GI Joe Retaliation Wave 2 Carded Images

Nice!! I will be grabbing a RB, Flint and Firefly. Too bad I have to wait 9 months for them though.

Glad RB comes with the Ma Duce. Gonna swap out the spike knuckle trench knives with SE.

meh...

I only want Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes and Roadblock. Storm Shadow works as a concept figure. Firefly looks weird and Flint's head is too big for the body.

I have been waiting for this RB.....passed on the wave 1 version. I have enough SE & SS figures. I want all the main movie characters, so I'm grabbing Flint & Firefly too.

For wave 3, I'm gonna get Joe Colton (awesome), Lady jaye, and a Black Dragon Ninja or two.

Wave 4, Jinx & Blind master.

Wave 5 as many Night Vipers as I can find (3 or 4 for sure).

GI Joe Retaliation Firefly Figure

...ditto on that "Meh"...If they weren't $10 and if they came with stands, I might be interested in Flint, but I'm probably gonna pass on these as a whole...honestly the only movie figures I cared about were the Ninja 3 Packs and Blind Master, but seeing as my local stores don't restock their GI Joes, I probably won't get any of those either...still a little pissed that Red Jinx is a GD exclusive...

well Flint, maybe?
this wave looks weak.

I am shocked, but mostly I am disappointed in the Resolute figures. Like or hate Rise of Cobra, there was some neat advancements in design, accessories for GI JOE. Even the ROC display stands/dog tags were cool.

The Resolute figures feel like a step back. Gone are the cool display stands. The paint schemes are weak, and some of the sculpts are just...boring. (For the standards set by GI JOE since the 25th, anyway. They are still better than many other action figures out there, but the Retaliation figures are not up to par with current GI JOE standards). I know, allegedly kids only want figures with the silly oversized rocket firing weapons (In my experience, this is definitely NOT true). But if Hasbro just gave us better paint jobs and display stands and got rid of the silly gimmicks entirely...this would be a far better line.

Comparing the 30th figures to the Retaliation figures you can really see what I am talking about.

Again, I want to like these Retaliation figures...but I just don't.

I may pick up a few, but overall, not impressed.

I like the RB and the FF. even though the FF is a departure from my idea of FF, I'm still gonna get it. Seems to be a fairly unique figure.

Yawn. Maybe Hasbro can work on the figures during the 9 month hiatus, while Paramount works on the movie.

If the body was bigger and he had better leg articulation I would consider it, but as is, the head is way too big, and the lack of leg articulation is disappointing. Not a fan of that sled thing he comes with either. I do dig the tampo markings and the translucent forearms though.

Aside from that, the 3 pack Firefly destroys this.

doesnt that storm shadow look just like one from roc?

that does look muuch better. i hope they dont cheap out on the paint apps too much on him. give him a nice subtle camo pattern and some highlights.

That Firefly is an abomination.
The lack of good accesories, the ridiculous color scheme, the bad proportions and damn, he doesn't looks like anything close to FF... this figure is almost a shame.

The only thing that makes it slightly valuable is the head...and that's arguably too, since all movie characters heads are absolutely out of proportions.
Roadrock is safe, because the sheer size of the body, but at all the other movie characters. You can see that even Colton's head is huge. Customizers will be dissapointed cos it wouldn't be easy to make other figs with it. The rest of teh body is PoC Recondo, which is enourmous, with Jungle Duke legs, that are big too.
Lady Jaye is pasable, they should thanks whoever did that Renegades body!

That FF destroys pretty much everything we've seen so far LoL
(and get this H: is not because he's dead on the classic, but also because it's a cool sculpt that makes sense)

That's because it is the same except this one has web gear, an all new head and hinged wrists, the skirt positioned higher, 2 swords from POC Desert Battle Storm Shadow, the backpack from POC Storm Shadow, a gun, and that zipline accessory.

Gotta have the Zipline..its all about the zipline...

Have you guys seen the previews with the cliff hanging battle scene..can't do that without ziplines

Oh, no doubt! What I can't figure is why the single carded FF is going for more on eBay than the 3 pk one.

I'm gonna get a 3 pk FF to display with my FF collection and I'm gonna get another to customize even more like the ARAH one. And I'll get one to play with.

one of each please

I will pick up the FF to use the head for a Punisher custom... That is about it though.

