Real Gear - Wire Tap V20

The third figure in this wave of Real Gear Robots is Wire Tap V20, a repaint of Speed Dial 800 from the first wave of figures.


This figure continues the amusing bio tradition of late, with the nod to 'compromising links' in your web browser history. Oh Wire Tap, you're such a kidder. I believe that I have read that Hasbro is including yet a third version of this figure in the upcoming repaint wave - I think they would have done well to explore one of the other molds in as great detail, but they seem to be particularly fond of this one.

Today's Target Watch finds that they continue to stock the shelves like mad, and holiday happy parents are fully into buying frenzy mode, as product is moving in a day more than it would in a month not that long ago. Interestingly, Target managed to scare up some GI Joe 25th Anniversary figures from some place, and they certainly sold like the wind. Even more interesting still, in Joe 25th Anniversary news, is the arrival of the wave 4 figures on the ol' eBay. This wave finds the character count jumping from 5 to 8, thereby raising the stakes for anyone who plans on staying in the Joe collecting game. The question remains, when the collector with fists full of dollars meets that bid and calls, will Hasbro be able to put their cards on the table, and deliver product on time and in sufficient quantity. Something tells me 'no', so stay on the alert for these figures in a store near you, sooner than expected.
