I started losing interest in Joe vehicles a while back. I just never liked the overly sci-fi concepts and it seems to be moving more in that direction. The Ninja Combat Cruiser is cool-looking but the name is funny. I don't think I'd be that worried about a jeep of Ninjas if I was with an elite military unit armed with state-of-the-art rifles, armor and air support. ;)
I was pleasantly surprised to see a classic-looking Jinx though. I didn't expect that. |

I'm really excited about the Retaliation figures, and I like the look of the vehicles. As with the first film, I really don't care about the movie. I have low expectations for the film itself, but I was more than happy with all the figures, vehicles, and the videogame we got out of ROC. I think these new figures look awesome. I'm really excited about the Blue Hiss Tank.

I am in love with the Combat Cruiser.
This is definately one vehicle I will get multiples of and have them repainted. I am disappointed that the vehicle drivers won't have the same articulation as the figures. That means they won't be used and will just be set aside.

I like to think that we're just "all caught up" on the filecards and we're to the point where we're just waiting on the new filecards to come out. ;)

Yeah that's sounds about right. I just wish they'd expand the filecards more. Well at least they put birthplaces back on the filecards which was my biggest gripe.
I'm liking most of the vehicles too aside from the Ninja AWE. I'm sort of liking the new plane and I agree the Ninja VAMP looks good. Is it true the Drivers will have limited articulation. I would like to get a closer look at the drivers. Rock'n'Roll I mean Clutch looks good. Flint will be recast as someone else. He looks decent enough, to be just about anyone.

Yeah, the drivers are only 5 point articulation.

There's a couple threads about it.
The driver's have no articulation. Only the ninjas have ankle and wrist it looks like.
