Also, Cobra is blatantly Capitalists, the entire reason they have anyone working for em is canonically good pay and good benefits.

I was able to just barely justify spending $120 on Serpentor because he does come with the Air Chariot, it was "only" $40 more than retail, and I bought him as a birthday gift for myself. I can't justify dropping that much on Mindbender though.

As an aside, the Pulse Exclusive version of Zartan came with way better accessories than the regular version, and he had a more striking color scheme. Some people have said the color change paint on him chipped off easily but I don't know if that's accurate or not. Point is it's annoying when Hasbro puts so much more love and care into the exclusives that they barely put out any stock of.

Ace makes it sound like Super7 actually purchased the license from Hasbro and now owns it as opposed to just being able to make product for that license which is still under Hasbro's control like they do for G.I.Joe, Transformers and Power Rangers.

Shipwreck was the main character for so many episodes of 80s GI Joe and he's a latino.
In the comics, Stalker was the leading character for almost every important storyline and he's obviously black.

Meanwhile Breaker is a middle aged Ray Stevens lookalike in the cartoon and original toy, but his comic counterpart is young (in his early 20s) and either clean shaven or just has light stubble.

Not that surprising since only a couple of characters of the Original 13 had heads specifically sculpted for them. Only Stalker, Snake-Eyes and Scarlett have unique heads, everyone else shares one of three head molds painted in different ways. And some like Grunt have the dreaded giant inflated pinhead that gives them a giant forehead.

Wouldn't know "Hector" is greek, because it's a super popular name with hispanics.
It's pretty obvious Shipwreck is supposed to be hispanic based on where he was born and his name, even if he sounds like Jack Nicholson.

Honestly I think Super7 is a good fit for Mask since it was a Kenner brand, and Super 7 does Kenner-style toys (and a lot better than Hasbro, for that matter). If we get grown-up sized vehicles from the classic line from Ramen with the matching 1/18 figures from Super 7 I think a lot of people are going to be collecting MASK for the first time.

When I was a kid reruns of the show were always on TV and then I was always frustrated that the stores didn't have the toys, not realizing that the show had been canceled like 5 years before I started watching and all that stuff was long gone. I was at an older kid's house once though and he had the semi truck from the line and I remember thinking it was awesome. I can definitely see myself getting invested in a new line.

Why?

Honestly just don't think it'd ever happen, but as you've shown, you can just build Joes out of Mega's existing figures anyway, especially the CoD stuff. That being said, I'd imagine there'd be fucking stupid amounts of money to be made by both sides, because I can see people army building the fuck out troopers since the small size and detail makes building armies of these guys by the hundreds, if not thousands perfect, especially considering the people who army build LEGO Stormtroopers and shit.

Hasbro completely fumbled the Kre-O line on all fronts. GI Joes could have been cool, but the stylized shitty look of the minifigures just killed the look of any human figures. The blocky shapes and proportions only really worked for the Transformer minifigures.

Also re-using a bunch of the Battleship designs which were on forever clearance gutted what people would buy to expand their armies. The first year of TF which dropped with Battleship hit heavy discount, too. The toys stressed way too easily and as you said, very blocky. Soon Battleship and GI Joe were at shops like Tuesday Morning for cheap as TRU failed.

I have seen a lot of MEGA IS SHIT! comments come out of this suggestion. I think they did really well with Masters of the Universe and their only failure there was not to produce enough figures to satisfy the fans.
I think they could also make "masterbuilds" of either the P.I.T.T. or Terrordrome.
I don't think it will ever happen as it's just one of those things that makes too much sense.
Mega is also imploding (again) as they have lost a ton of licenses and apparently threw the Alien license away.

I was really into their Destiny line, but kinda walked away after they dropped that. I'd pick up a Halo set every now and then, but never played much of the games.

Kinda sucked that some of their lines the figures weren't totally compatible. Mega was probably more known for the figures and customization than the actual building sets, though, but their bigass sets were really nice and on par with LEGO's huge sets. I had a couple of those gigantic dropships from Destiny, and they were great to build.

