Which upcoming figures/vehicles have you most excited?
« on: May 02, 2010, 11:19:59 PM »

Now that we've all seen the figs and vehicles that we have to look forward to in the next year (and if you haven't seen them, go to yojoe.com and check out the JoeCon pics) which ones are you guys most looking forward to? 

For me, figure-wise I can't WAIT for Low-Light (he looks just about perfect!) the Cobra Shock Trooper (I'm gonna army-build the HELL out of those!) the Jungle-Viper, and Shadow Tracker and the 2011 Snake Eyes (I absolutely LOVE the fact that they included both his v1 and v2 heads with that figure, so you can have the best of both worlds).  Oh yeah, and Predator-style Billy Spirit.  As for the vehicles, I really want the new HISS and the new VAMP. 

As for stuff I'm not that excited about...20 more versions of Storm Shadow, I like the Mechs but I don't like the fact that there's crappy-looking repaints of them already in the works, and Solid Snake Duke confuses me Joe-wise.  But I'm sure as hell gonna make a Solid Snake custom out of him!

I can't wait to see your custom!

I preordered the first wave so I will make judgement when I have them in my hands.

The only two figures that jumped out at me was Low-Light and the Cobra Shock Trooper.  Those are must haves.  The rest can wait.

Low-Light. It's nice to see a fresh look for Duke.

Looks like no new product until the fall though.

I used to be excited about Shadow Tracker, but now that it's apparent he's not just based on the Predator but a blatant ripoff of it (with Jungle Duke as Dutch, Recondo as Blaine and Spirit as Billy), I'm a lot less enthusiastic about it. Quite excited about the aforementionned Joes, though, but they won't be spending much time together. :p

Shirted, Shoed And Gunned Quick Kick, I'm excited about, though.
Also the new Storm Shadows both look great.

Destro is a bad Destro, but with a new head he'll make a great SAW-Viper.

Not sure on the new GHOST HAWK.  It looks like if the canopy is all covered (Amoured?) Plus I miss the Engine turents the move.  The new HISS tank is also one that needs to grow on me has well.  Trying to picture that as the new HATE?

Its always easier with links:

Figs:

Vehicles:

By the way, in the Hasbro tour (http://photos.yojoe.com/showgallery.php?cat=695), we can see a picture of a regular black HISS http://photos.yojoe.com/showphoto.php?photo=4814&cat=695... do you know why? Are we getting another HISS... again?

As others have said, Low Light, Cobra Shock Trooper and Jungle Viper are must haves.  I also like the 2011 Snake Eyes. 

In regards to the the vehicles, the "new" Ghost Hawk is growing on me and I love the new colours for the new HISS.  I also like the new colours on the Scout HISS.  I don't like the new VAMP at all and I was disappointed that there were no vehicles shown (even just art) for the RENEGADES show.  I like the notion that we will get classic vehicles that will be updated, but retain a lot of their original concept.

What everyone else said. Low Light, Snake Eyes and Cobra Shock Trooper.

Anyone else look at that Shock Trooper and think of Call of Duty, Modern Warfarwe 2?

If I can get them in the $5-$7 range, as I've done with the RoC figs, there aren't a lot of the figures I'd say no to. I want to get Dusty and Beachhead for sure, and a couple Alley Vipers.
