The rumor for IG Destro and IG is legit, I believe. But two IG's and a Destro? I dunno. The plackard in the foreground of the pic might make it legit, though. And the Greenshirts v. FF and 5pck CG's were supposed to be TrU releases that seem to have been cancelled. The red Hiss I think is a homage to the Sears exclusive back in the day with Target stickers, so I read custom there, too.
It would be nice to know what is custom and what is legit. I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer here, men; I am just a fan, too. |

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the majority if not all that is shown so far.
I just find it amusing that the majority of the positive comments so far have been about the awesome customs and not what Hasbro is offering. I wondered for a second if Hasbro did this on purpose to see what wets our palets, but we still don't have a Slaughter, so...

i could be wrong but that bludd in silver and the hooded cc could be from the pyramid of darkness set, if you look to the right of the bludd or whoever it is theres a black cube with a raised cobra logo on top

It's their own fault for doing this to us in the first place. :P

There is no point in putting out a fake custom of slightly repainted figures that haven't been released yet. Besides, the IG Destro/IG comic pack is not a rumor. We've seen pictures. It is real.

The B.A.T. has a really big gun, or missle launcher if that red thing is a missle by it's feet, in this picture.

Joe Team did the customs so they have a lot more resources to work with.
As for what isn't a custom: Desert 7-pack Arctic 7-pack Ripcord, Wild Bill, Starduster Deep Six?, Torpedo?, Cutter Destro, Iron Grenadier, Iron Grenadier Officer Firefly vs. Green Shirts Crimson Guard 5-pack Stalker repaint? Flint repaint? Major Bludd in silver armor Hooded Cobra Commander near Bludd repaint? Classic Serpentor B.A.T. near Classic Serpentor H.I.S.S. Driver repaint Cobra Commander with blue Trouble Bubble Destro with Crimson H.I.S.S. Steeler? with Mobat I may have missed a few. |

Yay!, not only do I have over 50 Cobra Commanders with more on the horizon, I will now have the pleasure of having a bucket of Destro's to go along with him. I may have to relive some of my younger years and resort to the Mexican fireworks to get some satisfaction out of all of these...
The theory on the blue Trouble Bubble, Mobat and Crimson H.I.S.S. as the Target Ultimate battle pack is intriguing. Can't wait for those to go on clearance! |

Ok, I have to confess, I am more than a little annoyed. I am usually dissapointed when hisstank.com's front page news is about somebody's custom. They are great and all, but I want news about figures that are coming out. And now Hasbro is getting in on this...annoyance. It's like a cruel April Fool's day joke.
