This was how I meant it, really.

We wound up stopping by her parents’ for a couple nights, and it turns out they’re near that Target, so I popped in with the intent of buying Bludd. But some shit had hidden it someplace in the store. It wasn’t anywhere near the pegs, or behind anything on shelves, and I didn’t feel like spending an hour trying to pry up the bottom shelf of every aisle trying to find it.

I personally ignore what stores tell me anymore and honestly the way things are going I'm not even going to take toy collecting of any kind seriously right now. I don't think I'm alone in that where threads are slowing down so strongly here, we all can see the writing in the wall and it's 1999 (or 2006) again and we can see the shit hitting the fan very soon, in fact this might be the grand daddy destruction of the collectable toy market as we know it. Due to delays we know know anything that is suppose to come after October this year is a toss up and anything past that they are just telling stores and companies to "expect the worse"

I have to say it really was an impressive feat that Target came through with those figures, they could have just flip the bird and gone about their day but someone either there or at Hasbro was determine to fix that distribution issue and honestly good on them.

Man, the Vipers look so good and have always been one of my favorite Joe figures. It's killing me it's so hard to get these guys right now.

>>9226951
>>9226951
It kinda looks like the group of Troopers were pinned down in a firefight or something and then the Viper comes along, calls em all pussies and just goes hog wild in trying to fight back while they all crap themselves watching.

But in my headcannon, that kind of stuff is what really differentiates Troopers and Vipers. The Troopers are the bottom of the barrel, just there for a paycheck soldiers who need to be pushed and prodded to do anything useful while the Vipers are the ones who come in to a fight ready to kick ass and take names.

>>9227218
After the initial mess with the Cobra Island stuff, Hasbro specifically hired a person to work directly with Target to get more figures out there. It's not just the Joe stuff though, Star Wars, Marvel and Transformer figures all have the same issues with Target with high demand but low distribution. Target always wants the exclusives, but they always fail at actually getting them in stores and then it looks bad on Hasbro. It's a step in the right direction, but there's still a long way to go for these store exclusive releases.

Meanwhile exclusives always show up with the exception of the deluxe Mando and Fett, and always get clearanced.

nta, but these are not leftover stock. It's been 8 months and Hasbro did a new run of Wave 1 and 2 figures. Wave 3 (aka Bludd) popping back up in June was leftover stock

Until scalpers grow a brain and get into better markets that won't be the case for a long time, I've witness nearly 4k USD spent in one shopping trip by customers openly saying they were going to resell the product. Those kinds of ass clowns make it impossible to stock enough to counter them, online is the only sure fire way to restrain them because you can put limits and lock accounts that try to exploit the system. I get some people like hunting in stores but until those types of losers either get a brain and see the better ways to make cash or somehow die, the future is going to be online where they can't bully a clerk to give them the 6 cases in the back.

I've been reading a lot of areas in the UK and US have been becoming supply deserts where the shelves on a lot of entertainment, automotive, and hardware are just emptying out and have no restock date made and this issue is getting larger and larger as it goes on. I'm curious if toys will suffer the same fate soon.

Depending on the product line, it’s already happening with toys in the US.
Hasbro and Mattel boys action figures are the primary brands suffering from this. McFarlane seems to always have plentiful stock of DC, vidya, and 40K whenever I hit any Target, but Hasbro seem to only have board games, TF Cyberverse, and a few stragglers. Mattel has wrestling stuff like the Elite line, Hot Wheels, and Barbie.
The empty pegs are always Star Wars Black Series, GI Joe (Classic and Classified), Marvel Legends (to some extent, minus store exclusives), MOTUO (minus He-Man, Skeletor, and the cats), and Transformers Kingdom.

It's an effect of volume, there are dozens of shipping companies that haul smaller number of content out there. The big two ship billions of products per month while smaller companies might push hundred thousand at best. It's why stores like P-Bandai have had no delays on about 600 products in the last month where as Haslab Sentinel has had 3 delays already: one of them uses the smaller port companies that isn't being effected by this Russian roulette of the global market. The bigger companies could try using the smaller ones but they have to get in line and wait for all the other already paid for freights ship and never mind the fact the time it would take to get billions of inventory here that way would take years or more because those companies are not designed to take those kinds of numbers.

