I can't wait to see what the Cobra box and single cards look like.

Hooded Cobra Commander was on my list and I think most everyone expected it. I had Cobra Officer on my next 15 list too and I put Snake-Eyes version 2 on my list after I noticed I had Cobra Trooper as a new figure. Only version 2 Snake-Eyes was on my most wanted list, that was before the first was announced. The real surprise to me is the 1988 style Storm Shadow. I have been waiting since Hasbro relaunched G.I. Joe with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra series for a Joe Storm Shadow, at least I hope it is a Joe version. Anyway all four are must haves in my book.

Looks like Hasbro has updated their 25th Anniversary page. It has a thumbnail of each of the first 10 figures with their old file card images in place of the thumbnails with the new figure pictures, although they lead to the new figure pictures as expected. They also have the theme song playing when you view the page. You can check it out here.
Edit: After looking up the old file cards I notice that the Baroness, Roadblock, Cobra Trooper, Scarlett, and Snake-Eyes have new art based on the originals or are slightly altered. I can not make out any differences between Duke's, Cobra Commander's, Storm Shadow's, Gung-Ho's, or Destro's. Edit 2: The differences are as follows: Baroness - New gun and now has a knife in left hand Roadblock - Ammo strap added Cobra Trooper - The strap on the right shoulder has different equipment to match the new figure Scarlett - Crossbow is held up higher. It is now printed over her hair where as before it was printed over her shoulder. Snake-Eyes - New gun that comes with figure That is all that I could see at first glance. There are probable other differences but the pictures for the new art and the old ones I found are all small. Edit 3: Dukes art is also new. The grenade on the left shoulder is smaller and the strap that holds his binoculars is different. My guess is that the art for all ten are new.

OK so the new design is old news since C.I.A.D. posted it on cobraisland.com but I didn't see anyone point out the art is new. Am I the only one to notice it? The easiest one to look at is the Baroness since she is holding a knife in the new art and didn't have one on the original carded figure.

ARBCO apprantly also states on the TNI board that figures will measure 4.25" tall instead of the classic height of 3.75".
