I fully expect him to happen as an exclusive of some sort. I’d really like to see the Wiper (“the Viper is coming”) at some point too. Cold Slither proved some of those ridiculous cartoon episodes can make some fun figures.

It’s only a matter of time before we get a suited body. It would have so many uses - Dr. Venom, Crimson Twins, Cobra Commander, Hector Ramirez, and Risk just to name a few.

Someone mentioned a bit earlier that a potential issue is the Pulse Website not functioning properly. I just went to place an order for some in-stock figures last night (near midnight my time) and got that error message that the site was experiencing high traffic and to try again later. Yeah...

You and me both! Those Ghost Vipers are really speaking to me too. Want at least one with each head. If by chance they hit sales or clearance maybe even a few more.

Yeah, I would have thought they figured out during the great Haslab apocalypse where they had the Skystriker, Rancor, and Proton Pack ending within days of each other to never do overlapping Haslabs again. Doesn’t take a marketing degree to learn that lesson and not repeat it. They must have...

I’m also not sure what pivots or back up options Hasbro can do. If they ‘take it back to the drawing board’ before the campaign ends, can they bring it back later at a different (ie lower price) without people calling foul? Maybe if it’s in a post tariff world? Otherwise it confirms our thoughts...

Yeah, this one isn’t looking good numbers wise. The price is the biggest thing. Star Wars stuff has been overpriced for a while now and this is no exception. If this squeaks through, I doubt it hits all those Jedi tiers, making it even less of a value. I could see this pulling a a Rancor toward...

They confirmed for Scooby-Doo they will be doing all 5 main characters and 10 monsters. Scooby will have two face sculpts. https://toynewsi.com/247-59196

I actually think the Kickstarter route is a brilliant marketing move. Even established gaming companies are doing that because of the exposure Kickstarter offers. There is a GI Joe Risk board game on there now just for that reason. Hasbro can easily make board games but Kickstarter has that...

Negative numbers has to be a first for a classified Haslab. Not a great sign. I have no doubt it will still fund, but I am starting to worry about the tiers now. Not getting Flint and his food items would be a real tragedy. Starting to feel they got a bit cocky with this one based on past...

I could see Glenda being one and done as she was based on an international figure and not a main character like Wild Bill. The Night Force versions were certainly picked for the reason of reissuing those characters in their normal looks and Wild Bill in his cartoon colors. Cobra Commander was...

Red shirt Shaggy and darker brown Scooby seem like no brainer variants down the line that could be pure paint changes, not unlike their P2 Street Fighter figures. If they could throw in at least a new accessory that would be great. Stuff like that could extend the line for a bit without getting...

Any figure that has been done previously in the history of GI Joe is fair game to be made in Classified. Basically, not off the table but no confirmation of happening anytime soon.

Yeesh, not good. You’d think they would have learned by now to NEVER have overlapping Haslabs again. I get SDCC is a big event to show these off in person but you really can only have one that gets that spot. Now we’ve got campaigns cannibalizing each other again. Sigh.

The Republic Gunship is one of my favorite vehicles so a modern version was a nice surprise. Not sure I agree with the tiers on this one (Coleman was dead even before the Gunships landed) but new versions of cool looking Jedi are nice to get.

Yeah I need at least one with each head so that’s like 4 there. Maybe another for a Crystal Ball Cthulhu head. Sheesh!

Ghost Viper looks amazing! Love when they try something new and it works! Crystal Ball is shaping up to be one of the cooler figures in a while now.

The panel is today so there could be a lot of excitement and build coming out of that. Plus, having gone to the con in years past, if I could hold of from doing something until I was back, I would. Between the con being an overwhelming experience and spotty internet services many might wait...

More stock is coming, this was just the first drop. The next will be after the con.

Feels like these NPCs are what shart was trying to do with his ‘street humans’ but done better.

Based on the color, I’d say those are illusions made by Crystal Ball, another Walmart exclusive so that may be to tie a loose story together between them.

I had the same problem with the auto renew. I got the ‘success’ email and then about an hour later a ‘payment failed.’ Message. I couldn’t update payment per the email instructions so I contacted pulse. About 2 weeks later it auto-cancelled the order and THEN pulse finally got back and said they...

Seems like the cold slither set sold out in under a minute. Not really sure how but I managed to get one in that timeframe. This was just the first drop, likely very limited stock set aside from the con. 8/1 should be the next drop, I believe.

There is always that tricky balance of getting things done quickly but also saving things to keep the line going longer. I don’t feel there is any shortage of cool monsters for them to do though. Honestly they could get to the point it’s just 3 monster waves and I’d be happy with that if we have...

Daredevil is not looking good there. That goatee vs full beard looks bad.
