Favorite Wave 9 Figure

[EEL]

Just curious now that wave 9 is out, which one seems to be everybodies favorite figure. I have to say mine is Snow Serpent followed closely by the B.A.T.

[G.I.Eddie]

favorites...

JOE - Bazooka
COBRA - B.A.T.

[Syn3sthesia]

1. Snow Serpent.
2. BAT
3. Bazooka

[hamilcar]

it's pretty much a toss-up between BAT and Snow Serpent for me. they both look fantastic. i gave the slight edge to the BAT.

[Michael Jade]

Snow Serpent for sure. I was never a fan of the Bats when I was a kid. I always thought they were kinda lame.

[fred V]

#1 bat #2 snow serpent #3 BBQ

[Kalibus]

I was never a fan of the bat but the 25th version has changed my mind. Its a very well made figure and it just kicks butt. Hell all of wave 9 is a winner.

1 BAT
2 Snow Serpent
3 Hawk
4 Bazooka
5 BBQ

[Monkeywrench]

BAT and then Hawk

[GI FLINT]

BAT. looks great and a fav as a kid. found one yesterday that was left behind because of a bent corner - the card is now in the trash and the BAT is now on my desk.

[jjk1120]

I'd love to say, but no wave 9 in my area...

[foor]

Definitely BAT for me. Followed by Snow Serpent. Got to love the detail on the BAT's chest.

[b24sharky]

Snow Serpent all the way. It's a shame Barbecue doesn't have a removable helmet, still a nice figure though.

[Jinx723]

NONE, just because I don't own them yet. But from the begining it's always been:

Cobra: B.A.T.s= BadAssTrooper

G.I.Joe: Gen.Hawk

[BigErn]

Gotta go with Hawk, that was always my favorite version of him. My only problem is that his head looks a little too nice/happy otherwise it's great.

[DOC]

B.A.T's all the way for me.. Then Hawk and BBQ. The Snow Serpents are a little disappointing, Not in there appearance but the lack of standing ability even with there snow Shoes on.....STILL love the whole wave 9 set No major complaints for me

[ZombieSnake]

Hawk for me, easily. This is the figure I've been waiting for since the begining. This was the version of Hawk I had growing up and was THE leader of GI Joe for me.

[fett413]

This is a hard one. Snow Serpent, BAT and BBQ are simply amazing figures. Bazooka and Hawk are alos done well, but just can't hold a candle to the top three. But, for me it has to be Snow Serpent....incredible figure.

[vadersquest]

Bazooka got my vote. Might have been the bat but I have yet to find one.......

[Black Rose]

I went with the B.A.T. - but Snow Serpent is a close tie.

[Shogi]

The BAT blows them all outta the water, but unlike most waves, every figure in this wave (Except for Ninja-Ku) is beyond awesome.

[Snow cat]

#1 bat #2 snow serpent #3 BBQ

Thats the order i like.

[ShakeZula77]

1. B.A.T.
2. B.A.T.
3. B.A.T.

To bad I will never find them in my area. My wal-mart has had wave 4 and only wave 4 for 6 months.(no exaggeration Road-block, Scarlet, Destro, Cobra Commander, Gung-ho) There has never been any restocking of Joes since before X-mas. I'm losing my mind.

[xhairs]

hawk then bat

[K.B.]

I voted for BBQ. One of my faves and most cherised figures as a kid and he looks like he kicks a ton of ass in the 25th style :)

[AlternateUniverse Steeler]

Hawk The Old Man!

[hwheels2]

dammit i cant even vote for wave 8 yet!

[SNAKE EYES]

1. Hawk - perfect

2. Bazooka - looks better when in hand then in the pics

3. Barbecue - great looking figure

4. BAT - awesome

5. Snow Serpent - looks bad ass

6. Ninja Ku Storm Shadow - almost didn't buy it, but I had to have the whole wave. He would look better without the gold trim and weapons.

Wave 9 is pure win even with Ninja Ku Storm Shadow



SEE)

[Crimson Rage]

I don't like judging just by photos. I've looked forward to a few figures, got them in hand and been disappointed while at the other end of the spectrum I've heard horror stories about others that I ended up liking (Major Bludd being a prime example). As such, I won't vote until I have them all (which could be some time!)

