Let me get this straight. Hasbro slowly raises the price from $4.75 to about $7.99 in a little less than 2 years. They have done multiple versions of all these characters and this is now what, Firefly's 5th deco? The same figure we can get in 4 different places with a few extra accessories. Some of these figures have slight improvements but most are exactly the same. And you want to charge me how much? Yeah, this is a big 'ol pass. I love Joe and actually have around 150 of the 25th figures. I don't see me getting any of the movie figures (with a few exceptions) and will only probably get the new 7-packs with the new characters. Hasbro is just not working hard enough for my collectible dollar. Sorry Hasbro, there are other things that need to be bought and an eight version of Duke aint one of them.

I broke down and ordered Flint, since the first one bugs me with his slit wrists. And the B.A.T. since I consider it the best 25th figure we've gotten. I wanted at least one HoH figure for the packaging, but I'm not getting them all. Firefly would have been an easy sell if they'd not made him look like Noob Saibot with THAT dark of grey.
I just ordered 1, so it's not sold out. *shrugs* Quote:

I ordered a set. These will be great MOC displays for me.

Cool packaging but the fig blows. They should let the W3 alone on that one.

I just think the logo being changed kill the nostalgia aspect for me. The 25th line was popular because of the classic look, to deviate away from it in any way is just stupid on Hasbro's part.

Zartans cardback is like that because he is still trying to re-live the days of Cold Slither, thats why he is striking a wanna-be rocker pose.
