[Cobra-La]

Check out what I found on the club website!!! This list hadn't been posted before today which means pix must be coming very soon! Which is not surprising since they usually come right after the Wave is confirmed!

Hasbro Reveals New Wave 5 figures

Coming this fall is one of the most incredible waves of GI Joe ever. Fill out your collection with old favorites Bazooka and Barbecue or build a limitless army of troops with BATs and Snow Serpents.

Design Team notes on Hawk - General Hawk is based closely on the original 1986 release (Bomber Jacket version) but features a few detail updates, including single-stars on his epaulletes, and a proud array of medals earned from his years of service with GI Joe. Also features a name Placard with “ABERNATHY”. Backpack and helmet based on original 1986 release but improved with more accurate and realistic details.



Design Team notes on Bazooka - Who wouldn’t want a big 14 on his chest? Bazooka leads the way in this 1985 recreation. Features 4 missiles that disconnect from the backpack to load into the bazooka weapon. Pose Bazooka with his weapon on his shoulder, or store his weapon on his backpack.



Design Team notes on Barbecue - Loving his job, Barbecue goes through any tight spot to put out all the fires. Inspired by his 1985 début, Barbecue’s accessories are recreations of his original gear with improved details.



Design Team notes on Black Storm Shadow - Based on an international variant, this all-black version of storm shadow is considered to be the leader of the nefarious “Ninja-Ku”.



Design Team notes on Snow Serpent - Considered by many to be the most deadly of all the vipers, Snow Serpents must first begin in EELS training. This incarnation of the Snow Serpent pays homage directly to the original 1985 release of this soldier. Features a clear visor, original snowshoes, and the signature missile station found in the original version.



Design Team notes on BAT - The best troopers to put in a firefight, because they never question orders or surrender. Details are greatly based off the original 1985 release. Both arms are removable to interchange with his improved arm weaponry and he also features a removable clear chest plate.

Its a great year for G.I.*JOE!!!

I can't wait for this wave!!!!

[hectorxd]

this has the potential to be very exciting or a let down for many.

I guess since Cornerstore Comics let the cat out of the bag, Hasbro now is moving to confirm the lineup. I couldn't be happier since this line is shifting more towards the era of G.I. Joe I know and loved which was the later years of the RAH line, when most of the COBRA figures were kick-ass Vipers and other troop types.

Fantastic

This is beautiful...sniff, sniff...I think I just shed a tear?

[arashikage storm]

Makes me sad, tho...Storm Shadow is grouped with cobra, which means that he is probably NOt the Ninja force version i have been hoping for....

Can't wait to get it!