Also think Mega got a bad rap because maybe 20+ years ago they pretty much were "Bootlego" but they really came into their own once they got licenses like CoD and Halo, and some other FPS licenses. They did have a lot of interesting IPs at one time or another, even if just on their random minifigure lines.

GI Joe would have been right at home in Mega.

The Eel is pretty cool. Harpoon gun was slightly bent, but not as badly as I was expecting it would be. The backpack has neat little jets on the bottom that have ports for effect pieces, though he of course doesn't come with any and I don't know of any in the line (or in general) that would look right for underwater propulsion. I'm thinking of displaying him horizontally with a stand to make him look a little less ungainly in his flippers.
Also it's a troop builder that's an exclusive release and sold out immediately and unlike most Amazon exclusive figures it hasn't restocked. It's so fucking retarded that Hasbro doesn't do this shit smarter and release the Eel wide, but make an "officer" variant or whatever to be the exclusive.

They actually did a Tiger Force Footloose which I ended up getting, though mainly for the head to be used in customs as Footloose used the rarely used Claymore mustache head; as Hasbro lazily used a god-awful ugly as sin mustache head for just about every non-hat wearing Mustachioed Joe they and the fan club put out.

So given how they fucked up the release of the Crimson Guardsmen (the regular release had shitty production run/limited distribution and the retro-card has been delayed for so fucking long and is only available at Walmart, assuming they even stock due to how previous retro waves are still hogging shelf space), how long until we get a multi-pack of Crimson Guardsmen?

In the US some of these figs are store chain exclusive and aren't stocked on Pulse. Which must suck ass. Unfortunately our stocks of these figures are usually very low. I literally didn't have time to order 3 Ranger Vipers the last time they were in stock on Pulse, that's how fast they sold.

Man, I remember an old GI Joe cartoon where some scientist implants some secret plans into Shipwreck's mind before he dies that can only be accessed by some secret password. Shipwreck gets captured and wakes in a hospital after a head injury. He's in this Truman Show style island where he has a wife and kid and the place is run by cobra. He's living a normal life until he finds out the place is a farce and ran by Cobra, all of the people on the island are some weird type of cloned mud people that cobra made. The sad thing is that he is actually happy enjoying his life and loves his wife and daughter. At the end he's begging for his daughter to be real and she just melts into a pile of goop.

I don't know why new collectors are into o-ring figures. Is it an an attempt to capture the feeling of being there - to feel the nostalgia or what?
And I'm surprised at the sheer numbers of collectors from that period who are supporting these.
I wasn't really buying figures at this time and wasn't a big fan. When I did get into collecting - which was the same time I got into photography after about 10 years I wanted the more poseable figures. - is it ALL some kind of nostalgia?
I legitimately want to understand.

Nor do I anon. Cut my hours this month but I'm just fine with one figure since I'm not a troop builder, just focused on squads and how the figures can aii kinda tie together.

Anyway my cheap opinion on the games is that I'm just sick of pixel art, I'm a /vr/ trooper and pixel art now is just cheap lazy tripe.

As a long time fan it has to do with the larger character selection with new figures still being produced, both via kickstarter and Hasbro. Not to mention Hasbro killing modern era. However their new Zarana with Thundermachine Soundwave has me hyped, on account of her new sculpt(the Sunbow Cobra Commander and Duke were nice too). So I'm getting back into o-ring hard.

I don't like O-ring because it brings back too many memories of bisected Joes, broken crotches, and snapped thumbs. The new plastic is apparently softer and gummier so it's at least less likely to break, although anything made out of rubber is eventually going to dry out and crack because rubber never lasts.

Though to be fair, it's at least possible to repair a bisected GI Joe without too much fuss. When classic He-Man figures break, the rubber T-joint is a nightmare to replace and the process comes with a high risk of damaging the plastic, which is why the fans jumped on the Origins line as a replacement.

I think the 25A-50A lines for GI Joe were great. They were a little more fiddly and more adult coolector focused than the 2000s O-Ring line but they looked so much better and had so much more posability. I thought they were just the right balance between the past and the present and I can't get enough of them, and sadly, Hasbro has abandoned 25A completely after they fucked up the (not retro) Retro Collection.

