If they are all along this calibre, I guess I'll have to come out of "Joe Buying Retirement"

Meh.
I'm not impressed.
The figure looks really lanky, the wrists are bad-looking, the sandals are an incredibly goofy thing to give a ninja, the knife in the belt looks like it'll be in the way most of the time...

Hopefully the final product'll look better.

Based on the diaper he is wearing, I think the o-ring is a thing of the past.  Otherwise, it's a nice looking figure.  I am so digging the accessories and the paint detail.

Yes, I agree.. but that's been the rumour for this line for some time.

If it's similar in style and articulation to the Marvel Legends figures .... I think I can deal with it.

It's already a LOT better then those damn T crotches we got when the line "relaunched" last time.

I can live with the o-ring, provided if the figure is outstanding like this.  I hope the tradtional style art work is brought back.

I thought the DTC packaging was phenomenal and that Storm Shadow looks great!

I'm almost ready to enter the Raptor school of collecting and sell off a good chunk of my older figures, keep one per character.

I have so many bad RAHC, JvC, Spy Troops and VvV figures that have been redone and redone and redone. I just want to get rid of them. Especially when there's these 25 guys coming out next year.

Man, I hope the rumour of two 5-packs for the first 10 figure release doesn't happen.

It looks like a mini Marvel Legends figure. Pretty cool.

I agree. I'd love to see these single-carded.

I can't wait for noon today to see another picture!
Each day the club will post a new picture around noon.
I'm sure gijoe.com will do the same.

I really like all the details on SS. His look is really traditional even down to the straw sandals. He really looks like a ninja from ancient japan. I'll bet these figures will be very popular.

That's exactly what I was hoping for. Now I just need to know price and availability. If it ends up less than $10 a fig, I'll get them all.

That is just plain awesome. The Joe vs Cobra junk from 2000 - 2006 I bought but didn't really care that much for and none of it is on display anymore but all in bags packed away, but these figures. Wow. I think I'll have to take down a shelf of ARAH and set up on shelf of those bad boys.

Just awesome.
