I've only gone hard on Joes recently but I already miss the boxes that had art on them.

Joe Fisto posted:I have a feeling that stores are cutting back on their brick and mortar stock and intend to focus more on online sales. I don't think either of my targets have had great stock in at least 6 months. Wave comes in, sells out and the pegs stay empty. This scans. I did a toy crawl to look for Marvel Legends '97 figures for a friend (and actually a friend in this case, I'm working on GI Joes) and hit three Targets and four WalMarts and none of them had any action figure aisles I'd call well stocked. They continually look like they would just post-Christmas.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:It's this, hasbro's toy sales have been steadily declining, almost as if regular price increases have moved them out of impulse buys, so big box stores are getting more and more gun shy about larger orders. That's true. I'm still buying stuff but it's getting much less a given and I've already taken a pass on stuff that I would in theory really like, like the '97 X-Men Marvel Legends.

The Last Call posted:They showed some images of retro Beach Head, Snow Serpent and Corbra Eel. Coming out this summer. And the retro cards have better looking weapons than the original versions, yeah? Also I guess I'm on the hook for two Snow Serpents and hope they do a Wolf one day.

I didn't realize the deluxe Snow Serpent - well, I didn't even realize there were deluxe Snow Serpents - came with weird wolf pelt capes.

The Last Call posted:I'm half expecting The Stinger to be announced at the Joe event in June. The Rattler and Mauler would probably be too much for me but they'd be cool. Still would love the Wolf and Wolverine, even if the latter means I probably buy Cover Girl again. Surprised the AWE Striker hasn't been mentioned. Didn't realize I'd miss Serpentor and woo is he going for a tidy sum on the secondary market. Shame.

Canopus250 posted:I'm hoping he, Bludd, and Mindbender all wind up with a standard re-release at some point in the near future. They and a general release for the HISS tank (as Last Call speculated a while back) would all be great. There's four things from HasLab (three Joe, one Transformer)* I missed and I wish they'd come along at better times for me but I'm going to try to make sure that that's the last time I complain about that. Probably won't succeed, but I'll try. *Admittedly I don't actually know where the Skystriker and Dragonfly would go in my place.

So it's a broad topic but what are the worst figures Classified's done? I saw a lot of folks talking it's Falcon but he doesn't look so bad in pictures.

So I ordered Falcon before getting a super good look at that head sculpt off eBay and turns out they were sold out so I got a refund. Little blessings.

I'm guessing Ramen Toy is a 3P outfit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZC1aVrBGj8 Supposedly it can not only be the Bridge Layer but the Wolverine and a tank, so maybe the Mauler.

The Last Call posted:It works for the Bridge Layer or the Wolverine. But as a tank it's too small. Yeah, true. Maybe that small tank that was about the Wolverine's size, had four cannons? I forget its name. Edit: The Armadillo. Dawgstar fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Apr 11, 2024 |

Man, retro Duke and Scarlett are really good. I think the only one I haven't jumped on is Lady Jaye because I think there I genuinely like the original. Also Baroness because I've got Baroness and the COIL bike and they seem like basically the same, just different guns.

Sentinel Red posted:While I can imagine them doing a basic, blue paint job version of the HISS sans electronics et al, I doubt they will touch that Sentinel ever again. But what they could do is make a new, smaller one based on the awesome MvC design. Hell, make it Mango and I'd buy it in a goddamn heartbeat. A blue HISS and the driver would suit me down to the ground. I don't need anything else.
