At this point the laziness is starting to feel like a personal insult. Vote w/your dollars, perfectly said.
Thank you so much for calling out Hasbro's lazyness on the freeze chamber playset.
"The coronavirus of toys." Hahahahaha. Yep.
When he said that i almost chokes on a cherry 😆
well said !
Hahaha now I don’t have to type it 👆🏻
yep
Funny thing about these exclusives is that you can’t find it at Walmart. 😂😂😂
Now that WM does 3rd party all the resellers ruin it for normal ahem...Joes that just want to buy one to KEEP. Theyre on the site but one is going for $90. WM is now ebay for toys
Because they are not being released in the stores until October. Can only buy online at Walmart. I bought Zartan and received it last week.
ikr all i could fine was a cobra tank and joe vehicle. thats it
I’ve only watched Snake eyes once and that was like two months ago
Walmart exclusives....Can buy them anywhere online except Walmart. Genius. Then if you find it on Walmart.com it's more expensive than buying it from a reputable online toy store.
Stephan Hassenfeld is rolling in his grave. The 80s team had passion and belief in the brand; they went all in on this franchise and won a generation. Now the suits at Half-ass-bin think that going get the same result with a half-hearted effort without thinking of the consumer.
If they put out the original as they were sold in 83 (swivel arm), I would buy them. I am not a collector, just a fan since I was a kid.
Lololololol. You have officially become my conscious voice over. You actually took the words out of my soul to describe this line. Thank you you amazing mind reader
Well, this video saved me a bit of money.
I'll be honest I prefer the 25th Anniversary figure than the o-ring one, BUT that said if you're gonna market it as Retro Collection Hasbro should have done the O-ring figures like what they've done with their other toy lines.
SOVIET_IDIOT I agree both have their merits
Hasbro dsnt care about the collector community that's painfully obvious. Go Black Major and Red Laser that's where my cash is headed at least they know what collectors want/need 😲
Amen
Good point
Never had the Striker, could use another HISS Tank, and so I went ahead and ordered the full set. May return Baroness and Storm Shadow when I get it, but I'll keep Snake Eyes cause I like the packaging. That being said, the fact that we don't get true retro figures is a huge wasted opportunity.
Enjoy your opinion videos. Very passionate today, like someone who woke up on the wrong side of the toy aisle. (Or the right side). Nothing beats the nostalgia of the old toys. I wonder if kids these days get that feeling? 🙏
God's truth, my friend. God's truth!
Yep, these are horrible. Can’t wait for your vid on these.
I hope you wade into these fetid waters. We’ve got your back Mike.
the oring mold are no longer salvageablethey also do not meet modern toy safety requirements
Nope just an opinion
I was CRUSHED when I seen these figures! 😖 I played with vintage Joes as a child. They were a HUGE part of my childhood. We had battles in the stream behind our home DAILY with the neighborhood children. When I seen Hasbro would be releasing "Retro" Joe's in my mind they could only be one thing. A reproduction of my childhood. A reproduction of the best times of my childhood. Reproductions of the vintage GI joe figures. I can not afford to pay crazy prices for the original figures. I was BEYOND excited for this release. Walking into a Walmart store and seeing the exact thing I seen 30 years ago. Walking back in time. I had already decided I would purchase doubles of every "retro" figure released. I planned on opening one and building a toy store pegboard to display the carded figures at a affordable price for me. Like the collections i love looking at in pictures and videos i would have the next best thing in my own home. Im just devastated, I honestly am. I will not be buying any of these "retro" figures. They just mean absolutely NOTHING to me. I have zero connection with the figures sealed on that card. 2020 surely has been a nightmare. 😔
Hasbro - Spending less money and charging more for crap.
You are 100% spot on and I hope you do more videos like this.
“The Coronavirus of Toy”!!! Great line, loved it, well done Tony!!!
