Is the new color scheme what they look like in the comics or something? I don't really understand what their reasoning would be for doing these otherwise.. The plus side of Destro is that while his base figure is fruity, the head is vac metallized, and being on a ball joint, should be easy to swap with the first figure. I'm a bit surprised to see both waves 1 and 2 in such a short period of time (they will both apparently be out in number by the end of January), it took the Star Wars comic packs damn near four months to get the second wave out, though granted these don't have as much new tooling as those did. Gives me hope that waves 3 and 4 will be out in number before the Doc mailaway expires (though, it doesn't matter as much to me as I'm enough of a Joe whore to get them all, except maybe the issue 21 set, which means if wave 3 is out in June, I'll have enough for Doc)

Well, Breakers solid if simple (in keeping with the '82 aesthetic) the gum is genious ~ i do hope it's removable though.
what's his body construction? i think i see Duke's arms, Snake-Eyes torso and web gear, but i'm not seeing the legs: who eles has that front cargo pocket, none of mine seem too... I'm assuming that's a new head. The destro is a steaming pile. It'd be at least passable if not for the purple, but at least they're tossing us a bone with the Vac metalized head so people can do a swap-out if they want to. I wouldn't strees ~ we ought to know by toyfair at the latest what the next 6 months of release4 and street dates are, so hopefully we'll know if we're gonna get suckered into buying redo's to get Doc. an army builder pack would go so far here for so many...

He's purple because he's that color in the comic book. (if my memory serves.) He went from purple to black just like the Baroness did. I should be able to get pics tonight.

I'm assuming that's a new head. Definately Snake-Eyes whole torso Probably a new head (I wish the beard was more than just a 5 o' clock shadow though) Also glad to see a comic that hasn't been reprinted already |

I see no problem in getting remakes of classic joes, I think some people have a problem with getting the same classic joes multiple times (I personally like the blue Snake-Eyes, I don't want yet another Storm Shadow though, I already have one classic remake of the first version of SS) Also I don't want to either A: Buy 2 of the same of each comic pack from wave 1 to get a new figure I really want. or B: Wait till April to get wave 2 (I don't care what BBTS may say about availability of wave 2, Hasbro said April) and still need to get one more comic pack to get Doc That doesn't mean I'm cheap (I am a bit though ;)) I just don't want to HAVE to buy toys I already have just to get one I don't have (Doc) |
