Diamond Comics Joe Releases

Diamond Comics has the following listed for release in October for preorder in August:

Wave 10
Wave 11
Comic Pack Wave 5
DVD Wave 2 (Quick Kick anyone?)
Vehicle (Hiss Tank, Awestriker, Firebat, and Fang & Claw)
Vehicle (Vamp, Ram, Firebat, and Sharc)
12-inch Wave 2
12-inch Wave 3
Combat Heroes Wave 1

Granted these will not all be released in October but definitely before Christmas. Thats a good amount of stuff that will be coming in over the next few months.

Wave 11? Fang and Claw?? Unless I'm wrong, we have not seen any other pre-orders for those yet have we?

I am fairly certain Wave 11 will be coming in November or December. Here are some pics.

Very cool, at least I'm sure that I haven't seen that Cobra Flint or the new Awe Striker repaint before. Were those pics in the Previews listings? Good find.

considering how over the top Diamond pricing has been, I hope to see similar pre-orders pop up at BBTS soon. Crossing fingers...

The leatherneck looks ok. Im not digging the buzzer arm guard though. I really hope they change his arms to the new duke arms. But I love that they did mission brazil colors for him.

Flint in drag is a pass for me.

The BAT is 'clean' and has a red faceplate?? Already we have a clash with the current release. And a spring-loaded launcher? Of course it's optional, but it's still something I'd hope Hasbro would have avoided.

Cobra Flint? Surprisingly good! I may get two and swap a regular trooper head with one to make some kind of Cobra "grease monkey".

The BAT is from the second wave of DVD packs. In the cartoon they had red faceplates. The DVD pack figures are all supposed to have a "clean" less realistic cartoon look.
The missile launcher is lame though. I hated it when they were introduced into the original line. I dont care if the weapons fire... I want them to look like actual weapons.

where did you get the pictures? I looked all over diamond comics website and couldnt find anything. Are you a dealer that gets special notices? You got any more pics of upcoming stuff that we havent seen?

I don't mind the 'cleanliness' too much, but the red faceplate is a bit of a jar. I'll have to make him a "battlefield co-ordinator B.A.T." to explain the difference.

I like Leatherneck though, despite the return of Gung Ho's head (hope he has hair painted on back there!!) and the desert AWE Striker is a nice change.
And how come Duke only just get's his original gun back now?
