Awesome. I was thinking of putting the hat head from the Sniper on Quarrel from the set with NH Falcon.
The sniper Marine pack looks to be great value. Those extra portraits are fantastic. I’m looking forward to this shipping soon.
Thwipp!
In a related note, I gave Shooter the sniper rifle from Gnawgahyde and think it looks great.
I wouldnt mind an extra marine, but extras at that price don't make a ton of sense. I like generics, but I dont like generics that are more expensive than regular figures.
I'm wondering what Hasbro is going to do with the VAMP and Ferret going forward. They have no problem reissuing big ticket items with Transformers (Commander class, etc). Also they clearly have no problem reissuing figures across most lines (ML, SW, TF) at regular retail prices/scales.
So what is the deal with Classified? They corrected the mistake of Cobra Island by reissuing those figures (Really? Mainline characters/Army builders as store exclusives?) again and they did reissue (or second run right on the heels of the first run?) the Trouble Bubble. So clearly they have the capacity to both be aware of a need, and to fulfill that need. Yet they haven't really done anything more since then.
Granted they have kind of pivoted to releasing alternate looks of figures rather than straight up reissues (Retro, or the many different BATs and Vipers). However they don't seem to be in a rush to do the same for large ticket items like the VAMP. Of course it could just be a matter time, but maybe they are a bit gun shy due to the cost/price and worry about not selling out a second run?
Who knows? I'm just spewing speculation here. However as the line continues on I am a bit surprised they haven't gone back to the well on some older releases that are hard to come by now due to exclusivity, time, etc.
With the Vamp, I’m speculating we might see future smaller pocket releases from Hasbro. I’m thinking it’s still in production with repaints which as of now could be The TigerForce version but somewhere during production, they might switch it up and make a small run of normal Vamps. I am not sure with the Ferret but if there is still a demand, I wouldn’t be surprised if it pops up back in stock next year.
Speaking of Tiger Force. I’ve heard rumblings for this upcoming Fridays Target Collector Corner collectible being a Tiger Force repaint figure. Anyone know who the figure is supposed to be if the rumors are true?
@leor Hmm hard to say! With how many flight figures we've gotten lately on the Airborne buck or other flight suits, maybe Skystriker? I wouldn't be mad if they left these alone and just started making more original characters like Wreckage or even made up Tiger Force repaints. Random, but I'd dig a Tiger Force Kamakura.
Was going some more searching and saw in Europe there was TF Blizzard...yes this is very odd but I'd buy it!
They also had Hit N Run:
I don't think there's a character that couldn't use a Tiger Force makeover.
Random, but I'd dig a Tiger Force Kamakura.
Hell yeah, make him yellow with black stripes. I dig yellow ninjas.
New AI Joe video someone made. Some of the designs are cool. I'd definitely like a Lamprey figure that looked like the one in the video, despite knowing nothing about the character.
@vicious7171 Now that I’m thinking about it, what if it’s Lifeline? He was an original Tiger Force member right? Maybe Target is again releasing a TF repaint first for a figure that we know is coming later like they did with Recondo and others. I would want a TF Lifeline just so I know a regular one will be released soon after. I feel sorry for Doc. He needs someone to help him carry the other side of that stretcher to help evac the injured. Lifeline can provide the assist!
And now that I think about it, Cobra has never had a field medic have they? I guess they feel their troops are really expendable. Probably just replace them with a BAT or Fred clone or something.
Cobra's medic is a grumpy old lady with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, a box of iodine and gauze , and a .44 magnum for when the iodine and gauze isn't enough.
That should be a Pulse exclusive.

That yellow snow Blizzard is all kinds of hilarious.
