I found Jinx at Wal Mart yesterday, so I cancelled my preorder from BBTS. So far she's a really cool figure. Still annoyed about the sword sheath though. Reused from movie Snake Eyes. It's curved the wrong way. Luckily, it's made so you can just heat it up and rework it to bend the right way. The neck also looks a little long, which I feel happens with most of the Classified girls. I've been going through shortening them depending on how they're made. I'll probably have to do it to her as well. She's also a bit shiny. Not sure why they made her so shiny, but it's not a big deal.
Ok so I'm gonna edit this with some more observations.
Her paint on her sides isn't lined up properly from her upper legs to her lower ones. The brown/tan color is way off when you adjust her fabric folds to where they should be. I removed some of it from where it wasn't supposed to be, but I may just remove all of it, or paint the entire brown area black or something. I'm not sure if it'd look better or not. Her knees are a slightly different shade of red then the rest of her pants. It's not overtly noticeable, at least to me, but I can see it in certain lights. Her fists have up/down wrists, don't know why, that is an odd choice. But at least her grip hands also do so she can hold the sword well. I shortened her neck a little, it looks better. But her little choker thing doesn't wanna stay on properly. May have to glue that down. And her sword sheath is more gummy then the one that came with Snake Eyes. I reshaped it with heat, but I'm not sure how well it'll hold up that way without the sword actually being in it. The blind fold looks a little weird, probably because it's made of rubbery plastic, and is too bulky. It's not bad, just noticeable. I'm using it as a headband for her. I think it looks better that way, but it still looks, not great. All in all the figure is pretty good but having to do some paint edits annoys me, and there are a couple of just those confusing decisions that make me scratch my head.
I kinda would like some opinions or thoughts on what to do about the paint details on her sides. I was either gonna just remove it from her thighs, or paint the whole detailing black. So I'm wondering what you guys think would look better. Matching the color for it would be a pain in the ass, and something that I don't feel like doing lol.
I wonder if Pulse members will still be able to order/preorder on the day of the con. I mean technically they payed to have exclusive access and I’d assume that counts for convention exclusives.
They'll send us the notification that they're up, an hour after they've already sold out.

That is so true because that has happened to me on more than one occasion. We just have to know what time and what day the preorders/orders go up and set our own alarms. Or……….on the 25th and 26th, watch Pulse like a hawk every half hour starting at 6am and hope to God Coco doesn’t sell out in seconds.
Watching the GI Joe movie again
Is there a place to stream it? Or would I have to buy it on disc of some sort?

It is frequently uploaded to Youtube (without permission) so you can easily find it there.
Ahh ok. Well if there's no other alternative I may look into that. I think TUBI? Has the cartoon on there, or did at one point. Was hoping maybe they had the movie as well.
Mindbender was kind of difficult to get, the same with Serpentor if I recall. I really hope Once A Man is easier.
Chuckles and the Crimson Strike Team (which hit clearance) were easy enough to get. I’m sure they’ll be making OAMCC in those higher numbers of last year’s exclusives. Shouldn’t be an issue for premium members but non-premium could go quickly.

Why would you be sure that they are making this year's exclusive in the same number as last years - which you note hit clearance? They have ratcheted down production on their retail offerings - I think they may well do the same on these exclusives precisely so they don't have to clearance them out.
@panthercult Chuckles didn’t hit clearance, just the multipack of repaints. Pretty sure Hasbro is well aware of Cobra Commander’s popularity and would likely make him in numbers similar to Chuckles. I think the lesson learned is multipack repaints probably don’t sell as well. I could very well be wrong but they’ve done a good job over the last few years not making these too limited so too many miss out. Just because it wouldn’t be a good retail release doesn’t mean it can’t make them a bunch of money if they make enough.

More than just difficult for me. I still don't have them. By the time restock notifications reached my eyes, they were gone. Every. Damn. Time.
And what are your thoughts about seeing it again?
The intro is awesome of course. This is my 8th time seeing it. I love it. kinda messed up what Cobra-La did to CC.
Based on the movie, i would like a 'Big Lob' figure made.
