Since HasbroPulse con was yesterday (https://hasbropulse.com/collections/hasbro-pulse-con-2023), I was curious to see how each brand performed:
Numbers below are sold out products (I know, we don't know what are the initial number of available product for each).
GI Joe: 3 (Buzzer, Ripper & Hawk)
SW: 1
Transformers: 3
Marvel: 0
Power Rangers: 1
So, GI Joe still has a good fan base.
The general consensus right now in the action figure community is that Classified is killing it time and time again. It regularly seems to get the most praise online for what it is doing compared to the other big name brands. Hopefully that can last for a few more years.
Loved the panel yesterday, and loved everything they revealed.
Also I preordered, in store, the Crimson Strike Team exclusive at Gamestop today. I saw it online, but when I clicked on it, it said sold out. Since it only went up yesterday I knew that it would be available to preorder in store today. $132.99, but $119.99 with Edge discount. Plus a $15 was required. Still I am glad to get one set locally instead of having to go through Pulse.
Still a bit miffed I missed out on Chuckles, even though he was pricey. Hoping he gets a restock somehow.
