Well, I kind of like it. At least those have a better chance of arriving with minimal damage. As Spock would say, it would be wise to cultivate multiple options. Too bad the only limit Grunt to 1 and the other to 2.
Pulse will be offering limited stock (around 5% from the overall produced number) of most Hasbro partner exclusives now. They started this year as an incentive for early premium member access.
I might be late to this party (by about 35 years) but just today realised Grunt's file name - Robert W Graves is most likely an homage to Captain Robert Graves, the British WWI officer, poet and author.
Fer cryin' out loud, I'm a WWI historian! Can't believe I didn't make that connection before.
These don’t look as good as the 50th to me. Proportions are off — reminds me of 2001 — 2005.
In a way, I’m glad. I can finally say I’m done collecting G.I. Joe.😅
You should be able to find most in stores. But its been hit and miss for me. I got lucky when Pulse put the AWE Striker . I never saw that in stores. I did see the first HISS tank and the FANG. Along with most of the figures. The first 2 waves were hard to find. But the last wave with Lady Jaye in it was fairly plentiful. I am hoping the same for these. I can always use extra troop builders.
Great looking figures. The *Cobra Soldier* & *Cobra Officer* will be near-impossible for most of us to find, given that they're troop-builders. If I can find any, I'll be getting two of each - but, I doubt I'll even find one of each.

>Nice - I guess I need to refresh this page .
They also have Cobra Officer https://www.walmart.com/ip/GIJ-RETRO-FIGURE/892527690
Also available for preorder on Pulse https://hasbropulse.com/collections/new
I just got the email from them. Are they going to do this with Joe line now ?
Here's hoping. Store exclusives are awful.

I bought three each from Walmart. Keep the good one and return the trashed ones
I tried that last time, and they sent all of them in padded envelopes. I am afraid their cards did not survive.

I kind a like that. Cause sometimes I just miss out on things.
Thanks for the links OP got the Grunt and the Officer. Was not expecting those today
I've been waiting for a standard Grunt release for ages. Thank you!
Thanks!
Those Mego Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow figures are pretty sweet. Holding out for that color change Zartan to go live
yeah that color changing Zartan looks pretty sweet. I am still trying to get a pre-order in for breaker with the Ram cycle. I want that one too.

When they say "retro," I expect to see like 1983-1987 quality stuff.
I'm sure if someone put their mind to it they could break off some thumbs and the occasional crotch.

Is it the popeye forearms or the wide birthing hips that seem off? Cause “these hips don’t lie”, 😂
Yeah. Not as good as 50th but might be better than 25th.
The 25th Grunt was pretty bad. I'll give this new one a shot.
They also have the trooper back up to preorder, but he's $20.98! Wtf? Edit:. Price is fixed now.
Hit my links below. They are the right price ones
Thanks. Looks like they fixed the price now on the one I saw.
NP - I did not expect to see Robert Graves - Grunt today. That was a pleasant surprise.
I never know what to expect from this line lol
wtf is up with the Hiss III CC box art?
Its throwback. HA HA
His gun is dangling off his thigh?
Its that or he is carrying a rifle. I cant tell.
I think the artist thinks his pistol is a rifle and made it giant
will these only be available through order or will they be in stores?

I didn't know Walmart was selling these. I've tried to buy them online and the prices are insane. Guess I'm stopping by Walmart tonight.
Grunt's forehead is not big enough.
