Which may be why they saw a stint at discounters. I don't think any online store exclusive has been found at retail though, I could be wrong though. SDCC yea, others, not so sure. Thanks for the info Ludo.

Well I'm good on Joes till next wave. Even then I don't think I'm getting too much. Just Scarlett & Storm Shadow. Good thing we shouldn't see them till next year.

Picked up my first modern Joes yesterday... Renegades Snake-Eyes and CC. Pretty cool toys, but maybe my expectations were a little too high... I had a feeling SE would be more poseable, and the hands don't quite hold the weapons tightly. And Commander seems to be permanently leaning to one side... Is this a common problem?

My CC has that issue too. Not sure if it's common, but at least that's someone else that has the issue like you do.

Thanks for the input... It's a little disconcerting, but nothing that makes me regret buying him. It's a really nicely painted figure, both him and SE. But I had to switch the head for the full visor one, it's such a badass look!

Is the Techno Viper still on for being made? I heard someone on the 'Tank saying it was cancelled.

I think you're thinking about Data Vipers.

D00MTR0N · 10-23-2011, 12:30 PM

As for the Hazard Vipers; I was not super excited to get them; but after I opened them up and stood them up on my shelf, they really grew on me. I think they look alot cooler out of the package.

Yes is the simple answer!! Shortpacked in a wave that hasnt seen proper distribution anywhere,it wouldnt be the worst thing if you kept him MoC!!! Unless a glut of them starts showing up at Ross or Family Tree!!!

I got 10 on the way from BBTS.

Crazy Jetty · 01-07-2012, 04:14 PM

I am totally not a Joe fan. I couldn't stand it growing up, and none of the new series, or updated stuff did anything to change my opinion.

...Until Renegades. I absolutely love that show. And the greatest dissapointment was Hasbro originally announcing that there would be no toys.
However, I'm happily snatching all the core cast as they show up now! So far, I've got Scarlett, Snake Eyes, and Tunnel Rat.

But the purpose of my post is this... The amount of accessories Tunnerat has is nothing short of amazing! He even had a frying pan!!!
Until I actually opened it, and that awesome frying pan no longer quite looks like a frying pan.
It doesn't look like anything but a frying pan, but it doesn't look like a frying pan, either.
My question is this. Does anyone know what it's supossed to be?