Thank you so much bro for speaking that real truth! As a kid growing up in the eighties I was a major 100 percent fan of and played with the Vintage O-Ring figures GIJOE put out as well as watched the classic Sunbow series. I support you to the fullest for this video. Keep spreading the word and good work!
Storm shadow looks ridiculous lol. Not buying any of these. They should have done o-ring Joe's and try to 100% match the card art closer than the old ones did.
I wish they reproduced the older eighties versions.
Funny they chose these 3 figures.
It's like if Star Wars released only 3 figures in a wave and picked boba fett jango fett and The Mandelorean and said this is wave one!
That's what I said
@@richardgerischer7353 I read in a Wizard toyfair magazine back in the late 90's that the factory that made the 80's G.I. Joe figures burned to ground.
3rd party guys are having molds made and killing it though.
@@solaceboy Doesn't matter. Hasbro could remake all the original figures with ease if they wanted to.
Thanks brother, means a lot coming from you
From one “real world” Joe to another, I could not agree more, Brother...
Absolutely love your passion friend!
Once again you are right on with your assessment. I'm not impressed with this new retro wave of GI Joe... at frickin all. I'll be the first to admit that I have an addiction to plastic. I spend alot of my hard earned money on plastic for the pure nostalgia of it. If I'm honest, Hasbro gets alot of my cash just due to their market share... but this sh#t... this sh%t will not stand. You have put it perfectly that the recent releases of the Bespin carbon freeze chamber, and the Walmart exclusive retro GI Joe are like the Corona virus of toys. They've shown every reason why an out of touch toy company doesn't deserve unquestioned loyalty.
I love the channel man. Keep up the great work. You constantly help remind me that toys are about the fun, entertainment, and at our ages the nostalgia.
Very succinct and cogent
I'm really bummed out for the people who wanted o-ring Joe's, but as someone who's just getting into collecting G.I. Joe, I'm glad we're getting articulated 3.75 figures in stores again.
Especially when scalpers sell them for insane prices on eBay
well said. I got storm shadow, snake eyes, and the hiss tank. they are really good but they just need to make it more obtaineble. and give people some o ring joes. then we would be good to go
Eloquently put, Buddy. Keep taking Hasbro to task for lazily trying to take advantage of our love, and nostalgia, for these beloved toy lines. Keep up the good work
You hold the exact same sentiment as me brother. Honestly I just wanted some retro figures so maybe I could let my son have some of those same childhood adventures as I did. I had my Joes. I was hoping I could give him a few of his own. But I'll have to use some recreations for that. If I find them maybe I'll grab a vehicle so he's not destroying 40 year old toy out in the yard.
Problem is they called it a retro line.
Impossible Pie if they just released the original o ring figures no one would have a problem
@@georgeaitken2719 I agree , I was hoping for o ring style. They should've just said thiscisca re issue of the modern line, not retro.
Hasbro doesn’t understand what retro GI Joe means, I want action figures that look like it did in the 1980s
Same here. Mattel did it with Masters Of The Universe (Commemorative Series) in 2000-2001. Why can't Hasbro?
Damn right !
Exactly same for Mattel not releasing retro heman 5.5s Instead they released 5.5s with new head sculpts and articulation ugly joint breaks
The look of the 80's with some improvements.
Same.💀🔥
Nice video Tony, intriguing topic. For my money here... I do think Hasbro is a bit of a victim of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”. Fan backlash for releasing items that can be confused for actual vintage toys is pretty harsh (quality aside). I’ve seen arguments for and against vintage style toys as 1:1 recreations, however it seems that the overwhelming opinion on retro Joe toys is for O-ring style toys. You’re bang-on about voting with your dollar tho, that’s what counts.
Hello my friend...😃✌
I'm from Brazil and I have 40 years old and I love toys of 80 years.
The utter disappointment and deflated feel in your voice, written across tour face... is spot on. You're articulating live, how we all feel. Defeated.
Oh man. ... Im so excited! YO JOE!!!
sending Duke to storm into hasbro HQ and smack some sense into the marketing and design team. Yooooooo Joe!
