One of the greatest comments I heard from a collector was "Wow thank you Hasbro , my PRE-ORDER collection looks great!!!"

I pre-ordered Dusty, Zarana, and the Crimson Guard and I'm glad they are doing Sgt. Slaughter. I just hope June will be a better show than this hot mess that we got. 🤞

The Duke repaint looks fantastic. What's the matter with having two Slaughters from two different companies?!😜

The Zarana looks great, but I'm not sure about that Gwen Tennyson package artwork.

I want to believe that Target wanted that Crimson Guard as an exclusive, but seeing as how every company wants money here & now, that explains it. Hasbro will pump them out in large quantities, and Target saves on its bottom line by not paying for the more expensive exclusive. Hasbro is ALL about earnings at the moment.

HASBRO is Relying on the Consumer, Collector, Fan to say and do EXACTLY what you said at 2 33. YES! I'll pick it up. As long as you are willing to faithfully pick up, buy, purchase the Repaints and Redos, and Retro this, Color Variation that, at the EVER INCREASING PRICE GOUGING PRICE POINTS, HASBRO will CONTINUE to pump out the Garbage instead of giving you, the Consumer, the Collector, the Fan what you want and what you deserve. Between the EXCLUSIVES (RAM? Tiger Force Ram? Good Luck) and the RIP OFF Pricing, this Collector, Fan is OUT. I might be the first, but won't be the last.

I'm glad that there will be a Sgt Slaughter, I wasn't going near any of those Valaverse figures. Missed all the preorders on Pulse, no Targets in Canada and Toys R Us is unreliable at best. Managed to preorder somewhere else. I was happy with these, less so with the lack of reminder from my phone since I missed the window at Pulse by half an hour.

I wonder if we will get an o-ring and 4 inch Sgt. Slaughter. We still need a William the Refrigerator Perry figure. I think hasbro did the same thing to the Super 7 B.A.T.. Super 7 annouced a bat. Then so did hasbro. Different scale and toon asthetic.

I was born about 5 years too late on GI Joe but I still managed to get my cousins hand me down Joes which I cherished. I'm FINALLY able to watch the cartoon after all these years and just learning the series. I have some questions, like who is the main bad guy boss? Zartan, Cobra Commander or Destro? They all seem to fight among each other and all seem to have equal authority. Also I notice Cobra has Crimson guards and troops to army build but do the GI Joe's have any troops to army build with?

Pretty much agree with everything you said!

Hasbro invested a lot of money into that SE origins movie and line of figs, to not get anywhere near the returns they'd hoped for. So it's a bit understandable why they'd be a bit gun shy. I actually purchased an Akiko figure intending to pop off the head and try using articulated icons ninja heads in its place. And if it worked, to get some extra akiko's when they get clearance dumped to paint the white different color variants so they can be assigned to a different color ninja team/clan. The various colors could also be like a female collage of MK ninjas. I thought it'd be a simple pop & swap, but the neck got mangled and then I saw vids about how the movie classifieds had different neck pegs than the other joe classifieds. I guess I should've used the hot water or blow dryer methods... but seeing this blue ninja set with multiple heads makes me think they've remedied their head pop/swap problem(s). I'm curios to know which and how many weapons.

So do you want the Super 7 Sunbow figure, the Classified kinda sorta classic figure, or Classified very close to classic figure? Sheesh! Wish we could get the definitive versions and move onto other characters.

On Hasbro Pulse you can get colour change Zartan in the UK, maybe you can import it?

Tydirium hanger you are in the okc area correct? if so are you seeing much on the bats & alley vipers? i havnt seen but one of each in the tulsa area

Reuse of assets is hardly new. The MOTU lines have done this for years.

Many rumored we’d get a Tiger Paw with Tiger Force Duke btw but like minds we don’t need another Snake Eyes or Zartan there’s a Host of untouched characters from Shipwreck GEN Hawk Serpentor Mutt n Junkyard etc. Perhaps Lenny and Squiggy Hasbro team are saving some goodies for Joe June...stay tuned!

where the fuck is serpentor! there are 4.5 billion different snake eyes wtf

I think you went overboard with the Hasbro hate in this video. You talk about how much Hasbro doesn't have faith in the line but applaud them for the looks of the zarana, dusty, bazooka, and recondo. plus we are getting the crimson guards and the twins. They have basically given us 6 new figures announced in the first quarter of the year. Then we add on the sgt slaughter figure which they had to pay a crap load for the license. Yet you said they don't money at Hasbro for this line. Just chill a bit! repaints were apart of the game even in the original line. We know we are getting mind bender and I'm sure we will get more announcements later this year. The sky is not falling

Crimson Guards is one of my all time favorites as a kid( I pre ordered 6). I never owned one. My neighbor had it. Took all my 8yr old might not to try to steal it lol. I was a good boy. Anyway, I always try to remain positive and not cry and bitch during the live stream, but I was groaning to myself for most of this last one. Repaints galore. They look good but damn, do that later! I am still waiting like most everyone else minus some big youtubers it seems for my Stormshadow. And now they are doing a even more retro one my childhood heart would die for, that not only won't come out for a while too but I'll probably never see at any Walmart near me. Only thing cool about the blue ninjas is the mask. So kinda tempted but we shall see. I could give a flying F#ck about Tiger Force and Python Patrol. I was at the age when those came out to start thinking that those were just dumb. So I am happy they are exclusive I don't need or want. I will wait for the more original looks. As for Slaughter. I really will never get why you all get so giddy over him. Again to me, I hit the age I guess where I thought he was just dumb and a jump the shark type character. I think it's because it reminds me of the movie and all the shit characters that were introduced with that and the total jumping the shark stuff. And all the neon and stupid colored garbage that followed. Sorry, I'm old a cranky now. Get off my lawn with your new aged neon joes and cobras! Zarana looks great. Dusty looks good. Head sculpt is awesome. His helmet looks a little big and weird shaped though. What Classified needs to also do is give us extra hands! two 24/7 trigger finger hands isn't cutting it. I hate posing some of these guys/girls and its like they got one crippled hand stuck in trigger position. Hoping Yo Joe June will make up for this last stream. Sorry If I offended anyone with my distain for certain stuff.

🥷🏻🙏Can we see your custom Zartan?

Just give me all the core Joes/Cobras from the first 50 or so issues of Marvel's Joe comic and I will be happy as long as they aren't hard to get exclusives. My wallet is already yelling at me from all my Transformers purchases and preorders.

Folk can like Valaverse and Classified.

I'd be more excited if Hasbro actually fixed their distribution problems . They can make all the announcements they want ,but if the product never reaches the pegs ,who gives a damm ? I'm still waiting for product that was released 2 years ago . Fix the REAL problem Hasbro.... Go ahead....I dare you

I didn't watched their stream. I'm not a fan of the figure... I still prefer the O-ringed classics for playability and nostalgia.

I’m all in on Super 7. So don’t need a lot of these

They ( meaning the 3 stooges) start off the live stream w/another Snake eyes? Not Sgt Slaughter? How is that possible? SMH. Another Zartan (future discounted peg warmer) when a re-release of SDCC Zartan would have been awesome. Of course that would have made GI JOE fans happy and we can't be having that after 3+ years of lack of direction from Hasbro.

Will this be another sigma 6 series?

Oh and how about Lifeline and Doc cant go to battle without a Medic C’mon Bruh Lol!

I do get a bit tired of the endless seeming “digital renders” sheesh.

Valaverse is shite.
