To view the new Images head on over to G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Wave 7 Carded Images. | | | Views: 4,393 | | jignacio_2k: Wow, can't wait for those to hit Stateside! BigErn: You know I may actually bid on one of those, as long as it doesn't get too crazy. Although with shipping you're already starting off at $20 per figure. I dunno, 30-40-50 bucks just to say I've got it first? Probably not worth it huh? G.I.Eddie: Quote: |

did ya'll notice how big Freedom is?...he's much more to scale than old Freedom...SWEET! Wyo: Man, I just saw this card art. What do you all think? I think he looks like an alien! Or his head needs to be popped. IMO, not thier best work. Boo contracted Hasbro guy that does card art, boo!
Like the rest of wave 7 though! 
http://cgi.ebay.com/G-I-Joe-25th-Ann...QQcmdZViewItem SPC Airborne: Spirit's bubble is really cluttered with accessories. Since I like to keep a set of the figures MOC, it bugs me when it looks like that. kilowatt: They all look pretty good. Sy-Rein: The head does look pretty weird. The figure itself looks alot better, thankfully. mckeesportpaguy: Well since its pretty much March already, expect these to start shipping to the US soon. If I were rich though I'd offer they buyer 100 plus shipping for his figures just because I'm impatient.........They look really cool IMO. ceraurus: Don't we usually see carded images from Hasbro first? ceraurus: It looks like his left arm is turned the wrong way. I hope they're not all packaged like that - these things bug me with figures I keep MOC. xhairs: wow they look great on the card i cant wait to get them. but to 20bucks for a fig is nuts when you can pay for 3 figs for theat much verzeihen: i thought wave 7 was not cominging out intil april !
wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIPER 48: Quote: |

Porkchop Sandwiches: If you look at his other auctions you can see others that 'aren't out' Porkchop Sandwiches: Hiss Driver artwork looks bad in that pic. ladyhump: Well, look at Duke and that huge flag teemu8: bring them on now! Drop ship a bunch to BBTS and get these babies out Gung.Heaux: dear hasbro,
great color on the viper's weapon.
yours truly,
sarcasm ladyhump: So I guess, wave 6 and 7 are going to be shipping together like 2/3 and 4/5. These should be showing up within a month. the_loud_master: Cool I cant wait to see 'em at home. It wont load here. Porkchop Sandwiches: Quote: |

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | I still could be April. It seems like 3-4 weeks ago that our buddy BigDuke was telling us about BA CC, R'nR, and Seal. Or maybe it's just me... So 3-4 weeks from now is about April. Shockwave-the-Magnificent: I can't wait for these! Looks like CG may have to take a back seat now to army building of the Vipers. I'm glad they'll come 2 to a case!

I'm not sure how you interpreted my post, but I'm giving a thumbs and saying it's a good thing to see nothing being left out. The more accessories and attention to detail the better. It's a GOOD thing to see a company go "all out" and do something right. It looks to be roughly the same size package as V1 Snake Eyes. Steel Brigade: Looks like Jetpack Duke has the white shirt afterall!! ladyhump: Quote: |

I know. I just saw the huge bubble for Spirit and then I looked down further and it was like, BAM, another huge bubble. It's fine with me as long is doesn't cover up the character in the card art. Which it doesn't. The only thing I don't like about huge bubbles on GI Joes is that they're prone to getting massive dents. At least with the ones I've come across.
ie Roadblock. You know who you are. canprime: Quote: |

C'mon Canadian variant with the Canadian Flag!!!! mckeesportpaguy: Why they choose to release vehicle drivers as single packs puzzles me. The art looks terrible, but still glad to have it, just wish he came with the HISS instead. Porkchop Sandwiches: Card art does look silly but the figure looks mighty nice! Sy-Rein: For those unable (or just dont want to bother) to see the pics on ebay. I've posted them on my photobucket.
*cont'd next post Sy-Rein: *cont'd from last post
They all look pretty cool. And it's great to see them with so many accessories, although it makes me feel a little sorry for the HISS Driver with his tiny little pistol. canprime: I'm so glad I preordered this wave. I didn't bother with wave 6 (thankfully found the 3 today), but I couldn't pass up a wave with so many new figures and great army builders. Irid70: 1. Is the Hiss Driver just holding onto a reallllly huge invisible steering wheel? "Air"-driving?
2. That SE on the card, with all his accessories, makes me way more excited than I should be about a toy. I want them NOW!
Not gonna bid or anything, just...I thought my toy-lust had subsided. CobraCoffee: Quote: |

I know I can't be the only guy who chuckled when he read this. Come on people! Shin Densetsu: Man that SE is so awesome. I will buy him, Viper, Spirit and Wild Bill! Caliburn: before I get the at least we are getting them responses..... I will say that I agree with you! But, going with guns that are all silver and black its somewhat excusable, but brown.........Wow they could have sprung a few bucks for some color!
PS - Good Lord Hasbro..............Give us wave six first! Is that a lot to ask for? yorktownjoe: Quote: |
Originally Posted by Irid70 1. Is the Hiss Driver just holding onto a reallllly huge invisible steering wheel? "Air"-driving? | He is pumping his fists after Clutch destroys his H.I.S.S. tank while he stopped off in the Porta-Potty. All that is left is flaming rubble...
...OR....
...he is wondering why a Camo-modified Stinger driver is packaged with the Target H.I.S.S. and he is stuck on the single card peg....  Doctor Malligator: Wow, the card artwork for the Hiss Driver looks just terrible. I am hoping it is the angle or something, his upper body looks way too big. The Wild Bill artwork is also pretty weak, imo. His face looks squashed and out of proportion.
The card artwork is my favorite part of the figures, so I really hope these are just bad pictures..... Doctor Malligator: I agree.
His upper body looks too big for his legs. He is top heavy and his head is like an orange on a toothpick.... M.E.A.T. VIPER: Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing on the card art. It seems like they cant find someone to match the style of artwork for the cards. Wild Bill looks like he's heading out to the Blue Oyster with his tight slacks and Hiss Driver has a huge bucket head. Brutal, I think the Funskool art was better . soundwavempl: Quote: |

PS - Good Lord Hasbro..............Give us wave six first! Is that a lot to ask for? | I'm with you on this one. I wish Spirit's guns and backpack were green like the original. I also wish Snake Eyes' backpack was black instead of silver...also like the original. I know I'm just being nitpicky at this point, as these figures are totally awesome, I'd just wish Hasbro would keep the colors true to the originals on the weapons (Firefly's gun should have also been green as well). Cobra-La: That Duke card art looks really cool. This is the best wave yet. Well done Hasbro! artiepants: that's some weak sauce on Spirits gear, SE backpack doesn't bother me as much, but definitely would have been nicer in black.
crazy how much variaty in the card art quality there is ~ Duke is flippin' amazing and Wild Bill is just baaaaaaaad. EMP Trooper: Perhaps I'm wrong, but the first thing that came to mind was they look like bootlegs. It could just be the pics, but the art looks really off, nothing like the ones already released. Wylde Weezle: HISS Tank driver...his carded debut, and they just half arssed the artwork. OH, and he's got a theme song now:
"That boy gotta bebolati, he got more head than he got body!"
At least the figure looks awesome ;D DaViper: man, every figure looks great but some the artwork is blah. Shin-Gouki: Quote: |
