Someone must have put them on the wrong pegs, then. Thought they were a bit much for a 3 3/4" figure. They are $17.99 CDN at Walmart

retail price on the gi jo retros is $12.93 Thanks, Chip. That's cheap enough to change my mind. I'm a sucker for the packaging, so that alone is worth that price.

Its an old figure that came in a 2pack with a blue Iron Man and alternate Maria Hill head Or maybe the Maria Hill from the TRU SHIELD 3pack

I WANT TO get into these so bad but with everything else...I just can’t . I have to draw a line. But they look really good despite piss poor distribution and what not. I’d love to see Footloose, Bazooka, Quick Kick, Alpine, Dreadnoks, Lowlight, Outback, Tunnel Rat, Crimson Twins, Crimson Guardsmen, Vipers, Scrap Iron, Firefly, Mutt and Junkyard, Flint, Mindbender, Lady Jaye. I just downloaded the new game on Switch on Saturday. Digging it all

I unfortunately already gave up and sold my MIB collection thus far. Oh well I’ll just keep buying the originals here and there better for the wallet anyway.

I'd also like to see the retro version of Beach Head. Quick Kick would be awesome to have in any form. I'd also like to see Monkeywrench, Crocmaster, Zandar, Zarana, Big Boa, Lifeline, B.A.T.S., and Barbecue.

They could repaint Shang Chi from Marvel Legends for Quick Kick and I'd be good with it. Crimson Twins have to happen, though. Same with B.A.T.S. Crocmaster has always been a personal favorite, but I'm not holding my breath unless the line goes for years. Zandar is way underrated. Zarana will happen, though I don't like her as much as Zandar and Zartan.

A pacifist and yet he’s holding a big ol pistol on his ‘86 card IIRC (I loved the red.)

I remember as a kid my older brothers favorite was Beach Head and mine was Shockwave. I would so love to see him in retro form again. Doubtful, but who knows..

I so did not want to get into this 6" Joe line. Next to wrestling, G.I. Joe defined my childhood; I've got an impressive ARAH collection already, I didn't need more. And this line is a scalper's paradise - cobra troopers...troopers! going for $120+ on evilbay, it's insanity.
But here I am - no troopers, but just got Supreme Cobra Commander added to my collection last night and it's a fantastic figure! And 00 Snake Eyes exclusive is on the way as well. I can't wait for Flint, BATS, EELS!!! I wonder how deep they will go in the '85/'86/'87 roster of joes...I've fallen down the rabbit hole.

Sooooo many amazing figures in this line and the possibilities are endless of who’s to come!!!

The good thing with this line (for me and many others probably) is that it's going to largely be classic characters. For better or worse, the main roster has mainly stayed the same the last 30+ years, and their popularity is still there. Yeah, you have a Kamakura or whomever here and there, but mostly it's all about those golden years of the original line, so I expect to see a lot of amazing releases.

ive already accepted the fact i am never finding a beach head or baroness at retail...and i will NEVER pay the prices they are going for on ebay, so i can only hope they have plans to repaint them both down the line so i can at least have 1 representation of each in my collection

Don't give up, you just never know.

I've still never seen Baroness. She's the only one I haven't seen at least once of stuff that's hit retail. I'm hoping Hasbro can get more out as we approach Black Friday. I check pretty much everyday since I live across the street from a Target. I haven't seen anything GI Joe for at least a month plus. I'd be ok if Target over compensates and we get flooded with the Firefly wave by Christmas.