And there aren't that many collectors for it, hence almost every self supporting 1:18 line being modern style engineering.

I collect both modern and o-ring, with some Classified too. But I kind of prefer o-ring for simplicity. There's so much webgear, sheaths and holsters. It's still cool, but when I'm posing a bunch of dudes on a vehicle and drop my 3rd silencer/goggles/knife somewhere in the vehicle, it makes me want to just put them away in their bags and do something else. I still mess around with my modern figs of course, but the old stuff's just a little easier most of the time.

The level of cope and denial from older collectors has been quite tasty as the figures continue to climb in value and demand, now easily going for $200+ carded for both the Mega Viper and Cyber Viper. Loose is still $100+ for each. And they also happen to be fun figures that serve as minions for Dr. Mindbender, so why wouldn't you want them?

I have some of the original Star Wars figures that's sentimental as well - but sure wouldn't be buying figures with such limited articulation now. I may pick up some stuff (like JEM) to fill in the crowds. But not center stage.

I think the Walmart retro line was unanimously liked, but as usual they bungled somewhere with Stalkers, Grunts, Lady Jayes and Dukes swarming shelves with everyone crying for a second chance at Scarlett and Destro. At least the troopers seemed fairly plentiful for a change. I liked the vehicles, but I can't say if they sold well.

But I do think he was talking about having the o-ring stuff at retail(and less $50 a 2-pack), because they've been locked to Hasbro's online store in spite of those 5poa figures sitting in Target at $15 a pop for the last 5 years or so. I'll buy modern, I'll buy o-ring, I would like to buy them in a store. I won't buy 5poa, not at that price anyway.

The issue with the Wal-Mart 3.75 retro line is that it wasn't what people fucking wanted.

Most fucking fans, realizing that this was going to be the last gasp for the modern line, wanted the retro line to be Hasbro fucking giving collectors a bone and giving them new non-Sub Club/Convention versions of figures needed to wrap up the line: Dial Tone, Zaranna, Jinx, Iceberg, Metalhead, and Captain Gridiron.

Instead, we got the same old bullshit; recycled figures and garrish looking figures (Duke I'm looking at you) figures that you could still get dirt cheap and most of which were from the recent 50th Anniversary packs.

The only people who might find the 3.75 appealing are new fans who never bought any GI Joe figures in the last 15-16 years.

1986 was Joe's most popular year, and it introduced lots of sci-fi and neon... including a neon guy named Sci-Fi. Dr.Mindbender and the B.A.T. were also introduced that year, along with the Viper and Serpentor, all of which are extremely popular. And then the second most popular year was '93, which was all neon and sci-fi.

>>10607675
Reaction isn't o-ring though. Every other franchise gets a vintage line at retail, except G.I. Joe. For some reason they stuck those online in very expensive sets, including a Haslab Skystriker that nobody asked for, and made other oddball decisions, such as advertising version 2 Snake-Eyes in artwork, reissuing instead version 1, but with ninja gear. As for the walmart line, they made far too many bad decisions and seemed to be low priority with no solid direction and bad figure choices for reissues.

This too. I wanted them to give us a few updates on essential characters, and to produce a few retail versions of characters who were out of reach for most collectors, and maybe re-release rare army builders like the Range Viper, or a new Night Creeper and classic colored Alley Viper.

The cartoon ended in '86, and is the likely culprit. By this line of reasoning '85 and '84 were flops, since they weren't as popular as '93 or '86. The line was successful, more or less until Hasbro downsized by cancelling Battle Corps Rangers in favor of appeasing the new adult collectors with the Sgt Savage line following their acquiring the Star Wars license, and then later giving their Kenner team the brand, who ended up producing, G.I. JOE Extreme. It's a long standing myth by older Joe collectors that 90's Joe was unpopular and killed the line, when it was Hasbro buying Kenner and the license for Star Wars that ultimately killed the vintage line.
