| Pyroclasm: I must get my hands on that Nemesis Enforcer! Thanks for the pictures. When do these officially come out? jdizz76: I realy like Tripwire...he's spot on.
Nemesis looks like he has potential, but I'd have to see him in person before I'd make a final judgment.
As for Falcon...just weak, pathetic, and...I don't even have the words; what a big letdown! Amberbratt: Quote:

and repaint his body.........
who has the "fixed" arms for duke??
i want a duke but his arms are shit.....
i also want a flint with fixed arms to..(will repaint TF)
but dont they have a joe with "fixed" lower arms wasnt rock n roll arms useable for duke so that they dont have slit wrists? Barefoot Jedi: Do you have just the figures themselves or did you get the comics, too?
If so, what on Earth is the Nemesis Enforcer comic about? slim19722: I will be getting all those. Not a Falcon fan, but he looks ok to me. arashikage storm: Quote:

If so, what on Earth is the Nemesis Enforcer comic about? | It is a big fight between Falcon/NE. it is written pretty crappy if you ask me. It even references other parts of the "battle of Cobra La" but i dont think it has anything to do with the movie...very crappy. We were told that the Black headed Destro variant would be explained in the comic, but he never even puts it on in the comic....just crap. the Tripwire/CC comic is ok, but it is REALLY dumbed down.... Cobra-La: Does Falcon have a unique headsculpt? I can't tell from the photos. SITHLOU33: Ok where did you find these? Shogi: I was already gonna get Nemesis because he's that cool, now after seeing the pics, I'm gonna have to beat people out of the way to get one  I'd love to see pics of the other 3 as those are ones I really want too! Cobra-La: Quote:

I believe that has been established in the numerous other sneak peaks he's been cool enough to provide us with. Greaser: Where can I pick up some of those clear 25th compatible stands? FireFly5: man, falcon's colors are bland ,and he should've had TF flint's arms or even the corrected duke arms, i'm disappointed. tripwire still looks good, and i really want that nemesis enforcer COBRACOLLECTOR: Nems Looking Good I Like The Wings I Was Expecting Sumthing Not As Good As those Thanx 4 The Pics Shockwave-the-Magnificent: OMG, I'm totally disappointed with Falcon. With something that had so much potential, he just sucks! The colors are BLAH, he has Duke's arms (BIGGEST letdown) and I just think that he looks "off". I can see reusing Duke/ Flint's body mold, but they got lazy when it came to not putting on a flashlight on his right leg.
Using Duke's arms doesn't even look toy accurate, let alone artwork accurate. I remember seeing a TF Flint earlier today. If he's still there, his arms are going on Falcon for sure.
Way to drop the ball Hasbro. The Commander: As always storm, thanks for the pics! Roadblock Recall: refresh my memory guys...how long after the midnight Chinese appearance till we start seeing them in stores? Roadblock Recall: I never thought I'd say this, but Nemesis Enforcer seriously may be the highlight of this wave. He looks REALLY good!!! Snow cat: Tripwire looks awesome and Nemesis. falcon looks good. Amberbratt: where can i find the corrected duke arms???????
can sum1 help me out..? Agent-GHQ: These are looking good! However, Falcon's paint looks bit too light. Gulfster: Thanks for posting pics for all of us to enjoy. They are much appreciated The Commander: Quote:

DAMN FALCON looks NICE! can't wait to get it! but the slit wrist is getting Old........ Monkeywrench: Thanks for the pics. Falcon looks awful Crimson Rage: Falcon looks okay. He's way down my list of favourites so I can live with a 'less than perfect' version.
Tripwire is brilliant! Must have as soon as possible.
But that Nemesis Enforcer... To me it's pure, unadulterated CAK! He looks like a lame refugee from some cheapo knock-off line. What were they thinking? Mine will be going straight in the 'crap' drawer. Snow Job: I've been searching ebay everyday since Tripwire was announced. I guess you didn't get these from there as I haven't seen anything.
Falcon is pretty weak, imo. Those colors need to be darker, and his head needs to be lopped off. lol
Edit: Post #700!! Yay! gdztoyz: Thanks for the preview...
Man, I was excited about Falcon, but seeing these kinda killed it for me. He looks okay, but definitely not even close in the 25th/Modern Era Top Ten best. I never thought I'd EVER be excited about Tripwire...ever But he looks awesome. So who's going to be the first to crank out a Listen N Fun custom? pcsguy88: Tripwire is sweet. Looks like I just found a new tank crew. Hoot: Tripwire looks great.
Falcon has always been my favorite joe since I was a kid, I'll wait til I have him in hand for final judgement but from the pics he coulda been a lot better :( xFlintx: I have to say Nemesis Enforcer looks awesome. Tripwore looks great, a little disapointed with Falcon, but I'll live..lol Pyroclasm: Quote:

Mine will be going straight in the 'crap' drawer. | I'm going to need a loose Nems for a custom. If/when you get one, keep me in mind. mech-grunt: They look great I only wish they would have done a better job with Falcons camo job. Overall he looks good but that camo job just looks weak. Spade: Falcon dosn't even look like a finish product. He looks awful. He looks like era where Joes were lite-bright colors. I'll pass and hope a darker version comes out as a single.

Nemesis is looking kick-arse as he has all along.
Tripwire looks good. Deckard: lol a listen n fun trippy. lets not forget his "SUPER" funskool purple and bright orange outfit.....that for whatever reason made it into the firefly/ storm shadow comic. ugh. but trippy and falcon i am jonesin for big time. as for nemmy....he okay and the cc look dcent enough. I'll pass on the blah ig destro and IG 2 pack. those two look worse than falcon. Beach Head curses: Wow. Nemesis looks better than I thought. Falcon looks much worse. Magick: The black headed destro is actually the chase figure for the new CP's. the normal one is supposed to be the gold headed IG Destro. Or at least this is what we were told at the Con a few weeks ago.
Falcon has a new head, lower leg and upper arm sculpt.
Tiger force duke that will be coming out later has a fixed crotch and arms.Then all that is left is fixing the trooper crotch. LOL vadersquest: Quote:

Originally Posted by Magick Then all that is left is fixing the trooper crotch. LOL | Already done, the crotch was retooled for the Python Officer release. COBRAVAMPIRE: Tripwire is sweet, like all them kinda guys (hiss, grand slam, flash, etc...) I'll be getting these and adding them to the loose collection, can't wait! hamilcar: thanks for the pics! Tripwire looks amazing, as does Nemesis Enforcer. heck, I think even Falcon looks pretty good. Snow Job: Quote:
Originally Posted by Steevy Maximus Already done, the crotch was retooled for the Python Officer release. | Well, then they need to re-release the new crotch on Officers and troopers in a revision case or something. Hopefully that is what they're doing when they release the revision case with Flint soon, but with his new arms. cmderinchief: Why didn't you get the black Destro variant? fifthconspiracy: I agree to an extent about Falcon... a bit of a letdown, but the others make up for it.
For the love of tainted cider... show us more pics!
