It looks like the retail price of these figures could be 22.99... what is the justification to a higher price point? The Pulse had them listed as 19.99 but changed to 22.99. The BBTS has them at 24.99 (the standard 2 buck mark up). Other places list them at 19.99, but I am guessing some/all will email preorder'ers ... yo, the price is now 22.99. But again, what makes these movie figures worthy of the increase?

 The surly look with shorter hair, smaller build has been done before. I think its in keeping with her file card. Basically, I am digging movie Baroness. |

Saw this on Facebook concerning the new character: "Early script leaks and toy solicits named her Akita, as in Junko Akita from the Master and Apprentice II comics published by Devil's Due. She was Stormshadow's apprentice, and lover. It seems she morphed from that character." Guess she kind of didn't get the same kind of hype Zanya and Kamakura did as legacy characters? comicvine.gamespot.com/junko-akita/4005-80480/ |

 Ho hum ho hum. Leak. I think he needs a bit more silver to create some contrast. I'm not too impressed to be honest. Or is this thing just a fake? Hmmm |

He is bland compared to other releases. It's good to see him this early. Bludd often gets pushed aside for all the masked baddies and army builders.

I was spoiled with Sideshows 12" version...he had metal dog tags.
Most of the details of that figure are seen here, identical vest, cyber arm included.
I always liked seeing Major Bludd in the battle with the Cobra Troopers.

Yeah, what a crock. LOL. Goes on sale on weekday morning. One per customer, sell out fast.
Again, people, stop supporting scalpers. Keep calling out companies for their bullcrap, or this is how it's gonna be.

Hasbro Pulse Fan First Friday reveals.
Another Roadblock, but he's sort of retro...except he's got a gatling gun not an M2 browning. That's right...3 of Marvin before we get a Shipwreck or Dusty or Spirit or Stalker or Hawk....
Snake-Eyes and Timber...more sort of retro.
Gee, it was almost like I predicted one time...that a 6-inch line would be the same handful of characters again and again...almost.
Barbecue...Cobra Island, because screw new characters that aren't exclusives.
Breaker and RAM...you guessed it, retro---sort of.
rereleasing the first Cobra Island exclusives as Target exclusives again. Oh, boy. MORE ROADBLOCK.
No official Walmart retro series news...stay tuned for the sloooowest rolled out exclusive line ever...

Yeah, I am still missing Major Bludd. I guess it was up on Pulse, but I slept through it. Or maybe the premium users got to him first? Ho Hum. Yeah, this Roadblock and Snake Eyes and Target junk is really annoying me. If this stuff was on BBTS or Amazon, even Walmart, you could order them. www.amazon.com/Hasbro-GIJ-Mission-Milky-Way/dp/B08S59Z446?The Roadblock repaint Amazon link. The only good thing is all these reissues they are doing. |

At some point some jackass will say "All the reissues are killing the line", even though the line wasn't findable in most physical stores that supposedly carried it for it's first entire year.
I have strong opinions on a line I don't collect. LOL

A buddy found me Bludd (Well, my buddy), also, the Target webpage for Bludd says Sold Out now.
One thing, the Buy It Now average price for Bludd is down to 50 bucks or so on eBay. Think the market will bring down scalper prices and it will end up a common figure in the long run.
