Love the new Hawk. I think for a POC version I couldnt imagine better. I'll definetly be buying multiples of this guy for fodder. And then 1 for Hawk himself which I'll definetly "supe" up.

I'm sorry I just had to change my underwear.
Now I have to rob a bank. There are a few duds in there, but this looks like a +$2000 year. All the vehicles awesome and I'll need multiples! Hawk looks like a troop buider to me too. Temple Snake-Eyes? Crap. Techno-Viper Awesome All Cobra Troops look awesome too! The Renegades CC looks good. The other one not so great. Rock-Vipers look amazing. I'm going to have to get the Starscream Skystriker too.

Wow the Rock Viper doesnt have any skin showing. I might just make the head switch with the Mech Alpine and have an awesome body for Alpine. Might just make a squad with that uniform. Could work for Lightfoot too.
Hope Hazard-Viper doesnt turn into a later release of Airtight. Too bulky. Dont get me wrong, I still want them, just not for Airtight.

Yeah, all the figures look great. Hawk and Renegades Duke will make good new characters. Steel Brigade and Steel Brigade Delta will be good troop builders.

Let me just say I'm loving the Techno Viper, Lava/Hazard Viper, Steel Brigade, Crazy-Legs, Black Dragon, Rock Viper, Sci-Fi, Zarana, her variant and that Storm Shadow.
The Skystriker is the most pleasant surprise here. Awesome news. Love the new detail and the new Ace but not thrilled about the helmet. Too sci-fi. Would have preferred a more modern looking helmet. I haven't cared much for the new Joe vehicles but that Osprey and Cobra pilot look badass. I'll have to get two. Even this VAMP release looks better and the SB Delta is a plus. I like what they've done with the Cobra Trooper--a subtle blend of classic outlines with a Shock Trooper kind of modernity. At first I thought the Viper was just a repack but it seems that they've updated his uniform as well to fit in with the Shock Trooper and new Cobra Enemy. Again, its a subtle change but it keeps the classic image. As for Blowtorch, Croc Master, Jungle BAT...I have no idea what they were thinking. The BAT is just boring. And I was expecting a modern twist on Blowtorch and CM but they're just remakes with slight changes in detail. Blowtorch just has new gear. I wish they had used something his oxygen mask on the upcoming Ace. The Stalker and Hawk(?) are cool new versions and would do well for new characters. I especially like that Stalker has a black beret, although Rangers don't wear the black beret anymore, but he's sort of a re-imagining of the '82 Stalker. Don't much care for the Iron Grenadier or the Temple Snake Eyes. The comic/cartoon Cobra Commander, Duke and Firefly are okay. But where's this Flint that was mentioned?

I like most of the "25th Anniversary/ME" style figures that are being released under the PoC banner: Sci-Fi (one of my favourites, yay!), Crazylegs, the carded Steel Brigade trooper, the Techno-Viper, the Viper, and the Cobra Trooper (I'm assuming those last two will have doubly-articulated wrists like Shadow Tracker, which is enough of a reason for me to buy them).
Pretty indifferent with most of the "real" PoC-themed releases and the Renegades-inspired figures save for the new Storm-Shadow (and maybe Stalker -- not digging the dreads, but the camo paint job is great if they can accurately recreate it in mass production, it's the closest I've seen GI Joe come to recreating the M81 Woodland pattern in this scale). Pretty much ignoring Blowtorch and Croc Master. I think they barely qualify as more than re-releases of their prior versions. I'm willing to bet that they (along with Temple Guardian Snake-Eyes) will be this generation of figures' "designated peg-warmers." Last edited by zuludelta; 02-13-2011 at 04:35 PM.. |

It looks like a light year for me.
Will gets: Renegades Duke Sci-Fi Skystriker Possibles: VAMP Stalker Hawk (base for Colonial Marine) I wish the Black Dragon was bigger. It's not bad in itself, but I was hoping for a troop transport. If I hadn't seen it on Renegades, it would probably have been a possible.

You know, I was thinking about creating some custom SWCCs but didn't know what helmets to use, but the new Hawk helmet and googles could work. Granted it doesn't have the NVG mount but the hanging chin strap looks pretty cool. What do you guys think?