The fans are doing the best work. Period
What figure stand are you using next to you? Can I buy one somewhere?
Well said Tony! You are spot on with what you are saying. I am a Joe fan, and have been since the 80's. However I can tell that you are speaking from the heart when you say this is complete garbage and crap. Thank you for being so honest.
The only thing I’m interested from this collection is the hiss tank I don’t want the driver I’ve still got the Original o ring version why did they even bother if they brought out o ring cobra troopers this would have sold out in days
Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻
Spot on as always 👍
thank you fella needed to hear that...! x
Great work
Right on ! Well said! I collect solely based on how it makes me feel and my memories. Period. If it a repro piece or original, it doesn’t change my mind and view point. Solely based on feelings and memories.
I'll just buy Black Major for my "new retro" line.
if i was into O ring, his figures are way cooler.
I messaged michael right away when i saw that reveal of the "retro" joes.. i shouldve come to you also.... damn tx Tony.. needed to hear this
My sentiments as yours. When they announced that a retro version will be out I'm happy thinking O-ring Joes will be back. I'm utterly disappointed myself...
I agree completely 100% with everything he said in this video and i'm comfortable assuming that he speaks for most if not for all of us.
Bottom line: Hasbro already got their check from Walmart. They're quite happy.
Excellent review..
Thank you Tony. SPOT ON my friend. Couldn't agree more
Hey what's up ? Just subscribed to channel, first time actually seeing this I couldn't agree with you more...its bullshit seeing all releases for other retro toys but GI Joe gets the shits.....I've been a HUGE GI JOE fan ever since I can remember and it sucks to keep on getting shit on by not getting an actual re-release of REAL RETRO FIGS...thanks for the awesome vid....
ngl ,im glad people bought the 1st 6inch garbage joes ,cause what we are getting now KICKS ASS !
AGREED!!
Well said brother.
Well put
I love the wave 1 retro figures I grew up with the original and loved them i understand these figures are not the same as the original and I'm ok with that, I can't wait for wave 2
*Analog Toys* I must admit I do not buy toys, however I do like your videos about toys.
Well said. I will get back into GI Joe once Hasbro remembers what GI Joe is. What a joke.
Your fans and subscribers really value your opinion. You help collectors and toy enthusiasts make proper and informative choices.
Thanks Sean!
Agreed Tony, Hasbro could learn a thing or two from Mattel.
I think so far Mattel has the right idea with Motu classics, super7, club Grayskull and the upcoming Origins.
honestly the Star Wars Black Series should have been a subscription line, instead of being released in Mass retail. I always bring up the Black Series Speeder bike with biker Scout that was released in 2014 which ended up shelf wormed for over 4 years because it's price.
Cool, they will be easy to pick up then.
What kills me, is the scalpers are the ones gobbling all these up and selling them to casual fans like myself, and both Hasbro and the scalpers win
What I'd like to see is a return to form for the Joes, with vehicles, and play-sets.... (Like how cool would it be to have an updated version of the USS Flag with bluetooth comparability and remote activated play features....) Or a new Mobat you can drive with your smartphone.....
Maybe an updated version of the Dragonfly which is an actual RC chopper with room for a figure in the cockpit compartment....
And of course some army builder packs for generic Cobra troopers, Maybe a new version of the Hiss Tank, Trouble Bubbles, ext...
Maybe some new large bases/playsets (Like an updated Cobra missile base roughly the size of a Barbie dreamhouse.... Complete with missile...)
Addmitedly I do like the Hiss and awe striker they announced. But I’m vastly disappointed in the figures and the rest of the announcements. I think, if they had been up front by saying “we’re bringing back the 25th line” the overall reaction wouldn’t have been so sour. But it was their insistence on using the phrase “retro line” in the marketing. Retro could have only meant O ring Joes. The 25th line isn’t even old enough to be considered retro or vintage. And then making them Walmart exclusive on top of that? It was just the twisting that knife. I won’t be buying any of them. If they can pull their heads from their asses and do what we’ve all been asking for, for decades in some cases, I’ll give them my money. But until such a time, I’ll just keep my money.
