Not too bad so far. There are a lot I want and a few I will pass on.
All of the wave 10 figures are awesome. I may have to buy a lot more of the Para-Viper after seeing it. The Ultimate Battles set is now a pass since there isn't that many new characters and I don't need another Crimson H.I.S.S. and several of the Joe's and Cobra's. I may get this set on clearance if it is still available. The Desert and Arctic sets are awesome and a must buy. I wish I knew where they are being released. At any rate they will, hopefully, be mine. The TRU 5-packs are a pass. The Crimson Guards do nothing for me and I'm a Crimson Guard fan. I doesn't help Hasbro put a lot of them out in the past few years. The Firefly vs. Green Shirts is OK but I think I will pass unless I have the money for them. The TRU 3-packs are nice. I must have both Joe sets no matter who some of the figures in question are. The IG set is a pass since I don't need another IG Destro that looks just like the first and the colors for the IG Officer do nothing for me. The DVD sets are OK but I'm really disappointed by Serpentor. It really doesn't look too "Classic" to me, especially with the skirt. The B.A.T., Dusty, Quick Kick, and Cobra Commander are great. The skeleton I could have done without. They could have just used the money they used to tool that figure and make Dr. Mindbinder. Bludd with be a lot better without the silver metal dipper. The wave 2 vehicles are awesome. My only problem here is Deep Six. I love the classic look but I thought someone said that in the last Club Magazine that it would have more articulation. Either way at least it is true to the original. I hope we see wave 11 tomorrow along with some other great surprises. As of right now I'm happy with a lot of what was shown and can see where a lot of my money is going.

Wow. Some of the stuff looks great. I wasn't impressed with Wraith though.
I am still wondering where Zap and Short Fuse are though. I mean Dukes galore and still we don't have the original 13 complete? I wasn't really looking forward to quick kick but after seing the figure I really want him. And I realy like the bazooka cobra officer. Didn't think I would but he'll be a cool variation to the same old repainted cobras. |

is anyone else disappointed in seeing the mobat? the 25th figures look rather silly in the mobat. they would have had to retool the turret to allow the figure to sit much lower in the turret for it to not look akward with a guy standing with 50% of him sticking out the top. that and the vintage turrent it fairly narrow diameter.
love the new figures and the new sets! it's going to be a very expensive year for joe collectors! i have to point out that this site's coverage has been amazing. you leave for an hour or so and you have PAGES of comments to catch up on. i have to keep writing down the post numbers to keep track where i left off.

they could have done a Mauler since so much time was put into it for the con last year and it fell through...heck...i'd have even rather had a Slugger or Warthog...both of which we know they still have the molds for because TRU just released them not long back... |

sorry if I missed it. I have read every page but dont remember.
I was looking through the pictures and the BAT from the DVD set doesnt have the black dry brushing or whatever it is on the silver. I like it better. I think I am going to puke though after seeing that spring loaded weapon.

I haven't seen it mentioned(it's a large thread, forgive me if I missed it), but I think I recall somewhere on these boards where someone mentioned a cartoon series. Has anything been said about this, or I am losing my mind? lol

You know what Golob, I am thinking the same thing! If you read the highlights from TNI, they said it would be something big AND something we would never expect them to release. They mentioned the flagg and dome as a possibility latter but nothing was said about the Defiant!!! Lets keep our fingers crossed!!
