    Yeah, this is pretty crazy to go from zero Joe product post 2018 to now having 5-6 different lines to collect.

    I'm really curious to see how the three 12thish scale Joe lines will look together. My OCD will not allow me to mix lines anyway, but I would ideally like them to all look distinctly different. Like you know they're Joes but they are clearly made by different companies. I think that's how they'll end up anyway, Classified probably the most stylized, Mezco slightly stylized plus having soft goods, and hopefully S7 true to Sunbow.

    Anyway, great time to be a Joe collector.

    I think the Flame Toys Furai 1/12 joe kits may end up being the most styalized but closer to recognizable homages as opposed to complete redesigns that only share the same character names.

    It’s a clip from the Sunbow cartoon of a bunch of BATs walking forward with red/blue lasers

    Do we think that's a tease for their low-articulation 12" figure we've already seen? It's unlikely that a BAT would be the first reveal of an Ultimate line...

    Anyone have a classified Scarlett they would be willing to sell? Either version is fine.

    Yeah, but it could be a reveal of the finished product or something, not necessarily a completely new thing. What are the odds that the first two Joe products from S7 are two unrelated BATS? Seems weird.

    I think it would be pointless to build up hype for a product we’ve already seen. I’d be very surprised if the reveal is just the big BAT they’ve shown before

    I actually hope the S7 line is a little bigger than 1/12. Like their MOTU and TCats size. I prefer the bigger scale.

    If it's Ultimates it'll be the 7 inch size, I'd think the intention is to have them all scale together.

    Cool. That makes me more interested.

    Also that you can preorder a whole wave and not have to deal with Walmart and Target exclusives.

    Maybe, but it's equally weird to reveal two BAT products before anything else from the franchise. I don't know, I guess we'll find out. Maybe the head of product development has a BAT obsession. ;)

    Forgot about those, and yeah you're right, those will probably be the most stylized of them all. I'm really looking forward to those for some reason and I'm not even a model kit guy at all.

    Thanks.

    That'll be tough though, a $55 Ultimates troop builder.

    Interesting, I hope they flush out most of the Classified designs before or if they switch over to these animated designs.

    You could have Super7 be the leader and the eventual Hasbro being the army build.
