25th Anniversary rumoured list
« on: July 20, 2008, 09:11:24 PM »

Anybody following what is rumoured to be coming out?  Ed and I talked about this on the weekend but we both had a tough time re-calling what rumoured figures were going to be made later in 2008 and early 2009.   I knew a list existed that kepted track of all this.

Hasbro said Mindbender is coming, but not in a single pack and they were not specific about him being in a comic pack or not.

Oh man, this sounds great!  Zap, Cover Girl, some more Resolutes...  I'm one happy fanboy.  They can't come out soon enough!

I am a big Zap fan but the real excitement for me is Dr. Mindbender. He is probably the single most important character introduced in the second half of the 80s. As a kid, he pretty much led my Cobras, I wasn't lucky enough to get a CC or Destro when they were available originally, first CC was in battle armor and I don't think I got a proper Destro until 1997 (the '93 space suit version simply sucked, but I bought it anyway as a place holder). I wonder if the recent over abundance of CCs and Destros is Hasbro's way of saying sorry for being stingy with Cobra leaders in the 80s.

Dr. Mindbender is going to be a must-have for me, too.  But I was under the impression he'd be in a comic pack...

Ah, well...  as a single would be better.  The artwork on it would be enough for me to pick up multi-copies of the American card

Alpine in a comic pack is good. I didn't see Cover Girl on the list but I'm not wearing my glasses...
I'll get Mindbender because I finally got a Serpentor and I want to make an army for him to go against my Battle Armor Cobra Commander. (as a kid I thought he made the armor to fight Serpentor and I still like that idea)

I'm not sure what the deal is with Zap exactly. I only know him from the Commador 64 video game.

I am looking forward to Zap the most - simply to fill out my original 13, and he was my first and for a long time onlly Bazooka soldier.  I ended up getting bazooka later one when I was a kid but I think I lost his weapon the first day!
