Is the Snake Eyes: Alpha Commando a good figure to make a lazy custom of Hunk from RE or some sort of faceless soldier if I add a helmet to the commando head? I'm new the 1/12 scale and I'd like recommendations for figures that fit the "modern warfare" aesthetics.

>>9861946 noted, if they are not careful this line is going to implode in on itself like a dying star. We have a total of 51 listed items with 30 of them being Classified. To give context the most Marvel Legends has had has been under 25 items at any one time. This is not counting the BAT/AV wave nor the Spirit/SS/Officer wave either which many still have never found nor seen. Compound this with a coming rescission and we should sooner hope they just stop announcing new stuff as their is serious risk some of these items just might not get made at all.

Marketing bit before the movie showing dropped that there would be around 100 classified figures released by the end of 2023. If plans haven't changed, that means there are around 30 figures they haven't even teased yet, even if a bunch of them are going to be repaints.

>>9869224 Technically no, but I got to watch some of it as I can only assume they started it late as when we went to get seats for Top Gun early it was still playing in the theater. Didn't get to finish however as it switch over to that preview program they run before a film started and I'm sure the 4 or so people that left were pissed both at it ending early and how shitty the quality was (they were playing the film at 4:3 ratio at low quality).
Also I'm assuming most across the country didn't attend in general. There is next to no new media doing well in the market and the animated Joe movie was panned badly back then and to my knowledge never warm up to the fans like the Transformers film did. iirc The Joe movie wasn't even in theaters back in the day due to how bad Transformers so it's just this strange market stunt that was doomed to fail. Would have been in their better interest to just take the opening of the film and then play some of the best episodes of the TV show, would have been a better call.

But killing the ME retro line after basically releasing no figures then flooding shelves with troopers and stalkers and releasing the hiss tank TWICE, and then re releasing all the cobra island figures EXCEPT major bludd just leaves me frustrated and confused as to wtf is going on. We used to daydream about hopes for future figures and now we just wait for 2023.

For better or worse the Joe brand has never had one outstanding vehicle for the Joe's that sticks in everyone's mind like HISS tank.

On one hand, if it gets backed in a single day then that's fantastic and tells Hasbro that vehicles for this line are in demand and can be supported. On the other, I fear that it may mean anything bigger than a motorcycle is going to wind up being HasLab only projects and that kind of sucks because they could offer these at retail/fan channel sites.

Granted what still 'holds up' is extremely subjective, especially between the cartoon vs. the comic fans, but for myself I would have preferred Mindbender in a labcoat and Tomax/Xamot in business suits, but for guys who want the classic versions? More power to ya.

There's still three other areas we haven't seen anything for. There's some peg holes near the gun turret for something we haven't seen. We've also been told that the turret will be compatible with blast effects, and we've been told the tank will be able to tow something.

>>9881022 The short of it is that people are generally pissed that items that should cost $150 in stores are instead marked up to $300 as a Kickstarter, because Hasbro has proved this is a viable model for them and they can skip the hassle of convincing Walmart to carry items like this.
In addition, the tiers are supposed to be extra stuff to justify the price a bit. But for most HasLabs, it’s usually stuff that should have been included in the first place. I think the Sentinel was largely the best, in that even if zero tiers had been unlocked, we still would’ve gotten a complete toy. Vs. Rancor and Galactus , where an arguably crucial figure (Rancor keeper and silver surfer, respectively) are locked behind tiers.
HISS Tank always included the driver thankfully, but stuff like tread covers and a cockpit hatch being tier unlocks feels a little stingy. But it is a vehicle so personally I’m not sure what else could have been the tiers. I guess more figures, but I have mixed feelings on that, since locking a figure people want behind a $300 Kickstarter is pretty lame. HasLabs as a whole are largely motivated by FOMO, another reason not to like them in general.

>>9881817 I suppose you're right. I had to look up when Techno Viper came out, and it turns out it released at least a year before the OG Alley Viper. I just think that over the years, Alley Viper has had dozens of different incarnations and repaints, whereas I feel like Techno Viper is pretty much associated with the one look. Alley Viper they could repaint countless times and would look like his various incarnations throughout the years.

>>9884342 >Destro is one of the most popular villains, so much so that he was the FIRST Cobra released While Destro is popular Hasbro is really bad about dragging out figures people badly want into later waves, look at Lightning Collection, Legends and Black Series and seeing all the waves Classified is no different with high demand figures like Alley Viper, BAT, and Stalker, being teased since day 1 but just now rolling out over a year into the line, while lesser ones rolled out sooner like Red Ninja,"Arctic"Storm Shadow and Breaker. Again Destro is a big deal, easily seen as the Trinity of the names people think of with Cobra, but I don't think he was first picked because he was the highest demand, otherwise he would have been rebundled in more revision waves like they did with Cobra Commader (which imo was way to many, people like the guy, but not four wave revisions and two repaints worth) rather than just the two (the OG wave and then the refresher wave that put the ring on his head). There is also the fact the PD Destro is still reasonable to get two years later while Baby Blue CC from last year still sells out instantly and is always nearing or over $100 even after a 4th(5th?) re-release on pulse.
I get this is nitpicking but Hasbro is so seedy with stuff I feel like it should always be pointed out when they pull this kind of crap.
