So some early sightings, with pics, are popping up online for the new ReAction + figures (O-Ring).
The first wave was found at a couple Target stores in the US. Have to say I am not quite as enthused as I was when this was announced. Mostly because it looks like they won't be touching the original figures, but instead sticking to comic/animation based looks or versions that were never done before.
So while that will be great for characters that have never had a figure before, it also means we likely won't get updates to original figures that Hasbro won't touch with their Transformer x GI Joe line.
Oh and the price was confirmed to be $20.49US (+tax) so I imagine if anywhere carries them up here it will be $25+
Overall I liked the comic "blue" BAT with the alternate head. I think it is great that both arms can exchange pieces for weapons or hands. However that version isn't one I will go out of my way to get. If they do a show accurate version like their Ultimates version then I am down for that.
Cover Girl with long blonde hair is great, and a smart alternate look. Definitely worth picking up, but they need to do another Wolverine to go with her.
Snake Eyes is not a look I am interested in picking up. I would have preferred animation accurate colours as the first option. This one blends too many different looks for my taste.
Cobra Commander looks good, but I am a bit burnt out on CC right now. Maybe in a couple months I'll be more inclined to consider him.
No sign of the twins yet.
