blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I got Snake Eyes (regular ver) today. I'm happy with it overall. I'm looking forward to the Alley Vipers, potentially a Beachhead, Flint, Falcon, Storm Shadow, Firefly, CC, and Barroness.

Golden Arms Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I saw the entire wave at my lcs a few days ago. I picked up Scarlett and Roadblock. I went back today and the others were all gone. I have both versions of snake eyes and Duke on PO with Hasbro Pulse. I highly recommend these figures if you run across them. The added leg and neck articulation allows for some really dynamic poses. These are quite possibly Hasbro's best 6 inch figures to date. I may do a head swap for Scarlett using the Target exclusive black widow, as her head sculpt is a little young in appearance.

Their figures and accessories will pair well the Joes. Ditto for the articulated icons. I have a few ninja and samurais from that line.

sh9000 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I've got Classified Snake Eyes x2 ordered at Dorkside and Destro ordered at Target when they had their sale. Looking forward to more Cobra figures. I'm glad that the Articulated Icons Ninjas are versatile to different lines. Too bad they don't list their Black Ninjas or Red Ninjas on sale. I might get a few figures and vehicles from the Retro line. I hate all exclusives carried by Walmart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm liking CC for what it portrays; a figurehead. Itd be cool to have a battle armor variant. Now we need Storm Shadow and Firefly to challenge these Joes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 The design choices are weird for some of them. I just want 1/12 scale figures of 25th Anniversary or POC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danth Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 GI Joe is the single toy line I loved as a kid that has never been improved upon. The newest Yamato and Bandai Valkyries are amazing. The Beagle Mospeada is perfection. Masterpiece Transformers are truly masterpieces. But these new GI Joes do nothing for me. The originals are still the best. Except maybe in articulation.

Mog Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 ^^You’d take the originals even over the 25th Anniversary versions from a decade ago? I’ll concede the original vehicles have never been improved upon, but the figures? The 25th and follow-up lines were a massive improvement in a number of ways.

Negotiator Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) i think i like the light blue version, but maybe it's the helmet that really bother's me. maybe a custom classic head would make it better. the gold feet should probably be black. I don't doubt the team would eventually redo all the characters with their classic look. Edited June 17, 2020 by Negotiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm wondering if the side of the helmet is supposed to evoke the head of a snake with its mouth wide open? I can see if they go with the first shade of blue, if the plan is to match up with the same shade of blue used for the Cobra Troopers and Cobra Officers. And on the regular release, they really need to make the butt of the revolver gold to match the hilt of the sword. Consistently colored cobra-headed weapons.

I don't like the sculpts, the wonky proportions, or the over-detailing in some cases (ridiculous amounts of wrinkles, giant pockets everywhere, random textures). Many of the figures are super lanky with small joints (knees, elbows, waist) so they end up looking like sausage links. But the line is super inconsistent so it varies from figure to figure. If they all looked as good as 2011 Airtight I would feel very differently: But for every one of those there are a bunch of stinkers. Like their attempt to recreate 85 Snake Eyes. Maybe most people like it but I think it looks pretty goofy: Edited June 17, 2020 by danth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I liked them well enough. Near the end of the line, the figures were loaded for bear in terms of accessories and weapons (Steel Brigade and Resolute/City Strike Snake Eyes, for example). The female figures were an improvement over the 80’s O-Ring versions. I liked that you could change the look of certain figures like keeping the goggles up or down for both Snow Job and Low Light. And once you learned how to pop open the torsos, it was relatively easy to pull off a bunch of customs. Even when the official releases were less than adequate, there were ways to make better versions (Grunt and Wet Suit come to mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
