I think you mean Grand Slam.

I'm not sure how many 25th anniversary figures I'll own, but if I was jumping into it, the new releases would make me very happy. That army builder set, the Crimson Guard, and Comic Pack General Hawk are beautiful toys.

awesome, those are awesome. I'll have to see how the hiss driver looks cause that's cool. Glad to hear they are bringing out vehicles now, i heard they weren't going to.

Ya one can't get every toy that is in the line, but i was expecting a few more of the dreadnok's sinse they released buzzer & zartan only. but i guess they'll come later. I'll have to get the cobra trooper set & the crimson guard, destro looks pretty cool too.

The Torch and Ripper pictures were not posted until today.

A couple items to note:

 - Flash and Grand Slam WILL have the textured pads in production. This is done at the tooling level (in the mold) so the protos don't have it.
 
- The little black pack on Snow Job's left leg is in fact the Rapid Deployment Force case. Kind of neat.

- Word is Destro WILL come with a cape.

- Comic pack Cobra Commander will be the masked one seen in the package, not the hooded one seen loose.

- Wave 3 Shipwreck will have a variant - it will be his tattoo. One will be an anchor, the other a dolphin. A Wave 3 shipwreck was shown in card with a white shirt. The production ones will be light blue like the original.

- Wave 3 Stalker will have a variant, it will be a running change. The first batch will be that puke yellow/brown we've seen, then it will be switched to the traditional green camo we are all used to.

- Wave 4 will be the 5-pack figures single carded.

My review of the Rat:

A little piece of crap.

I'm pleased with all of these.
I'm not sure if I'll get them all due to space restriction, but I'll get as many as I can.
I'm wondering why they do repaints of the V1 style snake eyes and not the V2?
A black version would be cool in the ninja set for instance.

ninjas!!!!

Few questions:

Do you think we will have those in Canada? When?

Does it also mean we won't have GI Joe with O-Ring anymore? I have to admit the Crimson guards and Dreadnocks look very cool... call me old fashion, but I still prefer the old format...
