Djarum posted:I am amazed that Silverhawks has had a reboot of some kind. The character designs were insane for the time and you could do a lot with the story. Maybe if the Thundercats 2011 reboot had done better. I quite liked it but it suffered from coming out when Cartoon Network got super antsy about action cartoons and apparently the toys weren't great.

Nerd Of Prey posted:I think they really misjudged the audience, like they were really hoping both the show and the toys would be a big hit with little kids, but it was all old dudes like us who were into the show, and we had no interest in their lovely little kid toys, so they just canceled the whole enterprise. If they had gone for more of a high-end collector market for the toys, or just let the show be successful AS a show instead of banking everything on the merch, it could have done well. It was pretty good. If I remember correctly the problem was exactly that it was hitting the wrong demo. They wanted the 8-13 market and weren't getting it so they chucked it. Happened to some other shows, too.

Kingtheninja posted:Great more target exclusives of amazing figures, never to be seen in the wild. The key to Target exclusives seems to be just wait until the initial scalper rush dies down and then you'll be drowning in them. I was able to pick up Baroness yesterday and the Thundercracker/Skywarp two-pack not long ago and they were initially rare as a very rare thing.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Is that the main Classified collector group? I left it after finding my Baroness and selling the motorcycle there because those people are insane and rude. Angry, unhinged, right-wing, often misogynistic and homophobic keyboard warriors. I imagine them all decked out in Oakleys, goatees, Mossy Oak camo or Tap Out T-shirts, and red MAGA hats, driving from Target to Target, berating and threatening employees, so they can congratulate each other later for sticking it to The Man. They're the ones who be deathly shocked to find out the franchise was created by a Japanese-American.

Rhyno posted:I was watching a lovely horror film where the protagonist went to a vintage toy store and there's a loving Eternia set in the background. I think im a bit obsessed. I caught myself doing that re-watching the original Child's Play where Brad Dourif is stumbling around the toy store. It came out a bit late for He-Man I think, although I did catch the She-Ra Crystal Falls playset and the Ecto-1.

They actually had at least a bunch of He-Man at the nearest Wal-Mart. None of the vintage style Joes, unfortunately, which was what I was looking for (also, you know, groceries).

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Hisstank seems to hate everything. Is it just me, or do a lot of hardcore Joe collectors swing conservative/right-wing, too? Maybe they took all the military propaganda to heart. By and large the worst ones never paid attention to much aside from the cartoon and the toys which is like the most... 80s-centric part of the line. Larry Hama did a lot in the boundaries of the comic and was informed by the fact he, you know, had been to war. I know Hisstank ran off two GI Joe comic writers in Aubrey Sitterson (who admittedly has a few issues of his own) and Paul Allor for the crime of putting a queer main character in his Joe book. (Allor's Joe book is really good and people should read it.) I think Hama made his new Snake Eyes a Latina just to mess with them sometimes. They are absolutely the Hot Wheel Guys of the action figure set like Fuzz says.

Dale-Taco posted:I think hes referencing the latest joe book that started last year. It is set where cobra won and it follows a new gi joe recruit who happens to be gay (bi?). Its actually pretty good once you get past the first couple set up the universe issues. It also kills duke in like the first 2 pages of issue one which is how the new character is brought in. It caused much consternation. Yeah, Tiger is our POV character and also his boyfriend disappeared due to Cobra-related shenanigans. Allor has also messed with a couple of old standby's ethnicities, like Flint is now Frontier and was originally born in Pakistan. Or rather I guess he could still introduce Flint but Frontier has all of his markers up to and being involved with Lady Jaye. Tiger himself is a Cambodian immigrant so naturally Hisstank shrieks 'political!' while recoiling like somebody brandished a cross at them.

Agrias120 posted:PopFindr says my local Target has 2 Firefly and 2 Vipers, but I am going to guess that is inaccurate and/or they were snatched this morning. I genuinely don’t know if that site is ever accurate or at least what inventory it’s reporting on. I’ve been to Target when the site is telling me it’s got four Cobra Troopers and the clerk says they’re not even getting a truck that day.

Yeah, Thundercats hasn't had anything remotely successful since the original run and even that was, like you say, not as big as the heavy hitters of the day.
