Post by: Pete The Greek on February 16, 2008, 09:15:29 PM: I am really digging the little attention to detail on the vehicles, like the V.A.M.P. These will fit in nicely with the vintage stuff.
Title: Re: Toy Fair 2008 and Hasbro Press Release
Post by: Deadshot on February 16, 2008, 09:42:40 PM: I am also really digging the new stuff The Baroness in the wet suit looks great. I love the fact that the Weather Dominator and Mass Device are coming.

The only thing I don't like it the Face on the unknown green dude.

Post by: akpayne on February 16, 2008, 09:45:26 PM: I love the look of this stuff - I really don't want to have to pay shipping and duty on this stuff.
Title: Re: Toy Fair 2008 and Hasbro Press Release
Post by: Pete The Greek on February 16, 2008, 09:45:50 PM: I hope these are in Canada as well. I am getting sick of paying for shipping as well.
Title: Re: Toy Fair 2008 and Hasbro Press Release
Post by: morgardee on February 16, 2008, 10:41:05 PM: I gotta admit, I like it all. Sure some of the molds looks a little odd since they are using wave one parts but in the big picture it's really good. The vehicles look awesome. I love that the RAM finally has handle bars. That has always be a favorite of mine. Vamp looks all new, Hiss looks like the JvsC Hiss and the others looks like old molds with some new parts.

Now I don't mind missing the meet in Texas. My wallet is going to be hurting enough just from all the cool new 25th anniversary stuff. I'm hoping Canada will get all this stuff since Hasbro Canada has said they really want to rev things up for the movie in 2009. Even if the movie isn't what we as die hard fans want, at least we should have a good 2 - 2 1/2 years of new product that we can get in Canada.

I am not sure what to make of the Bat. I still love the original one. There is some thing weird about the 25th one though.

Post by: morgardee on February 17, 2008, 09:03:35 AM: I'm liking the new BAT. Looks like he has a removable head for battle damage:

But what's with the smashed up clear chest piece? Is that battle damage as well?

Post by: Stealth Viper on February 17, 2008, 09:50:45 AM: wow. I love it. ALL

..and here I thought I was done with vehicles.

Gotta have the VAMP, and a fleet of HISS and trouble bubbles.

Also going to need a dozen or more of those BATs!

Post by: BHMike on February 17, 2008, 10:29:16 AM: It looks like the shovel on the Vamp is removable. That's just cool.

Post by: Scramble on February 17, 2008, 11:40:22 AM: Trouble Bubbles? My dream of having dozens of those buggers hanging from all points of my room is almost fulfilled!

Post by: Redmao on February 17, 2008, 12:01:29 PM: Ok Hasbro you got me!

Yep it looks like a battle damage chest part. And the Cannister with the little spike things is from issue #44 in marvels Run. Oh man that is cool

Post by: akpayne on February 17, 2008, 07:40:16 PM: I have to think that someone at Hasbro is currently paying attention.
If I can find these at Retail I will be buying three
One to keep, one to open - and one for my son!
If I can't find them at Retail I will be getting at least 1, and if the Dollar stays at par or better it will be 2.
I have always loved the vehicles and recently haven't been buying anything other than figures, but if the end up being as cool as they look, I am back in with both feet!

Post by: Realboss on February 17, 2008, 09:43:28 PM: I like the direction Hasbro is going with the 3 3/4 figs but the 12" figures are lacking quite a bit in my books. I can't wait to see what Sideshow has in store.

From what I have read it's Grunt. He is suppose to come with the RAM.
