For a live-action Joe tv show, I use Strikeback as an example. Or even 24 and Jack Ryan. Small team of operatives. Mini-arc stories spread throughout season which all tie-into a main storyline. Strikeback is more adult, as it had sex in it, which GIJoe doesn't need. But there was good...

I missed it. Was there at 8am. Kept being listed as coming soon. I kept refreshing. No change. I wandered off for a few minutes. Came back and it's now on backorder. Sigh. Will these hit stores? There's a Disney store near me. Maybe I'll walk down there this weekend and see if they...

The 80s Joe cartoons are all on Tubi. Free streaming service with ads. My favorite streaming service, as their ad times are noticeably shorter than other ones. I think Hollywood is adverse to learning lessons. If something makes money, keep doing it. That's about all they know. Look how...

These are the slow days. The very long slow days of the campaign. We'll see a tick up around SDCC due to people seeing it in person at the show. And potentially supporting items, like arctic themed figures, being revealed at SDCC. And then the surge the last couple of days. Hoping the base...

A Crimson HISS at $150 is being strongly hinted at in Joe circles. Several people with inside knowledge hinted at a red $150 vehicle a while back. The Thunder Machine was not it. And there have been suggestions to not bet against a stripped down red HISS being the vehicle. Frankly, I'm fine...

Origins Point Dread was hanging around Ross stores for a while. I think it was $15. I picked up the Sketchbook series Hordak/Grizzlor at Target for $9. If Hordak has two normal arms, he'd have been a potential army builder at that price. Would almost be tempted to get Hurricane Hordak...

Yeah. You can use the $10 off multiple times. Used it once in store and another time for the Howling werewolf. Glad I checked this thread, as I was able to order one.

Bigfoot is essentially the size Sasquatch should me. Damn, what a sentence. I have their grey werewolf and it's pretty neat, but damn is its torso a pain to move. Bigfoot will sort of be tempting, but I'm guessing he'll be near $150.

GIJoe fans already know about the police officer figure. And want the preorder to go live. Who exactly is Hasbro afraid of offending at this point? People who don't collect the line and don't pay attention to it? How exactly would they even become aware of it? Unless it makes it onto...

Hasbro should just put up preorders for the police figure and that's it. There's never going to be a good time for it politically. And it doesn't need to be addressed. Commenting on the topic seems like a bad PR move. Why draw extra, possibly negative, attention to it? Why risk pissing off...

No thanks to real world personalities in GIJoe. Sgt Slaughter is enough for me. I do think homages, like Pursuit of Cobra’s Jungle Spirit being inspired by Predator’s Billy was cool. So things like that are fine. The live action GIJoe movies were terrible, so I don’t want anything in...

Sounds like the blue orc is the least interesting figure for many of us. I am glad there's a v3.0 body though. Will be interesting to finally see some double-elbows, butterflies, and mid-torso articulation (they're calling it waist swivel but it looks more like a ribcage cut/ball) in the...

Showing this off at SDCC will garner some more interest and backers. As well if they reveal some other upcoming snow-themed items like figures and maybe the Polar Battle Bear ski-mobile.

Hasbro revealed the HISS Fire Team at SDCC around the time of the HISS campaign. I think there's a good chance they reveal some other arctic themed figures (maybe even the Polar Battle Bear skimobile) at SDCC. Obviously they will release some more arctic stuff anyway. And the Snow Cat won't...

I hope they make Medusa in this scale. Their 1/18 version was fantastic.

Perhaps Mattel is borrowing an idea from Hasbro with shared exclusives. They keep a limited amount for their own online store and then also offer it through other retail partners.

HISS may have funded the fastest, but it didn't sell the most units. Galactus did better overall. He may have set the record for Haslabs.

The Snow Cat looks amazing! It's huge. Tons of features (stowage, personnel carrying option, the kitchen) are great. I like the unlock figures and bivouac. Just lots of goodness.

The Rising Sons wave already kinda scratched the vikings vs undead itch. I would hope this is something a bit different. Although they could keep going with that theme. I wouldn't mind seeing a brute-sized Viking.

$175 is way too high. I never had the Rhino back in the day, and the retail version being $100 was going to make it easily skippable, albeit a sliver of a possibility. I'll just stick with the two I had as a kid. The Thunderhawk and Condor. Enough representation of the line and the only real...

Arctic versions of mainline characters. And other arctic vehicle drivers. Those are great ideas for pack-ins with the Snow Cat. I just don't want characters like Iceberg and Blizzard to be with the Snow Cat. They were individual figures in the vintage line and should be so again. I did...

I understand the logic. But it's also kind of disappointing. I understand not wanting to do a ton of each, but the main survivor girl from several of the movies should work. As suggested, maybe even in a 2pk with Jason from that movie. I'm sure they could come up with some accessories which...

NF Beachhead is one of the most hideous figures in the line. His outfit just doesn't work. One of the coolest looking characters now also has one of the worst looking figures. I don't even this he's salvagable. Maybe the lower half could work with a different upper half as a custom...

Christmas-themed Joes would actually kind of be cool. Hasbro's been making Star Wars ones, and the SW team (and Lucasfilm) seem a lot less fun than the Joe team. Maybe Hasbro figures the Joe fans won't support holiday Joes, since some Joe fans are insufferably inflexible with their tastes.
