Wow...3 storm shadows? Or is this the camo Stormy?

All in all, I'm quite pleased with the offerings...but if it's another Storm Shadow...meh.

[DESTRO]

Remember when I told you they were going to do the repainted Timbers, well its also confirmed White, Black and Grey. It would put money on A Flint with Gloves and without as well.

[C.I.A.D.]

Wow, very interesting....

Gosh darnit...now I have to get them all.

[Deathx360]

I'm guessing the Cobra Soldier is the single carded Cobra Trooper. Why would it be counted as one of the final 10 if it was already released in the 5-pack?

The others make sense but why a third Storm Shadow? Maybe it is a new Storm Shadow Unmasked. That I could live with since the brown hair on the mailing just doesn't do it for me.

[Blackstarninja]

pretty sure that stormshadow is Satan .
its the same outline as the one on Satans card .

Thanks Corrected.

[C.I.A.D.]

WOW....Satan?!?!?! Holy shnitz! That's awesome!

Thanks for the intel, BSN!

[THE ENEMY]

I'm really excited to see that Firefly and Zartan will be included. It's a safe bet that they'll have at least some recycled parts, but I pray that Firefly's torso isn't just Duke's.

I couldn't agree more, man. I don't mind frankenjoes at all (hell, look at DTC)...but firefly deserves a minty fresh, NEW sculpt.

[Spirit-Iron_Lun]

I have absolutely no complaints with that list.

As for the Cobra Trooper, there is 2 different versions. One has the knife on the opposite leg. Im sure that will be the singe version. Maybe both will be sngle-carded

[Team Jetfire]

Who exactly is Satan?

[apacolypse]

That list sits well with me.

[C.I.A.D.]

Satan is a red ninja repaint of storm shadow from Argentina...but Apac already beat me to the finish ;)

[apacolypse]

Oddly...I never really knew who he was either. I just went searching for him. LOL

[ninja.apprentice77]

Firefly...of course. How could they have done it without him?

And Satan...very interesting. I paid a pretty penny for my carded Satan several years ago. I usually open my figures (they must be played with), but I fugure that he is worthy of staying mint.

But he is significant enough to be in the 25th anniv. Group? Wow...who'd a thunk?

Right? What an obscure figure to be introduced as part of the line....so for those keeping score, so far we have:

Satan
PDD

I wonder what else we will see?

[shacks-stuff]

Can't wait to see them and the packaging :)
Hope it 's all VINTAGE artwork mixed with a kick!

[Blackstarninja]

I gotta say though , even though it may be satan , theres no way hasbros going to call him that
ie: satan = devil .

most likely he'll end up being called red cobra / red ninja or something similar .

Gotta say hi too , I joined awhile ago now but im more a lurker than a poster :)

[jamarmiller]

I love that SATAN is getting a release stateside that is awesome!

[jamarmiller]

oh ya so where can I see this file card leak? images anyone? PM ???

[The Lord of Steel]

Good selection by Hasbro. But we certainly need a new Crimson Guard, Snow Serpent and Eel.

Actually they should give all characters a new mold ;-)

[General Hawk]

Interesting! I'd also agree that it's highly unlikely that Hasbro will release any character referencing "Satan"...I love that they're using his card art, though!

Seeing those silouettes is very, VERY cool. Makes me feel like it's the old days again!

[Team Jetfire]

Thanks for the link to...satan!

I can't imagine that Hasbro would call it that, but we will see.

That being said, it is nice to Hasbro doing that for the fans, but they only have 25 figures for this line...why use it on a figure that a lot of people don't know about.

I love the rest of the list though...

[Spirit-Iron_Lun]

I'm pretty sure Satan will be called Red Ninja or Ninja-Viper, otherwise there would be no troop builder for that wave

that was the original idea to release 25 figures but hasbro has now said the line will continue into 2008 and we are going to see alot more than 25 figures .

Thats probably why there are a few random characters in this one , they can spread all the more obscure ones out , as they still have ages to do them all .

[DESTRO]

Don't forget about the Mail Away Figure.

here ya go

And I have to say I better get a new Duke figure or watch out Hasbro !!

[Deathx360]

Do you want one different than the 5-pack version or do you not know about that one?

[Blackstarninja]

Do you want one different than the 5-pack version or do you not know about that one?
Selfishly I want one as a single carded figure .
Always wanted a v1 duke moc and to get a 25th anniversary one single carded would be simply awesome for me .

[General Scarlett]

I know that they're going with the 'in homage to the original figures' theme.........BUT.........I am really hoping that IF Lady Jaye comes with the hat (which, judging by the 'card art'-she is) it's at least removable and the head sculpt is decent........


But in all honesty??? 86 the hat........I mean, C'MON!! She's so much more recognizable WITHOUT it!!

[Shin Densetsu]

I think he will double as Sei Tin and a red ninja. Thing is they look indistinguishable. They probably did it as a nod to old school fans and as an army builder. I bet the variant will be the ninja viper.

I doubt it will be a single packed figure as Storm Shadow simply because the card art does not match up, that is Satan's card art.

[anyril]

i at least hope with the satan release they give him a bit of an original mold and not just do another red storm shadow

[C.I.A.D.]

All I know is....

If I don't get a v2 Destro & a few Iron Grenadiers....

I WILL MARCH ON PAWTUCKET. :D

I'll join you!! And I'm in CT, so it won't be such a long commute!!!:D

[Cobra]

I was really wanting a new B.A.T. The first one is still the best so far.

[DESTRO]

I second that! A V1 B.A.T. would rock..........

