The First 5 Single Card GI Joe 25th Anniversary Figures are now up to view. The figures include Flint, COBRA Officer, Hooded Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes v.2, and Storm Shadow v.2.

Flint uses Duke's base mold, the rest use molds from the 5-packs.

I am disappointed in the fact that there are not only repeats of characters, but molds.

I was optimistic that there would be 25 new figures.

Although, the new sculpts look nice...

But where is the Firefly????

These all look so cool. I really hope that they release them in canada.

Who am I trying to kid, I will hunt em down on the net if I have too ;)

I'm just happy to see more new joes.

Agreed. Where is Firefly, and Major Bludd, etc.?

We can only hope that the initial 25 do well enough to merit more figure releases from Hasbro. I will be completely dissapointed if we don't see iconic characters such as Firefly, B.A.T. v1, etc.

Only time will tell...but with only 5 figures left to be released....time is running short.

I'm more excited about the version 2 Storm Shadow than the others. We have had so many Cobra versions of him in resent years, it's about time we got a Joe version. I hope to have them all. Even though they are repaints/remolds I still like them all a lot.

Yeah but Lady Jaye, Beach Head, Serpentor and Buzzer are apparently supposed to be shoe-ins so that really only leaves 6 slots left. I'm hoping it'll be divided evenly so it'll be 3 Joes, 3 COBRAs. The Joes I haven't a clue nor do I care but for COBRA I'm hoping it's Zartan, Major Bludd, and Firefly.

I'd rather in this initial first run Hasbro got a lot of COBRA's unique characters out of the way so that next year they can start concentrating on releasing more COBRA troops. THAT's what I'm looking forward to. I want my classic design Crimson Guards, B.A.T.s, Snow Serpents, EELs, Techno-Vipers and IRON Grenadiers. And as far as this 'Hasbro is only doing figures from '82 to '86 BS' that's been going around I'm not buying it anymore. If their going to do the '88 Storm Shadow then every RAH figure from the 80's is now fair game in my opinion.

I'm with Nem...I want all those figures.

And like he said...the rumor has been proven wrong with this new version of SS. The character selection pool has just gotten alot larger...which I am very happy with.

I'm not worried.
Hasbro is putting a lot of effort into this line.
I'm positive this line will continue after the initial 25.

Look at Star Wars, they said thier would only be 5 Original Trilogy figures, and now they are on thier third wave.

The Key is support. We need the Kids to buy this line, not just us. I think its safe to say it will continue after 25 figures.
