All those figures look great, though those customs were probably ones I loved the most; imagine how happy I was when I thought Hasbro actually cared to make 25th versions of figures like Lifeline, Leather Neck, Airtight, and Shockwave, then imagine how that happiness degraded into frustration and swearing once I realized they're just custom figures and probably won't see production for a long, long time, if ever.
Still, the other figures look really great and I would love to buy them. I only see three issues I hope can be looked into: Lady Jaye's cap should, in my opinion, look more like a baseball cap; Serpentor really needs his "cobra hood" like the original; Zartan's prototype appears to be wearing a shirt under his armor, unlike the original which was shirtless. These are really minor issues and I'll buy them either way, but it would be nice if Hasbro would look into such isues before they're released.
As for the Cobra boxed set, I have mixed felings. Though I'm sure there are people who love the new Storm Shadow look, I still like the classic one more, and never actually knew about this outfit until recently. Furthermore, I was really hoping Cobra Commander would be wearing his 1987 armor and not just be a repaint (come to think of it, the whole boxed set is repaints!!!). The Soldier looks great, and so do the Stinger driver and Pilot with the jetpack... in fact, they look so good, I REALLY wish they would have considered replacing Storm Shadow and CC with two other cobra soldier-type figures to make this an army-builder set. But oh well. I might break down and buy two sets anyways, 'cause I love those soldiers and drivers!
Nice to see Stalker is using Snake-Eye's body, I must say. I'm really hoping Hasbro will make the whole original Joe team from 82, since most of them used the same (or similar) body anyway! I've always wanted an updated version of the original team, and I'm hoping Hasbro can deliver!
All in all, I can't wait to see more pics and to hear more from Hasbro concerning future figures and vehicle possibilities. This 25 Anniversary has made me a Joe collector once again!!
