I agree Pete - those T-Crotch figure we got were just crap.
I bought all of them and hated doing so.
If Hasbro wanted to move away from the O-Ring they should have put some time into the figures back then.
I keep coming back to this thread just to look at the figures over and over again. If they do the packaging well, I would pick up 1 set to keep MOC and another to open.

Amazing what one day does.  :o

Some sites have hot-linked the pics. While I don't normally care when people do that, there's been a MAJOR increase in 'site' activitybecause of it... well.. them and the people that are nice enough to actually link to the site instead of 'hot-linking'.

For example:


Those that hotlinked - are getting 'different' pics right now.  :shifty:

Basically, use these as a reference:

Yeah I know..... ;-)

But I have nothing better to do today.

That's absolutely hilarious, Mike.  :lol:

Oh, I should probably say something about the figures... I like them, very cool. Not without their faults of course, but still very cool. I'll probably buy the 5 packs (any re-releases in singles, that's debatable). These would have been killer as a re-intro to G.I. Joe back in 2000/2002. I'd have loved them for that. I'm ambivalent to the idea of them as anniversary figures. Looking at them outside of that scope though, they're pretty freakin' cool.

Mastercollector has now posted all 10 pictures on their membership side of the site.  Will Hasbro follow suit?

It was suppose to be a figure a day for 10 days.  Maybe the leak will speed up the process of getting out the other 15 figures.

Mike, that's funny as hell.

Reminds me of when the SWCA would post pics of a BIG fat dude belly flopping off a diving board whenever someone hotlinked the site in an auction.

I think overall that these figures look pretty good but much like modern SW stuff, they just don't interest me too much. I'm pretty set in my vintage only ways. But, that said, few of these *might* make their way into my collection at some point. ;)

Any idea how these will be released?
Will it be a Joe 5 pack and a cobra five pack?

If they go with the 5 pack, it would make sence to release a Cobra and Joe pack. I hope not though.  Plus Hasbro would be shooting themselves in the foot with a army builder in a 5 pack.

Word is that they're going to do the first 10 in two 5 packs. After that, not sure.

Sweet Jesus in an Aerosol can, I must simply get them all.  This is the first time that I actually want to buy an entire Wave of a modern Hasbro series.  I hope that Legends carries them!

I'll get 2 Snake-Eyes, one to keep as Snakes, and the other to repaint into the F.E.A.R. Point Man.  He'll go well with my v2 Hawk as Paxton Fettel... at least once I finish the paintjob.
