Wow - the majority of you people are unbelievable. First off everyone seems to forget we were only supposed to get 2 5 packs and 1 wave of single carded figures...THATS IT. Im happy this line has continued with at least 85% of the figures being GREAT.
Then there are you people that expect single carded figures of items JUST released in other forms, suchas Falcon and IG. Holy crap, calm down. And heaven forbid we get another Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow or Cobra Commander, not like KIDS recognize these core characters and will by them cause they know who they are. Im sure a kid will be running to the parents and going...Please Please give me a Crystal Ball. But lets not forget those of you that expect every figure to be a brand new sculpt. Heaven forbid Hasbro is here to make $$ and as cheaply as they can. The original Joe line back in the 80's did the same thing. Not to mention this is a BONUS Wave we werent even getting. Just like SW, all bonus waves are repaints. Now I know Ill get slammed for this post but this all needs to be said. Its one thing to express your dislike but do bitch, moan and complain is annoying. Wave 1, 2, 3 and 4 of 09 are still to come and dont forget Hasbro has said classic figs will return after the Joe movie. Remember Hasbro is a buisness at its core, the main goal is to make $$ and they have done so for over 20 + years so I think they know what they are doing. I know Ill be getting a few of these figs, as will most of the 25th fans because we know that with the support of a few bad figures we get AMAZING figs like BAT, Crimson Guard, Eel, Snow Serpent, etc. And for the last time, stop saying these are FAKE, they arent, deal with it.

I'm glad we heard about the Falcon single pack before i saw the Comic pack version, hopefully it's a lot better. (wouldn't take much).

First wave I won't be pre-ordering. Some figures in there people have wanted (like Python Patrol)-Storm Shadow is lame but then again I can't stand the over-use of him by Hasbro or comics.
And the entire-"you should be thankful" bit. Yes I'm thankful that the collectors SPEND THE MONEY so that we can get cool figures. The fact is Hasbro is not doing us a favor by making the line it is a symbiotic dynamic. They make we buy. If we don't like what they make-we don't buy. If we don't buy-they don't make. With that being said. I don't think this wave is poorly made (there are no major bludds in here) it is just lackluster and uninteresting. I think also when there are about 15 figures people really want made and time is running out you can understand why some people would feel a bit annoyed that we get a wave like this. |

I agree. The thing with this wave, is that its a bonus, it doesn't need to be released, but it is anyways. It has no affect on the waves immediately before, or afterwards.
As a Storm Shadow fan, as well as Crimson Guard fan, I am excited. The 1st wave of this year kicked so much ass, its one of the best in the line(wave 5), imagine how the first wave of next year will turn out.

I agree on the Trooper, Id love a black mask but it is COMIC accurate so that just sucks I agree for cartoon fans.
That previous post is meant mainly at the people that arent constructive with their criticism or have just idiotic statements. Everyone has a right to express their opinion but it should be informed and constructed not just random mouth garbage. And it is a BONUS WAVE becuase there were to be only 11 waves in 08, not 12.

unfortunately, character-wise the next couple of waves aren't offering up much more. from the WalMart listings:
w. 13/2009 w.1 (we know now that Omega Force = Resolute) Duke Omega Force UPC = 0065356937101 Cobra Commander Omega Force UPC = 0065356937102 Cobra TRPR Omega Force UPC = 0065356937103 Dreadnok Torch UPC = 0065356937423 Single Firefly UPC = 0065356937424 (<-- i'd be pretty surprised if this isn't the Resolute version as well) w. 14/2009 w.2 Shadow Omega Force 653569 37433 Zap Omega Force 653569 37434 Falcon Single 653569 37436 BAT w/ Battle Damage 653569 37347 now, both these waves are a little light (we've mostly been seeing 6 figures per wave) so more may be revealed and at least 1 of w.14 may be part of 13. I'm glad we heard about the Falcon single pack before i saw the Comic pack version, hopefully it's a lot better. (wouldn't take much). As Recondo76 mentioned, if you are going to frankenstein, at least frankenstein better choices. Diver - is not bad, but after the eels, It seems kind of not needed ripper - least favourite of the dreadnoks trooper - another trooper yawn... Tripwire - original character okay.... Storm Shadow - cool but not needed... Python Crimson guard - Okay, if you are doing copperhead and officer, you might as well have this one. If these 6 characters were part of previous waves there probably would be less complaining than having them all together. |

Tripwire - I really don't see the point of putting him out JUST after getting him in the comic pack. I think its too soon to put that figure out while the comic pack is still on he shelves. I liked the comic pack, and as much as I like the Mass Device set, I have to pass on this figure. <snip> Want to say something about this: You have to remember, this wave is coming out at the end of the year. I'm sure the Tripwire comic pack will be off the pegs by then. Or at least getting phased out due to Wave 6 or 7 comic packs coming in.

I'm not too let down by this Wave, Crimson Guard Python Patrol is an awesome "bonus" figure in my opinion. This Wave sets us up nicely going into the 2009 year!