Mann, this sucks. Thanks too people like you and other's, I feel like we'll be heard. You do great work.
Awesome
As someone who bought GI Joe’s in the 80’s and the 25th Anniversary figures. I completely agree with you. Why doesn’t Hasbro just make the figures as they once did. Maybe 25th Anniversary to not have to deal with the O rings. Why haven’t they made a Monkey Wrench, for example? It’s always the same old, same old.
Spot on. Hasbro are taking the piss.
You know who's kicking ass right now? Spin Masters DC Comics 4 inch line! I've been loving most of what they've been doing! Looking to get my hands on the Batcave soon!
I'm not a toy collector and this is the first I've seen of these, but I'm 100% in agreement with you. Those are such crap and insulting.
SPOT ON
I agree with your statement @Analog Toys. I as a guy who wasn't born in the late 70's, 80's or early 90's, I was always very facinated with vintage toys, especially the ones made by Hasbro and I totally get how they has been ripping off people in the recent years with the "Nostalgia Money Raking" strategy. I do hope that someday new and old collectors will finally get the action figures they deserve to pay with their hard earned capital. Hasbro and other companies need to understand that they are the ones who have to meet the criteria of the collector's wishes and demands, not make something that maybe might interest the collector or barely interest them at all.
I missed most of the 25th line so pleased to get an opportunity to get these cheaply. I'm loving the Classified line, so was everyone wanting new sculpted figs like the 25th again but new sculpts...or O-ring figs?
I was expecting the vintage figures, but I love the modern ones too so I'm happy either way. Looking forward to getting these, since I don't have a black HISS tank, and would love it if they took the 2010 Roadblock and repainted him in classic colours. It's understandable that wave 1 would include Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and the Baroness, since those characters are all going to be in the upcoming movie.
Just saw these at my local Walmart! I agree with you as far as the quality of these retros! First of all the boards feel cheap and lack the quality and firmness of the originals and the figures themselves look like they can break easily with their flimsy bad quality! Hasbro seemed to have put more attention and effort with the Classified series!
I agree I’ll be buying them for my son
This is NEWS to me. I learned this first on your channel.
So basically, its the 25th Anniversary Figures again, with a non glossy G.I.JOE logo. Hasbro must still have back stock of these toys, maybe this is the case.
Oh well, easy pass. I already have those toys basically. As toy Galaxy always says, "If you see one get one, if you see two, leave it for the next collector". In my case, I'll leave them all.
So you think Hasbro has a huge Raiders-style warehouse filled with unsold Joes, just waiting on the oft-chance they can be released later? Now - a full THIRTEEN YEARS later - they'll ship these back to Vietnam to be repackaged and then ship them out again?
I'm no expert, but that's not how that works.
Well said Tony. Couldn't have said it better. Btw, "This toy is the Coronavirus of 2020": hysterical!
No matter the the frustration. Collector's will still be adding this to there collection slowly handing over the dough saying damn you Hasbro.
I didn't know about this. I remember during either the Unicron Trilogy or one of the live action movies. There were those updated classic versions. I bought the Cobra 5 pack, but never saw the Joe 5 pack. Then there was the movie line...which I bought 3 figures and the newer nightraven. But hearing and seeing these, yeah, that's a big slap in the face.
I came across these figures at a Walmart last night. They are very jenky looking in person. The cards were all warped or curled. Very thin. I was going to go ahead and buy Baroness thinking it was $6-7 but at $14 I passed. Crazy that people are paying about twice as much on ebay.
I could almost excuse Hasbro for releasing dregs like these (or even releasing no Joes at all) right now in hopes of a proper o-ring retro series for the ARAH 40th anniversary in 2022. Here’s hoping...🤞🏼
My thoughts exactly!
thanks for the video. i really want a good 3-3/4" GI Joe line again. is there anything else out there that is any good?
