Strider Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Thanks! They look great and my order is in. Hopefully series 3 and 4 consist of all new characters. There are way too many Joes and Cobras to have half of each wave be version 2.0s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I believe Series 3 and 4 are all-new characters. I know one of my favorite Cobras is in Series 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Why is there so much of a price difference between transformers and gi joe? @DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 My guess is the special packaging or due to the license stipulations because it looks like there are more new molds with Transformers versus GI Joe. It’s totally a guess though.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transformers is a simple blister pack. We considered doing Joe in a blister pack, as well, but the temptation to do carded Minimates for the first time, especially for such an iconic carded brand, was just too great. Hope it doesn't put too many people off the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Will there be an opportunity for single minimates or 2-packs with this single carded aspect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see this. Ao much nostalgia if I actually saw them on the pegs at a store like this. Also I would be good with 4-packs on a blister cards like Transformers. Just as long as they include file cards for each character. I don't understand how something like this and the Transformers Minimates aren't at Walmart or Target. The crappy micro metal G.I. Joe figures were at them and as far as I know sold poorly. These would do great though in my opinion. People are loving the G.I. Joe Classified line. Put these on a peg next to them and people would gobble them up. They are a lot cooler than the over priced G.I. Joe Reaction figures that I see sitting on the pegs at Target.

Hope it doesn't put too many people off the line. Maybe I'm alone in this, but for any old-school G.I.Joe fan to not want single carded figs, sounds crazy to me. The card art, to me and my brother at least, was all part of the fun. We'd stare at them (front and back) for hours picking out who our favorites were, and who we thought the silhouetted characters could be for the next waves. It was a lot of fun. We aren't getting a lot of mates at the moment, so i'm perfectly fine with paying an extra ten bucks. These look awesome to me. My only gripe is that the card art isn't in the form of a minimate. I asked DonnyB many years ago if he'd be interested in replicating the card art for me for my Joe customs, because i thought it'd look awesome. I know I'm happy, and can't wait to see the next few waves and hopefully get a few vehicles down the road! Cheers! your pal, Nerv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to do single cards as con exclusives, but we'll have to see. Not a lot of two-packs in the works in general, although we have some designed for the mystery license. Crystal ball is great, but I prefer the original mind-bender... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I backed it even though originally I wasn't going to. It turned out even better than I was expecting so I couldn't pass it up. I just hope we get one more character as part of the stretch goals.

It is a four-pack, three are Joes in new outfits. Wait, not Dawn Moreno, right? I think she started out as a Cobra agent, but maybe she started as a Cobra citizen, I honestly cannot recall.

Only reason they are successful is they are cheap as heck to make, and once the license is paid for, they just make easy money with the sheer volume. Personal opinion, but I would much rather pay for non-retro styled figures in the 4" range of TMNT, Universal Studio Monsters, etc at $30 bucks a pop, as opposed to 'barely moves' figures at $20.
