Interesting... wonder which versions we'll get when these hit US stores?

those greenshirt duke's will be great to redo the wimpy og 13 figures when the 25th first hit.

I'm down for all of these except the blue Cobra Commander. I just hope all of these can actually be found!

T'Gin-Zu! How crazy is that repaint? Are they gonna make a Skymate figure soon, too? I am more excited for that figure than the regular SS they're releasing.

I just hope these are real. Those troopers, that custom fodder ship wreck, plus a decent non fodder shippy! And then there's Storm Shadow, who will be getting one Helluva repaint.

Plus Kwinn, we're step closer to him actually being released. Who knows. If this dollar store line takes off it could mean a spot for kwinn and other 25th homages.

I say they should make an original Ice Viper with 25th Snow Serpent body, Alley Viper head, & Resolute Trooper helmet with goggles!

I would certinaly think wouldn't be a dollar store fig, especially not with all that awesoem gear. As is, glad to see him in production form, even if it is sans head.

That Green shipwreck is a dream come true between the two of them I'll probably try for 7 to 12....I dig that blue on the cobras too, it is a bit bright, but I still like it.

Oh my god, this is AWESOME! I too only *thought* I had experience true joy before this.

Unfortunately, the Club will probably try to eat up anything that would be the biggest collector draw. While a lot of these figures are nice, and many of them homages to obscure figures, none would really be a big thing to sell though the club, SDCC, NYCC or other such outlets. I'd say anything like that will go to the expensive exclusive venues while this might only be a one time thing. Female figures are also still out of the question for something like this. As much as I want this to be a more permanent venue, I also know Hasbro will take the bad decision when possible(such as trying to shut down 3rd party companies rather than working with and/or hiring them/buying their molds).

Funny though how Hasbro insisted that new molds with less articulation cost less than reusing old molds... yet this line is 100% recycled old molds and it's for cheap stores.

I predict the green Shipwreck sells out so fast it creates a sonic boom that ends the world. Then we never see Kwinn released.



I wish. But they seem to be going for as generic as possible on card art.

Dollar Store Ninja Force! Please let this line take off and sell well.

If these hit the stores here local, I will be picking up at least 1 each. I WILL be getting either of those SS figures(I know the variant is T'Gin-Zu). Next wave is a redo of Nunchuk using the green Shipwreck (reuse of the body- cheap) body with masked head, nunchuck and helm.

As for the rest of the next wave, another 'trooper' with different head and weapon, and instead of Shipy that wave gives us a diver(simple grey or black with red or blue as the variant). And they could give us Baronness (blue & black) with improved head.

But these recycles also have minimal/no paint apps and one or two accessories, instead of the ton that regular retail figures come with. Not complaining at all, though. I'd prefer lower prices to paint and accessories. I can paint and my accessories bins are full of spare equipment I can give them if needed.

As far as the new batch: I can see getting that Shippy in multiples in both colors for bringing The Corps! figures into my Joe-verse. That body looks a lot like Lanard's current standard body. I can also see getting the black/green SE for some LBC Night Vipers. I'm really digging the dollar store figures.

I really hope I can find these. Between green shippy and the Beachhead we're getting in that ninja pack from the movie, I could totally make updated versions of Grunt, Zap, Breaker, Clutch, Short Fuze and Rock n Roll.
