Official Emo Jinx Thread

[Monkeywrench]

This is the official emo Jinx thread. Another highly anticipated and requested ARAH figure has been named a SDCC exclusive. This thread if for you to whine and complain. To beg for help or to just call us a bunch of emotional bitches.

Let your h8te out people! roposetoast:

 

[derek_001]

yall are emotional bitches idk why but you told me to say it... lol

 

[NSA]

I hope we get to make some nerds cry..

Who the hell cares about Jinx? Of all characters...

 

[derek_001]

who is jinx anyways?

 

[Monkeywrench]

Jinx is the most important female ninja from the arah line!


she's also the only one

She's a kunoichi (Japanese for Ninja with tits), the only one in the original line (I don't count that redheaded tramp Scarlett as a ninja).

She should have come out before that useless Bruce lee-wannabe Quick Kick.

 

[NSA]

But.. but.. fucking NINJAS? What place do NINJAS have? Everyone hates Snake Eyes and SS.. why care because she's got little plastic titties?

 

[K-Tiger]

Everyone here hates those 2 because the good-to-bad figure ratio is like 1:12.

I'm not a fan of how ninjas are depicted in the Joe Universe (Like Wolverine, only more douchey), but then again I like Zombie-Vipers.

Cannaeexactly go tell all the ninja fans that they should go sit in a closed garage with a running car now, can I?

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Just wait for the video. This years theme: Arson

 

[Monkeywrench]

what's wrong with little plastic titties?

 

[K-Tiger]

They're usually covered by little plastic shirts.

 

[Monkeywrench]

but these are covered by a little plastic gi

 

[Monkeywrench]

I think one of my biggest disappointments is the fact that now we aren't going to get a Presidential Zartan. I thought for sure since Jinx is all over the trailer and appears to be a pretty decent part of the movie, we would get a arah version of her somewhere. I'm let down and arah Jinx isn't worth the $20-$40 that she's gonna cost.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

what's wrong with little plastic titties?

Bigger plastic ones are better but way more expensive.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Bigger plastic ones are better but way more expensive.

They're more fun to play with too!

 

[NSA]

We could still get a President.. maybe maybe.. 14 more figures!

 

[Monkeywrench]

that's true. 7 more Rb's, 5 more SE, a SS and CC

 

[derek_001]

Jinx is the most important female ninja from the arah line!

oh ok? sounds nerdy

 

[xhairs]

man hasbro needs to stop with this shit already wtf. i know someone going so i hope they can hook me up.

 

[pcsguy88]

You obviously have never had a set around to play with. I'm yet to meet one with a set that doesn't bitch about them hurting and how sensitive (in the bad way) they are. Look, but don't touch. Fucking worthless.

I've played with a few sets, maybe yours was just a stupid bitch

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

hahaha! ^

But.. but.. fucking NINJAS? What place do NINJAS have? Everyone hates Snake Eyes and SS.. why care because she's got little plastic titties?

everyone haes SS and SE because theres literally 40 versions of each of them...we all love Jinx because theres only one version of her...

Hasbro are d!cks...no doubt in my mind...they keep making the very desired figures very expensive (after scalper mark-up, that includes BBTS) and hard to acquire...

exclusive figure slots should be reserved for less popular figures so that its not a b!tch for the fans of them to get a hold of...

sadistic a$$holes...plain and simple sadistic a$$holes

 

[lancelot]

I wouldn't be so pissed that Jinx is just a Comicon exclusive if I new there's to be a version of her using somewhat different tooling later on in the retaliation line, but lets be honest with our-self's Hasbro hates all female characters that are not Scarlett.

Also DON'T TALK SHIT ABOUT NINJAS!

 

[xxxx]

jinx...aptly named!

 

[Fled74]

The one figure I was definitely gonna get multiples of, and Hasbro made her totally inaccessible to me. Bastards.

 

[PROVOST]

I like Ninja characters in the Joeverse and out of it too.

This situation means like all other times if I want the figure/s I will do whatever I have to do to get them.

It's how I approach my collecting - single-minded and at all costs.

What did you expect from Hasbro? Chap Mei made an Osprey and a Skycrane helo that resembled the Cobra helo. Gi joe is supposed to be an elite unit yet this company beat Hasbro to the punch. They have poor marketing research and a poor design team. Look how long it it came to make the October Guard and no vehicles. Lanard makes the six wheeled vehicle and PTE makes the the BTR. Did all these products sell in 1:18th scale? Now True Heros came out with a C130.They sure love neon colors though. Eco warriors was brilliant? Don't you think?

