1. Joe line has officially overtaken ML as the prime Hasbro 6″ line.

   And Hasbro knows it too, putting them last.

2. Can’t believe Metal-Head is coming. GI Joe panel killed it.

3. I’ve wondered if they’ve felt budget cuts/increased licensing costs that have affected how they do things? The Spiderverse wave and now the NWH second wave, with new tooling not easily re-used and actor likenesses for NWH, have twice led to non-BAF waves. Accessory counts seem to flucuate with figures in various waves. On top of that, Disney still doesn’t share much, leading to movie waves with some odd or uninspired on-screen choices because they don’t have much to go on, and belated turnaround on what people are asking for (if MoM had been a bigger thing, whinier collectors would replace demands for NWH figures in the livestream chat with MoM Illuminati figures).

4. The GI Joe team has been killing it all year, the ML team has felt a little uninspired since the GR HasLab failed.

5. The pivot to more classic looks is making my wallet sad.

6. For the first time, the GI Joe panel was way more exciting than the Marvel Legends panel. And Emily is a hoot!

7. That wasn’t so hard now was it? Finally proper Duke and Scarlett.