My obvious gut reaction is the BAT, but I can't underestimate the allure of Barbeque.

[Quick_Kick]

General Hawk does it for me, just love the box art and of course the figure is sweet!!

Looking forward to wave 10 Mutt & Junkyard's single card!!

[Mr. Focus]

I voted for the unsung hero...Sgt. Bazooka! This figure exceeded my expectations by far. His scale is PUUUR-FECT! This figure has captured the 'Realism' factor with perfectly sculpted head and helmet of which is tailored just for Bazooka, his proportional stature resembles a retired football player, noticeable detail to his jersey and I like the veins in his hands. GREAT job Hasbro!!!

[slowrey]

once i get wave 9 up here in maine i will tell u my Favorite

[Knifewerk]

the bat is the best looking figure imo but i really dig bazooka. i was super surprised by this figure and the sculpt, paint, and articulation show what the figures could be like every time. there is no need for the crappy 'duke wrist' anymore.

Ha...I forgot to mention that Sgt. Bazooka has fingernails...BOO-YOW!!!

[Dawg99]

my favs bazooka and bat

[Hoot]

Gotta be the BAT

[DESTRO]

B.A.T. > All Other 25th Figures BAT( BAT( BAT(

[MAJOR WOLF]

Snow Serpents Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Viper6]

ive only gotten my hands on bazooka, passed on ku, and just picked up trouble bubble and ram cycle all else is vaccant round hyo...but from the detailed images i have seen...serpy takes the cake, and whatever else he wants

[Viper6]

just to be clear i own everything else up to this point save a few exceptions i didnt want, re reading that seemed like my collection consisted of two vehicles and three figs and my friends, that is just not the case...but oh doesnt wifey wish it were so. lol

[cmderinchief]

People will undoubtedly answer BAT, but when you see the detail on the Snow Serpent too, it may change your mind.

[Viper6]

B.A.T. > All Other 25th Figures BAT( BAT( BAT(

isnt it lame that for all their terminator esque attributes(implied) that they went down waaaaay to easy in the cartoons?

[gunslingercbr]

Snow Serpent, but Bazooka is a close second.

[EEL]

I'm surprised General Hawk is more popular than Barbecue. I thought for sure Barbecue was gonna be a contender in this, guess not........

[Dreadwind]

The B.A.T. has always been my #1 favorite figure. That will never change! I went apeshit when I first saw it.

[slim19722]

I'm gonna say the BAT is my fav. I have the whole wave, but I've only opened my extra's of SS, Hawk, BAT ,and Snow Serpent, but the whole wave is definately a great wave.

[FadetoBlack2880]

The B.A.T. is cool, but I gotta go with Barbeque. He was a favorite when I was a kid.

[Amberbratt]

I was never a fan of the bat but the 25th version has changed my mind. Its a very well made figure and it just kicks butt. Hell all of wave 9 is a winner.

1 BAT
2 Snow Serpent
3 Hawk
4 Bazooka
5 BBQ


Im with Kalibus


Kinja Ku is a black storm shadow

I have only to say "MEH"

[Gung.Heaux]

gotta go with hawk....but the snow serpent is so close behind its a photo finish.

[harkiri]

I may be the only one who picks Ninja ku, but my reason is that he makes a nice Snake Eyes declassified Arashikage snake eyes. Of couse there will probably be a movie toy to fill that one next year, but I still like him.

besides since the original ninja ku is WAY out of my price bracket...this one will do nicely

[Ruderic]

I'd love to say, but no wave 9 in my area...

Ditto

[ceraurus]

This was a toss-up for me. I voted for the BAT, but it could have gone another way.

[crazyfellow1]

bat and snow serpent

[morgana08]

I like Ninja Ku, Hawk and Bazooka but my favorite out of this wave would have to be Barbecue.

[Money-B]

I had to say the B.A.T., but I still will be getting a bunch of those Snow Serpents. If I could only have 2 from wave 9, give me those two.

