Man...you know, this stuff looks nice and all, but I cannot believe all of the love being levelled on these figures, simply because they didn't get released.
Everyone rants and raves about the Rise of COBRA having too many repaints and reissues of the same old characters...well, what about Night Force Falcon and Resolute Storm Shadow?? Repaints and rehashed characters that everyone lambastes when they come from the Rise of COBRA.
Night Force was fairly popular so Falcon was a welcome repaint, and most Joe fans loved Resolute. Come on did anyone really think the most battle hardened and vocal fanboys on the internet would actually
DEMAND
a Snake Eyes figure? No, but
Resolute
did that and after episode 8, what fan
didn't
want a Resolute Storm Shadow figure?
To fans Night Falcon and Reso Storm Shadow have relevance, they aren't just offscreen repaints "just cause". Sure the movie line does have some excellent repaints and retools(and new figures), but the demand for Resolute Storm Shadow and Lt. Falcon has nothing to do with the complaints about the movie line. Had the cancelled wave been a wave like wave 12, I don't think anyone would cared as much.

No because Resolute was very popular with the majority of fans and Lt. Falcon was a welcome repaint with relevance. Why do fans usually complain about tons of Snake Eyes, Dukes, and Storm Shadows or Cobra Commanders? Because most of the time they are repaints and nothing more, and sometimes repaints that don't either pay homage to an old line, cartoon/comic appearance, et al, or are just carried over to fill in spots in the wave. Had the Storm Shadow in wave 14 been a carry over of wave 1 Storm Shadow, and had Lt. Falcon just been the same "Duke armed" Falcon from the comic pack, THEN you'd get the same kind of complaints that you brought about the Rise of Cobra line.
Jungle Assault Storm Shadow might not come with the removable shirt that Resolute Storm Shadow had. We don't even know for sure if he will be in the multi-pack next year(yeah we can predict that he will but who knows).
