So do we think Ninja Force will be the “theme” for Target next year? Wonder what those two two-packs will be . . .

In a word? Apeshits.

DId some organizing of my Joes and Cobras today, and did the headswaps on the cops I was planning on.

Heads and necks of OG figures on everyone but the otherAfrican American head (Heavy Duty's went right on the neck no problem).
Left to right:
Joe that came with the green motorcycle & side gun (a little glue in the base of the neck socket)
OG cop (with helmet)
TF Outback
Heavy Duty
(I think) Ultimate Cap ML unmasked head (a little glue in the head socket)
first Rock & Roll with the tats
Law (a little glue in the base of the neck socket)
OG cop (with helmet)

Seriously though... Scarlett with Snake Eyes makes all the sense. Storm Shadow with someone like T'Jbang or Dojo?

A Snake-Eyes/Scarlett two pack would be a major coup for an exclusive. Thing would sell like crazy.
I wonder, through, if they will be willing to put two “A list” characters together like that. We may see more like Scarlett/T’jbang, Storm Shadow/Banzai, with Snake-Eyes (and Night-Creeper) saved for individual releases.

Yeah, Night creeper 2 has to be an easy one to get out now.

Could arguably be produced with zero new parts, depending on how they want to do it.

. . . but they better not put that in a two pack. Unless they wanna 1) make up some Joe army-builder ninja (which could be cool) or 2) pack him in with a Red Ninja or Ninja Viper.

That would sell even better than Scarlett & Snake Eyes

I was watching The Full Force Podcast and Chris said that the Hydro-Viper will come with Manta Ray. So if he isn't a deluxe release we might be getting pooched on what comes with the Hydro-Viper. Then again they made Wet-Suit a regular release and he had a good accessory count. Just wonder if he is a regular release will the Manta Ray be a static piece?

I'd be fine with Hydro-Viper as a regular release and just a static manta. Not much I expect them to do with a manta anyway.

I might fucking kill someone. Making them Target exclusive can also make them essentially US exclusive. MAYBE they'll come to Canada EB, and if so it -might- be much later than it hits in the US. It's a mystery!

But at the same time, I would love to see them crank through most of Ninja Force in a year. I would commit many crimes for a redo Storm Shadow with T'Jbang. Bushido and Snake Eyes. Scarlet and Banzai. Along with Zartan, that basically rounds out the Ninja Force figures I really want.

I always hated the Ninja Force Night Creepers. But I wouldn't mind if they wanted to sneak a v1 Night Creeper Leader into this scenario. He's top ten for me.

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been saying it for years and my buddies would always tell me I'm wrong. Keel-Haul and Almond Joy were always my favourite two Joes from the OG13. I was always a little sad when Gung-Ho replaced Keel-Haul as the resident Marine on the team. I also wished that they would have made a Sparks figure because I wanted to have Almond Joy and Sparks teamed up on the battlefield ensuring the Joes always had comms.

It was also a bit of a shame when they decided that Snake Eyes should be a commando and not a Ninja.

Oh the memories........

sneak a v1 Night Creeper Leader

Yup, we need him. Desperately. In that glorious v1 Tang orange.
And he needs to come with a DIC NCL head and shoulder pads to put in a basic Night Creeper.

I was trying to find if there were any other Native characters from the Joes I was forgetting about a while back. Google AI (before I'd blocked it with a Chrome extension, cos fuck that noise) informed me that there were four Native American Joes: Duke, Stalker, Tunnel Rat, and Low Light.

Anyway, what I love about the internet is who needs AI when there is ABSOLUTELY a grown-ass man who has obsessively documented the exact topic you're looking for, accurately, on his own website or on Reddit or something and he's more accurate than the computer-generated answers.
