A local Walmart had about 30 of the first wave of the Snake Eyes movie figures. I don't see these flying off shelves. I have all three, I really don't like Storm Shadow. Mainly due to the color they chose for his outfit.
or have given up on Walmart stocking and have gone to Amazon or something.
I’m trying to understand the $229 price tag and how this is Haslab worthy?
So I’m not wrong to be questioning this project?At that price I would expect something closer to an actual 1:18 scale F-14 than the chibified Skystriker.

The entire o-ring run that is being introduced is new. All new tools all around, likely due to the move to Vietnam for manufacturing. Even the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are new tools based on the originals.I’m sure it was answered in the panel, but is this a reissue, remold or something of the toy from 6-7 years ago? The one that cost around $50 from Target?
I’m trying to understand the $229 price tag and how this is Haslab worthy? Is it utterly massive compared to before? Surely raw materials hasn’t gone up 4-5?gold since then?
You'd think the product page would list some dimensions or something, considering that would be a huge selling point for Hasbro. Heck, they have the Rancor listed as "17.5 inches BUT IF YOU RAISE HIS ARMS UP HE'S EVEN BIGGER"I’m sure it was answered in the panel, but is this a reissue, remold or something of the toy from 6-7 years ago?

Pilot Scarlett is based on the Glenda figure from Argentina. https://www.yojoe.com/action/int/arg-glenda.shtmli find it amusing that the first stretch goal is touting a scarlett figure "Clad in the iconic flight suit she wore when she first burst onto the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero scene", which is an outfit she never wore (at least not that i remember. sure didnt wear it in the original 5 parter)
I think this HasLab thing really cements how little I understand the apparent actual GI Joe fandom. This is not the sort of thing that would entice me in the least to jump on -- from the "more expensive version of thing we've gotten a dozen times, just with more stuff" to some of that stuff being o-ring figures I have never really had any interest in. But again, I am likely faaaar on the periphery of the people they're actually trying to reach with this, so that just makes sense. It's not for me at all. I do hope it gets funded decisively, of course, so that it keeps the door open for more things.
I am likewise utterly lost with this push for o-ring Retros. I wasn't able to catch the stream due to work, and haven't gotten filled in, so idk if these are replacing the modern-sculpt Retros they were doing (which frankly were treading the same "who needs new ideas for the new tooling, let's just do the same damn stuff" ground anyway).
The Classified stuff looks really nice, especially Croc Master and that Tiger Force Outback.
