Tombstone, is going to be Claymore for me. Pop that head on a cobra trooper body and call it good. All the more perfect if the helmet will fit.
I'm happy with the whole line up, would of rather had a Danger at the Docks Flint repainted as Duke, but this one works too. Like a POC update of Duke. I would of never thought Hasbro would make Shooter, very surprised and glad to see it and just as happy with the female Cobra Officer. Between the club and Hasbro it's going to be a good year for Joe. |

There will be a lot of Dukes,
Outbacks and Falcons on eBay lol I don't get why Heavy Duty didn't come with the mini-gat. Or any webgear. Unless he's bulletproof. The army builders and the ladies are a plus for me. I don't have these guys

I don't know too much about that Shooter chick. Based on most of the pics, I thought she was a white chick, but looking at this close up picture, she looks like a black chick. Does anyone know if the character is an African American chick, or not? Its hard to tell in the above close up pics. Thanks in advance to whoever knows. I like the line up. Especially the females and the Zombies. Can't have too many of those. Glad to finally have Shooter. And I think the way they all will be packaged is the best yet. Troop builder with troop builder. Unlike Gung Ho and Shadow Guard.

Underwhelming.
For now, that's what I think. At first, I flipped out when I saw Shooter. Then the Zombie 2pk (looks like FINALLY they're getting it) which I hope I can get a couple sets (around here -Argentina- they're impossible to find, or cost 2-3 times a MotUC or an exclusive). A quick glance and saw Outback and Falcon half painted, and another uninteresting Viper-IG pack. Oh well. Turns out that Outback is actually quite ugly, made of a mismatch of pieces. I wouldn't mind them if not because he's half painted (the biceps, really?); Falcon is bland too, but at least can make a good fodder batch. These are by far the worst of the wave. Seems like they changed the sculptor's team, because Shooter/ Cobra Trooper torso is ridiculously long, flat and lacking of details. It has even less details than the 25th Cobra Troopers. Unfortunately, a full torso (and arms apparently) is difficult to ignore :S SE vs SS pack might be useless, but is still a good options to get BOTH the ultimate versions of them. Heavy Duty looks ok, but that Roadblock body is already overused. Dunno who are Tombstone and Stiletto, but frankly there's not much awesome there... Tombstoe is fine as fodder cannon, but that extra-huge melon head is going to be troublesome. And Stiletto... eh, it's fine I guess. Duke. Version... what, 40? 50? And still they didn't released the only one that could matter, a simple repaint of the latest Flint. Still, the figure is useful for other things. Overall? Underwhelming so far, unless production finals get better. It is way too obvious they're trying to squeeze the last coins of the franchise, but ffs, there are better things to do with little effort... because these have none.

I like most of the figures in this wave and I will put my money at TRU when they release them!

She also became a pretty big character in the novel G.I. Joe: First Salvo, which is available on Amazon. The third book in the series, G.I. Joe: Body Count, was the first appearance of Stiletto. There has also been a novella released about her: G.I. Joe Legacy: Stiletto. It was part of the legacy series that was written by Jim Beard, Bill Nedrow, Justin Bell, and Troy Osgood. |

I love Cobra Trooper and Shooter of course. I'll be a buy on all of these with some troop building. Pretty well done, Hasbro.

I am easy and these hit a lot of high notes for me. Those troop builder packs are going to accumulate eat my house hopefully. Real excited about a few things like ..the SAW Viper for some reason, getting more 25th IGs with the Vipers.

I mostly like this line up. Duke sucks. The Falcon/Outback/Shooter pack is sort of a mixed bag. It's a terrible build for OB, but I don't have an OB so at least I can use the head to make a custom. Falcon, minus the arms, is great for parts. Shooter is great, I'm impressed with the amount of new tooling she got, they could have easily used RET Lady Jaye legs, for instance.
I'll be putting a lot of BATs on eBay,
