2010 Past & Present sets in hand. pics. mock ups/test shots.

[Monkeywrench]

this is a pass for sure

I'd get the Destro set for an extra chrome Destro head, but that's probably it.

I'm a collector of 12" RAH figures, and I think these new ones are great! I think the new Neo-Viper looks awesome--way better than the first version. I like to buy several of the troopers to give Cobra a better balance against all the Joe characters, but I only ever bought one Neo-Viper and Coil Crusher figures. Of course I'm disappointed if these are really the last 12" figures to be released, but I'm also glad to have limits to my collecting. I was excited to see the prototype Stalker, Gung-Ho, and Crimson Guard, so I wasn't happy to learn the line was canceled. I sure hope these figures are released somehow.

As for the 3 3/4" figures, I agree with everybody here. I think these will appeal less to collectors (for obvious reasons) than they might with regular kids (provided they're not as expensive as the WM SW 2-packs).

qft. totally lame.

Nice.......... thanks for the pictures

[Bionic Commando]

Pass for me happy for those that want these.But I don't want figures I already have 100+ versions of and not too fond of the old style figures

Hmm what we thought was the Neo Viper in the pics is actually the Cobra Viper Commando, which I do agree, looks way better than the 1st Neo Viper figure. However these figures yet again, do not use the super articulated body which counts me out from collecting them. Neat gear though.

wow do ya not like that neo viper commando ? i wouldn't mind taking that nasty figure off your hands :P

I like what I have... the mock ups... I won't be buying
the finished versions (unless they are leaked and cheap).
but once they're on the shelves... nah. they shall remain.
these are not my cup'o'tea.
dear hasbro... you want people to buy these... I mean like everyone?
take a step back (no no... further)...
sort out like a nightforce "POC" Helix... then do an o-ring RAH style Helix... THAT is fresh.
you want to do classics? then stop issuing classic dudes like Firefly
as TRU exclusives... (new characters like bench press etc... fine... or army builders...fine... but core characters as exclusives kinda block a Firefly set from happening).
what's that??? you want to appeal to older fans and newer ROC fans?
fine. but there's a handy dandy saying called 'best of both worlds.'
have faith in your product AND the demand. just sayin.

I like um. I dig the 'then and now' stuff. I'd have gotten the rock slide if I liked the vehicle more. if they do a ferret with the twins I'll be all over it.

I'll defiantly get these then and nows as long as they're not stupid expensive.

[topnotch97]

why not a Then & Now USS Flagg, huh? huh? anyone?
