Maybe they will do something cool with it? (i.e. make the whole guy translucent with paint on the face, suspenders, etc)

In any case, this set is starting to look really cool. However, doesn't each set have 3 Joes to fight the bad guys? Is this year different?

I was wondering that too. There should be three joes. They will be Duke, Shipwreck and Sgt. Slaughter. No idea if they will follow a similar paint scheme or not. The Shipwreck will feature the V1 head and come with polly.

Raptor: never wrong about these things.

If the new Duke is a decent repaint of the '92 version, I may have to put some serious thought into getting this set....

The Joe figures will be in a two or three pack.  So you don't need to get the 15 figure set.

The face looks like the mold could be the Wilb Boar:

Now that head wouldn't fit on a version one Snake Eyes body, so I could be wrong. It just looks like that to me.

Posting number 666.  :evil:

The only way I can accept a Snake Eyes v1 body if the figure has swivel arms.  But I think the character will have some obsure part like what Charles and Dave have mentioned.  I can't see a straight repaint here.  But if it happens, I will be ticked.  

And I don't want Duke in this set.  The focal point of the Joes is Slaughter and Duke is higher up in the rankings.  I don't need some mythos to tell me this.  Now to bring back Shipwreck V1 would be sweet.

Judging from the artwork, it looks like the body will be a direct copy of 97/Comic Pack Snake-Eyes, right down to the bad Roadblock waist... None of the other characters' artwork differ from their actual figures, so unless MC is pulling our chains and posting false artwork to surprise us, we'll get a Snake-Eyes repaint...

Like pete, i'll be pretty pissed if it's a straight repaint but i don't think Master Collector is that stoopid. I mean, they're pretty stoopid at times but that would be a BAD move for the hobby.

At the very least, reissuing this might drive down the demand for an original and those of us who have to have the real thing might be able to snag one for a touch cheaper. ;)

Pete, the straight arm molds for long sleeve 82 joes have been gone for 20 years. I remember reading somewhere that they were destroyed  There's no way that a straight armed figure would ever happen.

I believe that the rogue part will be an action marine waist. Say what you want about master collector, but they don't make crap quality "broken out of package" figures like TRU or even DTC do.. Comic pack snakeyes is busted because of the use of the incompatable RB waist. I can't see brian putting up with that.

I just tested the Action Marine's waist with CP21 Snake-Eyes's body, and it's not much better. While the torso/waist fit is better, the legs just aren't compatible and it'll cause a "lean to one side" effect similar to post-97 Duke and Alley-Viper figures.

Still, I'm disappointed in the choice of body... I would've liked to see Mortal use later parts, like something post-84. All the other figures in the set have a good amount of bulk to them, and then Mortal is using scrawny 82-83 body parts... he'll stick out like a sore thumb...  :|
