I smell crazy army buildng for those Vipers! 
They look great.  Not sure another Snake Eyes would be my choice, but he is the staple of the line.
Like the Hiss Driver - perhaps I'll finally own one with a logo!  ;D

I realy love them!
I pre-order 2 case of 8 plus 17 more viper at BBTS.
I just hope i will find them in store before they have them!!!!
11.99$ / viper is not realy cheap but i cannot resist :o

A+ for Wild Bill.  He looks great with his 2 pistols.
Still waiting for Bludd pictures!

Wild Bill and Spirit are winners for me. SE doesn't look bad.

That Viper looks goofy.

I don't have words to describe Duke.  :-

I agree I don't like the viper, kinda weird helmet, looks like a CC with a bigger helmet

Honestly, first words out of my mouth were "Wow" and I was looking at the Snake eyes figure at the time. Yes he already has too many versions made but that figure looks really well done. They all look good. Funny thing it the Viper is the worst of the bunch. Even the Duke makes sense from a nostalgic point of view.

I also like the fact that Spirts gun looks like it has clips to go in it.

One of my favourite versions of Snakes for sure, but mostly because of the comic book story where he came to acquire the gear.

It's Duke from the opening of the movie! Wicked! This is a great looking wave, although I'm surprised to hear people aren't impressed by the Viper.

I never liked the 1986 Viper or any of its repaints.  This one looks to be great for parts, it's otherwise the same stupid Viper.

BUT it's awesome that they've dumped the goggles at least.

Your not the only one K.B.
Viper was always my favourite figure and when i restarted collecting Gijoe last year, my first wish was to see a 25th version of the viper.  i'm very happy with this version.  It's time now to spend a lot of $$$ on these.

I have to take back my comments about Spirit.  WTF is up with his head.  Dude looks like he needs some prozac or something.

WOW - Spirit suffers from a series case of lazy eyes and a square jaw.

It is nice to see that the Viper Goggles are not attached - however I am still not sure why he has them - would of maybe made sense if his helmet was removable or something.

The rest of the Figures look OK - Hiss Tank drive looks really nice, the same goes for Wild Bill.

Which issue was that?  For some reason I don't remember it and would like to refresh my memory.

I'm guessing, but I think it was a 3 issue arc from 94-96.  It was just after they gave Snakes a face job and they the 3 brothers messed it up again.

I wonder if Duke will come with a Canadian flag or if we'll even get this wave in Canada just because of the flag.

That would be the stupidest thing ever if they were to skip the entire wave simply because of the American flag....though sadly it's a legitimate possibility.

We got the Gung-Ho years ago with the US flag.

Count me among the folks who like the viper too.  Of course, the goggle are still a tad on the silly side ;)  I'll even go so far as to say I'm very fond of the Snake Eyes too; not just because of the excellent arc it came from but also because that was the Snake Eyes I had when I was a kid too.

Do we know when the actual release date is for this wave yet?
Looks pretty good otherwise, but I'm already getting sick of Snake Eyes, I wish this were the final one, but I'm sure there will be more.
 I've never really been a Spirit fan, mostly because I haven't read all the comics and somehow the Spirit vs Storm Shadow thing from the cartoon was all wrong to me.
 I think I actually like the Wild Bill figure the best.

It should be in the next month or so as one wave of this has already been sold on ebay via some seller in Asia.

Anyone else here think they botched Spirits face? He looks so board now...wonder why they changed the "angry" expression he originally had.
