your not going to the Con. you can afford the flint as a cobra, nam.
Return of the 25th anniversary??? hopefully yes!
First and foremost, the SDCC Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter! No images were shown, but comments from the Hasbro rep confirmed that he would contain all new tooling, and the mail away deco (with the USA on his shirt and plain green outfit) would be the primary release, while the version that piloted the TTT (with the black tank top and camouflage pants) would be the “variant”. It was not specifically stated how rare it would be, but they did assure us that we shouldn’t be worried about another Gold-Headed Destro.
But that’s not all for the vintage fans… according to Hasbro reps, a lot of the store exclusives through 2010 will call back to the past, and will have some strong 25th Anniversary influences. They understand and appreciate the rich history and culture of G.I. Joe, and plan to pay tribute to that by giving us some great vintage homages sprinkled throughout some store exclusives in 2010. In fact, I mentioned two names specifically, Low Light and Dial Tone, and while the Hasbro rep would not confirm anything, he did smirk in a way that makes me think that they know what many collectors are looking for, and are hoping to take advantage of a non-movie year to deliver something in several different styles from several different eras, if you catch my drift.
Now it’s a non movie year, so of course, we won’t see a ton of product exclusive on store shelves, but it sounds like what we do see will make the old schoolers pretty happy. More information at JoeCon, I’m sure.

I agree, but it seems like an easy figure to do(just need roll up sleeves on the cobra uniform). I could see them making it, but SS could have something else in mind.

I thought it was a good idea..even if its not a sdcc exclusive. whatever the sideshow sdcc exclusive is...i hope its a Cobra character.
Not sure if I can get back into the 25th Joes at this point, but. . .I'll wait and see what Hasbro comes up with.
This is probably the most promising post I have seen come from anyone at ToyFare regarding the Joe line, in regards to what my wishes are. I simply wish to only continue the 25th line and get the rest of my favorite characters from my childhood. Which is the exact reason I started collecting the SideShow joe line, to collect more RAH.

I'm more than certain that there'll be plenty of other stuff revealed at SDCC that'll warrant my hard earned cash. Hell, from Sideshow alone.It looks more like just vehicle revamps (like what Star Wars is doing) with ROC-style remakes of the included figures. Don't get your hopes up too high.

That's awesome how they went with a realistic body vs. the cartoon one.

Would be better for a cartoon version. Neat they added a wrestling belt lol.

IMO, it fits better with the 25th Anny line though, since they're slightly updated from the originals.
He looks soft to me and I don't just mean fat. I mean the tank doesn't have any details to it. No folds or creases or anything. I would have prefered the cartoon build to the flubber he looks like because of the smooth tank.
I'm sure I'll be standing in Hasbro's line of Hell for something else anyway so I'll be grabbing him for sure.
