THE_CRIPPLER

Any pictures of your 3D printed vipers? I have a guy offering to print G.I. Joe vehicles for me. He can do a HISS, Fang, Wolverine, Trouble Bubble, etc. $30 for a 3D printed HISS sounds like a good deal to me. I just wasn't sure how low to reduce the file so that Minimates fit (file is for 3 3/4 figures). He currently increases the size and prints them for G.I. Joe Classified figures.

Oh boy. People are going to be pissed if they are just repaints of existing characters. We already have two Snake Eyes, Storm Shadows, Cobra Commanders, and Scarlett. I'm cool with it if it is Commando Snake Eyes, Arctic Storm Shadow, etc.

I can't wait for the SDCC reveal, plus the reveal of waves 3 and 4. I hope we get some kind of trooper in one of those sets though. Can you tell us Zach if the SDCC set will be all new characters and how many are in that set?

What does this mean Zach? Does it mean that the SDCC set could be based of the cartoon or am I way off in what you are saying? Possibly you are just talking about the packaging for the SDCC set?

Yeah, I hope they don't completely stop with the plastic. I want to be able to see what I am buying. I see way too many posts of Classified figures that have been returned to stores and the figure has been swapped out with some random figure, many times not even a G.I. Joe Classified figure.

You must have missed this Wasp from the Avengers box set. I am still waiting for them to make a Wasp in her black and gold outfit. I think that was her best look. Hail Ivan!

Any chance a character like Zartan would come with his swamp Skier? It would be small, not as small as the goblin glider but still pretty small.

I never read any of the Young Avengers books. They just didn't interest me. Then again, most Marvel comics don't interest me. If you told me 15 years ago that I would no longer enjoy any of the X-Men comics I would have called you a liar. Unfortunately it has come true. The only Marvel comic that I am currently enjoying is Moon Knight. The Devils Reign event is pretty good too. The Necrosha story line is the last X-Men story I enjoyed. The stories just aren't fun anymore, Thankfully the Spawn comics have been great so far. I'm really enjoying Gunslinger after not really liking him when he was first introduced.

Jim Lee era X-Men gold team and then blue team. I would love an update of them. A Midnight Sons set would be awesome too. Dan Ketch Ghost Rider, Blaze, Blade, Morbius, Lilith, and either Centurious or Zarathos.

When is the official announcement Zach? I cant recall what thread you posted the date in.

Definitely need accessories if it is a wrestling line. Most wrestlers are kinda plain looking these days. Give us belts, chairs, ladders, tables, kendo sticks, etc.

Zach are these going to continue to have sets specifically for G.I. Joe and then the next set will be Cobra or will you guys be mixing Cobra and G.I. Joe together? I also think we all would be fine if the packaging was more simple like the Transformers minimates. Just put the file cards on the back 9or include them inside) and we will all be happy.

So who does everyone want to see in the third 4-pack? I would assume that it will be a G.I Joe set followed by another Cobra set. I would love Stalker, Gung Ho, Flint, and Tunnel Rat. Then for the 4th four pack (Cobra) I would love Zartan, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch.

Add this Baroness variant and I would be down for it.

Any word on when the SDCC set will be revealed Zach?

I would be happy with either AEW or WWE. AEW for their current roster and WWE for all of their legends. Plus we could then potentially get a Sergeant Slaughter for our G.I. Joe minimates.

Any chance you can post pics for all of us to see? Im not a big fan of MCU minimates but these two sets were definite buys for me. I would love to see how they turned out.

There are 3D files out there for G.I Joe vehicles. I have seen Vamp, Hiss, Zartan's Swamp Skier, Cobra Devilfish, Cobra Trouble Bubble, etc. You just have to resize the file to make them smaller for Minimates. I was talking to a guy that said he would print me a Hiss for minimates for $30. I may take him up on it. Vehicles would be awesome for this line.

The only thing that bothers me about these new boxed sets is that I usually buy some extra sets for customs. I just can't justify buying another set for $50 just to get an extra character or two that I need for a custom. I guess I will be buying what I need off ebay from now on.

It's nice of you to share your background with us. You looked great in the ring and did fantastic selling the moves (something that wrestlers seem to forget to do a lot of times these days). Too many spots being done in my opinion and not enough ring psychology. I'm sure you have plenty of cool stories from wrestling over the years too.

So now the bigger question is what is Mister Miracles name in the wrestling biz? Were you always a manager or were you also a wrestler at one point? I have been a wrestling fan since the early 80's and would love to know.

I have no problem paying the higher price for this set. I just won't be able to afford to buy multiple sets of them. I think two, possibly three is going to be my limit. I hope after wave one and two that they will go back to the normal blister 4-packs like the Transformers sets. I am completely fine paying $30 for a four pack. The prices of just about everything have gone up here in the U.S. due to Covid and stupid choices made by our government.

Is Luke able to offer the animated X-Men minimates sets? They would obviously sell well. I just don't know what the production amount would have to be for Luke to be able to offer them. Have you guys tried to get Target or Walmart to sell them lately? They both have collectible areas in their stores.

Don't forget Firefly in your list. He is one of my favorite Cobra members. Also will any of these figures include backpacks like a lot of the original 3 3/4 line had?

I think you could sell out an army builder pack of Cobra troops. 3000 wouldn't be that hard for this line. G.I. Joe collectors buy lots of Cobra Troopers. Some people buy 10 or more of them for their collections. A 2-pack with a Cobra Trooper and a Cobra Officer would be great. Just change the Cobra insignia from red on the trooper to silver on the officer and you would be set. Maybe also different weapons for each one too. I collect the G.I. Joe Classified line. I have multiples of Cobra Infantry, Cobra Troopers, Vipers, and Red Ninjas. I will be buying numerous B.A.T.s and Alley Vipers too when they come out. You can't display Cobra Commander without having an army around him. I'm just saying that people love to army build Cobra troopers and I think you could easily sell 3000. 500 would sell out quickly.
