Full Force News Burst podcast suggests upcoming 6" GI Joe:

Major Blood
Zartan
Flint
Lady Jaye
BBQ

A $39 Snake Eyes w/motorcycle.

Looks like they have been skipping the army builders. I really expected them to have one per wave with how many and popular they are (cobra trooper, viper, bat, crimson guard, eel, alley viper, night viper, iron grenadier, tele viper, snow serpent, etc.) and those are like the tip of the Iceber just from the first 5 years, not counting female version or that Harbro liked to mix colors to create things like officers, python patrol, night watch or crimson versions.

G.I. Joe would make an awesome M.M.O. if done properly.

GI Joe page added a bunch of profiles to their official page, teasing/revealing which characters can be made in totoys next .

They used old character art for the new revealed character (Bats, Vipers use art from their vintage file card) other characters have art from the modern comic books (Rock and Roll) , so they probably will not look like that if they are made in to figures .

I'm kinda itching to order a HG Origins green Zaku II with the anti-ship rifle. Kinda looks better than the Char Zaku II. I like the pastel green, which would go well with my blue Gouf.

How many duplicates do you need to qualify for an army?

I have a Fruit Loops mail away crude Han Solo Stormtrooper, a TVC Han Stormtrooper, and a TVC Luke Stormtrooper on the way. I kinda wanted the dirty Remnant Stormtrooper from Mandalorian, but kinda hard to find online.

I dunno. I usually get just one or 2 (and sometimes color variants if I like the design), my guess will be 4-5 like to form a squad, specially if you can mix like heavy guns, officer, assault.

People do hoard those type of figures.

Even for other type of lines

That's a LOT of foot clan/Alpha-one's!

That gold Destro is DOPE!!!!

I can see it..

Destro manufactures weapons, sells them....

Profit?

Im not really sure. Im guessing they will stream all the press conferences and reveals while companies will sell their exclusives on their sites or something like that.

If it is not Lego, it doesn't exist.

Storm Shadow was reveleaded as a Amazon esxclusive, but is not based on the artwork that was revealed before, this one loks like the old V3 costume.

Not sure how I feel about this one... Maybe it'll grow on me..

For you Cyberpunks out there, the male and female "V" character are up for pre-order at Sideshow.

It's Sideshow, so it's gonna be top of the line, but it'll cost you..

Just pre-ordered the Destro from the Hasbro Pulse website..

The Red Ninjas are sold out along with Gung-Ho, and the first version of Cobra Commander.

Man, I didn't think they'd go that fast!

I think I'm gonna pop on that Amazon exclusive Storm Shadow.

It'll pair along with this Sigma 6 ^ version I already have.

Politically correct term for pimp?

I like the eyes/face sculpt, but not digging it after itching for a 6" Stormshadow. Not a fan of the loincloth look of the ninjas. The red ninja I suppose could pass for Marvel The Hand ninjas to fight Daredevil, Wolverine, etc. Not likely to order any of these reveals. I thought this morning Stormshadow was sold out, but saw it listed on Amazon just now.

My lack of motivation to pre-order Gung Ho has me thinking maybe I bought the original because of the nice teal island beach water color. Why the metal shinguards again?

The Destro box art looks like some cartoon I never heard of. Weird that they're mixing up the box art styles from figure to figure.

Nice of the Red Ninja to include what looks like a lot of the weapons from Deluxe Snake Eyes.
