Exactly my thoughts. Can't believe they kept the hair. Can't believe it.

Wow...that's a lot of info. Damn.
Thanks for keeping that all straight! Can't wait to cruise into NYC in 2 weeks and check this stuff out first hand. As for the pics... The Joes are all pretty much as we've seen them and how we figured them, no surprises there. The COBRA Viper ROCKS. I really love that design. The high metal collar, that skin tight black metal skull-mask. Love it. If the Vipers look that cool, I can't wait to see what the Neo-Vipers look like. Very nice. The Doctor...hmmm... not sold. I do like the very tech-oriented mouth piece, but maybe it's just the Photoshop composition on the card itself, but it doesn't look "real". It definitely looks kind of chopped together. The monocle is a bit forced, too, it would have been cool to see some sort of optical unit like the Battle Corps Mindbender had. Still an homage, but something that fit the overall look a bit better. Zartan is a surprise, and of course, a bit underwhelming, but with how often he changes his look, I have no doubts that he'll appear in all sorts of uniforms in the flick, he won't just be walking around in a suit. All in all, I'm really getting more excited to just see this thing "out there". Good or bad, hit or miss, I'm psyched to just sit in the theater and check it out for myself. Maybe it'll be terrible, maybe it'll rock my socks off, regardless, I just want to see it. Looking forward to the trailer in a few days, too. Justin |

hahahaha, that's a good point!!! I'm pretty down on Sommers (i like the first Mummy movie but think most everything else has been crap), but AT LEAST he's not Brett Ratner!!! lol

now that I have had a chance to look at all the cards away from work, I have to say, I like them all. I'm feeling very optimistic about the trailer.
does the movie have to be great for me to enjoy it? nope. it just has to make me feel as an adult watching these characters the way I felt as a child watching them. |

all this news is making me more optimistic.
do i like it all? no but i dont CRY for retribution. i am REALLY excited about the toys. the pitt especially. i hope zartan is shown in his original attire. the more characters they can have resemble their old school counterparts the better. so i take it the doctor is CC from reading the other posts??? and people know this how? i love the fact the doc resembles mind bender in appearance and in his bio. i really hope he doesnt turn into CC. that'd be a shame but if he DOES i like the idea of CC being a mad man that does experiments i like the vipers. i STILL hate the wayans in all films. breaker is fine(better chew bubble gum) i'd rather have him be hi-tech. i doubt they'd ever use dial tone since the name is kinda dated. no one even HEARS a dial tone anymore on cellphones. at least none of the ones i have used in the past couple years. i LOVE the doctor..i mean destro. i cant wait to see him in the mask. i bet he will be great. SS/SE will always be cool. i hope to see a more classic SS in the movie though. baroness....can bare my nerd babies anyday. hawk looks fine the rest are meh |

I expected more from the cards. I really thought it was a joke. Cropping press release images onto fake i.d. badges doesn't cut it. Even the descriptions were written for a four year old, which is probably the soul intent, since the toys are 4+.
How hard is it to take new photos, create readable bios, and acquire a font that says "Top Secret". I still am looking forward to the trailer, but now it needs to convince me more than entertain me. Are these trying to be file cards or trading cards. |