I totally agree with that. Even though you would have thought the hat would have been an iconic piece for her, it just isnt

[Colder Soldier]

Lady Jaye and Stalker will round out a PERFECT Joe set! But no Dr Mindbender for your Serpentor? That sucks. WTF's up with Satan? Anybody that thinks a lame red-repaint of the Storm Shadow is "awesome", IS AN IDIOT! That figure takes the place of one that would really be cool, like Torch, Ripper, or Zarana. Yeah now that I think about it, that list has to be wrong. It does'nt make sense. Not that what Hasbro has been doing with the line the past few years does make sense. Please, PLEASE, I hope they don't mess up our 25th anniversary too!

I'm thankful for the Lady Jaye and Stalker though.

Hey come on now, some of the members here liked Satan growing up and like the Sei Tin character based on him from the recent DDP comics. That doesn't make them idiots. Not to mention it can double as a Red Ninja, which would have been on wish lists as a troop builder sooner or later.

The list is legit. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have been posted. How does the list not make sense? Each of those characters is more recognizable than the Dreadknocks you listed. Your Dreadknoks will probably come soon enough.

I don't see how adding the characters from the list to the anniversary line will ruin the anniversary. The anniversary line was originally only going to consist of the 2 battle packs. THATS IT. I'm happy we are getting an additional battle pack and the single pack figures, because early on, we weren't even going to get all that.

3-3/4 is back at retail next year, so your Dreadknoks will probably hit either late this year or sometime next.

[jamarmiller]

ya I guess I am an idiot then, I love that we are finally getting him, infact I would like more foreign characters made to be honest

[anyril]

personally i think it is nice that hasbro is giving a slot or to to the less known figures of the series. not to mention that with all the possible figures that have been released over the last 25 years they are not going to be able to please everyone

[Colder Soldier]

Okay, knowing that the 3 3/4 line will "supposedly" be back next year does bring me some sense of solace. I say "supposedly" becuase G.I.Joe toys have been cancelled way more times than they should have been. Sorry if my first post started us off on the wrong foot. I'm just saying, I'd like as many "NEW" sculpts as I can get while I'm CERTAIN they should be coming out. Of course I'll buy the Satan figure. But if I needed one that bad I'd simply paint a Storm Shadow myself. I can't sculpt/retool something into a good Zarana.

I'm sorry I called some of my fellow collectors idiots, but don't talk to me like I'm one. There is no way, NO WAY, Satan or Sei Tin or whatever is more recognizable than a Dreadnok! Let's not kid ourselves here. Wait, we should kid ourselves for a moment becuase when we were kids, the G.I.Joe cartoon sold the toys. NOT THE COMIC! I have the complete run of the Marvel series. It was okay for back then. It's really sort of cheesy by today's standards. It's much better than the DDP series though. Most of those are complete CRAP! (I'm probably gonna have to defend my stand on that later.) YES, I'm the guy who thinks a giant, winged, elbow-bladed, tank-throwing, monster-man is cooler than saying the world's most diabolical terrorist is just a disgruntled, car salesman. I like good, MANLY, sci fi/fantasy. Not lame soap operas where a whiney, throw-away character named Billy learns to be a ninja to get back at his daddy.

Where was I...? Oh yeah. As collectors, we really need to start letting toy companies know what we want. Yes, a Satan/Red Ninja Viper would be cool in the long run but not for the 20th anniversary. How about General Hawk. Tomax and Xamot. Hopefully those guys rank up there with Satan.

If all we were "supposed" to get was one 5-pack, and the toy company decided to throw us lowly consumers a bone with a few more trinkets to spend our meager wages on, maybe we have no say on what we would like more. I did'nt think Hasbro owned us like that. I thought it would be in THEIR best interest to bend to OUR will. Oh yeah, I forgot, everyone but me loves everything Hasbro does and would buy a turd if they said it was the new,updated
Iron Grenadier figure.

I really don't like to complain, this is just the first time I've vented myself about my hobby on a public forum. Thanks for giving me the chance and reading what I have to say.

Besides, if Hasbro actually name's a toy "Satan", I'll eat my hat.

[Deefuzz]

Pretty sweet!

I am quite happy with Satan and Serpentor.

I would love to see new Crimson Guards though :(

It won't supposedly be back. It WILL be back. It was confirmed months back that 3-3/4 is back for 2008. The Sigma 6 2.5" scale did not sell well so it will not continue.

Don't get me wrong man, i'm not talking to you like your an idiot. Sure when we were kids the cartoons worked. Many of us grew to like the comic more. Whether or not this is the majority if subject to debate. *I for one thought the comic was written well and overlooked far too much, whereas the cartoon, as good as it was back then, was campy. And I was not one who liked the movie nor cobra la*. Just as we were fans as children, there are children now who are fans too. I wasn't just talking about Sei Tin/Satan being more recognizable than the Dreadknoks. I should have elaborated, a lot of the last 10 are more recognizable then the rest of the dreadknoks. Beachhead, Firefly, Serpentor, they are easier for me to remember than Buzzer, Torch or Monkey wrench. When I think Dreadknok who comes to mind immediately? Zartan.

General Hawk, Tomax and Xamot are most haves for the line. I was surprised to see that they weren't but I'm sure they will come later on. I for one do not like Duke as much and thought Hawk would be a better stand in for the battle pack. Hasbro knows full well we want them as well as the original "13".

The way I see it, hasbro didn't include everyone in the first few waves because:

1-after they are done, who else is left to sell?

2-to add variety

3-in the end they can't please everyone

4-because after deciding to make more than 2 battle packs, and even then more than 25 figures vs the original 10 planned, they plan to spread out releases.

Also most importantly, remember it was Dwight Stall or one of the design team that sculpted 12 figures. When hasbro saw that, they decided to make more than 10 figures, then 25, and now more than 25.

Just be patient, not everything will come out all at once. The joe design team are just as big as fans as we are.

*Besides how can you have an anniversary w/out Hawk and the twins?*
