Thanks for the updates guys, great stuff, I'm really diggin most of it. I like Beachhead alot and Eels and Airborne are perfect. I may be alone on this but I think that Claw pilot looks sharp. All the vehicles are sweet and whether you like the new Copperhead or not at least he has fixed hands. Hey Destro, any news on what "Be Your Own GI Joe" is all about?

Thanks Destro for the awesome pics. Everything looks so cool, I like Matt Trakker and Airborne the most.

Double AMEN!
Eels are the best troop builders yet, imo

Wow, so much new stuff and most of it we haven't even seen before. Let's start with the Comic Packs.
Wild Bill/Scrap Iron: Win, win, win. I can't say enough good about this pack. A comic/cartoon accurate Bill, and one of the last major Cobras to be made. Not only that, but SI has his accessories! SE/Hard Master: They're neat, but nothing mind blowing like the Wild Bill set. Beach Head/Mainframe(Dataframe): Strange change in name, but as a huge fan of the original Beach Head figure, this one ups the ante. Mainframe brings another '86 figure to the dance, which is awesome. Can Dial Tone be far away? Moving on to Wave 11 now. Pilot Scarlett: Cool enough I suppose, but as I never even knew about Action Man until adulthood, this does nothing for me. The short hair is nifty, though. Cobra Eel: Yes, yes, yes! Now release one with the Night Landing, or better yet, a black Moray with grey and red highlights. Airborne: Another perfect figure. Hasbro is batting 1000 this year with me. Zartan w/ skier: Very cool update, but what's with the Skier? Maybe this should have come in a vehicle 2pk. Cobra Flint: Slightly different than the press photo, and I'm not sure if I'm digging the red gear, but oh well. Matt Tracker: As a huge fan of MASK back in the day, this is a definite surprise. Hasbro, if they wanted, could do a lot worse than make a small M.A.S.K line. Nothing big. Think Xevoz. Esp. if they were in scale with the 25th style Joes...drool. And for vehicles, which is my personal favorite, we've got quite a group coming out. A.W.E Striker with SM Brazil Leatherneck: Why did they use Buzzer's shoulder pad? Looks kinda silly. Hopefully they get rid of that and use the correct camo when they eventually single card him. I dig the desert Striker, though. I wish they would have kept that desert colored Flint in the Target pack, because he'd look perfect on it. Sky Hawk w/ Lift Ticket: Odd choice for a driver/pilot, but whatever. At least it's a new character and not another repaint. Not that I mind repaints when done correctly, but after a while they get kinda old. As with most things pre-'86, I never owned the Sky Hawk before, so this will be a thrill for me. F.A.N.G. and C.L.A.W: More awesomeness, except for the drivers, which I could care less about. Didn't really matter who they packed with these vehicles, as they'll sell like hot cakes anyway. Just look at the Ram/Trouble Bubble set. Water Moccasin w/ Copperhead: Holy crap, they actually did it! Can't wait to get this one either. Copperhead I could care less about. Doesn't really look like PP to me, so maybe it's not? Who know, who cares. Comic Pack Copperhead will finally have a ride. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Sideshow Toys 2 figures shown so far. Snake Eyes is amazing, but we already knew about him. Now they go and knock one out of the park with the Commander himself. Now *this* is Cobra Commander. I would love to see a version like this in either the 25th line or the Movie line. All this and it's not even preview night. Wow.

??? Where is the Pilot Scarlett pic? I didn't see it.
Also, are those the Hasbro customs we saw at JoeCon? Or are those actual figures we're getting? Edit: Doh! It's the front page pic. I just clicked it, and started looking at all the ones on the bottom....and that one wasn't included.

Snow Job, the Scarlett pic is the main pic on the front page. If you click it again after it redirects you, you'll see a much larger image.
