wow!!! i got on earlier and since i been off hisstank like 10 pages went up on this thread. just saw all the new stuff to come and man starduster looks tits! that viper 5-6 pack looks awsome as well with tele viper and snow serpent. and the desert pack was the shit too. cant wait for that. that just made the 25th line so awsome!
but i am really excited about the raw figs. man that hammer jeep is awsome. got to have one. was a bit disapointed bullhorn didnt come with his mask but i cant complain to much. shockwave, lowlight and long arm look awsome as well. i really like the detail. sweet stuff. didnt care for hotwire or the mech. and the paratrooper was a bit dumb too. looked more like a star wars fig. but the rest of everything was the shit. cant wait! |

They would be customs done by Hasbro. I am sure they all ready have plenty of IG's...

That's just how the maker submitted/packaged it I would guess. The weapons and molds are just too similar ("simular" = Texas speak?). Even the MOBAT and driver are custom. I hate it too, I would have liked a Big Boa and a couple others. |

Everything seen so far has been repaints. We'll probably see the new stuff later.
Crimson Guard Toys R Us 5-Pack 1 CG Officer (Chest painted silver) & 4 CG's (facemasks painted silver) Firefly Vs. Greenshirts Toys R Us 5-pack 1 Firefly (not seen) & 4 Greenshirts (Duke legs & arms (why?!), Snake-Eyes torsos, and various heads / legs dark green & torsos light green / Armed w/ Snow-Job rifles & Snake-Eyes Uzis) Pilots Senior Ranking Officers 3-Pack Wild Bill (Repainted darker green and comes with a pilots helmet!) Starduster ( TF Flint upper body & Clutch legs / armed w/ JUMP & Gung-Ho grenade launcher) Ace (Wild Weasel Upper body and Ace lower body / painted dark green) Navy Senior Ranking Officers 3-Pack Diver (Torpedo repainted yellow like cartoon dive suits / probably will be somebody specific) Cutter (Shipwreck body w/ Gung-Ho head) Deep-Six (Don't recognize all the parts except for Ace's vest) Iron Grenadiers Senior Ranking Officers 3-Pack IG Destro w/ purple trim Iron Grenadier (Officer?) w/ purple trim Iron Grenadier w/ red trim Extreme Conditions 7-pack Cobra Desert Assault Squad Major Bludd (The RIGHT way w/ HISS Driver Torso & soft good mask) Cobra Officer Viper w/ African American Trooper head Viper w/ Barbecue body Fred Crimson Guard Crimson Guard Air Trooper w/ Flash body All except Major Bludd painted in desert colors and come w/ various gear. Extreme Conditions 7-pack Cobra Arctic Assault Squad Scrap Iron 3 Snow-Serpents 2 Vipers Televiper w/ Parka Snake-Eyes body & Dial-Tone's gun, Mainframe's computer, & Falcon's back pack. All painted in Arctic colors - blues & whites. Pyramid of Darkness DVD Pack Hooded Cobra Commander (cartoon blue) Major Bludd (silver pads) Cube Arise Serpentor Arise DVD Pack Classic Serpentor w/ snake spear I'd bet money that this Serpentor, Nemesis Enforcer, and Falcon were supposed to be part of The Movie DVD Pack. Single figures HISS Driver (Gray torso) Short-Fuze (Reg 13 body / Looks to be a new head w/ glasses but can't see) Stalker w/ JUMP (Dark green) Flint (Desert) Cobra Trooper (Dark blue w/ red trim on web gear) BAT Blueprints for BAT, Para-Viper, & Dusty Vehicles Trouble Bubble w/ Cobra Commander (Both repainted a darker blue) HISS Tank (repainted red w/ black canopy) w/ IG Destro (silver mask) MOBAT (green) w/ Steeler (Desert) Complete MASS Device The rest are customs. All you have to do is look at the paint job to tell what are customs.

pretty sure the "ranking sets" are production items seeing as they appear to be molded in some of the colors
I believe everything we are seeing except for the obvious customs on the 3rd page of photos are the rest of the year's and next years exclusives the mobat, crimson hiss, blue flight pod and accompanying figs are probably the target ultimate battle pack set the 3 packs and 5 pack sets are tru sets the extreme environment sets walmart?

Ok, I have to confess, I am more than a little annoyed. I am usually dissapointed when hisstank.com's front page news is about somebody's custom. They are great and all, but I want news about figures that are coming out. And now Hasbro is getting in on this...annoyance. It's like a cruel April Fool's day joke.
