Right, they may have created Lt Stone to BE the Action Force Flint. So Flint and Action Force Flint could be in Sigma 6 without a Star Trek paradox.

I just love that SE. It's a great mix of all.
John Warden, the designer, when I was talking with him said that after the first all the SEs had strayed away from the commando aspect and he wanted to return to that. Warden definately had love for the figures and was very proud of Low-Light. He made the comment that with the level of detailing/accessories that PoC has, it makes the 25th/ME lacking, which I agree with. Anyway definitely some cool looking figures coming out this year. Not in the UK mind you :( but even ebay is cheaper than buying GI Joe stuff at RRP in the UK so no great loss there. Not sure if this page is up to date (G.I. Joe: The 2010 Pursuit of Cobra SuperPage | Generals Joes - A blog about the importance (or unimportance) of little plastic men), but what are your thoughts on the Wave 2 snake eyes - not the fact he looks weird, but what on earth is he supposed to be?

Just a really "off the wall" thought, this just might be a coincidence. But was Sigma 6 Lt Stone really Action Force Flint? Both are Helicopter pilots, both had berets, both are named after types of 'rocks' and both are leaders of the British "JOE" Forces. Im thinking of using Resolute Flint as Action Force Flint. Tho unsure what I would use as a 'new' codename for him. Maybe revert back to Captain or Major Stone.

Back from my day at Joecon. I'll post pics of the filecards (the ones I got anyways) in a bit.
Low-Light is AMAZING!!! He comes with an actual in scale bullet. It's crazy. He's got a new wrist articulation. Snake-Eyes can now point his sword forward and Low-Light can actually lay down to shoot. I'd be happier about the new wrist articulation if he had new neck articulation as well - it's still going to be tough to put him in a decent sniper pose, even with the improved wrists. (Still, nice to see they did it) Quote:

Also, no sign of exclusives other than the two TRU ones. Think they're holding them until SDCC, or do you think the other retailers aren't getting any? Quote:

I agree with you Fogger. Destro looks good, but I don't need another Destro. So a head swap would be awesome as a BAT.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about SS--he's the weakest figure coming out. His figure seems the hardest to reinvent. As for the vehicles, I'm not that impressed with anything and I'm kinda disappointed with Alpine's colors.
Everything else though is rock solid. Here's my list from best to worst: 1. Low-Light (Mar) 2. Shadow Tracker (Mar) 3. Spirit (Fall) 4. Snake Eyes (Jan) 5. Shock Trooper (Jan) 6. Quick Kick (Fall) 7. Duke (Jan) 8. Skydive (Mar) 9. Destro (Mar) 10. Storm Shadow (Jan) - a pass for me Last edited by Tanksmasher; 05-03-2010 at 01:17 PM.. |

I didn't see the Flint filecard, will have to wait for it to be posted at YoJoe.
We haven't seen everything. I expect more to be seen/announced between now and July and alot more to be shown at SDCC.

Flint's ain't anything new or special to me:
Toy News International - Daily Action Figures Toy News, Reviews and Discussions Sort of worse. Now he's not a 180A but 11X? 11X is what a Private is before he gets to choose 11B or 11C
