I like the color of blue. I'm fine with one.
Rip It and his long time feud with Skidmark. It only makes sense.

Duke and CC retro figures are at a reduced price of 7 bucks on Walmart. Their collector page is very poorly designed btw and no of their 'reveals' for GIJoe today.

Looks like Blue Hiss Tank will ship shortly while the two figures in Oct.
The Walmart site is a shitshow for their collector hype page.

Tank is out of stock as of now. Good. I was sort of tempted. Maybe I'll find one in stores...ahahahahahahaha. I've only seen the 2020 HISS tank once and no other retro stuff at all.

Star Wars stuff keep coming up and out of stock yesterday, so the Hiss could come back in stock on Walmart.
Also, everything from the retro line is up on Hasbro Pulse for a small markup of about a dollar.

Retro is done with. Walmart must not want it anymore.
Hasbro is going to try to sell oring figs to people again off of Hasbro Pulse.
Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow in a collectors case and a HasLab Skystriker.
The people wanting a Classified vehicle as a HasLab will be pissed, but I think this makes sense. oring Joes were peak popularity, not Classified stuff.

Now they decided to do this and the Haslabs Skystriker? I've got too many problems to care now.
I like the way they say Ripcord was released for only one year. Uh, no.
And they remade the Sky Striker for modern, so this seems to be misreading the room. Or part of the room. People probably want something that has not been remade for many years.

A retail Sky Striker would peak at what, 60 bucks? I think Hasbro is banking on there being a huge nostalgia pull for oring Joes. The idea of a Classified Hiss Tank seems limited in vast appeal. The oring stuff could capture all sorts of collector attention. But Sky Striker as the Haslab splash? Hmm... it is the most iconic Joe vehicle, but it doesn't feel too 'special' as the crowd funding. Oring fans would want Flagg, which if this works will come down the line. Killer Whale, a Sunbow inspired Joe Base, Terror Drome, USS Flagg as I mentioned... those are logical Haslab offerings. |

Wow.
O-rings are back...about time. I thought Hasbro was done with 3 3/4.
White Ripcord, lol.
Skystriker is overpriced when compared to what Elite Force did with 1:18.
At least on Snake Eyes card it says "A real American hero."

Why not stash the uzi with the pack so there's less bubble pushing in on Snake Eyes art?

That's why I said part of the room. Die-hard longtime o-ring collectors may not number that many. But will the newbies who've jumped into o-ring collecting pay attention to his Haslab Sky Striker. Maybe? Maybe better to put this damn thing at actual retail where those people can find it. Companies want collector money but are sheepish about bigger items. Understandable...but a far cry from a decade ago. Also, not sure it's the most iconic Joe vehicle. Good guy one, in the top ten...it's very debatable to me. The 1982-83 carded Snake-Eyes was the same. So they got that part right. LOL |