And there is ninja master Roadblock with the Clan tat on his arm........God these figures are cheap like what the Joes were 10 years ago weak. This movie is quite possibly gonna blow just like the figures.

Roadblock will be cool without this battle kata junk, so he's up for customizing.

Glad to see the third version of RB will be carded, unlike Dojo 3 Pk RB. Will he also come with a stand?

I just want the street louge thingy.

The reason why any of these figures priced over $6.97? baffles the hell out of me. Each figure comes with much less than an average PoC figure and most likely has reduced articulation. Not worth a nine moth wait if this is what Hasbro has in store for us.

I do like he Firefly, but I do not like the Storm Shadow (The 25th version is better).

That FF is sweet! The old man head I won't use but with mask on he is a really cool version of the saboteur IMO..

Roadblock is a ninja.
Firefly's face is shown immediately.

I'm sure Snake Eyes will have a significant speaking role in the movie now.

That Green Firefly is really growing on me.

No kidding on the size of these noggins. Jeez. Flint looks ridiculous. The Green Firefly is growing on me but I'll probably rename him to anyone else. The Old man head might make a good Gen Rey? Has anyone been able to ascertain if the stupid gas pump holsters are removeable on Roadblock.

Wave 2 is a pass for me, it's just too repetitive. We already got two Roadblocks, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows in the first wave and now they're making more? At least this time they didn't make another Duke.

That's what they do...you almost always get the big 4 (Duke, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and CC), only now they've swapped Duke for Roadblock...and sure enough, the stores will probably still have the big 4 on their peghooks, while all the troop builders will be the first items sold...2 Snake Eyes, 2 Roadblocks, 2 Storm Shadows and 1 GD joe trooper per case is RETARDED...the case should have been 1 of every named character and 4 Joe Troopers...they should just name this movie to GI Joe: Retardation, looking at these movie toys makes me think this movie is going to make ROC look like solid platinum (rather than the slightly tarnished silver it is)...


I did have the same thought...War Zone Punisher would be sweet...

I too am bothered by all of these facts...Roadblock is a jive talkin' chef not a ninja, how do you sneak up on someone when you're a 7' tall dude smelling like good food and rhymin', and Firefly is the Faceless Master so it kinda defeats that title if he's just running around without a mask and without a blurry face...

I did hear that they are reshooting some scenes; one is just Snake Eyes and Tatum doing a song and dance number as an homage to Tatum's Step Up movie...apparently Snake is a soprano on the old cancer kazoo...it's how they initiate Roadblock into the clan since he doesn't have a couple of decades to gain the mental discipline and training required to be a real ninja...to the clan he's like the Orko of ninjas, they just keep him around to laugh at the big dumb american trying to kick above his head when he can barely reach around to wipe his own ass because of all the bulky unnecessary muscle...I'd love to see the Rock attempt the Ninja Warrior obstacle course, as I seriously doubt someone that large could even make it past the preliminary course...

Hmm, to bad we have to wait so long.

As long as Firefly doesn't pull the Scorpion Pose (Marvel #134)with the rest of the Red Ninjas. To me the real "Jump the Shark" moment of the original Marvel run. Because right after that we got Snake Eyes with Ninja Force, Snake Eyes with Transformers then Star Brigade. Mind you Firefly is a Ninja Roadblock is not.

Does anyone know who comes in the 3 pack with Firefly?

This whole line just looks terrible to me. The packaging is AWFUL, and out of the packaging, the heads are too big. Firefly is my favorite Joe/Cobra character of all time, and I'm still going to pass on all of these.

Will see when the time comes, I may get them all but that version of Storm Shadow.

Indeed. They are so... "foolish" figures. They give a feeling like "mini-Max Steel".

Firefly's thing looks like a mix of Ecto 3 and Ninja Turtle Cheapskate with ooze cannister.

Oh and I'm 6'8 people walk into my chest all the time by mistake or almost run me over with buggies in my white meat coat at Wal-Mart while I stock.

The Rock is only 6'4 so it's not that much of a stretch.

Man, I have to agreee that these are gettig disapooiting. That Firefly looks les and less appealing everytime I see it. I'm going to buy it a) to give it a chance b) because I have the rest. No Flint, or Stromshadow for sure. Maybe Snake Eyes, and the Roadblock better start looking better or he's getting left on the peg too.
