Ah way to kick things off! Now curious to see whether Timber will come with a Sunbow 85 Snake Eyes or ARAH 1985 toy Snake Eyes. Given the eyes, I’m thinking Sunbow!
Super7 releases some good stuff; I’d love to see their take on GI Joe figures. Hoping they release a classified scale Cobra BAT.
thanks that was post heating it up, had to pry it loose but it marred the plastic a bit, slapped it with a micro butane touch for a second to remove the marring. Opened a customer care complaint for him and Bludd. This is the 7th of 8th bad Classified figure I've received but the first time requesting a resolution. The others I kept sealed in their boxes.
Now I don’t feel so bad skipping the Classified Snake Eyes & Timber set. Yes, I know how expensive these will be, but I’m in for Sunbow.
That seems like a huge accessory to include with an Ultimates figure, unless he's going to be like Awakened Mummra or something (which did come with Ma-Mutt so maybe...)
They probably know they'll sell a shit ton of Snake Eyes, so that helps lol. Also I think their $55 price point gives them breathing room for accessories like this.
Part of me hopes whatever super7 puts out is slavish to sunbow because it will save me money. The cartoon wasn't the greatest thing to me as a kid.
Wow, that’s a beautiful Timber. Looks like I can easily skip the Classifieds one. Also I wouldn’t be completely surprised if Timber was his own release, with a bunch of accessories. In terms of size, mass and articulation he’s probably comparable to Ultimates Splinter. A $55 Timber is a bit hard to swallow though, even with a ton of extras.
There’s room, Hasbro was likely never going to go full on Sunbow, same with Mezco so that’s open for S7. Even when Hasbro made Sunbow homages in the 25th line they weren’t prevalent nor entirely accurate. Classified right now is veering back to basics similar to the ARAH approach but still with some modernization. Meanwhile Mezco goes more ARAH but moreso on their own way which doesn’t step on either toes. I’d rather see Hasbro license Joes out to companies who actually want to make joe toys rather than just keeping it to themselves because lord knows how long we’ve been wanting for a 6” joe line before they ended up making one. Benefits them since they bank on licensing fees, benefits us since we’ve been patient customers. Plus the licensees are going for stuff Hasbro probably would’ve never bothered with IMO.
Another sloppy painted trooper. Hasbro really put the rush order in for this latest wave of CI figures and it’s showing.
Could be Timbers…… in the DDP comics Timber’s puppies were in there during the beginning issues. Plus maybe S7 is going for DDP deep cuts since Hasbro hasn’t done anything with DDP in recent years aside from making Kamakura figures
