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.

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

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.
