I would agree W2+ will sale fine, and I would expect W1 to peg warm. With that being said my Target has restocked W1 3 times with 9+ packs each time, and have sold out every time.

This wave is starting to grow on me. I like the Cartoon Baroness and Cobra Commander. The Python Trooper is an instant sell since I want all the Python Patrol redone. I like Roadblock more and more I look at it, for me if they give him actual sleeves and take off the arm band thingies he'd crush. And Bludd well he's pretty craptacular until he gets a new body.

Ditto outback. Looks more suited for him than it ever was for Zartan.

For once I can almost agree with Outback here. Except for the thigh pads, I'd say he's remakably close to the original with Z's body. I wonder if Hasbro intended that from the beginning... But that certainly would not lend itself to the delay issue with this figure.

Anyway, nice pick OB!

And that's a point that I believe is escaping some people here.

Look, lots of figure mock-ups are done within Hasbro (and every other toy manufacturer), some of them repaints of existing characters, and some of them new characters comprised of old parts and new sculpts. That doesn't mean they will ever make it into production or to a retailer near you. A Big Boa sculpt was mentioned, but having been sculpted and making it to the factory stage are two different things. Just because there are no plans for Python Patrol or Tiger Force figures to be released this year, according to Hasbro, anyway, you're kidding yourself if you don't think they've repainted figures in those styles for their own purposes.

I'd be surprised if the Bludd image originated anywhere other than from within Habro, so I'm willing to accept that the others probably did, as well. That does not mean, however, we will see these figures any time soon, or even at all (with the exception of Bludd, who's been confirmed).

On the one hand I don't disagree that I look forward to these as much as anyone, but W1 of the comic packs aren't in huge demand right now (although thankfully selling brisquely), so I'm curious what you base your statement on?

Before the release of the first comic packs I (and others) predicted that part of the reason Hasbro was demanding 6 PoP's for Doc was to make sure their lesser selling comic-packs moved right along with the better selling ones. I wonder if this bit of prescience has been proven correct? I suppose it's a bit too soon to tell, since the deadline for Doc is August, but from what I'm seeing W2 is being scarfed up no problem, but W1....not so much.
And the rest of the comic packs follow the model of wave 2, rather than wave 1, which offered all repaints of previously released characters, the sole exception being Hawk. Exactly what are you arguing here?

It's been exactly the same in Target stores here, too. Wave 1 sold just fine.

seeing cartoon correct figures is a huge plus in my opinion. i'd pay for waves of prepaints to cartoon correct characters. even better if they select them from the same mini-series or story arc. for example, cartoon correct characters from the mass device, etc.

i cant wait for the cc, other than the hooded version i think this is the best one so far, of course the python officer will be a buy the others im not really liking. the roadblock has potential with a few tweaks. have to see what they do with major blood but his mech arm is looking great.

Forgive me if this has been said already. I read through most of the posts, but not all.

If these are from Hasbro, they're probably in house photos of figures that will be shown at Toy Fair.

The Bludd looks almost production while the Roadblock looks mock-up.

I don't think they're all from that same "wave". Probably just different figures from different waves of single and comic 2-packs. I'm sure there are more images, although we may not have seen them all.

I think we'll see these figures-- and others-- next month from Hasbro at Toy Fair.