Correct. The team showed produced figures and even did an unboxing of him. It's ready to go. Consider how tight lip they are, seriously try and contact them on it. You'll get the most vague "it's coming just wait please" for their teams. They know the moment they stall backers it's part of the freight ransom in China thousands if not tens of thousands are going to be fighting for refunds.

It's not the speed it's the uncertainty. China is legally allowed to start destroying product next month if these companies don't bend the knew and pay the now 600% shipping increase, that's why people would be quick to try and get their money back if they had no faith the order was ever going to be filled.

Guess Hasbro needs to figure out if it’s cheaper to pay to ship the Sentinels, or take the production cost as a loss and also refund their buyers.
I’m guessing the first thing is probably cheaper, but I can understand why they’re hesitant to be held hostage like this.

Most assume that's why Scarjo is suing Disney is because China blacklisted all the films this year meaning every major blockbuster is going to tank in sales and her profits were tied to the films box office sales.

Online is adjusting to way that it's more of a question can you buy when they go live, but the fact they give hard dates and times and even with Target when things went sideways last month with assholes trying to break the bots for Vipers and Baroness they still offered them the next day and kept announcing when more went live. For me I just don't try stores anymore, I'll pass by for fun when shopping but at this point it's just a question of "when" not "if" I get the figures I want.

Not really, more so when the globe is on the heels of a serious economical down turn, toys are going to be prioritized less and less and digital media goods will fill their place with most. The only good future is what places like Boss Fight, Super7, 4Horsemen and others are doing by making a made to order system, don't be surprised if after this holiday crash in the toy market shrinks down rapidly to just toys aimed at small children exclusively.

what >>9229326 posted is the future for the brands, most stores toy selection will have the preschool stuff and some dolls, as well as the more play focused stuff like the Goo Jit Zu, while anything aimed at a collector market might be more online. I don't think it'll be as fast as a year, even if the predicted global collapse happens this winter I feel it'll take a few years for it to completely dry up, unless we do see a hot war start but then we have a lot more to worry about than when we get out next action figure.

Just walk into a store, explaining that you've received it as a gift and, therefore, do not have a receipt for said item. While they won't give you cash back, they will typically (unless you're already doing this all the time or some other shady shit) let you exchange it for something else.

That head on Roadblock actually looks pretty good, maybe even better, in some ways. Makes him look more rugged. Then again, it also could be that the facial hair has more detail sculpted/painted into it.

Trust me, as someone who was born and lives in the US, you don’t want most products made in the USA. I’m sure there are some exceptions, but if there’s liek a huge “MaDE iN dA uSa” sticker or print on it with a North American flag on it, heh, yeah, you don’t want to waste your money on that product. If it’s just a little print or something like that similar to the small “Made in China/Taiwan/Mexico” then it might be okay. If they’re humble about it, sometimes it’s okay-to-good. If one its (if not its only) “major selling point” is that it’s “mAdE iN dUh UsA” then it’s probably going to be crap, overly expensive crap at that.

I think the facial hair sculpting is part of it, plus that it’s not pouty looking.

So at this point, I feel like the line is great with the exception of two things that would make it amazing:
1: More figures need alt-hands. The bodies are so expressive, but the grip hands don’t lend to that at all.
2: The big solid brick backpacks with a single long peg as a throwback to the toys is a bad idea in a line with heightened realism and larger scale. For one, the pegs are thin and flimsy on the figures I’ve messed with that have backpacks. Second, they just kind of float off the back, add back/top weight to unbalance the figure, and often have little utility.

considering I have those, nothing really, Classifieds is a fun/cute line but I'll always enjoy the original 1/18th line more. That said there are a few that I was really curious how they turn out in Classifieds like Croc Master and Ice Cream Soldier for how unusual they were even for the original lines.

To be honest I'm really shocked that Viper and BBQ were made so early in the line, they were much later in 25th brand. I think the BAT came before the Viper iirc.

Not by much the 25thline was machine gun firing figures at a rate of 20 a quarter counting exclusives. counting drivers, mail ins, and box sets 2008 saw a total of 96 figures and that was without a movie tied to it.

MotU generals are well past the Kevin Smith bitching for over four threads now and they are going there fastest even though there isn't much new content atm(or at least it's comparable to here). Toku General also stay consistent in speed regardless of content, as well as TMNT General as well as many others.