[JR0d28]

ALL OF THEM I WOULD LOVE TO GET MY HANDS ON ALL OF THEM!

For trade
Wave 7 Spirit
Wave 7 Duke With Shipping Crease possible opener
Wave 8 TF Flint
Wave 8 Viper Cartoon Logo
Wave 8 Mjr. Bludd in a Doc Plastic case
and Crimson Guard 3 pack TRU

[JR0d28]

With exception of Wild Bill & Torpedo don't want them. And snow serpent picked him up last week

[crazyfellow1]

isnt it lame that for all their terminator esque attributes(implied) that they went down waaaaay to easy in the cartoons?

the worst part was how they varied in toughness, some took only one shot and others were practically invincible, didn't make a whole lot of sense...

[Silent Ninja]

Snow Serp. then B.A.T.

[botticus]

It's a toss-up between Barbeque and Bazooka. BBQ's a better figure over all, but Bazooka is such a great take on the original I had as a kid.

But yes, all are good.

[NateR]

I pick Bazooka, he's just a perfect representation of the character and a HUGE improvement over the 1985 version.

General Hawk is a really good figure, but his elbows have such a limited range of motion, that he might as well not even have elbow joints.

The B.A.T. is a great figure and I count 144 possible arm combinations; but I never really liked the androids when I was a kid. That was when the GI Joe line started to cross too far over into sci-fi and fantasy for my tastes.

Barbecue and the Snow Serpent are really well done, but I'm just not that enthusiastic about the characters.

[coola784]

barbeque is so sweet! i cant say overall because i dont have snow serpent or bazooka yet. i like them all though. they did such a great job with this wave.

[SPECTER]

Hawk for sure. didnt plan on buying him but did, I like him so much hes in my top 5 figures I have ever had.

[CaptainDinobot]

Hard choice, except for Stormshadow, I really like rest of them but I will pick General Hawk followed by the B.A.T.

[82joe]

When I find any I'll let ya know

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

The Invisible Ones that I Have Out Here Look Great You Cant Even See That There !

[popsicleviper]

I haven't opened mine yet.

[optimusred6]

My wave 9 favorite:
General Hawk
B.A.T
Bazooka

[ToyCollector]

Hawk and Bat for me!

[JR0d28]

Good guys got to be Hawk then Bazooka
Bad guys Ninja Ku finally a black ninja and then BAT

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

I Voted Bat

but i love the w9 Hawk aswell

[SNAKE EYES]

It's Alive It's Alive this old ass thread lives again, but seriously wave 9 for me at least was a win all around every figure was cool even Ninja Ku.

[darkshadow]

the troopers no doubt.

[RuckusJr]

I was wondering who the idiot was that started this post recently. Don't reply, you're confusing my tiny brain!

[1SGHauser]

The BAT is no doubt sweet, but I have fond memories of Barbecue when I Was a kid. I got him and the mirage cycle at the same time and he has since become one of my favorites... And this update looks pretty sweet as well.

Barbecue wins by not only having a sculpt I enjoy, but also has nostalgia on his side.

[zenfakor]

Hawk.

[samantha]

Snow Serpent.

[TTT]

It's Alive It's Alive this old ass thread lives again,

ZOMBIE Thread!!!
I voted BAT.

[Colt Blue]

BAT and Snow Serpent pretty much tied for Cobra side and Barbecue for Joe.

[Atreides]

I voted Barbeque cause I loved that figure as a kid. But the whole wave was awesome. Had to buy every one.

[DaViper]

snow serpents for me just because of nostalgia reason. My mom bought it for me and I remember that day so clearly when I got him. The BATs are badass thought!

[Joecom]

B.A.T. hands down then

2:Snow Serpent
3:Hawk
4:BBQ
5:Bazooka

[mynameis]

ssssssnow sssssserpent

[arashikage tat]

for me it was a toss up between the B.A.T and GH
but ultimately the BAT was by far the best fig out of that wave imo

[Zoltron]

BAT do you even have to ask?

Thats one of the best joe figures ever and it sucks it won't be repainted as "Robo Viper" for the movie line.

[Hicks_Royel]

Not to be confused with Robo-JOE
