It's a good time to be joe fan! The old designers are assembling to create new joes-like figures. Retelo is very nice and from a concept that was submitted (and politely rejected) in the 80s. It's great to see the steps on how joes were made.

THIS!!!
amazing opportunity that we probably won't see again in my lifetime. Hope the fans support.

Looks great, and you can't beat the team behind this idea.
Big thing will be the price, and possibly Hasbro.
With prices the way they are now at regular retail, I hate to think what they will have to ask for this line to get it in our hands.
Hasbro may also try and pull a Mattel and issue a Cease & Desist to hurt their chances of getting off the ground. Granted Hasbro hasn't been known to do that as much as Mattel. Mattel recently did just that (C&S) to FORMO Toys who were doing the same thing as these guys (MOTU sytle figures from some of the original creators).
Still excited to see what they do, and you can't go wrong with a pigeon companion!!!

I've submitted an idea after I saw it on HISS Tank.
-
I've always thought the joes needed a quarter master/supply guy - a mix of klinger/Radar from M*A*S*H in their wheeling and dealing and Macguyver. A guy who could get all sorts of things and knew how to macguyver almost anything from whatever he could get.
-
my idea was a South Vietnamese Jungle Commando guy, who could slot in as a "lost O13" Joe and who's an Asian with NOTHING to do with martial arts.
-
Even Retelo looks pretty good. I'm waiting him to be available.

this was my submission.

I like that. Honestly you could do quite a bit with 0-13 bodies.
-
my figure didn't get picked. :(

Is there a list published for the final figs?

The kickstarter is live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3djoes/operation-recall-legendary-creators-back-on-active-duty/
-
I am having trouble figuring out the kickstarter ;).
All I want is to back it, but for only one figure. Can I choose which one at the pledge 30$ level? I only interested at Retello, since it's pretty cool. Anyone knows?
-
Yes, if you pledge $30, you can pick ANY unlocked fig, including Retello which was unlocked from the start
-
I pledged for all in, this give me 18 figs (now 19) to pick and choose. So even with the all in, I'm not limited to 1 of each. I can pick 18 Retello if I want.
-
Thanks for clarifying, this is very good! The project is already funded, which is amazing!
Update: I just placed my first pledge on kickstarter... feeling special! ;)

Thanks I will have a look! It's truly nice to be an o-ring fan these days.

Yes, with Kickstarter project like:
Roboskull (1 nice o-ring army builder there)
Longbow
Strike Force Alpha
Operation Recall
And even Hasbro with more than 10 figs (3 x 2-pack, and some drivers: Baroness, Stalker, etc.)
I'm more than happy... in fact, my wallet is less happy
-
Bear Claw is now unlocked!

Next up: $240k will not only unlock Clanker + Tank, but it will also unlock the Midnight Ops Retelo!

If you like Retelo (like I do) you don't want to miss his Midnight (Night Force) version:
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/038/045/819/5c93556ac9f4ffcae6a792d6ee95bb77_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1658548564&gif-q=50&q=92&s=bee6560aeb6d4b471cea919a0cac6634)
So you may change your pledge for 4 figs: 1 regular Retelo, 1 Night Force, and 1 to open, 1 to keep MOC, for a total of 4 😁

I really like what I see. It opens the door for
Night force... I mean Midnight ops variant :)
