battlecat Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) The characters in the sub are too obscure for me, although I'm curious to see how Cover Girl turns out. Also I gather that in order to buy a sub you first have to buy a membership for the club, which is kind of nuts. I am skipping Renegades figures though. Resolute was ok but the Renegades figures don't appeal to me. Not counting Airtight and other 25th style "Renegades". I'm not digging the more cartoony Renegades figs, but going by pics I think the upcoming Scarlett looks better than the 25th version, and Storm Shadow should hopefully be coming with that awesome 30th-style head to swap out. Plus anything that gets me a Law & Order is good with me! Edited November 3, 2011 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I couldn't care less about Slaughter's Marauders. The Dreadnoks however, those are made of pure love. And also candy mints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm not as big on the Mauraders either (especially with no Slaughter packed in), but I love the love they're giving the 25th style with all the new figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but from what I can gather on HissTank someone posted a leaked list before they started announcing the figures, which so far has turned out to be correct, and she was on that.

groundhog7s Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I'm looking forward to a Big Boa for some odd reason. Probably the same reason I want to see an updated Fridge figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I'd never heard of Sure Fire before, so I read his file cards on Yo Joe. Cool bio, specialty and background. I'm very excited he is on the list. Excited to see the rest except for maybe TNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I've never even heard of TNT-who is he? And is anyone else hoping for the 13th figure that's unannounced is Agent Fumbles from Robot Chicken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hooray! Jinx. And I would love a Trouser Snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've never even heard of TNT-who is he? TNT was a repaint of Blowtorch only available in Argentina. His military specialty was "desactivador de bombas". Check him out over at yojoe.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks. I had looked for him there, but didn't realize he was international. Now I can officially say I'm not that excited about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm not a big fan of these Renegade figures for the same reason I'm not into the Clone Wars action figures, but every once in a while they come out with a real winner. I will sometimes make an exception, For instance, I had to have Embo and Shaak Ti from the CW line, and I had to pick up this Duke. I absolutely love this head sculpt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think the Renegades figures look pretty cool (especially Duke), but I thought the show was horrible so I'm not interested. The collector club released a picture of TNT today. I have to admit I like the look of him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 They've just announced the 11th subscription figure and it's Cover Girl. I really can't believe it's taken this long for them to do an update of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 So Big Boa to be announced on Thursday? I hope the surprise 13th figure is Crystal Ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm looking to get rid of the Ultimate Battle Pack with the MOBAT & HISS. 99.9% certain it's MISB (not sure if I opened it to take Short Fuze out or not, but I'd put him back in if I did - I know for a fact that NOTHING else was removed if that was the case).

youbastards Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 That was a great set! I grabbed one on clearance at Target a few years ago, at the time Zap and Short Fuze were the only unreleased original 13 Joe's in 25th format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wave 3 is apparently out. Looking forward to adding Scarlett and Storm Shadow to my collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Okay, if anyone's interested, I did open it to take Short Fuze & the Cobra Gunner out, but nothing else was touched. I even left their little bubbles in there, so putting them back in will be a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Not directly related to these toys, but I recently picked this up after looking for a long time and am excited about it: It was actually not expensive or hard to find, but I didn't know that because I didn't know where to look. . .

youbastards Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Cool! That's from an old fold out magazine, right? Pretty sure I had that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Cool! That's from an old fold out magazine, right? Pretty sure I had that one. Yes, the 1985 GI Joe Magazine. And as for Barbecue. . .he's just a strange bird. Just look at that "Porkchop Sandwiches" PSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Clearly what we are seeing there is... MEGA-RAGE!!! BTW, the Dreadnok and Mauraders sets are up for preorder at BBTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
