Hasbro Panel News With Images

the ripper and torch looks awsome

[JayC]

BTW, is Doc's helmet removable? Haven't seen any pics suggesting this.

 

The helmet on the prototype at the con was not removeable which is why u see no pics of it, but the final version will have a removeable helmet.

[JayC]

All that stuff look awesome!

 

One thing: Did Hasbro address the dumb elbow joints on the figures? I could care less if they fix the crotches, as making my Joes sit down isn't that big of a deal, but I want them to be able to hold their gun with BOTH hands, and the elbow joints make it nearly impossible.

 

Not specifically that I recall, though I'm pretty sure they are aware of all the certain articulation problems you all have been complaining about and working to fix them. They did mention we can expect to see the same type of articulation used on the chest of the Star Wars superarticulated clones in upcoming 25th Anniversary figures. They said that was the plan from the begining but something happened along the way that for some reason it didn't happen. Those not familiar with the clones, that have a bit more movement then the current Joes do. If Im not mistaken can slide back and fourth more giving the figure more mobility.

the clone chest art. is really good in my opinon i would like to see their elbow joints on the 25th figures too

And we finally get DTC Wave 4!

 

 

Wait...did they say Master Collector?

 

 

Ah crap, we finally get Wave 4 and now it will be $25 a figure.

 

 

Yes we are getting Wave 4, but there "could be some color/paint aps" such as Falcon being in green instead of his current color (cammo colors) as well as perhaps other minor changes like Outback in a white shirt vs, the black shirt. More details to follow.

 

No, we are not getting it from master collector, we are getting it from the GI JOE Collectors Club

 

They did not state the price and if they are only going to do a limited run, then I would expect to pay a little more for the figures, they have not decided if if they are going to offer all the joes together and all the cobras together, more details to follow. All I know is that I am glad that they finally heard us and I cannot wait to get this wave and the unproduced Sigma Six (Robot Rebellion) Cobra Commander from the GIJCC too. Looks like a cool 1-2 years to come and I am hoping many more to follow.

Isn't Master Collector & GI Joe Collectors Club basically the same entity?

 

As for Wave 4, there in lies the conundrum. You see, many of us Joe collectors and Army builders are like crack whores. We need our fix. Then a dealer comes along with something we can't say "no" to and ups the price significantly. Sure, the dealer offers a "free" sample (but come on, a franken-Copperhead?) but then we are hooked and the price goes up. If only there was regulation or competition (ala TRU, Target &/or WallyWorld) then the prices could be kept lower. But a monopoly exists and you can't fight a monopoly because, well, who are you going to go to feed your habit. I hear a dealer in Hong Kong might be able to get me some gooooood sh&t for cheap. We'll have to see.

You can ALWAYS say no. Not to mention I'm pretty sure the higher price for these will be because of a shorter "print" run. The reason WalMart and TRU aren't carrying these is because they didn't want to in the first place.

*sigh*

 

Isn't that the problem with addiction? Did Nancy Reagen ever stop anyone from doing drugs?

 

As for the shorter run. I understand your point and yet I completely hate it anyway. Like I said, I hope the Hong Kong Fooies can pony up some figures when the "run" starts.

[Eric]

Pretty much everything looks/sounds cool.

 

I just hope they find a better way to get more of these on shelves. Each store around here got one shipment of Wave 1 and that's it. Once they were gone, they were gone for good.

 

I know they said they're working on getting these to more people or something, but I was hoping for something more concrete.
