Potentially dumb question but what does the "V" stand for on the Crimson Guard's belt?

Ha - if that's not her codename it should be!

I'd say they aren't NEEDED, but I have this stupid soft spot for duos of dumbasses. My Classified collection is peppered with various versions of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and these guys fit that bill perfectly.

I've got a friend who is a semi-professional cosplayer and he sent me the IG post in all caps saying "WE NEED TO DRESS UP AS THESE GUYS AT NYCC THIS YEAR."

I absolutely love that film. I have the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead play script as well. So good.

Tomax and Xamot are many things, and possibly chief among then is shrewd businessmen. The V ties into marketing because the main sponsor of the Crimson Guard is Verizon.

There are maybe 2-3 films I quote or reference almost every day and that's one of them.

It's also, particularly around that period, kinda rare for Oldman to play someone so thoroughly lovable. I guess I found him pretty lovable in State of Grace...

What, this guy isn’t lovable?

He is decidedly not, but... I know he's pretty.

When I was in high school, I had a dream of becoming a teacher just so I could run a drama club specifically so that one year we could do productions of both Hamlet and R&G are Dead in the same year with the same cast.

I already knew this was a cool message board but the Venn Diagram of action figures collecting to loving Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is proving it's even cooler.

This is totally the rep company dream!

Yes, we have some leaked listings for 2027 now! Don't know any of them, and this isn't everything, but we're getting some more Ninja and Night Forces, a couple of pets at least, and plenty more!

 

[Ru1977]

Obviously the mainline theme is Muppets, and Target exclusives are 'Three Stooges' themed, so we're likely to get Moe and Curly next year as well. SSF, in the exclusives, are 'Sky Surfer Strike Force', the Walmart exclusives are 'Aaaahh!!! Real Monsters'. The Pulse exclusives are apparently known to the leakers, but have not appeared on rumor lists yet.

 

[Ru1977]

Hey Ru1977.

I was watching Destro Is My Spirit Animal last night. He had a live stream. He did another "leak" list reveal. Some of the leaks were already covered, but there were a bunch of new ones. So I'll list it here and let you decide if you want to update the first page, or check out the livestream.

Here is what he revealed, again some are already on the list:

- Dusty w/Sandstorm
- Fatal Fluffies (possibly with the mini version included)
- Water Moccasin w/Gunner (not a Copperhead?)
- Road Pig (They showed a pic of the old ARAH Sonic Fighters version but it could be that or Ninja Force)
- Blue SNAKE armour (possibly with DIRE Tech effects, or it is a DIRE Tech SNAKE)
- "Stealth" CLAW (maybe similar colour to the recently revealed stealth Trouble Bubble to go with the 788 theme?)
- Arctic Cobra Commander
- Arctic Baroness
- Triple T with a Sgt. Slaughter
- Serpentor (seemed like possibly the shirtless version from the comics?)
- Zanzibar (no mention on his skiff)
- Scoop
- Muskrat
- Energon Baroness
- Voltar

He also seemed to confirm Arctic Stalker, but it wasn't part of his list of reveals so I'm not sure.

Anyway like I said there are some retreads in the list, but also some new leaks. I am interested to see what they do for the repaints of the SNAKE and CLAW, and a Triple T???? Hate to see what the price on that would be, not to mention the size. Scoop and Muskrat are some new name leaks. Arctic CC and Baroness are probably the tip of the iceberg now that they have the molds from Flint and Lady Jaye in the Haslab.

If the Energon universe cartoon is a thing soon (2 years?) then getting some of the characters out in the coming year is probably a good idea so as not to have the show with no product.

I finally am getting around to this. I was worried the Water Moccasin Gunner would be someone I'd want, and damnit... he said it'll be a female gunner, and that's just increased my anxiety because I try to get all the female Cobras I can, and if she is kinda in theme with Copperhead, then that is probably gonna look awesome!

He also mentioned the Dreadnok Trike, which I think was mentioned on another rumor list, I believe with Heartwrencher. (Oh, which he did just say as well... I'm typing as I watch, heh.)

Also, Voltar with his condor could be one of the 2027 pet guys...