Also this goes farther than just here, Joe communities had a spike April 2020 with this new line and all was going good but as soon as the Target fuck up happen not once, but twice, conversations and communities just took a hard dive and it has never recovered not even after Hasbro Pulse and Target overhauled this year to make sure everyone had a chance at what they missed out on. Communities are back to the snail pace they were pre 2020. I believe if the Target and scalper disaster didn't occur we would be seeing TF general numbers in these threads right now.

Well it doesn't help that they basically go radio silent with news all the time. I know it isn't fair to compare but Marvel Legends has announced 20 figures this month. And they seem to consistently have livestreams. The last time the Joe team announced anything was during that pitiful Yo Joe June and half the announcements were for a kids line that anybody who watches the streams would even give a shit about.

I would settle for digital renderings once a month to just let us know that the line isn't dead again because they were stupid enough to back everything on another shitty movie that was doomed the minute they made the casting decisions.

They're greedy, lazy, uninspired hacks. They think Marvel is a scientific formula that they can replicate, rather than considering different source materials may require DIFFERENT approaches to reach their respective audiences.

Not to mention that they expect to reach the same audiences that Marvel does, even though capeshit is some of the easiest most approachable premise that "anyone" can watch. Terrorism and American military on the other hand are hot-button issues, and there's absolutely no point in trying to sell it to "everyone".

I was talking about the attraction to "cinematic universes", but I could have been clearer. Specifically the method of throwing money at "action director" with no real direction outside of marketability and mass-appeal.

You right tho, Marvel pulled off said "scientific formula" and so the line gets to be the exception until something else pulls off the same thing. Which I hope never happens, I'd rather the cinematic nostalgia fad die than see anything attain success from it again.

They flooded walmarts with so many Rise of Cobra toys that they were selling them for $5 for like a year, while they kept getting the new waves in, and while Hasbro kept making the line better and better.

Honestly I've found that the 4 inch Fortnite figures from Jazwares are surprisingly really good figures. The only thing I don't like is the arm articulation but the character designs and execution are amazing. I would love to get that kind of character design with the articulation and range of movement of the new Stalker and Trooper bucks.

Star Wars general 2016/2017, the summer after TLJ it was 404ing without hitting it's bump limit. There was also Monster High generals that went away after the reboot occurred. And you being here day one doesn't really mean you have look over everything and all threads. The way you are penting yourself it sounds like you just lurk popular brands at best.

I was going to go further but >>9237512 posted. Hell even if he was a tourist from another board you can point to generals from /tv/ like Doctor who, Star Trek, and Star Wars which had serious general dedicated to them till they shit their respective beds, /v/ saw the disappearance of DMC general after the reboot, and /x/ saw an overall dip once they moved from mostly creepy shit to conspiracy theories and succubus larping.

>I was going to go further but >>9237512 posted.
And that was me showing these brands do die from lack of faith/support. The Monster High genes died while new product was on shelves and there was a good reason Shera dolls never held a gen when product was rolling out.

>It feels like he is a newfag trying not to get sussed out.

only if you care about how random people you'll never meet feel about you, really to even claim how long one has been here is a cringe move because there is no way of telling, even what you listed is archived for all to read about, even if it's true it comes off as "my dad work at Nintendo" at best and "I have no other accomplishments at worse.

That said I get why threads can get a bit meta with this stuff but fear not, I doubt /toy/ will be recognizable this fall when everything hits the fan, massive restructuring is going to change the toy communities across the internet like it did in 07/08 and 2013 but likley to an even greater impact.

You want to say I'm lurking, but it doesn't even sound like you go to these threads.

TLJ had a major problem with shit just shelf warming, especially stuff that had already been shelf warming since Rogue Squadron and even TFA. No shit people weren't posting regularly when all that could be found on shelves was rotting toys from two movies ago and very little from the new one.

These complaints about "loss of faith" just sounds like newfag talk, especially for the GI Joe threads, which remained popular even when it barely got support with the TRU/BBTS exclusives. We even started sharing the GI Joe general with other 1:18 lines, until it just became 1:18 general. A lot of the old regs switched to other lines because they regularly got support vs Hasbro only releasing stuff after each summer.

"Lack of faith" just shows that you haven't been here long, which is probably why these threads have become so dramatic from shit being hard to find, despite the fact this had been true even in the 00s and 10s. People were missing out on entire waves of Renegade figures, yet the bitching never got as bad as these threads have been for the past year.

