I hate to be a debbie downer but is it just me or do these like WAY less nice then the sample ones shown previously??? Honestly these look like ass compared to the figures we were shown and are used as the pics to sell these on BBTS and the rest of the internet dealers... Look at Flint, total different paint job, Roadblock/Rock looks like complete shit with a grizzly adams beard, SS looks like a completely different figure IMO... Hell they all look like crap compared to the pics we've seen... I gotta say I am extremely disappointed, Ultimate Wave!?! No f@ckin' way, these are movie figures plain and simple... I still like them no doubt but they are clearly not the caliber figures that we were shown, this is the biggest deception/bait and switch of the Joe line I can think of... Boo Hasbro boo...

Misleading yes but unfortunately it doesn't look like Hasbro will stop that practice. |

The ones shown at JoeCon/Toy Fair seem to be hand-painted prototypes whereas the stock photos Hasbro sends to retailers/e-tailers are all digitally airbrushed to hell in Photoshop. So once the figures hit final production, they almost always don't look as good. Instead of having the entire toy painted, what we usually get is a figure molded in color with some paint apps. This goes for all of their lines. Very very very rarely does an actual production figure ever look as good as it's shown at a con or on the box.

So does that mean they have stands? Do the Ultimate figures have any kind of variant cards? Something that says Ultimate?

These don't look nearly as good as I was expecting. I think everyone here realizes what we saw were the best possible versions for the sake of hyping the line, but these just simply don't look as slick as anyone hoped. I'm not going to hate on them and I'm not going to praise them or make excuses why they are this way; it doesn't matter. The bottom line is that they look half as good as what we expected... With that said, I'm still gettin' a case.

I'm glad to see a chrome faced Cobra Commander. Now he won't look out of place standing with my 10 PoC Vipers and chrome Destro.
I'm happy with this wave. I hope this is last good comic-accurate Storm Shadow we're getting. I'm actually tired of having multiple Storm Shadows. Hasbro, pls give us b-list characters instead or just make the concept vault figs a reality. (eyeing on concept vault Leatherneck and GungHo)
