I like the figs in this set. I just dunno if I like 'em enough to drop $400 on 'em. I will gladly buy everyone's unwanted Toxo Vipers and Toxo Zombies though.

I will keep you in mind as I'm debating on going to Dallas myself.  The hotel is already booked up unless you want to drop $270 per night, so not sure now.

.not bad, so far the best of the bunch. Colors are ok. Helmet looks great. If this was available at retail I would consider buying it,  but its weapons come off a little uninspiring.

I have a mixed reaction with the set.  A ninja in a zombie set?  As such, I will reserve my judgement until all the figures have been revealed.

Toxo Viper is nice but I strongly suspect the biggest hits of this set will be the souvenirs. I suspect we'll see some of those Zombie Cobra figures Zombie Cobra Commander as souvenirs.

Toxo Viper himself has a nice head sculpt and I'd love to see under the helmet. It displays well but I'm having a hard time getting past the fact that I already recognize the body. Here's the problem with the 25th anniversary stuff. They used a lot of the same body parts and dressed them up with accessories over the base bodies. Now it's getting to the point that they've been reused to many times. Not the GIJCC's fault. This is where ARAH figures offered more selection.

Anyhow, I do like Toxo Viper but not enough to want to buy a box set. I give him a B+.

Clean-Sweep and Ozone are must haves for me.  Nice updates.

I'm a huge Outback fan, but this version (http://www.gijoecon.com/tx2014/con14outback.cfm) looks weird...

Well all the figures are up now and honestly this year is an easy pass for me. I'd rather put the $370 towards my mortgage or buy some of the stuff they have on sale at the club right now for 50% - 90% off right now.

The 50th anniversary toys coming this fall have me more excited.

There is always next year.

nothing about this set excited me from the start, even as an ARAH fan I've been interested in Night Force, Oktober Guard and the Heroic Commandos stuff. I'd sooner they'd done Tiger Force, a 50th set like OB's stuff or hell, even Sky Patrol. Or a set from Commandos Em Acao, the Brazilian exclusives.
