Got a notification that my Credit Card is about to be charged for Dial Tone.  Ordered in Dec or Jan - I forget when.

Where did you order him from?

I was too wishy-washy on that wave and so I missed out on Dial-Tone.   Got everyone else, but now I have to wait and hope he shows up more in stock once this batch starts showing up.

Dial Tone is still available here:

They have a "Toy chest" option where you can hold all your orders and make it ship once (when you reach free shipping)

I received my wave 3. cold slither Zartan is by far the best of the wave. Strangely, I really like wild bill. He fits really well with Super's 7 cover girl and early joes.

I just noticed the name they gave Crystal Ball.
Richard "Crystal Ball" King, clearly a reference to Richard Bachman/Stephen King.  Just the name alone give me nostalgia for the retro file cards.

Yep and didn't they use his son's name for another character during ARAH?   I'm sure that character will pop up eventually.

Edit:

I just looked it up and yeah his son Owen had Sneak Peek named after him.

I collect them. They are fun, especially the fluffy. Man, it's so goofy to have it with the dreadnoks. They blend well with Joes and fun to pose. Nothing too crazy about. Hence, it's probably better to pick and choose rather than collect them all.

Martin - how about a review of these figures. I saw in another post that it looked like you had received your order?

Yes, I got my figs. Overall, I like them.

What I like:
1. I now have 7 new original characters
2. They are build with a neck ball joint and have swivel wrists (2 things we don't see with S7 ReAction+)
3. Paint is good
4. Sailors have alternate skin (Black & White)
5. Joints are good
6. They comes with alternate eyes (white part of the eye painted or not. So you choose what you like)
7. I have 3 sailors. All are different (3 differents ranks, Darker skin, Brown hair, Red hair). So I guess you can make 9 unique figs.

What could have been better:
1. Rivets are not painted (I like it when they are)
2. For this one, I don't know how to explain it well, so you will have to use your imagination... they have swivel wrists (which is good). But, when the hand is turning, you see a gap with the lower part of the arm. Because the hand is round, but the arm isn't, that look weird. To do it right, I think a part of the wrist should be included with the hand, and another part stay on the arm. So, the wirst is cut in half and is rotating "round part on round part" (if this make sense)
3. Accessories are limited (1 gun, no backpack). Vintage GI Joe backpack fits in, but tight.
4. Some torsos don't stay straight. Falcone is working on a replacement torso (free replacement)

How do I rank them?
1. Skeletron / Callsing Longbow / Delta-17
2. Vintage and new (Transformers collab) GI Joe
3. In The Navy (Falcone)
4. Strike Force Alpha
5. Super7 Reaction+ (no swivel wrists, no neck ball joint)

Man, I did it again and bought 1 cobra soldier and 2 sailors (I am ashamed to say I have too much). Toysrus is closing and the Super7 joes are super cheap with 30% off. No more cobra soldier left, but still some sailors left.

I miss shipwreck, I am waiting for the o-ring version, which they will release... Well I hope so!

Nice, yeah the closest TRU to me is closing (after opening in 2023) and unfortunately they don't have any ReAction figures.   Even the next closest one, which isn't closing only has a couple sailors on clearance, but I don't need the sailors.

Yeah i opended the sailors i got at Christmas on clearance. Dissapointed.
If anyone is collecting the o-ring figures from Super7, how do they stack up to the previous 5 POS er... I mean POA's?
