Yo Joe June is almost upon us with the primary Hasbro Pulse Fanstream dropping 6/4/24 at 11:00 AM ET. I feel we have now a good suggestion of what to anticipate from this Yo Jo June’s reveals primarily based on all of the identify solely reveals we’ve had over the previous few months, however my thoughts at all times turns to my most wished figures at these instances simply earlier than massive reveals.
I’m going to do that one a bit of otherwise than traditional and as a substitute of simply naming off the 5 characters I most need, impressed by a current episode of the Full Power Podcast, I’m going to attempt to choose one thing from one of many main segments of G.I. Joe Categorised merchandise together with common figures, deluxe figures, determine and pet units, determine and small automobile, and determine and medium sized automobile. I’m skipping Haslabs for this one simply because I’m by no means fairly certain what would qualify.
Earlier than I begin that, one runner up class is one thing I’d like to see Hasbro increase into doing with small diorama items. Considerably much like how they made issues like Checkpoint Alpha and the Bivouac again within the classic days, I may go for some backdrop items. I’d actually like a kind of communication middle the place Breaker can sit in entrance of a financial institution of screens and get info. It wouldn’t need to be too elaborate, only a bunch of screens, a desk, and a keyboard to make a pleasant begin on a Joe Headquarters show. Possibly make them so that they could possibly be mixed into a bigger console if you happen to purchased two.
5. Common Determine
My most wished common determine at the moment is Flash from the unique 13. He was one of many standouts in that early lineup on account of his distinctive crimson armor padding (nicely his and Grand-Slam’s distinctive crimson armor padding) and laser weapon, so whereas I by no means had one, I’ve a ton of affection for him primarily based on enjoying with buddies as a child. The Categorised line began with lots of lasers, however that’s much less frequent now, so I’m prepared for a laser trooper and wish to full that authentic staff. We’re so shut! He may be made into a number of cool repaints similar to Grand Slam and the Brazillian Cobra De Aco which was a Flash repaint with a Snake Eyes head in vac metallic. Actually bizarre and funky.
4. Determine and Pet
There are such a lot of current determine and pets from the classic line that I’m certain Hasbro will make finally like Spearhead and Max and Regulation and Order, however I most need a Baroness and Ravage determine and pet set much like the outdated 2013 SDCC determine. That factor captured my creativeness the primary time I noticed it and the crossovers are getting sizzling and heavy between these manufacturers so this looks like an ideal time to revisit the thought. I’d like to see an animation fashion Ravage with all of the articulation and paint element of a Categorised determine, sculpted and articulated with out the necessity to remodel so he can have a bit extra heft and animation accuracy to him. Plus, we want a black Baroness with all of the equipment and improved articulation from the Crimson model and this is able to be a great way to do this. One in all my runner’s up was the Cobra canine handler, Evening Adder from the Rise of Cobra line. I similar to the thought of an Evil Mutt and Junkyard or Regulation and Order and I’d adore it in the event that they made his canine a Doberman.
3. Determine and small Automobile
Okay, I do know Cobra-La is a bridge too far for a lot of Joe followers, however I really like the bizarre natural monsters from Cobra-La, particularly their chief, Golobulus. I used to be fascinated by the colourful figures in that classic three pack as a child, plus he’s voiced by Burgess Meredith! Gotta love that. He’s additionally had a fairly enjoyable run within the new Cobra Commander guide from Skybound, really preventing and hurting Megatron at one level. His determine had a snake-like decrease physique, however he spends lots of film time on this bizarre floating ball factor that’s considerably like Serpentor’s air chariot, in order that’s why I’d prefer to see him within the determine/automobile class. I’d like to see the Joe staff go to city sculpting all of the slimy, moldy, chitinous textures on this man any approach they do him, so I’d take a deluxe determine in simply snake mode too.
2. Deluxe Determine
Sorry, I’m nonetheless on my Cobra-La BS with this subsequent one. Whereas I feel she may make a fantastic single determine, I’d love a Pythona that got here decked out with a bunch of her bizarre techno-organic gadgets together with her four-headed eel snake factor, acid claw fingers, gasoline bombs, face-huggers and mummifier. After all I want a tender items cloak with a plastic hood that offers you her particular triangular formed hooded look. I’d additionally like a lowered hood piece much like what got here with th G.I. Joe sixtieth Anniversary motion troopers so you might have her hood down look as nicely. Principally I need the physique to characteristic all her bizarre swirly twirly designs as sculpted element.
- Determine and Automobile
When you observe my ramblings on right here or elsewhere on-line, this shouldn’t be a giant shock. Thrasher and the Thunder Machine have been prime desires from me from virtually day certainly one of G.I. Categorised. The Dreadnoks are a few of my favourite Joe figures and I can’t complain as a result of they have lots of love currently, however a Thunder Machine can be an ideal centerpiece for a Dreadnoks assortment. I’ve seen rumors that it’s coming, however nothing tremendous strong. After I talked to Lenny briefly at SDCC final yr concerning the Thunder Machine he appeared to have lots of robust concepts about how a Categorised model ought to be completed, in order that made me hopeful that he’s been engaged on it. He even talked about making the factor much more Mad Max styled than the unique which sounds intriguing. The Categorised VAMP got here out so nice, so I do know they might completely kill this. With Thrasher I’ll have accomplished my childhood assortment in Categorised kind.
Nicely that’s my prime 5 for the second, I don’t count on to see any of it this month, however perhaps SDCC? What would you like extra, inform me and yell at me within the feedback about Cobra-La!
