@snake-eyes-8181 I would love it if they surprised us with a team pack for the Dragonfly like the Fire Team for the HISS.   The question is what could it be?  The Fire Team was good because they could be used with the HMS  and the HISS together or separately. 

Not sure what could come down the pipe as a support vehicle, or add-on, for the Dragonfly.   However if they were to do a team I wouldn't say no to a couple of greenshirts, or maybe a support crew with a missile loader, or fuel vehicle similar to the one with the Haslab Skystriker.  Not sure that would sell though, without being part of a pack with a highly desired figure.

@canprime I could be wrong but I thought they mentioned before that there would be something along those lines. All of those sound like great ideas. some sort of helicopter pad like the joe base would be awesome. Super pumped for the Dragonfly. I finished up my dio for it the other night. Also hoping there is a way to put Doc's stretcher on it like the original

Man... while I am definitely not surprised at the Stinger seeing release I am super conflicted about whether I pick it up.      Another $100 vehicle that will eat a TON of space -   I just don't have the real estate to display every Joe vehicle that exists and going to have to get choosy.    I honestly don't think the Stinger is going to make the cut for me.    I like it.    If space were unlimited I'd pick it up for sure -  but I have to be realistic about how much I'm going to be able to display and ranking the value and I just don't think the jeep for Cobra dudes makes the cut...

Am I the only one wanting Ketchup and Mustard ground team for Dragonfly?

Leaks are yummy in some Irish stew.

I’m gonna get two Stingers of available. I like the halo trooper. I’m secretly hoping one of the two 60th are a female.

Let’s go Yo Joe June! Hasbro reveals. Joe Convention in Grapevine. Preorders. It’s gonna be a good fun June.

Thwipp!

Joe Convention in Grapevine. 

 

Need to decide soon if I'm going to that. The panel list is great.

Wasn't there a "once a man" Commander mentioned somewhere? 

I wonder if there's a multi-eyed Commander coming with a hooded alt-head packed in so nobody gets offended by Kobra Klan.

@prophet, are you talking about the DFW Joe and Toy Show?  I've been tempted to go, but for some reason chose to take the family to Disneyland instead. 

I don't know if it's appropriate to ask, but if you're open to doing some Action Force shopping for a fellow Fwoosher, please email me at fletch137 @ msn.com.

So I’m in this I wanna know and see anticipatory state. So of course I’m gobbling up all the leaks and info. I’m very excited to see how the 60th figures turn out. I’m thrilled they took some risks in character selection. It should be fun. 

June is teaching me I’m gonna have to make choices. I can’t have it all. Stinking Four Horsemen showed off three fun figures I want. Marvel Legends has released some good figs. Black Series finally releasing some much requested figures. All that but I’m so dang geeked up for Classified. I know most of their offerings will be preorders to pay later. Well other than a Haslab which will collect in a month or so. I’m planning for a $350 item. But that will play out as it does. 

Still quite excited.

Thwipp!

The Stinger kills me cos A) I don't have the space for it but B) their vehicles are SO GOOD and C) honestly, for the size and detail level, a hundred bucks really isn't excessive. I do need to be choosey but I know at least a few collectors who are kicking themselves for not getting the VAMP and I don't want to be kicking myself any more than I usually do.

Anyone else interested to see what is going on with the Joe team?

The post for the next live stream had an interesting tidbit that fans have jumped on, as usual, with all sorts of speculation.  So why should we miss out on all the fun? 😊 

In case you were wondering the blurb with the announcement of the next live stream had this:

"Join Lenny, Tony and a new Cobra recruit you may just recognize"

That of course has lead to speculation that Emily is out and someone new is taking over the marketing for the Joe team.  Nothing, outside of Emily not being mentioned by name, indicates anything of the sort.  Heck the new Cobra recruit could be a bit of playfulness and Emily will show up in some sort of Cobra get up.

OR.....

IT IS THE END AND EMILY IS GONE!!!!!   NOOOOOO!!!!!!

Or maybe she got a promotion which considering how many brands she seemed to be juggling lately wouldn't be surprising.  Hopefully it is nothing, but I guess we'll know in a couple days.

 

Oh and someone posted on another forum about the leaked list of possible preorders for June and it was a breakdown of the possible cost for the month of June.  Of course it is just estimates based on current retail pricing:

Stinger - $100

Alpine wave - $100 (4 x $25)

Retro wave 3 - $75 (3 x $25)

MM Slaughter - $35 (maybe?)

60th - $70 (2 x $35)

Possible Haslab - $300 (again maybe?)

So that could be around $680US (for others like me in Canada it will be more) in reveals for Yo Joe June.  Also that doesn't take into account possible army building.  So it could be a very expensive month for those of you who want to army build.   Also there could be other reveals not accounted for that could be up for preorder.

I guess a nice problem to have right.

Lol it's not much of secret when you tell everyone on a public forum. Joking aside its been confirmed by the Full Force the Marine Sniper is a female. I'm pretty happy  about that one too. Their needs to be more females in the line

it will be it's own figure. I'm guessing its the Fred Deluxe figure that no one has any info on. I'm guessing we will see him and Nemesis Immortal revealed at the same time at SDCC. They kind of go hand and hand. Personally I am planning on displaying them together
