Target Geek Out Sept 23, 2022

Wuertz · 09-23-2022, 02:08 PM

When Target first dropped the previews, today was listed as "G.I. Joe Classifieds", so I got excited because hasn't been much from Target. We're coming up on nearly a year since the Python Patrol figures went up for pre-order. So it was a little disappointing to see two figures which were currently available and in-stock simply thrown in. Especially when you consider these were all clearanced out in-store in the Spring!

Literally made my day when I saw this. So dang happy.

Anybody catch the huge "tell" that the rest of the figures are likely already planned? The 4 preorders each come with one classic D&D style polyhedral die, so far representing the d8, d12, one of the 2 d10 percentile dice, and the d20 (actually included an extra one in the Venger/DM pack). That leaves the d4, d6, and other d10. I'm thinking Sheila, Eric, Presto.

PO'd Venger and the Dungeon Master at Pulse. Going to risk the others at retail. Fingers crossed this is not like NECA TMNT Toon characters and they will be easy to find, like TF and MOTU exclusives have been.

Oh yeah, I caught it.

Sheila is actually part of this wave.
You just can't see her.

Animated Dungeons & Dragons has been a grail action figures toyline for me that never was
... until now! Finally!!!
I always wanted action figures of Animated Dungeons & Dragons since 1983!!!
For all these years there were only the PVC figurines.
This is totally AMAZING!!!
Can't wait for Wave to to be revealed with Sheila, Eric, Presto and the D4, D6 and 2nd D10. Hope to see Tiamat, Nightmare (with Venger rider) and the Shadow Demon!
Hoping for more waves after that to flesh out the world.

Absolutely nothing from last Friday has sold out. Target either have ordered a lot more of everything, or they're just taking orders and figured they'll just cancel your orders if they over sold.

And Dungeon Master is articulated! ARTICULATED!! You can put articulation in mini-size figures, Hasbro!

I didn't catch it, but I didn't need to. If they only release 1/2 the team and call it a day, that'd be a very cruel joke from Hasbro!

But good catch!

Yeah, agreed it was not likely they'd bail on half the line, especially with such a small core cast of characters. I'll rephrase it as "nice nerdy touch!" with the dice approach, it made me smile!

I placed a 2nd order of one of each of the D&D figures which got cancelled with as reason "Technical Difficulties"
I'm not sure if it was a one off or if Target only allows 1 per customer.

It's 2 per customer. I ordered 2 of each last Friday.

I ordered 1 of each in 2 seperate orders.
It might need to be ordered in the same order.
In any case I'll just leave mine at 1 of each for now as I don't want to risk cancelling the 1 of each order and not being able to preorder any due to more technical difficulties

Target canceled my order . I only ordered one. when I tried to get another one all i get are instant automatic cancellations .
Target sucks!!!

Also up for PO on Pulse. They were my first PO today. Then came the Transformers...
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/...classics-diana
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/...-classics-hank
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/...sics-bobby-uni

They got buried a bit in the New Arrival section with all the other reveals.

Venger is just downright cuddly if you ask me.
