- If you're like me and you thought that Wreckage was just a made up character to toss in with the Tiger Paw then this video is for you. I did some digging and this guy is a deep-cut of a deep-cut. So let's talk about it.
Glad you are on-board for Wreckage. I always thought he was cool and I like how they've updated him with more personality (read: the tampo on the mask).
There are 2 Joe characters that are exclusive to Tigerforce. One is Wreckage. The other is Skystriker, the pilot of the Tigerrat. The Classified line could change that, in the future, but for me; that makes Wreckage and Skystriker a must! I didn’t get a Wreckage preorder, but I’ll pick him up when he shows up in Target stores!
Oh man I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing the info. And good luck tracking one down.
I kinda hate myself for buying something that is a full-blown repaint of Firefly, but it makes sense now knowing the history of the figure. But even as a kid, seeing all the old vehicles in tiger stripes, I thought it was weird to re-hash all the old stuff.
Firefly's gun.
Firefly's backpack.
Firefly's wobbly-ass torso?
@@ghostman5620 Yep, yes, and yeah. :)
The hunt to find it on the shelf will begin soon.
Very soon.
I was familiar with the repainted Firefly figure. In my head it’s hard to see him as a Joe. It’s Firefly. This figure looks good with the color choices and the face deco. I still just see him as a Firefly in disguise. The Tiger Paw looks good. I want one for my Roadblock coming later. I have a few Tiger RAMs I can flank this Paw vehicle with. I got one from Pulse. I’m sure I’ll see it in store too. The Trouble Bubble is a pretty good sized vehicle Target has carried. I’m hoping for a ground Python Patrol vehicle repaint. I’m not thinking they will but it would be nice to round out that faction.
I didn't get my email until 6:09 it was already sold out by 6:05. Lucky enough I got it on Target. I also think they're creating a supply and demand making you think it's so scarce and they're going to keep on that back in stock down the road.
Yeah this was a big mess. Not the way to do it at all.
My Joe shelf is full. Other than Sci Fi, I might be done with the good guys
Yeah I know the feeling. I'm still looking for a few more JOEs and I may be done as well.
Man I can't wait to get sci-fi and see if they'll update him or stick with the classic design.
Same here, also looking forward to Overkill, Hit & Run, Wet-Suit and Hydro Vipers.
@@Deadspace448 I have room hor quite a few Cobras. It's my Joe shelf that's full. I'll end up with dedicated dteadnok, Cobra la, and misc Cobra shelves
My email from hasbro came at 8:10 local time. To my surprise it wasnt sold out yet. Was able to get this from pulse. This was a giant mess.
Congrats. Glad it worked for you.
Hey Mark I live 2miles outside of Charlotte City limits, what con is coming here and when? As far as the tiger paw, I didn't get an email till 9:30 so I missed out, not that it looked appealing to me but now that I've been able to see his origins snd and the more I look at the pictures I really want one. I've gotten plenty of sold out figures on Target before, if you stalk the site every morning between 7-10am there's a good chance it'll be in stock for a short amount of time, not sure if they do this because of cancelled po's or small amounts of new stock but it definitely works. Either way I believe they'll be easy to get like the pp trubble bubble or at least I hope so. Idk why they'd make less of these than anything else in the pp/tf line. I won't be upset if I miss out though, I'm over fomo and Hasbro's scare tactics and I'm slowing down on what I buy anyway just mainly mainline nostalgic characters because I'm outta space for unnecessary stuff.
It's HeroesCon on June 14-16. I'll have a table there selling the books I draw. Look for me in the guide if you can make it. My name is Marc Thomas and I draw a comic called The Monstrous Adventures of Beowulf and I'll be debuting my new book this year. Hope to see you there.
It funny you had the ferret I had the tiger paw I had five Tiger Force vehicles the Tigercat, Tigerpaw, Tigersting, Tigerrat, and Tigerfly this new Tigerpaw is awesome I made a Sabertooth TigerForce character custom but I still want Wreckage I missed it to but hopefully it well be out in July 1
Yeah I was unaware there were so many Tiger Force vehicles in the 80s line. I'm hoping all who wants one can find one in July. I'll check out your channel and sub. Good luck with the channel. Stay at it, it's a lot of work and a lot of fun.
Thank you ill mention you on one of my videos next week
6:48 if you want what you actually clicked for.
@@ghostman5620 Yeah I did take a while to get to the point.
Hey I just started my channel this week Crimson Cobra Crimson Commander is the name of my channel I made Sabertooth and showed it in one of my videos
Nice. I'll check it out.
lol and now there saying none will be available til October…..I just went on eBay and got the figure and accessories only for $30 free shipping and I can live with that most people are selling him for $40-$50
I don’t collect tiger force vehicles
50 DOLLARS A MONTH!?!! WTF, I've got a few things from pulse but I thought the 50$ was just a one time thing?. Really hasbro, you are going to loose your fans fast with all your money grubing. It's truly sad.
Yo Freaking Joe!
No it's $50 a year. Did I say a month? My bad. Just once a year. Sorry.
@@SaturdayMorningToyCollector ok, I was thinking holy sh*t!. Even though hasbro has been pulling so many greedy strings it wouldn't surprise me.
Yo Freaking Joe!
Blah blah blah 🙄, cool back story dude but that character is ugly as hell. If it was more of the Orange color of the orgianl never released figure it'd look cooler.
This make me hopeful that MY favorite obscure GI Joe character will be released though... codename Rapid Fire. He was a Toys-R-Us exclusive and they made 2 versions of him. My favorite version was a 12' Hall of Fame figure with urban Cameo.
It's extremely possible. Hang in there. It may just happen.
