Well full knowing wave 12 was a repaint wave as well as the recent finalization of the cast of characters, I pretty much remarked in the other threads what these variants would be. I do think this is the weakest wave to date (excluding wave 4, as that was direct repacks) & wave 8 was much better because there was some new tooling & a better cast of characters. My thoughts:
TripWire (desert/mass device):
I am hoping the final does have smooth pads (shown) but a more desert themed color, as this one seems just green again, & to close to the comic version
Storm Shadow (Ninja Gear):
This is an okay kitbash, although I think the stark white makes him look like an apprentice, or an early version of the Resolute design, I think I would have preferred a little more color to him, maybe some brown like he had in DD SS mini series.
Cobra Diver:
Called it. Mass Device all the way. One of my faves of the bunch. Should be more red though in his pallette.
Cobra Trooper (hybrid):
I like change in every figure but this one seems a bit odd at this point... with the mix of comic/cartoon colors, but as I said I like differences, this one is just not so hot even with the differences.
CG (Python Patrol):
Cool.
Ripper (cartoon):
Cool acceptable repaint.
Everyone will complain this wave is a "miss" until it comes out, & then they will all complain they can't find it. Happened with wave 8, & it will happen here too...
