Jada Toys Scooby Doo

I may go back and order some villains now that Scooby has been preordered. Been Shaggy-only until now.

I might also hop on the villain train now that Scooby is a certainty... Although, the reality is that I'll likely just go back and forth on that decision until finally making my mind up after they've all sold out.
 
Grabbed the Sea Demon for my monster solely based on the posing range shots. Liked the two suspect options, too.

Kook is cool but... Doesn't look so Jada Posable
 
I ordered all three as soon as I got out of work, but... the hell?!? "Estimated to arrive November 2026"?!? Didn't they show these to us over a year ago? Am I out of line in wondering if they'd work faster if they'd pull their thumbs out of their asses? Some of you say you're looking forward to Scooby Dum or Dynomutt? At this point, I'd be surprised if we can complete the basic 5 figures sometime before 2030!
 
I'm thinking Scooby's tooling really gummed up the process for Jada since he is non-humanoid and probably something they weren't familiar with tooling. I'm hoping things will be more rapid fire now because they don't seem to ever be this slow on anything else.

Apologies if this has already been discussed by either you guys or Jada and I missed it and am now here announcing an epiphany that everyone else already had.
 
Yeah, the articulation for Scoob seems to have been the hold up. Hasbro’s really up’d the anti with animal articulation with the GI Joe line so they knew they had to get the central character right. Plus he doesn’t always move like an animal but more like a person so having that flexibility was likely an additional challenge than just copying what Hasbro did for their dogs. Glad they took the time to get Scooby right rather than ‘good enough.’

I’m just hoping they weren’t idly waiting on Scooby but were actively working on the rest of the gang and more monsters. Really curious what happens to the line after we get that 5th wave that completes the gang. I’d love to see some Scooby and Shaggy variants down the line. Red shirt Shaggy would be unique without even needing new tooling. Same with a darker brown Scooby. Plenty of fun disguises though. I’d love for that pot hideout for Scooby from a Night for a Knight to get done at some point. It being featured in the opening credits really made that an iconic moment.

I think the delay is mostly thanks to them prioritizing finishing production of the SF2 line before getting on with their other lines. It is their best selling line after all. But they should really get another factory to make more of these, I don't know how many they have right now but it's clearly not enough.

Scooby looks great but the headsculpts don't convince me. They're clearly going for the og cartoon look, which is great, but I kinda wish he had a more standard headsculpt. But I guess we need a full head pack for just Scooby, he's way too expressive for just two heads, and has had too many redesigns.
 
I'm happy they're doing as much as possible to get Scooby feelings right. He's so animated that it'd feel wrong if he was super restricted. I'd love for future figures to include extra expressions for him and the rest of the gang.
