Though I can't get these figures now due to me waiting for Transformers R.E.D and Black series news. These figures are defiantly on my list. Especially that Snake Eyes.
I'm not very familiar or attached to GI Joe, so I told myself (and my wife) that I'd only get Snake Eyes and maybe the Baroness...but that red ninja looks very cool, and he comes with a bunch of accessories that I can give to Snake Eyes, and Gung Ho looks like he could go fine with some Aliens... Oh boy, here we go again...
Really like that Red Ninja, especially all the accessories. I'm picking one up to use as a elite Hand Ninja.

At the moment I have no problem with the exclusives being variants or repaints of regular figures, it is when new characters are offered in this way when I really get pissed.
Yeah Im a GI Joe completist so Im definitely not looking forward to them eventually creating these store exclusives. I ended up having to pay an arm and a leg for the Rise of Cobra Walmart sets just because I dont have a Walmart near me. And year after year when Im going through the lists of Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Seriesthat came out that year it always turns out I managed to get them all except for some of the Walgreens and Walmart ones (and Game Stop in the case of Star Wars). I really hate these retailer exclusives that arent also readily available online.

For sure. Personally Im just glad this line has yet to have any Walgreens or Walmart exclusives since those are always so randomly available online and have poor in store distribution to where a lot of regions even within the US never get them.

I mean thus far both of the 2 online/fan channel exclusives and the 2 pulse exclusives have been variants. Its only odd in the case of Storm Shadow since his standard release has yet to be revealed but that one is undoubtably going to be the more heavily sought after version compared to this one on Amazon based on his Version 3 Ninja Force costume.

Yeah 100% agree its a weird way of saying we arent selling this figure through big chain stores, but also makea different figure a store exclusive.

That is correct, so if you see it on Amazon it likely would be from a second party seller.
