Chuckles, Gung-Ho, Zartan, Hit&Run, Firefly, Bazooka, Night Fox, The Cobra Skystriker, Shipwreck and Storm Shadow are cool action figures and toys.

I'm SO glad that the stuff I want will FINALLY be all available at retail (& on the cheap!) no SDCC pining this year😄

1) V2 Storm Shadow / Spirit $15 pack
2) Gung-Ho & the dark Siege $15 pack (that's a great GH!)
3) GREEN & TAN BLOWTORCH with red Croc for $15 (I love Blowtorch)
4) A chance to replace my DVD battles Alpine for a mere $20 + get a cool Rock Viper & a 3rd figure too!

That Cobra Commander with red "Pope" shoes is interesting...
The orange HISS is nice for Hazard Vipers.
Seems like a dangerous place for those gas cans on the buggy💥
The black/gray Ace & Hit N Run figures are sharp & the black Skystriker with red canopy is sweet.
Not sure I can get used to seeing Bazooka in that zany blue jersey tho 😆

can't wait 'till August!
I'd say the Gung-Ho & the dark Siege are "the pick of the litter!"

😉

Four months will give me plenty of time to sock-away the required $65 too😄

True That!

Rock Rampage Looks Pretty Awesome!
Although my MIB DVD Alpine set Just Did the $100.00 (or whatever) Nose Dive!
worth it though!

I'm very happy!

I'm right there with you!

Now showing samples of the Crossover offerings
That concludes the G.I.Joe Collectors Club Round Table from JoeCon 2015!

Some of the figures are ugly, the AVAC with CG torso. I don't understand the Dusty/Bazooka/Firefly 3 pack. What the heck are those Joes supposed to be?

Side-swapping vehicles...iffy on them, but they are the most surprising new items. They somehow still make the AWE Striker look good...again! Orange HISS...not sure I'd buy the whole set for it. I like the Sky Striker, but planes take up space.

Overall, the effort shows a lot of promise. I'm still not really a fan of modern figures, though.

Billy
Pythona
Old Snake
Marisa Fairborne

Awesome! Except, ....you need to subscribe to two different fig services to get those 4 😁

Still, could be worse 👍

They're very blue! Sky Strikers are definitely huge as far as storage and display...
I so want the Cobra/Joe Switch with the Joe HISS and Cobra SS Jet...but Alas....
It'll never happen.......

Yeah a Big bummer, Too Much $.... I Really ever only pined for Cover Girl

Too much money, another reason I'm glad I'm not into modern stuff. (my avatar is ironic, I guess)
There are a few things that can get fans like me to help support the line, the Vamp MK2...except they made the original style the hard to get one...so they lost me. I'd sooner buy the original off ebay. The types of character figures I'd part money with, well, they wind up as $$$ club exclusives. If I saw Pythona at retail...I'd go for it. Seeing weird blue Joes and red-shoed Cobra Commander...not so much.

The club is a making a Dreadnok 4X4 as next year's club exclusive. I wished Hasbro would redo the Dreadnok vehicles at retail. I despise the "the original is rare, so the new version should be, too" attitude.

That's getting off topic, I guess it's nice to see GI JOE is still alive in some form. After last year's no show, Hasbro is giving a damn again. DePriest and Weber seem like they care, as they are fans, too.

I just want O-Ring construction in 3 3/4" size using the same where possible, or reverse engineered molds of lost/destroyed figure molds with the original artwork on blister cards hanging on retail pegs again. Is that too much to ask?

gijoeiwasthere & Lava Boss - I hear you on the $ of the subscription service & size of Skystrikers, etc. That's why I dig the Kreons:
1.) I'm probably never getting my first choice again anyway (^)
2.) They don't break the bank.
3.) They take up a fraction of the shelf space for a 30-something year old Dad/Husband who can't just claim his whole house as a giant toy box 😜
4.) They're fun to build & work nicely with LEGO blocks to build-out their settings.
5.) Their uniforms are mostly 1980s-style accurate & capture that original essence that hooked most of us to begin with, rather than unrecognizable "updated" imaginings.
6.) Even the "chase" figures can be had on evilbay for less than a mint, so completing waves IS possible (sans Tomax...)
7.) The vehicles are quite well done & also don't require too much "real estate" to be displayed / played with alongside the figures.

My Godson and Nephew really reaped the benefits of Black Friday Time with the Kreos........I didn't keep many really, but I was Impressed with the Line!

Don't forget... Old Snake is on the Transformers side.... not the Joe Clubs side..

I think, of the stuff presented at the show, I'm most excited about is the Skeleton figure showed off by Boss Fight Studios

I would like to get Sightline when he is available loose. Great tribute to Gary Goggleshead.
Also interested to see what Billy (should be Kessler) Arboc looks like.
And I'll also get Marissa when she is available loose.
Everything else I'll just try to get them out in the wild.
Hope Hasbro doesn't fuck us and cancel all this shit in 6 months...

"Hope Hasbro doesn't fuck us and cancel all this shit in 6 months..."

Amen to That!

I'm pretty happy with Hasbro's offerings here, though personally I think they dropped the ball on vehicles. That Skystriker mold is boring, a Mauler would've been much nicer. AWE Striker and HISS were boring choices too. Also, the 25th reissues... meh.

Meanwhile, it is nice that at least we're getting Gung-ho, SS, a Rock Viper reissue among a few other nice things. I'd say it was 50-50.



Strange, I thought you didn't respect dead people.

Sightline.
 

I'd like to buy a loose Sightline too. Let me know if one of You can sell one to me when he'll be available. Grazie.

Wow. You gotta start some shit, huh? Fucking keyboard commando.

Hey, you're already rude and breaking the rules, why not? You took a pic meant to support a member who died of cancer, stole it, and changed it to be a plug to another site. Lame! Shameful! Poo on you!

Cool tittle you give me though. I'll use that. :cool:

You're welcome!

Nope don't have to subscribe to both.

So much great figs to come, I can't wait (but will have to!)
