@trunks3540 I like Shooter quite a bit. She's got movie Scarlett legs, sure, but those were fine. IMO the only issue with those were the heels, but Shooter has some unique flat footwear that I personally like a lot. I dig her color scheme, her swappable hairstyles (especially the braided hairstyle). Her proportions/shaping aren't perfect, but she looks great in action poses. Hasbro's white-background product photos make her look way worse than in person (the floating hair doesn't help). The only things I don't like are the weapons; I swapped them out for a Valaverse rifle and pistol. I think she looks tough enough to hang with the Night Force crew. If she's expensive on BBTS, it's because she was a Walmart exclusive, and is now sold out. BBTS is upcharging, not Hasbro, she was standard MSRP.
I also have to say, it's nice having some diversity in the Joe ranks. Not many females, and sure as heck aren't many african american females.
Pretty sure Shooter is still available at Hasbro Pulse for regular retail price of $24.99 as well - if you wanted her but not at a mark up.
Probably have to pay for shipping though which would make it close to the same price lol. Maybe I'll keep an eye on her and if she ever goes on sale I'll give her a better thought about it.

Unless you ordered her at the same time as you pre-ordered a vehicle or some other product that added up to over the amount that gets you free shipping. But yeah - if she's still for sale on Hasbro Pulse this long after going on sale as an exclusive she'll eventually be available in one of their sales.
She was actually available during the Pulse Power Days sale that just ended (35% off for members). I almost grabbed her a few times, but had a similar impression that it wasn't a great figure. Now I'm wishing I had!
The wings do look like a departure from what we’ve seen in cartoon and figures. The new comic seems more like these. I like the creepy look of this Nemesis figure. Cobra La is creepy. Lean into it.
Thwipp!
I looked up the Nemesis stream. cant really see him in that video. For the people who want to know. they said: gonna go up for pre order, "later this year" I wonder how tall he is? cant wait, must buy for me!
@panthercult Correct, just checked on Pulse, Shooter is still available for $24.99. I was going to grab another but don't see a requirement for another Shooter in my collection. BBTS markup is just $5.00 which is not bad for a sold out Walmart exclusive.
My issue with the markup is the fact that the figure looks almost entirely reused from other things and disproportionate. Thick legs with twig arms. And didn't Lady Jayes arms have a terrible tearing issue? The figure doesn't look like it's worth the $30. Honestly, with the way it looks, I wouldn't probably pay retail for it. And this is coming from someone who bought Cover Girl for $40 off ebay because she looked really good to me and I missed her when she was out. Honestly I almost skipped Lady Jaye too because I didn't like the way the torso and arms looked. Too skinny. Luckily I only paid like $17 for her off BBTS clearance. And I still kinda look at her sometimes and wonder why I got her. Wal Mart had the Retro version on clearance for $5 and I couldn't bite. It just looked awful. Worse colors, paint was sloppy, missing extra bits and pieces. Could not pull the trigger. Maybe if they had at least used Cover Girls arms I think it would look better.
We all have to do what we have to do. I had to cancel my Ferret x 2 preorders before they shipped from Pulse. I'm running out of space now and have to justify who and what gets that remaining space. I just can't have boxes and boxes of vehicles taking up space if can't open them and display them.
Here to Serve you has the Retro Eel and Snow Serpent in stock. Hopefully start seeing the rest soon

Shooter is a cool figure. It’s just that her sniper rifle was kind of gummy.
Nemesis Enforcer looks amazing! Huge and powerful as he should be. Love the new helmet head, too. Hope they make a Royal Guard figure as nice as this!
Agreed I liked Shooter. I thought they did a great job with her regardless of the parts reuse. I do have to give Walmart credit they did have the best exclusives last year.
Yeah Nemesis looks amazing. I actually like the alt head better. Here are some more prototype figures. I think some of it might be parts for Road Pig.

Not me!!!!!
I plan on building a nice little place to stay with all the boxes and toys because I'm going to need it once my wife tosses me out on my ass after seeing just my Classified collection alone!! 😆 Of course I'm kidding, my wife knows how big my collection is and quietly puts up with it because it is out of sight, and out of mind for her (in one section of our basement away from the family space.
Seriously though I am with you on that. Space danger is coming for all of us and choices have to be made. However Classified is probably my top line so it gets preference for now.
