TF Duke: Can it really be. Those pathetic Duke arms that have been total fail for this line have been replaced? About freaking time. Still has a diaper crotch thought. :-
Wraith: As much as I like new character blood in the line, this figure doesn't cut it for me. He looks like a rejected VvV Bat mold.
So this even numbered wave is a win for me.

Mutt & Junkyard are the highlight of this wave for me as well.

I was also really looking froward to Wraith, but I'm not loving the execution. I'll wait for the clear repaint I guess. ;-)

I am confused, is Wave 10 shipping - and I have to agree I will have to go to Michaels and pick up a better croc!
Not yet. Wave 10 is due in September.

For some reason Croc Master seems to make a little more sense next to that bigger croc. How much did that cost you?
I can't remember exactly, I think around $4-5 (everything at Michaels is expensive). The wife was picking up a few decorations for her Mom's upcoming birthday bash and I remembered some guys over at Joecustoms recommended Michaels toy animal section. I'm planning to buy another one when we go back because I'm sure she has to return half the stuff she bought.
As for wave 10 - here's my two cents:
Cobra Bazooka Soldier: No interest. I'm not really old-skool who's into Cobra grass roots and blue shirts, I have one blue shirt from the 5-pack and that's more than enough.
Cobra Para Trooper: Way too busy but definite cool factor. Still wont get any, can't wait for the Ripcord repaint - hope it's before the movie release or we'll get Marlon Wayanes! >:(
Croc Master: With a new crocodile from Michaels he's a win!
Mutt & Junkyard: lots of goodness here. Glad Pete's getting his favourite character, I know the feeling when Bazooka was released.
TF Duke: Wish it was his v1 tan shirt then I could do the switch, my customizing skills probably can't paint match that tan
Wraith: No interest in this character what-so-ever, don't know what he is about. But I see a helluva lot of Iron Man customs from him.
