Full Force News Burst youtube has a pic of G.I. Joe Retro Wave 2: v1 style Roadblock, v1 style Scarlett, Destro.

Never did find Retro Wave 1 in Walmart stores. Pre-order of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow yet to ship.

Looks like Scarlett is not a reissue from what they did for 25th/30th/50th, could be better..

Some clearer pics of the new wave of small joes, Still not convinced of Scarlett's face, Roadblock has the beard from the classified design.

Roadblock's face looks like that guy from Agents of SHIELD who would talk to Daisy and start his sentences with "Girl..."

I prefer the v2 Roadblock with white t-shirt under the green vest.

Full Force podcast just reported sightings of AWE striker and Wave 2 in stores.

I like the blockier Destro face from v29, but looks a bit like old man Destro similar to FOX X-Men Apocalypse.

I did see on eBay what looked like a custom alternate blocky Destro head for GI Joe Classified. Expensive though.

Retro Wave 2 Scarlett looks pudgy. The head is nowhere as good as the Classified head.

I've been thinking about trying to find a silicone o-ring to fix my original G.I. Joes 3.75" but now I'm thinking about either trying to make some 3D printed half oval sphere with loop for T-bar hook or chain to connect the torso to the T-bar hips instead. Maybe some small washer + bent hairpin. Paper clip. I just don't like the idea of replacing o-ring then it breaks in less than a year like I've seen reported.

I was hoping Scarlett would look better.

I was hoping Scarlett would look better.

The Walmart Retro Wave 2 Scarlett face looks very timid, but isn't she supposed to be very fearless and capable?

The Roadblock looks like NBA proportions with long legs. The face looks mean unlike the original v2.

Again saw several combined Wave 1 and Target Cobra Island Roadblocks on the pegs at the same store. No one wants him it seems. No other characters in stock.

Yeah, he is not that well received, at least the 3 3'4' has a proper machine gun instead of the sci fi gun.

Amazon as seller and shipper has Marvel Legends Archangel for $29.99. I thought this was old, and I'm surprised it's still available now or available again.

I'm noticing Target dropping the price of Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse wave like $4 or so off. Weird because I'm used to seeing them keep old stale stuff on pegs for a long time.

 

[GSP_37]

I saw a sharper pic of the G.I. Joe Retro Wave 2 on HISStank forum and Roadblock's face looks less mean and a lot more like Classified Wave 1. Can't tell if that was from a different Photoreal paintjob or different face sculpt.

Walmart exclusive G.I. Joe Retro Collection Snake Eyes is up for pre-order again... for now, but no Storm Shadow or H.I.S.S. tank.

Saw combined 3 ML Moon Knights at 2 diff Walgreens, but no Iron Man Silver Centurion.

Saw huge ML Age of Apocalypse Apocalypse at Target. Surprised. Also had Rhodey classic War Machine.

Damn, those are nice! I’ll probably get the whole set. The comic was pretty good but it turned generic in the end. The design by Capullo was cool. Can’t wait to see Bane.

A while back I passed on ML FOX Cable with the actor's face, but now I'm wondering if it would make a decent Venom Snake or if Crimson Dynamo BAF Winter Soldier would.

Target had like at least one full case of Star Wars TVC Clone Wars Obi, Anakin, Maul, Ewok, as well as S.H. Figuarts Kaioken Goku (several copies). If Target is going to carry SHF DBZ regularly, I'll look forward to upcoming releases. Saiyan Raised on Earth & Kaioken just didn't motivate a purchase. I need SSJ Future Trunks or Vegeta.

First thing in the morning I saw on the internet Star Wars Black Series credit version which are like re-paints of Mando v1, Cara, IG-11, Death Stormtrooper, etc. with artsy paint to mimick the stylized images from the Mando end credits. Maybe one exclusive to each store. Heavy Mando is like $5 cheaper than the normal one I pre-ordered long ago (EDIT: actually $5 more expensive and on Best Buy pre-order NOW!), and might be more nicely colored like Kenner Boba Fett forearms. I think each one comes with a larger than 6" scale beskar credit rectangle. Also saw some mention of some new release each Monday after each Mando Season 2 episode.

I think yesterday I saw Amazon has Marvel Vintage Doctor Doom pre-order, first time I saw it there and assumed it was sold out super fast when first revealed.

I think I also saw the UFC Jazwares figures are re-starting but using a 6.5-7.5" scale starting with Nunes, Conor, Israel as Wave 1.

This morning's Hasbropulse sneak peek was only less than 15 min of Hero Quest Haslab pitch. Boo. I woke up early for nothing. Seems like only 5k+ live viewers, and many chatting no more store exclusives.

 

[GSP_37]

Walmart.com has a 3rd party scalper trying to sell G.I. Joe Retro Snake Eyes for $79.99 and Storm Shadow for $49.99. Regular price is $12.99 each.
