A quick look at WWE Build N’ Brawl 3.75” Sgt. Slaughter  Strange but based on his card, Sarge should have camo paint, I guess they did a running change to cut costs?  It's too bad Bankee never brought out wave 6 (They only brought out waves 1-4, then jumped to wave 7). I had to get this figure from Ebay. Comes with part of the cage for the WWE ring.  SGT. Slaughter!   I prefer to have the elbow pads removed to make the elbows more poseable.  Sarge's left hand can hold a standard GiJoe rifle.  His hat is glued on.  No holes for foot pegs, Sarge doesn't come with his swagger stick or foot base either.  Nice boot detail.  The Joe heirachy is complete!  Supposedly Sgt. Slaughter and Beach head take turns training the troops but generally, Sarge outranks Beach head. According to the Wiki, Sarge is the toughest Joe there is.   Sgt. Slaughter versus Serpentor.  Welcome to boot camp, maggots! I'm Sgt. Slaughter, special drill instructor for GiJoe.   Time to teach you jokes how to stomp snakes!   Give me 2000 push ups maggots!!  The only down side is that the scale is a bit off, he's a bit shorter compared to the Hasbro Gijoe figures. The plus side is that he's very poseable, even has jointed wrists. From his GiJoe toy commercial: Don't mess with Sgt. Slaughter,
he's as tough as they come.
He can take on a bunch of Cobras
and send them on the run!... unfortunately, Hasbro later dropped Sarge a few years later when he went "bad boy" with his image in the wrestling world. Gold |

Here's a quick look at the GiJoe Complete Collection DVD Set.   Heavy case (foot locker?) opens up as a “ command console” of sorts.   Lifting up the console reveals the DVDs, the manual/guidebook and the 1GB GiJoe dogtag/Flashdrive with 2 GiJoe Comic scans.  There are 17 DVDs, containing all 95 Sunbow GiJoe episodes, the DIC Joe episodes are not included here.  Backside  The DVDs are printed with various character art from the toy packagings.  Hehe, I almost freaked for a moment when I saw this, it turns out the Movie disc isn’t included in the set but they put in an empty tray for it anyway.  A great set for $145, but unfortunately, this is not available outside of the US. I had to ask a friend to help me one. Gold |

Hi Bengus, nope sadly no news about anymore vintage vehicles getting redone, the only ones coming are the Cobra Rage (repaint), the battle stations (repainted) and the Snowcat. No new upcoming 25th characters either. Personally I think the movie toyline bombed so Hasbro is still trying to decide which way to go with it now. Gold |

Hasbro is focused more on the 3-3/4 scale - but for Marvel apparently. Those are the figs that are raking it in for them. They're planning a vehicle for Iron Man 2. Oh well. -_-; |

Thanks Hmm, 9900 isn't half bad the price, for $145 is already roughly 7000 PhP, plus shipping would probably net you $20-30 more (if you had a friend who could get you one from the US, or go EBay) and maybe tax if you get flagged? Yep, sadly Hasbro is replanning their steps for the Joe line after the disaster fail of the movie toys, it got so bad that UK decided to drop and stop ordering future waves of the ROC line, figures and vehicles.

Here's the list of Joe Q and A from Hasbro. toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=9&itemid=15314Just click on the invidual site links to read the answers, but the gist of it is, -the POC line won't be coming out till Fall 2010 (isn't that like.. around Sept-Oct -ish?) -No new "Then and Now" sets. -No releases for Alpine, Low Light, Sci-fi, Iceberg, Airtight Lifeline (Booo!!). -No Pit-sized playsets -No other items for Resolute except for the upcoming 7packs (I think I remember reading Zartan, Duke and Firefly are part of the 7pack?) -Mighty Muggs cancelled -No word yet on a second Breaker figure -No exact date yet for Operation HISS (the new 26- episode/Webisode Joe toon) launch. Well.. I don't know, the whole Q and A played more like we get an idea of what we shouldn't be expecting rather than get excited for things to look forward too. Gold |
