What's going on Joes? I had to take off before all the news was unveiled and just got caught up now. To be honest, I thought the new figs (LL, Airtight, etc.) were really cool but I was a little underwhelmed overall. But when I got home and saw the news about the subscription, that was something I didn't see coming and I'm looking forward to now. With that though, I'm definitely going to have to stop squad building and be pickier with singles. The Renegades figs look great but I'm probably going to skip them.

Hey bro I know what you mean overwhelmed is an understatement talk about needing to win the lottery to keep up. I'm broke from paying double+ the price on ebay for the con stuff.

I dig um.|
Still Loving Sci-Fi. Lifeline looks nice. I like that they're making him more combat able. He looks like he can kick some ass if need be. Airtight: I'm glad they didn't succumb to the want to 'over do it" with him. They left him nice and rather plain. Which I love. Rock viper I still Love Hawk is nice but isn't "hawk" they should have just put 'Green shirt" on the box. Crazylegs: I don't really like. looks about 10 years old and I still think that huge space in his bubble pack was meant for a working cute. Heavy IG: Still love him. the aliens smart rifle is awesome. Temple Snake Eyes: Crap. Hate him. Waste of time Blowtorch: I like the details on this one. I'll buy it. Crocmaster: Meh... got one almost exactly like it, but i"m not going to lie, if I see one I'll buy it. Cobra trooper(Old style): Good. I'll grab a couple. Jungle Bat: Yes please. at least 4 Black Dragon VTOL: I like. I LOVE the pilot New vamp: I like it. the Steel guy with it is great Data Viper is sweet. I like the UAV he comes with. Steel Brigade (carded): .... I'm sorry it looks like crap. I want to like it. Maybe if they repaint it and it's not light blue and tan. I mean how gay can you go with out actually using pink? Skystriker: Oh yes. I like it Starscream Skystriker: I'm not goig to fool myself. Rich Ebay guys are going to grab all of these and sell them at 5 times the price. I'll never have one. Tunnel Rat: Meh.. he's ok. I don't dislike him. Nothing really jumps out at me either. Zombie trooper: ZOMBIE TROOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A MOTHERFRAKIN ZOMBIE TROOPER~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED 20!!! Oh.. did I mention ZOMBIE TROOPER!!???!?!??!?!??! Stalker: Good deal. I didn't get the Resolute one, so this one is appreciated. Stormshadow: looks nice. Which is good the last 3 or 4 have been drek. Did I mention they're making a ZOMBIE TROOPER!!?!? With switchy zombe tentical arms???? Quinn: Meh.. i dig the shorts, but past that.. meh. no biggie. Not dislike but he never did it for me Both Zaranna's look nice. Firefly: I... kinda like it, but I'm very unsre why he's in like.. a rain slicker? Duke: Looks fine. Plain Jane duke. So ok. Snake eyes: Looks nice. I like it. Scarlet: I actually really like her. I love the head. I don't know what ugly head people are seeing. That head's the best one in years. Cobra trooper (Renagades): I really like him. he's like a swat officer. A little paint over the cobra symbols and Law and Order (( and Shockwave)) have a bunch of back ups. I need about 20 of him. 10 for each side. Ripcord: Meh.. Why is there orange? He also looks about 10 years old but with the helmet on you can hide that. Not the worst but not the best Law and Order: AWESOME. Gimme 5! Technoviper: Cool. needs the Cobra symbol on chest. Hazard viper: Come on? Are you kidding me? "Oh crap we have this mold and nothing to do with it now that the vechile was canceled. Paint it baby crap orange and sell it" That's probably one of two (( the other being temple snake eyes)) I likely would NOT get in stores. and I bought Arcitic Destro. lol So all in all I'm happy. There's quite a few NICE figs there. Some real real shout outs to us collectors and some nice army builders too.

I think the tubes are explanation on how they're reanimated. They also seem easily removable. So.. just pop um off and you got... ZOMBIE TROOPER!! BRAINS!!

Nice PJ, good catch on the cobra symbol on Techo Viper if Hasbro fails to put that on the final figure then it's gonna suck and I ain't gonna want more then 1.

I FRIGGIN love them. We should stop saying he's cool, or it'll happen like the Shock Trooper...some motherfucker* scalper will keep hoarding them. Btw, i love the translucent stuff on him, i love the blueish tinge, but i think that (no joke here) lime-nano-green would look more appropiate and sickly. And it would be cool to have some colour on him. Still, it's an incredible surprise. *sorry if it offends somebody, but you have to insult them fully.
