Figure looks awesome.

I vaguely remember hearing about this but had never seen anything from it.

Yeah I had hopes these would come out. I was ready to buy even both AWE Striker repaints just for the figures. It's sad when a company bases sells on lame attempts that came out previously and decides not to release anticipated product.

I don't think anything ever came of the line, it was never released as far as I know. Ebay specimen were the extent of its life I'm pretty sure.

There was old repaint figures and dinosaurs that were Toys R Us exclusives, and they did as well as when they originally came out. These new items were announced at the tail end of that. I think with TRU clearancing out their stock and saying no to anything else, other stores probably passed as well and created dead product.

yeah but put that next to Recondo and Spirit and Firefly and you got your own personal Predator dio

I'm curious if Hasbro can't reuse those toolings, sans JP logos in the Joe line proper. That Tattooed Dutch is some serious awesome.

Oh, man. I gave up on getting this figure. I'll have to watch this one.

Edit: I bit- You're the highest bidder on this item. Hope you win it!

Edit: I'm out- You've been outbid.

They could if they wanted. None of that figure is new. Just the deco.

It's Resolute Duke's head on Resolute Roadblock's body

I know what it is.

But that particular toy might be off the table forever since Hasbro submitted it to a franchise for whom they only hold a license for.

Maybe, but it's a pretty generic deco, and doesn't represent any actual JP characters, so they'd be safe I think. Still, I don't see them having any reason/outlet for it anyway.

Filler for the Joe 2 toyline?

Great figure, I like it. Glad I didn't pay the money for mine that I have seen it go for on eBay.
