Now they've posted the Mainframe and the Python Patrol Televiper.  Televiper doesn't have the better legs that were on the unproduced version, has the regular viper legs like the 25th televiper.  And the Mainframe means those of us hoping for accurate representations will be disappointed.  He's green instead of red.

I guess they are going to use the "Mission Brazil II" as some sort of second mission/sequel.  That will probably explain the alternate colours for the Joes.

That makes sense, and disappoints me less.  Still disappointed though.  But I guess at least my customs aren't useless now.

Yeah I know what you mean.  I want the club to supplement the 25th line with stuff we won't get from Hasbro, like the 2009 international figs from the con.  It's nice to get more PP figs, but I feel the Joes so far are a miss.

My sentiments exactly.  The 2009 blades and the argentina guys gave me reason to think we might get an accurate update.

That looks like a straight-up re-paint of the Mainframe/Dataframe figure released in 2008.  I was hoping the for a better head and hands.

The Tele-Viper is what it is.  At least the Python Patrol 25th style will be complete.

With Dial-Tone, not sure which one is better the free one or the Con set version?

That's just it, isn't it. They have access to all the molds and they sky could be the limit. Instead of bringing some characters they keep going back to old sub teams. They should at least throw in one or two new guys. A new Python Patrol army builder in stead of 6 officers would have helped. How about Python Patrol Alley Viper? Or use the head from the Jungle Sniper Viper dude and make a P.P Night Ops guy. Heck, P.P. Hiss driver. This stuff is easy to think up. They need to get creative a bit.

The Joes could use a whole new character in the M.B. 2 set as well. They have the molds, just make a new head and kit bash something.

Now I want a P.P. Alley Viper.  :(

Last year they had an Adventure Team set in 3 3/4 scale. I don't see that this year...

They have to do something to go with their submarine: http://www.gijoeclub.com/AT11sea.cfm