Understandably, the GI Joe General isn't all that popular when there's almost no product seen on the shelves. There's been a slow smattering of posts about shipping updates and packages arriving, but with lines like this live and breath based on physical stores stocking products and that's reflected in our community too.
If i hadn't seen a single movie toy almost a month ago, i wouldn't have known that the movie had come out. What's going on with that shit?? No stock or scalped to hell?

You are all over the place, the conversation was aimed at Classifieds and generals were given that lost their communities even when content was still rolling out showing that lack of new content wasn't the issue, but rather how the communities "lost faith" in the brands and moved on even if new content was rolling out.
>despite the fact this had been true even in the 00s and 10s. People were missing out on entire waves of Renegade figures, yet the bitching never got as bad as these threads have been for the past year.
Correct because the 1/18 line had been going strong for 5 to 10 years by that point, and many here saw Renegade as a side line that many were not interested in collecting. Classifieds wasn't even 3 months old and they had series fuck ups that lasted till almost a year before they got a handle on it.
>but with lines like this live and breath based on physical stores stocking products and that's reflected in our community too.
Target just did a massive roll out of backlog figures and even Baroness and Viper can still be bought as they keep going up from time to time. The brand has gotten a healthy shot in the arm and yet is still declining.

Yeah, online, and it's SLOWLY trickling out to people who weren't even sure their order made it through. But like i said, these lines live and breath by physical stores stocking shit. And physical stores AREN'T, hence there being a lull in these threads.

>many here saw Renegade as a side line that many were not interested in collecting
LOL, since when? MAYBE when it was feared that the style was going to affect the figures, but the line was HUGELY popular here and was extremely hyped, despite most of us missing on so much shit from stores not carrying it or being scalped to hell. Stuff like Renegades Storm Shadow was one of the most talked figures in these threads.

To even compare Classifieds with how hard it was to get Renegades and PoC figures is ridiculous. Remember when vehicles were seemingly not even carried and went directly to outlets that aren't even found in some regions?
Again, we went through waaay more shit, and the whining and crying wasn't even half that it is today.

So where were you? Not here on /toy/.

Civil thing would be just to present your case without the name calling, just makes you come off emotional over the discussion.

Why is Marvel Legends and Star Wars holding up? They are doing just as bad in stores and TF general makes it sound like they too can't find anything unless they order online. Also MotU is having very robust threads when their lines are hard to find in the wild if at all.

ive been able to find every ML wave and each figure in various stores. Star Wars? A little harder to find the popular characters, but i've seen almost every wave. GI Joes? Jack shit for months and the last time i saw one on the shelves was a single movie figure over a month ago.
Makes me question if they're even stocking GI Joes. I mean, last year, my targets didn't even have a single peg labled for GI Joes despite the line supposedly being carried.

> some had passion over this
Passion is fine, but you continue ignore the fact that all these lines are only as popular as the support they get. It's not about "faith" or "passion" because even when GI Joe was dying in the mid10s, with almost nothing but redecos and poor molds, we still posted.
AGain, you tried to claim that SW had "lost faith", but that was clearly bullshit, since you needed to ignore or weren't even aware of how stores were inundated with shelf warmers for literally years. this was constantly brought up in the SWGs.

>One or two anons

all you are telling me is you have lost this debate because it's name calling and accusations of "being there" rather than staying at the core which is this: Classifieds is going down hard and it's not from lack of content,and/or how it's being offered it's from horrid mismanagement from Hasbro.

Got my 5th this morning. Ship to store has been active since yesterday but kept saying out of stock. Just keep trying. I placed another order about 10 mins later and went through, got the email, then got canceled since I used the same billing adress. 5 is all I wanted anyway.

There was a 6" Fortnite figure with a look very similar to a skinny Big Boa. If you can find him cheap the head may work for a custom like this. It's not exact mind you, but it does give off the same kind of vibes. And even if it don't work, the figure would still be a good Cobra mook.

Yea, that dude. Even without mods he could pass for an updated version of Big Boa, though he's admittedly less bit. He's a good figure, my only complaint about him is the god awful finger joints, but that's a problem with the whole line and throwing a pair of boxing gloves on him would essentially fix that anyway.

Yea I was thinking of getting that dude for his head. I haven't come across a lot of third party Joe stuff that isn't weapons or has to be 3D printed yourself so I wasn't sure how else I'd do the head. Just wasn't sure how it would look or fit on the bigger Classified body.

