Oh YES a correct Flint in original duds. :woot

His boots look a little weird with the weathered green paint apps to them. But meh.

Man I feel like a kid again. :lol:

Yeah, but $10+ for one fig vs $25+ for 5 figs.....

I know HOF have more accesories but we have all those accesories already in one form or another.

Have you seen the others.... Zartan! StormShadow!
They are the same figs.


Packaging is cool.
But I wanted something more.

He also doesn't have the new headsculpt, but with the Flint in disguise figure, I have an alternate anyway. Paint apps are also different on his legs and feet.

And that's about it.


Really, I read these as pure collector pieces, and if they do well, I think we could see this concept in the future with other figures, especially if half of them could be rehashed as easily as Snake Eyes black and Zartan.
For months, I've seen threads where collectors complain about not getting this character or that character on a single card, well, now it's time for them to put up or shut up.

It's nice to see they finally got him right!

I've got a couple extra heads from the Cobra version. I'll be headswapping a five pack.

If these are $12.99. I can buy 2 HOH or get the 5-pack and get three more figures.

It's really too bad these are online exclusives. Its gonna make it hard to get a hold of them. Anyone know what these are gonna be priced at? Im gonna go out on a limb and say 20 before shipping.

It'd be different if we had to pay regular price for this. Now we're paying anywhere from 3 to 5 dollars more for extra packaging and a bit of extra gear. For those who keep their toys on the card or in the box, these will be beautiful display pieces. I open up my toys, so the box that I'm paying extra money for doesn't mean anything.

I hope these do well because I want G.I.JOE to do well but I think I'm going to pass on these for pricing reasons. Luckily I'm one of the weirdos looking forward to nearly every figure in those 2 Joe and Cobra 5-packs.

Ditto. I hate paying extra bucks for stuff I'm throwing away. That Flint would be my standard, but I can't justify buying him and then tossing part of what I paid for in the trash.
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
