Seems like even the Real American Hero is getting the blind mini figure treatment.

These come up with these things never compatible with anything...and they last for a little while and then are gone. It's hard to care. The Lego and Playmobil blind bagged items go with something. These are just another novelty that will fade away.

They look like Squinkies, LOL

They already gave them this treatment once before. I forgot the name of the line and they looked a little different, but it was done. And it appeared to be a failure as they weren't out there for very long and then clearanced. I just don't get the appeal of these figures.

Hmmm, I'm guessing this means the Hasbro micro figures won't be coming out, then?

The squinkies things I'd assume are still on the way. This looks like Mezco figures. There were already the larger versions. Lately they have been making mini versions of those. The difference being a sculpted head rather than all the round heads with painted details.

Still, firefox is right. Those went over like something heavy that doesn't fly well and I'm betting dollars to donuts these won't either.

Now the Joe Micro Force just look like little neat things I can build up on the side. http://generalsjoes.com/wp-content/gall ... oForce.jpg

The Loyal subjects = Rip off of Kid Robot.

Not interested. There's enough good Vinyl figures, these aren't them

Oh yeah, no doubt these will not do well and the toy company should have known better. But then again, maybe they are so cheap to make that even if they sell a hand full they will be happy with the small profit they might make. I mean we all know there are plenty of people that will buy GIJoe toilet paper if that logo is sitting on the package, haha!

Those are ugly, and even if I did want one, I don't like the idea of "blind box" items. These will likely sell as well as the "Mighty Muggs" from a few years back.

Yeah, these will have their buyers (again, like "Mighty Muggs" had) and probably aren't intended for die-hard Joe guys, but more for those with a light interest in toys.

So yeah, I'll probably pass on these all together.

Alright, fast forward to 2016. The first series sucked and I don't really know many that actually bought them. That said, I really like the series 2. All the changes and fun designs to the figures. They're like little Japanese Chibi figures or what have you. Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles pulled me into their new style and the new He-Man with GIJoe right behind it helped make me a fan.

Hey a Dusty

Haha, yeah I haven't figured out what that Dusty is in. He's not in the blind boxes. I've seen people with him though and from what I understood he wasn't suppose to come out until he was released with the watchtower.

These are just way too expensive for blind bagged figures. I don't have the hate-on for vinyl figures some people do (I have a few Pop figures, including Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes), and I enjoy blind bags when they are cheap, but if I'm going to spend as much as these things go for, I want to know what I'm getting.