Cream Shadow came in today. I'm definitely going to repaint him to be white. I thought the color would be closer to what was used on the Amazon Storm Shadow which I could live with but it's definitely not. Looks closer to old jizz. Still don't know why they couldn't throw in a calf swivel on these ones. Not like it would break up the sculpt more than any other cuts do.

Exclusives means stores will order more products, which should benefit everyone.
And since troopers are so generic, they could always re-release them anyway.

Problem here is that stores couldn't meet demand and there seems to be a problem with stock somewhere in the supply chain.

Walmart's toy aisle was almost empty, but there was a single Stalker in a banged up package. Luckily he was the only one I wanted from this wave because he's the only one I didn't already basically have in older figures.

This guy is 10/10. For less than $13 he is a crazy good deal. New thigh cuts, boot cuts, great ankles, wrists, deep elbows and knees, weapon storage, and his sculpt and paint are fantastic.

This is the only figure I've bought from this line and only the second time I've ever seen them in person, do all of them have new and improved articulation like this?

Rumor has it that the Target executive who negotiated the deal for what became Cobra Island, demanded A-List characters being only available at Target. Also, why a Heavy Duty figure was rebranded Roadblock as said executive wanted Roadblock to be exclusive too but was already earmarked for the main retail line.

Hasbro owns the Marvel series outright but won't make this version of Firefly for several reasons:

1 Too much new tooling to make

2. Part of the Battle Corps soft relaunch from the early 90s that involved putting all of the Joes in bright neon colors

3. This version of Firefly is SUPER fucking unpopular, even Hama shitted on the outfit by having Storm Shadow disparage it.

>>9244617
Firefly was ALWAYS supposed to be a ninja adjacent character. He was always supposed to be the one who killed Storm Shadow's uncle and framed him, but Hasbro hates Firefly and demanded Zartan be the killer because he was "more popular".

Ironically, Hama killed Firefly off after being barred from his original plans, but then was ordered to resurrect him so that they could shill this new version of Firefly in the comics. Hama refused to do it unless he was allowed to make Firefly the "killer", though he had to retcon shit so that it was revealed that Firefly manipulated CC into hiring Zartan instead of him to do the deed.

Cobra Commander is literally just the 25th anniversary edition except they made the hip holster on the left leg larger and can hold a gun. Still uses metal ball joints for the legs, and no additional articulation. Pass on it.
Duke might be the worst toy ever because it's the 25th but they actually reduced the total articulation by sticking awful rubber forearms on that have no wrist swivel or the mid forearm swivel the 25th had. They pose really bad. His 1911 is also too long it can't actually stay inside his hip holster, because it was molded for a smaller gun used back in 2008. And the head is just... Abysmal. Hard pass.
The worst part about both of them is because they did nothing to theold itself, they are about 1/3 inch under scale next to the new cobra trooper and Stalker mold. Very disappointing.

>This version of Firefly is SUPER fucking unpopular,
I wouldn't say that's fair. It's divisive, there are people who really hate that costume, and Firefly being the Faceless Master, but there are people who love it as well. There are at least a few of us around here that would love a new figure of that Firefly costume.

hot water to expand the plastic. Shake him dry, and try to make sure he's immobile so no pegs snap off, you just want to get the water out from inside it.
Then freeze him to contract the plastic. Take him out like an hour or two and don't move the limbs, since the plastic will be brittle when cold.

If there was debris or paint impeding the motion, this would also free it up.

Dip in hot water and pull the leg of the ball joint. Trim off some of the bumps on the ball peg. NOT ALL as you still want it to have some resistance. Reheat leg and pop it back on. Cool it under cold tap and see if it's good. If not, repeat, just make sure to keep some of the bumps.

Weren’t Stalker and Snake-eyes on the same body the last time they were made? Would be nice if they’d redo Snake-eyes with the tilt ankles.

For that matter, who were the characters on that body before? I remember Beachhead, Stalker, Snake-eyes, and Steel Brigade, but I’m sure there were others on the same head-to-toe body.

I imagine the costs to get that new tooling will mean they will try to get as much mileage as possible out of the molds. I expect to see as many new characters made with this new buck and the new trooper buck as possible. Which is fine with me, these are the best GI Joes Hasbro has made so far.
