Starting with Wave 2 case assortments of the G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Comic 2 Packs there will be many Fixed Articulation Figures available. Hawk, Snake Eyes, Breaker, Torch and Ripper are included in this update.

Wave 1 of the comic packs still has the original articulation. I am glad I did not open my set.

Hmm, do I feel like waiting for wave 2 to show up, or just ripping into wave 1 as soon as I find it? I think I'm not gonna worry about articulation fixes so much with the comic packs To be honest, the Snake-Eyes mold was already pretty good anyway, sure the new fixes work better, but most of these will wind up being custom fodder for me anyway

After looking at the covers to these I've noticed a few interesting facts, such as the hiss on the ace/wild weasel pack is the new hiss. The breaker/destro pack has an updated pic of the rattler, and the A.P.C. looks a lot like the cab of the R.O.C.C. Look for yourself.

Oh oh, are we going to have more warped figures from the tight packing? |

I have the first wave in hand and yes they were a little bent at first. They go back to normal in just a few minutes out of package and putting them on the stand correctly.

Glad to hear that they go back to normal with a little time. The action poses look great for the MIP collection, but I've had a bunch of really bent weapons/hands/ankles on my loose figure.

Interesting news!
I have all the wave 1 comic packs as of yesterday & you will have to do a little heat to get the hands back in order etc. as the fixed packaging does tend to mildy warp shapes. My Hawk & SE have the original style hip articulation. These also face some of the problems that you see with the 5 packs with not as tight legs or paint rubbing from faces, I was very lucky in all cases with the sets I have purchased by comparison. I would consider buying fixed articulation versions if the paint apps where as nice as the ones I have already found. |
