SDCC 2026 Panel Coverage: Mattel WWE

I dont think its missing anything except a pack in figure. Making him separate is ridiculous, especially given its $125. Its 21 long and 12 tall which sounds absolutely huge given its 2 figures tall, so maybe the price is fine. I still prefer the driver be there given historical inclusion of drivers/operators with their vehicle (including Classified).

All the pieces are there and its modular so you can customize it. The front end is a tad different since the original was a licensed component but it looks pretty much the same to me. I dont like the enlarged launchers on top but those thats about it. I think it turned out better then thatinitial render we received way back when.

I just ordered mine

I can only assume there will be a single carded release of Thrasher whose release will just happen to coincide with when this starts shipping...

Thrasher was announced as a separate figure in San Diego, so I think that would be a very safe assumption.

Yeah, I have the same reaction - for me it's the way that it seems to narrow into a wedge at the front, which just isn't how I envisage the design from the old toy or comic. It looks nice enough, but that narrowing makes it seem less imposing to me. That said, I still want it, even though I'm not a big Dreadnok fan. It's certainly a good centerpiece to the Dreadnok collection.

I'll not only be surprised, but I'll come back here at the end of next year and personally apologize to Jscott991 for being wrong if there's no Jinx on retro cardback without tattoos by then.

I'm not going to get into a back and forth on this issue, so I'll just say I think you're right we will get a real Jinx figure next year.

And I doubt it will have tattoos because she will have long sleeves.

My son will love that thing. He picked up road pig a while back. Giving him a ride that ridiculous will surely be on his radar. But that price tag is proof once again there was never a reason to charge 350 for the Charger haslab.?

Tattoos have become extremely common in the US military, and from what I've read, a majority of enlisted personnel have at least one. And a majority of Joes in Classified do not have them. I don't see why some people act like that's the case. I also don't see how Jinx getting an almost full sleeve tattoo of cherry blossoms (that doesn't touch her elbow and therefore bugs the hell out of me) makes her a "Dreadnok reject," but I can understand someone not liking the figure because it's different from what came before. I don't totally get it, because Classified is not and never was supposed to be just the '80s line but scaled up, but regardless, 2027 retros will celebrate the 40th anniversary of GI Joe: The Movie, which introduced Jinx. I'll not only be surprised, but I'll come back here at the end of next year and personally apologize to Jscott991 for being wrong if there's no Jinx on retro cardback without tattoos by then.

As for the car, I don't collect Dreadnoks at all, but I do like how customizable this thing appears to be. I won't be getting one, but I do think it's cool for what it is.

Not me. Lenny's obsession with the Dreadnoks and even making normal Joes (Jinx) look like Dreadnok rejects is one reason I've dramatically cut back on my Joe purchases. I wish they would get back to Cobra v. G.I. Joe and take a harder look at the A-list characters that have never been released in a widely available form.

Hey you and me, I really don't need the amount of Dreaknok jazz we are getting, and so much of it just feels a wee bit tacky, Mad Max looking Ed Hardy wearing tattooed guys, so bad ass, so rough and rugged LOL, nah, it's a bit much, I'm good if I don't see another Dreadnok for years at this point, Also I didn't really think of the whole someone is trying to make these other characters look dreadnoky, with the bad tattoos.

Sure I like Dreadnoks.

I don't need a 80's Heavy Metal band worth of guys in Stupid stage costumes on my shelf, thanks.
