GI Joe Retro Collection!

So Hasbro finally announced their Retro Collection yesterday! It’s a small wave that consists of Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Baroness, a Hiss Tank, and an Awe Striker. While most of this is stuff we have seen before (now packaged differently) it is still exciting to me. While the 6 inch Classified Line looks good, and I got the Convention Exclusive Snake Eyes, I just don’t think the 6 inch line will be for me. I might pick and choose a few figures here and there, I won’t really be buying many. The 3.75/4 inch line is where my heart is and not to mention they have VEHICLES!

I was able to secure a Hiss Tank, Storm Shadow, and Snake Eyes from Walmart on preorder but was unable to grab an Awe Striker or Baroness grrrrrrr. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to find them once everything is released in October. I’m also hoping everything won’t be Walmart exclusives because it makes it just that much harder to hunt down! Not to mention I like order from Hasbro Pulse and other sites when I can.

I think the figures they chose for the initial run are good and I’m looking forward to grabbing some vehicles I wasn’t able to grab in the 25th line. I still want a Mobat and a few others. I’m hoping we see a release of a lot of that stuff and hopefully some new vehicles and figures! I’m not really big on the figure packaging (but I’ll withhold final judgement until I have them in hand), but the vehicle packaging is top notch! But who keeps their figures in the packaging anyways?

Now if only Hasbro will do a GI Joe Haslab…. I still want that General! But I’d settle for anything right now!

Yo Joe!
