    Once again, Hasbro cheaps it with Flint’s arms and just goes with the same 3/4 sleeves as Duke instead of rolled up sleeves at the bicep. Figure looks great but that’s just a disappointing repeat from the 25th practice.

    and those two buffoons praising old figures sculpting, as if it was some new creation, is pathetic. Neither of those fools seem to know crap about the brand.
    Hasbro doesn’t own the Joe license, they own the IP and license it out. You don’t own a license, you get a license.

    Licensees that obtain a license to make Joe product are third party manufacturers of Joe product.

    This is a major win for me. For my main Joe shelf, All I need is a Shipwreck and I'm golden with my shelf.

    Now, can we please get some more unique Cobras?!?!

    Or they're more or less reading from a script that the marketing team gave them, and we saw them admit that their scripts were lame today

    I’d rather only have a couple of reveals that I have a chance of getting than an entire wave of exclusives that I will never see except on eBay.

    Wow, face sculpts look pretty bad across the board and regular looking soldier people are not what I’m into buying action figures of so I might just get Retro Commander and sit this round out for the rest. Maybe I’ll order Classified Lady Jaye but don’t really care about any of these besides the Commander. It’s funny they put in effort to make that funny looking shotgun. If they were going to give Flint something other than a ray gun, should have done something that looks better.

    I'm just now seeing this. Flint and Lady Jaye look decent enough, I guess...but those head sculpts are still pretty meh. At least Lady Jaye got the low cut v-neck and the popped collar...needs bigger tatas, though.

    Yes, that is what I meant, but was typing too fast to pay attention. They are going to pimp out the franchises they own.

    Is she a porn star or a soldier?

    Face sculpts look fine to me. Lady Jaye looks like Lady Jaye and Flint looks badass, as he should. Not sure what more you need. It could just be due to the low res pictures though.

    EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you mean now that there are high res pics.
