I'll wait to have a closer look at the motorcycle, but so far I'm uninterested.

I still don't get the hate from a few name changes. So "Rollbar" is essentially Airborne in movie camo. He prolly won't have a stand that indicates his name, so he's still Airborne to me, but now he'll look good with the rest of the movie joes. I think people will really dig the new mold firebat, its just as cool as the ghosthawk.

I don't mind repaints. And I don't mind character names changing...I call 'em what I want to call 'em.
My problem lies in Joes and Cobra swapping vehicles. It just become too muddled between who uses what design. I don't mind if the Joes have different deco for their own vehicles. Same as Cobra. I never liked Tiger Force (at all, really) and the repainted Cobra vehicles as Joe and vice versa for Python Patrol. I skipped the Target plane repaints for this very reason. If the Sky Sweeper had been in black and a Cobra vehicle, we'd have something cool. Like a souped-up Firebat. Heck, call it a High Performance Firebat or something. I don't mind the motorcycle, but it's hard to tell from one little packaged picture. I never liked the Silver Mirage, so I don't mind them changing it. The Mantis Sub is cool, but I already have a few. I even still have one packaged. I'm actually surprised that the Sky Sweeper and Motorcycle are at the Alpha price point. The SS isn't any more expensive than the 25th Firebat which is nice. The motorcycle comes with 2 Joes who equal the pricepoint themselves. The cycle is just bonus. Hopefully, the figures come with the accessories we've seen on ebay. I really like the Beachhead and Airborne repaints. |

But if they'd painted it yellow with tiger stripes, some folks would be calling it genius.

True. Not a bad idea. Just have to snag a Firebat decal sheet. Wonder if a little call to Hasbro Customer Service could help? The old, "I bought this for my son, but it didn't have the stickers. He loves the stickers and is crying now," bit might work nicely.
Psst...I don't have kids. |

Let the hate continue!
I love it! The figures are some of the best-sculpted I've seen at this scale in awhile (aside from Scarlet and Baroness sadly), and for once I can find them without difficulty. I already got two Dukes and am headswapping them into a full desert team to go with my FoV Bradley. The accelerator suit Ripcord's head is one of them, with the body going to a heavy-arms Uber-BAT. Even Destro, with a CG helmet on, makes an awesome-looking CG intelligence officer (still debating whether to leave it grey with red trim, or go red with silver trim). I made the Neo-Vipers into Serpentor's personal guard (still debating whether I should go over their armor with clear-yellow), and Zartan's crazy cutlery + Viper Commando makes for a awesomely frightening monster (like an updated Cobra-La guard). I can't wait to see what I can do with the later waves. |
