    I'm hoping they reveal more soon. We've seen some of the people based on the poster design, but I'm excited to see what they've done with others like Lady Jaye, Lifeline, Flint, and just literally any Cobra soldier (seriously, I may start army building with them). Wonder when they'll show off Destro and new Snake Eyes. Hopefully more will be shown off at the same time.

    Show me the Alley-Vipers and the Red Ninjas! :D 

    We know you got 'em! They are in the poster. Do it. Do it now!

    You know, now would be a good time to rerelease this figure:

    You wouldn't want the entire MP cast but Prime and Megatron to go along with your 1:12 Joes would be all right.

    Well I sure hope everyone who wanted the Pulse exclusive Snake Eyes got one because he's sold out now.

    I can't tell you how many times I've been tempted to try to put together a Joes/Transformers display in proper scale. It's sooooo tempting.

    So if the Joe line sells well I wonder what the chances are that someday we'll get Transformers/GI Joe crossover figures.
    My world demands a Thundercracker Rattler! :)

    Thank you. I am curious if the retail version will come with Timber.

    I think the regular Rattler might be my most wanted GI Joe vehicle that I never had, but yeah, a Thundercracker/Rattler would be pretty cool too!

    As far as almost or about 10 years ago, the possibility was extremely low. Management has changed hands on both brands since so who knows.

    Still much love for the HISS tanks. Or fear... they remind me of Cobra's version of the panzer.
    The mass producing of death machines.

    The H.I.S.S. was/is my favorite of all the Joe vehicles. With the 25th anniversary line, I picked up all the colors multiple times. Having the space for all of them? That's a different story...

    Besides the HISS and Trouble Bubble I'd take a 1/12 Thunder Machine.

    That Prime looks cool but for $300 I'd need more pics to order. The face seems weird.

    They’re so intimidating & empirish looking, tall like black iron curtains while not taking up much space.

    Plus that 80s blast effect ...

    And soon we shall have tiny versions......no work desk shall be safe from the coming tiny battles.

    I do have to say though that I absolutely love the fact that the Hiss II looks like an absolute upgraded beast but still retains that sleek look of the hiss.

    Love the troop storage capability of the HISS II, the colors and extra firepower. Overall a more fun toy to play with for me.

    It had weapon storage...........okay younger me would have flipped out at that. To bad they never released a version in the classic Hiss colors though.
