DSTZach Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Should be soon. I think retailers started taking orders on Oct. 6, so I would think that Diamond would have started receiving orders by now. They'll be in Previews at some point.

elhonez Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I am very much looking forward to announcements for waves 2 & 3 -- when are these (lineups and/or art) going to land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Wave 2 is Destro, Baroness, CC and SS. Wave 3 is all Joes, Wave 4 all Cobras. I assume once Series 1 lands, we will get pre-orders out for Series 3, but I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 any hints as to who is in Wave 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribble_WC Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hopefully Shipwreck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I am hoping for Flint and Lady Jaye in wave 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 i think flint and lady jaye are shoe ins. bazooka and shipwreck would be my hope for the other two slots. that's assuming these are going to go in some kind of order. the ninja set was a surprise just because those were later designs than i was expecting we'd be at by now. for villians i'm just praying we get firefly in the next wave.

Navaan Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Gonna guess... Flint, Lady Jaye, Gung Ho, Shipwreck. Then- Firefly, Tomax or Xamot with pieces to make the other, ad a Viper and a trooper. My guess is Zartan with Torch,Buzzer and Ripper as a set,someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not including who we know we are getting, here's my personal top 5 for each side... some not likely at all. My top 10 list changes all the time, so these are the guys I'm feeling right now... The Joes: The Cobras: 1.Gung Ho 1. Firefly 2.Airborne 2. Major Bludd 3.Snowjob 3. Big Boa 4.Doc 4. Cobra Eels 5.Torpedo 5. Snow Serpent Biggest longshot ; Starduster Biggest longshot: Cobra De Aco I'm hopeful the Dreadnoks show up as a 4-5-or 6 Pack. Torch is my favorite Nok, but I I'd have a hard time just having one of them. So. its all or none for me on them. -Nerv I'm sure in five minutes I'll want to tinker with this list, lol. Too many great characters on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 love this list but truth be told -- they can basically do no wrong by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Everyone doing their favorites that they would like but me being from England I have to put my hand up for prob some obscure Joe enemies. Baron Ironblood and the Red Shadows. I think they are still counted as Joe figures as they where a spin of from Joes in The UK called Action Force. These guys where my main enemies for my Mego Pocket Hero figures back when I was a kid So at least my Little Mego Figures had someone to fight.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Any chance Zach that future releases will have backpacks like the old toys did? It is one thing that is really missing in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Hopefully waves 3/4 adopt the VHS format packaging and come soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And without holes in their backs, they'd need to use straps, which the characters didn't always have, you know? But never say never! I'm just happy they come with character-accurate guns!

But never say never! I'm just happy they come with character-accurate guns! Theoretically, would it be possible to engineer holes in the back of the chest blocks? Or is that a limitation due to the way the chest blocks are constructed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I think it would start to either weaken the neck, or compromise the waist peg hole, or both. There may also be more moving parts involved in the tool, since it's a horizontal insert, rather than a vertical one. Not sure. BUT I'm sure it was considered.

buttheadsmate Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Chest blocks / torso blocks seem to be an area that 'the powers that be' don't wish to be too ambitious with . That said there are exceptions to my perception /that rule but not too many I can actually think of ....can you ? I actually typed my reply before I saw Zach's comment ... I leave my opinion.

DSTZach Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Full disclosure: I have zero power. A possible solution would be to give each backpack a neck loop, but then everyone has a big neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd even be fine with it being like the piece that attaches the Wasp's wings. I personally would rather have no backpacks than a big gaping hole in the torso block.
