Looks like 3A GIJOE is coming.......

[EVILFACE]

Those are ThreeZero, this is ThreeA which are based off Ashley Wood designs.

 

[Warpig]

Why can't anyone make classic designed Joe?

Gentle Giant did and no one cared.

 

[karamazov80]

But there's a difference between figures made with modern technology in a classic style, and very large reproductions of original toys.

 

[King Darkness]

Seriously. Where are the masses of collectors who insist that they don't want classic Joes? Don't the Masters of the Universe Classics, and Masterpiece Transformers lines tell these companies anything?

MotU-Check
Transformers-Check
Thundercats-Check
Voltron-Check
G I Joe- NOPE!

What the eff?

I've heard the excuse for years, G I Joe fans are cheap or unwilling to pay for high end dolls, well there has yet to be a company to produce true RAH designs in the high end market, so until someone does, I don't agree with that. I just don't buy the idea that every 80's property known to man has a consumer group willing to pay except G I Joe.

If there is a market for interpreted nonsense, then there must be one for classic designs also.

Yep. Pretty absurd.

"$1500 for an AFA Snake Eyes w/Wolf? Sure! But $200 for a state of the art 12 inch classic Snake Eyes? Unthinkable!"

Never go full Sio Bibble.

 

[karamazov80]

Damn you with your Lord of the Rings references, Khev! That has no place in a GI Joe thread!

[EVILFACE]

The Optimus doesn't look too bad. I guess you could trust them to make BATS, Armored Cobra Command and Deep Six...

 

[EVILFACE]

Optimus. If they make a Megatron or Shockwave to go with him, I'd prolly spring for em.

 

[teemu]

Gentle Giant did and no one cared.

because they started off with straight arm crap and some of the most boring styled characters of GI Joe...they should of started with a mix of 83,84 and 85

like Storm Shadow,Zartan,Destro etc

 

[YoNoSe]

This is perfect for everybody who was like, "I'd buy HT Optimus if he was slightly more angular."

 

[karamazov80]

One of the best scenes in the movie, for sure.

This is perfect for everybody who was like, "I'd buy HT Optimus if he was slightly more angular."

Proportions remind me of a popular cartoony style in the late '60s/early '70s.

 

[YoNoSe]

If only the Ark was yellow.

Is that better

And then showing no signs that they were going to go past 5 figures. I had my money tucked away ready to throw at them if i saw some signs that they would carry on with at least the whole series 1 range.

 

[snakeeyes171]

Optimus. If they make a Megatron or Shockwave to go with him, I'd prolly spring for em.

Yea I like that Optimus prime. I may have to get this

 

[Kibagami]

Optimus. If they make a Megatron or Shockwave to go with him, I'd prolly spring for em.

Isn't it **** that they made Optimus look exactly like its cartoon counterpart? I guess we have to wait and see their GI JOEs.

 

[Kibagami]

After looking at their prime more and more; I'm starting to have some hope for their GI JOE figures. Again, we have to wait and see.

 

[StealthFox]

Maybe they'll make a proper Destro.

 

[EVILFACE]

They might roll out a good BAT or Techno-Viper.
