I'm thinking you will see more new tooling in these than you're expecting. Kitbash and out and out Repaints (with the exception of CC) isn't what POC has been putting out.

I'm ok with that sculpt. I'd rather it be red and yellow rather than orange and yellow, but it's not a deal breaker. If they change the paint apps a bit and put the 25th head under there I will be happy. |

That Volcano Viper repaint is not confirmed as Blowtorch, and you'll probably be disappointed if you're hoping it is. Those types of colors do not fit in with the direction Pursuit of Cobra is going with the Joe troops. The last Joe who was that bright was Arctic Doc.

This theory sounds about right.

-Small Joes is listing CC as version 2. Is that hooded CC or V2 of the newest CC we got (red carded)?
-I hope Hawk, CC, and Cobra Trooper are Renegade style, but wouldnt Hasbro release the major characters first? -All in all, looking forward to the Steel Brigade figure and Crazylegs!

This should be a much better thread than my last one...
IF I HAD TO GUESS: Here are my speculations about the 2011 figures we've recently heard of... * Blowtorch - Remember the yellow & red Volcano Vipers we saw a while back? * Cobra The Enemy - (Wasn't Shock Trooper supposed to fill this role?) Shock Trooper repaint w/ new gear/vest, head and the old-school Cobra helmet. * Cobra Commander - the famous cancelled Jungle Assault CC, possibly w/ a blue redeco * General Hawk - this will go 1 of 2 ways: a) Based on his appearance on Renegades, or b) an update of the '86 version. * Jungle BAT - We saw it already! Get OUTTA here! * Steel Brigade - This will either be an Airborne repaint w/ a ski-masked head and the Steel Brigade helmet that came w/ the Pit Troopers OR a repaint of some other figure w/ a ski-masked head and the ... GI Joe 2011 Series 4 * Snake Eyes Temple Guardian - FINALLY we'll see an unmasked Snake-Eyes (and then I will wake up, in a frozen hell, while pigs soar high above me!) Probably Snakes in a more traditional martial arts outfit. * Crazy Legs - Classic update, darker colors, working parachute? (fingers crossed!) * Croc Master - this could be interesting. I'm guessing we'll get a complete overhaul of the character w/ a BIG croc this time. * Rock Viper - Range-Viper or Alley-Viper body, repaint vest, new head, lots of gear * Viper - It would make more sense for this to be a new figure but for some reason, I smell repaint w/ fixed arms, chrome faceplate, new gear * Iron Grenadier - a sleeker, more modern version of the classic head w/ a new kitbashed body. These are just my predictions. What does everyone else think? |

That's why I think they will be Renegades-style figs. A good way of introducing some of those characters into the line, getting collectors behind it first. Say whatever you will about collectors, they are at least the early adapters. |