 

[Monkeywrench]

Well at least Jinx didn't get the T-crotch treatment

Point of clarification, PTE did a Type 92 IFV, not a BTR, though you could probably easily use it as an Eastern Bloc IFV.

I would say Hasbro is fairly limited to what they can do vehicle-wise in a movie line, but then again they pulled all kinds of junk out of their ass for Captain America.

Well at least Jinx didn't get the T-crotch treatment

Yet....

 

[rds13601]

Not only is their view limited in the movie line; it's been limited in figure and vehicle development for the past 30 years. Painting weapons and vehicles neon orange? They made an Apache in 1991 with battle sounds;but only it wasn't in olive drab it was in desert tan and it was in 1:24 scale so you couldn't fit a figure in it.I had one and returned it. Genius!!

 

[K-Tiger]

Bbi for the most part remedied Hasbro's failing on that score.

 

[lancelot]

I think Hasbro likes to fuck with the Joe fans. They've been bitching, whining, and arguing, and demanding Quin for so long, and then Hasbro completely trolls them by making Jinx, a main character of the film, a Comicon exclusive and therefore probably not making another version of her for the retail toy line. It's a double fuck you to the community, never-minding the possibility that they might actually disallow the vehicle drivers any note worthy articulation thereby presenting a triple fuck you. Actually when you put the cheezy lame rocket launchers that Duke, CC, and Roadblock were pictured with that are worse than the ROC ones it's a quadruple fuck you to all the Joe fans in that respect. Retaliation is looking like it's going to be the worst Joe toy line ever. You know it's bad when the "Ninja Combat Cruiser" is one of the only appealing things in it (and that's just for people who want to repaint it a decent color!).

Hopefully I'm wrong, but it's fucking HASBRO were talking about! They may not have even made any sculpts for a Bruce Willis figure for all we know!

This line is a total cluster fuck you to any and all toy collectors.

Wrong.

You could fit a figure in there:

It was small, at least according to 1:18 standards, but by that point there were no 1:18 military vehicles out that I know of, it was perfect for kids. KIDS. I imagine it was Desert Tan because of the Gulf War which took place around this time.

People who get so worked up and hate so blindly are ridiculous. Look at the 30th Anniversary figures, and the PoC figures before it, how is that limited figure design? Look at the 25th line compared to ARAH, even RoC improved the figure design and helped them perfect their process.

It's gotten to the point where I wish they'd only sell to kids, collectors are in a perpetual state of having their panties in a twist over toys.

 

[lancelot]

That's probably why Hasbro loves trolling them.

 

[NSA]

It's honestly been my experience from the get-go that Hasbro does the best they can throwing the collectors a bone when they can, while at the same time trying to market a brand to the mass-market.

Do kids care about an ARAH-colored Jinx? No way. Only collectors do. Thus it's a perfect fit for a SDCC exclusive. Now you don't have to worry about little Timmy's sweaty paws crinkling your AFA9.5 card.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Whoa! Wait a minute. You mean Kids actually play with Joes too?

 

[rds13601]

If you call that fitting. Look at that nice seam gap between the canopy and the fuselage. I couldn't fit any of mine without their helmets above the canopy. Maybe mine was a defect. Who knows? You win on this one NSA.

 

[rds13601]

If it weren't for collectors though NSA; Hasbro wouldn't see as much profits from the line as they do.

That's a common line from people, but no body has any concrete info to support this claim. It may, or may not, be true. All we have to go on is a forum(s) of collectors stating they alone are keeping the line alive.. but surely there has to be other people, kids, parents, non-forum-goer's who are buy stuff as well.

Until Hasbro breaks down some kind of detail on where the sales are taking place (BBTS/Online vs Brick-n-mortar at least), we can't claim any one segment is keeping the line alive.

And really, if collectors had as much clout as people seem to think, I think that Hasbro would be listening more.

 

[rds13601]

With utmost respect NSA, I don't think kids were the ones buying the Cobra Island packs or POC packs or different Hiss tank color variants. In my opinion, I don't think they have the money or the attention span given the amount of advertising, toy lines and video games thrown their way.
