Movie toy line thoughts/ideas?
« on: December 13, 2011, 10:27:27 AM »

So with the trailer released we get a nice look at what is coming.  The question now is what do you think/wish we will see from Hasbro?

Here is what I think/wish so far:

FIGURES

JOES:

Joe Colton - battle fatigues, civilian clothes
Lady Jaye - massacre fatigues, battle fatigues, civilian clothes, red dress (wishful thinking)
Roadblock - massacre fatigues, battle fatigues, civilian clothes, wrestling trunks (kidding)
Duke - massacre fatigues
Flint - massacre fatigues, battles fatigues, civilian clothes
Mouse - battle fatigues, civilian clothes
Jinx - training red dress w/blindfold, mountain gear (yellow)
SE - new look, jinx training, captured SE, battle w/SS

COBRA

CC - Escape CC (white outfit), standard outfit (blue w/helmet)
SS - CC rescue (no shirt), standard outfit, SE battle
Firefly - unmasked, masked
Red Ninja
Cobra Trooper
Zartan w/President disguise

RZA as Hard Master

VEHICLES

JOES

SE w/ Motorcycle
Air Transport (not sure which kind)
El Camino w/Joe Colton (what?  I can dream!)

COBRA

Water Moccasin w/Copperhead
Rattler w/Wild Weasel
HISS w/driver

So there are reports of the possible "preview" item up on Amazon.  Apparently it will be a 4 pack with SE, Roadblock, CC and SS.

Could be further confirmation of the shunting aside of Duke in this movie.

I just hope we get some really nice vehicles with new sculpts, as nice as it was to see all the vehicles in the trailer like the water moccassin, rattler, hiss scout, ram, I have a feeling most of these will be repaints or retooled versions of the ones we already have, which is ok, but I just pray for a few new ones.  The figures Im sure will be decent, Ill be cherry picking from those for sure, need me a Rock and John McClane, and Lady Jaye (drool).

You can bet it will be scaled back vs ROC.

We did see a hydrofoil in that trailer. I'm hoping for a beefed up version of the Water Moccasin.

That and more mole pods for Bandy.  ;)

I'm hoping for an array of medium sized vehicles at least that can carry a couple of figures, in other words "no alpha" vehicles.

I'm hoping that an updated mean dog will be part of the wave even if it's not in the movie. It's just the type of vehicle and playvalue that I'm looking forward to in this movie line.

Again with a shirtless Storm Shadow...
Seriously, someone at Hasbro really likes half naked ninja. So much that they even pushed it in the film.  ;D

I want a mountain side playset with hanging ninja.
I want a tube lab playset.
I want Snake Eyes' bike which will probably be the only vehicle I'll get.
I want an El Camino.

My bet is that we'll see those Captain America vehicle re-purposed for the  Retaliation movie line--even if they do not appear specifically in the movie.

Not up to me my friend. I'm no longer with the CJC staff. I'm just a regular member of the Joe Canuck community.  ;)

I definately want Roadblock, Flint, Lady Jaye, Joe Colton, Cobra Commander, Firefly and Jonatahan Pryce (President) as figures.  Jonathan Pryce would be even more awesome if it came with multiple heads so it could be a regular Zartan and the President.

I don't want a Duke figure.  There were too many Channing Tatum figures in the last line.  I bought them all and almost OD'd.

I think they'll just come out with 3 waves of figures.  Not like last time where it was 3 waves of 2 collections (the 4th wave never really hit here until TRU had it on clearance).

6 vehicles would be good.  2 small, 2 med, 2 large of 1 each Cobra and G.I. Joe.

I don't think that would be unreasonable for the line.  It would be small enough that Hasbro wouldn't be out too much if it's not successful.  If there is success they can just reuse some existing molds and crank out more vehicles and figures. 

I hope the new toy line is successful.  Retailers may be gun-shy because of the amount of toys they had to put on clearance, but it did all sell.  Not a lot showed up at liquidation or clearance stores.