I’ll buy it. Looks great! Lol
I agree man. Nothing’s better than the vintage line. Cards are cool and figures suck
I'm guessing refitting the factory to incorporate metal hooks and legs assembly into the figure would be an obstacle to O-ring figures coming back? Just a thought.
Yet, "factory customizers" can pump them out? Not buying that.
I’m probably in a minority here, but I feel like the 1980s Joes were built in the best way. The articulation is better than anything since. I’m unsure why they wouldnt just do the same thing they did with the Real Ghostbuster’s line, in that they literally recreated them. If they reproduced Joes like that it would take the world by storm. You can’t even get the Real Ghostbusters on the shelves at walmart right now, because of demand. I can’t imagine GI JOE would be any different. I liked this video, and I felt like it was pretty much what my line of thinking has been.
In the Hasbro video yesterday, the lady said "Go Joe!" with so much pride that it was embarrassing to tell her the phrase is actually "Yo Joe!"
But the things online sold out in no time
I found this disappointing too. I was hoping it'd be a new 'modern' era Joe line, not o-Ring, but what we got? Jeeze. Snake Eyes v54 for the third time, but without the Commando head, despite using the v1 Commando artwork. 5 Pack Baroness for the third time. Best paint for the face, but nothing new. Renegades Storm Shadow for the third time, now missing parts, despite Ultimate Storm Shadow existing. Yes, two of these figures are still expensive, but these are incomplete.
I was really hoping for a really good Duke v1 and Scarlett. Scarlett does not have a good modern figure period, she needed an ultimate so badly back in Retaliation. Same goes for Tunnel Rat. Roadblock could do with a retail upgrade. How about some of the characters the club had to do like Cover Girl? Most of us don't have them and the club ones aren't the best. There are still some rare and expensive PoC figures, like Law and Order.
I like Classified and I'm happy with that line, but I was hoping to get some patches for my modern era collection. Not this. This is crap.
As I was born in the late 1990’s I was super excited about a legit retro G.I. Joe line so I could finally have the chance to get the older joes at a decent price. I love modern figures too but I am beyond disappointed with hasbro at this point.
For those of us either starting our collections over from scratch or wanting to start a collection for the first time. I don't know what you expect us to do, as this is presently the only game in town.
I like that storm shadow
My thoughts are they may not be what fans would like, but we can give these away for gifts help keep Gi Joe alive.
yeah pass the salt! love the passion . massachusetts loves ya
Completely agree with you my friend! The only thing Hasbro has done well is Transformers !
Thank you.
I have to agree with you to a point. These aren't bad figures by any means but they are not retro. Really wanted to see o-ring like everyone else. Between ignoring these and classified, I'll continue to collect actual vintage figures.
Can't wait for Action Force 4! You're spot on about Hasbro. Where are our o-ring Joes dang it?!
mudpuppy blame hasbro for the delay
Probably the best evidence that Hasbro just doesn't really care about GI Joe anymore. If they don't have O-rings, then they are not "retro" figures.
I was shocked when I saw that the GI. Joe ”Retro” Line wasn’t retro at all. Yet another batch of modern figures. It woul be cool if they either made reproductions of some classic o-ring figures or, better yet, o-ring figures we wanted but never got. The 6” Classified line however I think look good. At least they are new and original designs. I agree, as usual, with your point Tony!! Take care & be safe!!🤘🏻😎🖤
The line is simply a half-baked minimal effort by designers who's talent is questionable. The mustached product design guy doing the reveal last night looked totally stoned and was highlighting stuff like figure stands and rolling wheels on the Hiss Tank like they were some brand new toy tech never seen before. It was so absurd!
I said this somewhere before. I wish Hasbro would just release all vintage figures, both Star Wars and GI Joe on the original cards. And when I say original cards, I mean both front and back. I'm tired of the price gouging of all the old figures and I hate AFA.
