Just bought my first 25th haul today...
I do have other 25th (Zartan, Dreadnoks, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes), but those are basically my minimal figures that I usually always buy.
For Sigma, I only have Zartan, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes (all 12" figures)... just to give you an idea.
So today was my first real haul. I'm sure a lot of other people gave reviews when they were first released. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that's thinking this way about the 25th.
So, here's what I bought today.
Bazooka
- I never realized that he was supposed to be so... beefy. His chest... looks weird. Maybe because it looks so detached. The accessories looks great. Maybe it's because I'm so used to his scrawny body with the original figure. Was he this big in the cartoon?
Barbeque
- He really caught my eye. I really like this figure, it's a great upgrade.
Baroness
(Blue Outfit) - Not sure how I feel about this one. A little too much leg, the chest is detached too much, and she's hunched forward. Not sure about the green glasses either. I almost prefer the previous version in the black outfit with the regular round glasses which is closer to the cartoon.
Duke
(with rocket backpack and flag) - Duke looks good. Looks kind of plain ... then again, that's just how I feel about Duke.
Flint
(Tiger Force) - He looks good... except his face. Why is he looking up?
Copperhead
(comic book 2-pack that comes with Shipwreck) - Copperhead looks awesome.... nuff said.
Shipwreck
(comic book 2-pack that comes with Copperhead) - I like that he has a life-jacket because he's usually riding shotgun on the WHALE. Nothing else really strikes out from this figure.
Destro
(DVD Pack that comes with Lady Jaye and Roadblock) - I have to be honest that the main reason why I bought this was because of Destro. He looks really good. His colors just look awesome. I really like this version of Destro.
Lady Jaye
(DVD Pack that comes with Destro and Roadblock) - Wow... finally a Lady Jaye that looks good and without that damn cap. The second reason why I bought this set. She just looks good. Lots of accessories for her pack, VERY happy with this one.
Roadblock
(DVD Pack that comes with Lady Jaye and Destro) - My first Roadblock.... EVER. Don't have the 80's version. Just wasn't a fan of him so I never got him. I do like this figure though... wish it came with the heavy machine gun.... but that's what Marauders is for.
Now I'm going through my original collection... and it looks like I will be building a duplicate collection with the 25th (minus some vehicles).
Thanks for reading!
