As nice as that would be, I still say a light cycle should be priority for the next build-a-thing, or preferrably as a separate release in 3 different colors (yellow, red, and blue). At the very least, they should do the yellow light cycle with Flynn in his blue colors as a pack-in figure. If this line has any long term legs beyond a 2nd wave, then yes the MCP would be the next logical big thing to do after we get a light cycle.

They're due in September.

Thanks - I missed that! Not long to wait then... looking forward to pics of the accessories and Recognizer.

It would be very nice indeed if the coloured lines could glow...

- Star Wars in 1/12 scale? Check. (Hasbro + Bandai + Figuarts)

- Marvel and DC superheroes in 1/12 scale? Check and check (Hasbro + Figuarts + MAFEX)

- TRON figures? Getting there! (DST)


All I'd need now (besides more space) are:

- Original "V" 6 or 7-inch scale figures

- '80 cartoon Dungeons & Dragons 1/12 scale figures

holy crap if they made V figures I'd flip my wig.

Yet instead they've allowed one of their all time biggest toy brands to flounder in the last few years due to poor reception of the last GI Joe film.

totally agree, Hasbro are missing out on alot of money, millions. If 6" GI Joes ever come out, i would buy the complete collection, not kidding.
In the mean time, im making my own 6" Joes LOL Already have 3 made, 3 more to go

Agreed. GI Joe has a plethora of available characters ready to be made in 6-inch scale. Just imagine Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Destro, Duke, Baroness, Scarlett, Storm Shadow, Dodger, Zartan... Accessories, alternate hands and heads, small vehicles (maybe to be assembled in BAF fashion), etc.

So much potential for collectors, so much money to be made by Hasbro. I really don't understand why this is not a reality yet.

Imagine the Dreadnoks in 6" scale, the thought of that makes my little hairs stand up...

I wonder if Hasbro reads these posts. What I'm seeing is that there is definitely a market for 1/12 scale GI Joe figures. Star Wars black series figures were a success but, the market for those figures has cooled off a bit. It may pick up a bit when figs for the new movie come out but, collectors are hungry for something new & different. After all how many Darth Vaders does one need? There is a huge untapped market in the GI Joe figures. I know I would be very interested in Black Series style GI Joe figures. Seems like a no brainier to me.

the funny thing is that GI Joe has much more characters than Star wars, its a cash cow for sure.

So... no sign of the Tron figures at SDCC yet. Odd considering they're due out in about a month or so, and there have been no actual images beyond the ones shown here...

They were mentioned during an interview with zach oat, they're still coming out but they didn't have the figures on hand to show. Also he mentioned there's going to be 4 figures with Flynn in his regular colors as an exclusive.

Exclusive? Dang. I assume something like Gamestop. Would rather the red had been the exclusive, but I guess they know if it's the blue it will have higher demand. Still seems odd that they didn't have the figures even though they're due soon. Would have been a great chance to promote them.

The exclusive will be at Walgreens. And yeah, red as the exclusive makes much more sense but whatever.

Walgreens? Probably worse for us in the UK to get hold of then. I hope they're still due out soon.

Is there a link to this anywhere? I can't seem to find any info online about the Walgreens exclusive.

[deecee4]

Sure thing. The Tron talk starts at about 1:20 in.
