Its time for the next Joe!

[The Josh]

Great, Sideslows last interpretation of "very cool", gave us CCC.....

Well, I and I know many others that actually dig CCC. So they must have done a pretty decent job.

I am not surprised. The GI Joe line is all the way badass. I am surprised that they are not hitting it harder. I hope and assume that there is a good reason for it.

The line is totally badass and I'm sure SS has some great things in the works.

I wonder if SSC really did have the next figure ready right after SDCC but decided to wait on announcing it so that Flint's arrival wouldn't kill the buzz of a new preview....

 

[The Josh]

Possible but Beachead isn't super far off either.

I doubt that. They announce SW figures all the time while other are shipping. Plus as a kid who didn't get a new toy (Joe) and flip the back over to see what else was coming out or available? That marketting concept still works today.

 

[ProgMatinee]

not sure if khev meant this, but maybe SSC knew that Flint would really piss people off so they held onto the new announcement to sort of take our minds of the poor quality of Flint?

They want the freshest taste to be good, not bad.

You think they'd do the opposite. Announce a kickass figure to take the attention off of Mr. Hair Plugs.

So in other words wait until after Flint arrives before announcing the next figure? Is there an echo in here?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

No, beforehand. So that we're still all stoked when Flint arrives. So we'd look at flint, say "meh" (accept for Kara who'll need therapy), and rave about finally getting Stalker. Versus what's happening now. No Joe, then we get Mr. Hairplugs for Men. We'll still be stewing despite the new announcement.

Bring on the female characters . . .

Scarlet
Lady Jaye
Cover Girl
The Baroness

The COBRA half mermaid character from the cartoon series who was Shipwreck's love . . . heck, even Jinx or Zarana . . . maybe a variant of Scarlet as the 3.75" pilot figure?

I KNOW . . . I KNOW . . . just wishful wanting for now.

i think most people are "what have you done for me lately".

if I was ssc i'd much rather have the bad news out first and then try to make up for it with the good news.

I wouldn't. There's always the possibility you might not compensate for it. Much better to hit someone while they're on a high and kill the buzz a little knowing they can go back to gawking at a good thing afterward.

Pfffft....sideshow probably doesn't see anything wrong with Flint. his paint job is pretty much on par with the majority of their stuff. they don't seem to see a problem with it or they'd have fixed it by now.

I think the fact that we didn't see sans beret shots of Flint means they know there's something wrong with Mr. Hair plugs.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, I'd like to see a video of when they first pulled a sample out of the box.

 

[The Craw]

i'm sure Flint won't bother me once i have him in hand. just as long as i keep the beret on and don't stand nose to nose with him i'm sure he'll fit into the line quite well.

 

[The Josh]

The thing about the hair is there is no definition in it. It looks like its just a plain buzz cut. Not to mention the blending at the hair line. His lips look odd in the one close up we've seen and remind me of someone who isn't getting enough oxygen.

 

[MANDO]

If they just glued the berret on like Indy's hats would anyone have batted an eye?

 

[The Josh]

No probably not as far as that part goes.

 

[Khev]

Maybe not if they had just glued the beret over his entire face.
