I WANT HIM!!!
I hope Beachhead is good too they are two of my favorite characters. Why are so many people upset with the Firefly? I haven't seen more than the marketing pictures or seen reviews. Does he have awful arms like Snake Eyes or something? |

Both were called Shockwave originally. Kids today... Interesting that they're calling him Shock Wave though, instead of using the one word. Maybe that's their way of getting past the copywrite issues Hasbro had, leading to "Shockblast". It'd be hard to screw this one up, but they pushed it pretty far with Firefly, as much as do like that figure. And I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed they're doing an '88 figure - not as classic/iconic as anything they've done so far. I suspect the only reason they're doing him is because of the easy head sculpt (which would be even easier if they just use Beach Head's head, which I really hope they don't...). They seem a bit adverse to doing actual face sculpts so far, although what we have gotten (Duke and Storm Shadow's alternate head) have been really good. I'll get it, almost certain of that, but I would have been happy not having a character like Shockwave as part of the line. I'd much prefer getting the more iconic guys, like Roadblock, Gung Ho, Flint, etc.

I dont think this confirms Shockwave coming anytime soon just because they mentioned it...its not even in development yet...Beachhead is coming and possibly zartan...and there are much more others characters that need to be made before shockwave...he's on the loooong list...but I doubt he's coming anytime soon...and the way sideshow moves...it will be 2020 before we get him

This figure arrived just as I was dropping out of Joes and "growing up." Not one of my top ten, but he is a cool looking figure.

Sure. Next you're going to tell me Nemesis Immortal isn't his original name either. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go play with my vintage Data Frame and Sgt. Thunderblast figures. |

To correct a few ppl, i've collected from SideShow Collectibles this far with all the G.I.Joe line, so far and SS are known for changing thier product so they might change Firefly. As for the Cobra Trooper, the Cobra Officer, and the new Cobra Sniper all do varie thier heads, they aren't the same heads, they are sculpted differant, for example the Cobra Trooper has more wrinkled face around his eyes, and 2 wide open eyes. The Cobra Officer has one wide open eye and one that looks half closed, like he's sqinting. I also can tell from the pictures of the Cobra Sniper's eyes are asians eyes. That's just a few differances i have noticed with the SS G.I.Joe line.
