Commander WITH HIS HOOD are all coming soon!! Like preorder next month soon!!
WAIT a second, is that CONFIRMED?????????????? Holy grail for me...........Just been waiting for this news since i saw the HISS tank CC reveal. i knew they were gonna take him out again. its been like what, 1 year since the Hiss tank came out?
Isn't Raptor the SDCC Exclusive?
But that list is pretty good. Iam especially excited about V.2 Storm Shadow and CC be it hooded or his battle armored look.
Raptor is the SDCC and Star Duster is the Pulsecon exclusive. I meant that the preorder might go up for the 3rd retro figure then
I was with ya man 🙂
I just was genuinely asking about Raptor, because I had seen (SDCC Exclusive) out from Raptors name on Hiss Tank I believe but had never heard that confirmed or mentioned anywhere else. And I didn't know Starduster was a Pulse Con exclusive.
Now I know, and knowing.......well, you know.
@snake-eyes-8181 Yeah the post by the retailer has some interesting tidbits.
V2 Storm Shadow has been rumoured to be the fourth figure for the next wave for a bit now so not too surprising if true.
The Stinger isn't surprising either since the VAMP was revealed (and sold out). A pleasant surprise if it isn't a Pulse exclusive.
MM Sgt. Slaughter is nice to see and MM Spirit/Low-Light will probably also be revealed sometime in the month.
60th Marine is not a surprise, but it is nice to see the Pilot could be a HALO Jumper instead. That would make for a pretty interesting load out. I wonder if they would consider a cloth parachute for him?
The Retro wave is also interesting. Cobra Commander is not a surprise. However I'll believe it when I see it about it being the hooded version. My guess is it will just be the HISS tank version re-released on a retro card (minus the Mickey Mouse logo). The Cobra Trooper is interesting as well. I am going to guess that it will be a re-deco of the CI version, but I wonder how it will look. The surprising thing is who will be the third figure? There are supposed to be 9 Retro figures across 3 waves for 2024. So that means we are missing one figure from this last wave. The rumour mill, if accurate, means it could be either Flint or Major Bludd.
Overall a great set of reveals, again if true.
What's also nice is that this is not likely to be revealed all in one week, but rather over the course of the month along with more name only reveals, digital render reveals, physical product reveals and whatever else. Hopefully a Dragonfly unboxing, or at the minimum an update with some physical product reveals. Also maybe other unexpected toy reveals and non-toy reveals.
@allynewns the diaphragm joint is good but I can't say it is better then the ab crunch. Were they have really improved is the hip joint which was always to stiff and the fact the vest overlays are separated from the belt making articulation in the chest and waist a lot better. The gummyness has gotten better to some degree.
Overall the articulation has really improved from the first year or so and doesn't feel as stiff. I would try out Duke and see if you like it. He is a solid figure and probably one of the best of the line. He will be in my top ten for the year.
@allynewns Unfortunately, there's no consistency to the range on the upper diaphragm ball joint between different figures in the line. General Hawk's diaphragm joint has next to no range, while Retro Duke's ball joint has very good range. I think your best bet here is to watch youtube reviews from a non-shill.
Same goes with the gummyness. Overall it's a little better but it's still a bit of a QC lottery between figures.
thanks both, that’s super useful!
I’m just stating this as I was sure trooper would come with Commander in the retro line. I think the third one is Roadblock. I’ll take Flint or Bludd. They will come as I’m sure the retro line keeps on chugging along.
Thwipp!
@supercamel-1982 oh gotcha lol
Raptor is basically 99% confirmed. There were some prototype shots going around of him a few months ago. Same thing with Star duster with the exception of the prototype pics. Rumors are he will be at higher price point and come with some sort of vehicle which I think will be the jump platform.
@prophet My money is on Roadblock too. if he isn't I am sure we will see him in 2025. The only thing we do know is the third figure will be a joe based off of the codenames
@canprime I'm pretty sure the list is true. It is from a retailer who put his orders in last week.
Hooded CoCo I hope does turn out to be true. But I am also skeptical until I see it. The Retro Cobra trooper I am guessing will be more classic inspired and use a lot of the Officer. I do hope we see him come with something unique and not a bunch of reused weapons.
EE already has post up hinting at a vehicle so I am guessing its the stinger which I am guessing will be a fanmazon excluisve. Strange you would think the Vamp be the wider release and the stinger would be the Pulse Exclusive.
Halo Jumper I am excited to see. I am guessing it will be a lot of reuse from NF ripcord.
Still a few others that could pop up. Nemesis Immortal, Road pig, Heart Wrencher, the Whip snakes two pack and another deluxe figure. Besides that we haven't heard of anything additional for the dragonfly like the fire team. But any of these items they could be waiting for SDCC. Going to be an exciting few months
I'm drawing a blank, what does MM stand for?
Assuming the Stinger is a repainted VAMP, oof, it's going to be hard to say no. lol
@normdapito it stands for Mad Marauders. I know I'm in the minority but its my favorite Sub team.
@vicious7171 I'm on the fence. I told myself I wasn't going to get it. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to cave. I'm not to get the hulkbuster so this is how I am justifying it to myself
@normdapito Mad Marauders. I guess they can't, or don't want to, use Sgt. Slaughter's Marauders anymore.
