Mike, I'd go regardless. With Hasbro now having the ML line, and the potential to see these and things like the Transformers Movie toys...

Hell, *I* want to go.

But it serves me no point to attend now.
I have other things I can do.

I had considered going with a handful of resumes and applying to all thee companies..... but then realzed how lame that would be - they're trying to get people to buy from them - not hire someone. ;-)

It would serve me no "point" either - I'd just love to see the protos.

Do it Mike. Be the inside man and find out for us if Canada is getting any Joe love this year or if it's back to on line buying. Man I hope Hasbro Canada doesn't drop th ball on these guys.

It wouldn't be lame, dude. If you want it you gotta go for it! It's what will set you apart from everyone else.

Sweet Moses they all look great! Baroness' face looks like Agent Annika with frames on. Destro's MARS suitcase may be an awesome accessory if you can fit some weapons in there. Gung-Ho looks superb in those colours! I also hope they make a lot of those Cobra Troopers.

Boy, I really hope these are available in Canada.  It would be great if they had bilingual cards as well (now thats 25th anniv...)

HA! I was reading the posts on yo joe and they are not to release the other pictures of the 25th's on there forums, even thou Hasbro F'd up.
Another great reason why joecanuck.com is better.  No corporate influence here.

I keep looking at Destro.  Man, this one could have been better.  What is will the green eyes?  Carrying radiation in his case or what?

When the re-launch was done around 5 years ago.  This is the way it should have been done. It sure sounds like most people are dumping the other so called new sculpts from 2002-2006 in favour of these.  Man, if wasn't a completiest, I would have never of gotten them in the first place.  Over 95% of the new sculpts I just hated, mostly because of body proportions.  I couldn't incorporate them into my vintage collection as a result.  These 2007 ones are alot better, minus the diaper for a waist.  But the waist is better than the 2002 ones.  But I still can't incorporate these into my vintage style collection.  They will have to be seperate.   That is why I prefer single packs and hopefully some kick ass art work to go with it.

So one figure of each will be enough and maybe a handful of the soldiers.  I still have enough TRU Cobra Infantry soldiers in were I don't need to army build this new sculpt to that level. 

Now, I am really going to be interested in what MC does for there set.  No doubt it will o-ring figures and really the way to go if your going to pay homage to something done 25 years ago.

goddamn, Hasbro has really outdone themselves here.  hell, these are just the first 10 figures, and I'm completely in love with Joe all over again (which is a weird feeling since my passion for it has never died, I guess it's just brighter burning now).  Really can't wait to see what the other 15 are here, should be a hell of a jaw-dropper when they're unveiled... christ knows I'm HOPING they'll all be on display at Toy Fair.
