New listings for G.I. Joe product have surfaced online via everestwholesale.com. These listings seem to be a mixture of collector oriented 6" Classified figures and non-Classified toys which we are going to assume are geared more for kids. These are also likely going to tie into the upcoming Snake-Eyes movie. Of course we should note that these are not confirmed by Hasbro and subject to change.
For 6" Classified figures, there are a total of 10 different listings, 5 of which we believe are for the first wave . The other 6 are likely for a second wave of figures and 3 of those appear to be movie based. The listings use code words as opposed to the actual character names, but when you see MV, we believe that is an indication for a movie based figure.
GI JOE - CS 6" FIGURE MV TARANTULA
E85155X0
We believe this is a movie based Snake-Eyes figure since it shares the same TARANTULA code name as the wave 1 Snake-Eyes.
GI JOE - CORE 6" NINJA FIG AST
HBGF01165L0
While these are listed as 6" figures, these will likely be less articulated and details than then the Classified figures. They may be a little shorter to.
GI JOE - CORE NINJA FIG AND VEHICLE AST
HBGF01355L0
We assume these will be 6" to go along with the 6" Ninja Figures listed above. Again something that will likely be geared more for kids, but perhaps cool enough to use with Classified figures???
I wish I had been smart enough to preorder these initial figures. Amazon Canada sold out, and don't know when they'll get more. The only place to where I can pay in Canadian dollars and not get raped by shipping costs. Lesson learned.
What? No Pimp-Daddy Destro!?! C,mon Hasbro, get some values!
I actually saw someone post a pic somewhere who did a photoshop job on the Destro figure making him look like Pimp-Daddy Destro. If I see it again I'll post it. Looked pretty good.
