SKYSTRIKER! SKYSTRIKER! SKYSTRIKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STARSCREAM VERSION! STARSCREAM VERSION!! STARSCREAM VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
OK, I've calmed down now.
First off, thank you Hasbro!! Second, glad to hear they are doing something big for the 30th anniversary (not meaning a big playset BTW, just saying they seem to be going that extra step).
So, let's start with the vehicles.
1) I think we all know my feelings about the Skystriker. Now the pain in the butt is going to be the SDCC exclusive (x2!!!!)
2) The black dragon VTOL looks OUTSTANDING!!!!! It will be smaller than I would like based on the pic w/figure, but it is still a beautiful looking vehicle. I wonder who the figure is supposed to be, and why a pic of the VAMP driver, but not the VAMP?
3) Crimson HISS and VAMP. These were confirmed during the Hasbro panel. I am going to assume a repaint of the new HISS and VAMP. Will get a Crimson just because, but I didn't pick up the new VAMP, so I probably won't get the repaint unless it really moves me.
Now the figures:
FIRST!!! THERE IS A PIC SHOWING A ZARANA FIGURE AND A BLACK REPAINT (apparently related to COLD SLITHER somehow). The belief is that it will be a SDCC exclusive like SGT. SLAUGHTER (2 versions of a figure).
Now the figures: I generally order cases through Hal, so I will most likely be getting all these figures just because of that, but some will probably find a quick exit through trades/sales.
Blowtorch: Ugh, a simple re-release with a few minor paint changes and some extra accessories.
General Hawk: As someone else said, this should have been a troop builder modern Greenshirt. Nothing about the figure scream General Hawk. If it had been a Greenshirt then I would be more impressed. I probably will just use him as a modern Greenshirt.
Steel Brigade: What happend? They could have easily done this figure with a more ARAH accurate look. They already have all the body parts so why not reuse the Airborne mold and go from there? Still an ok figure, but another disappointment like Hawk and Blowtorch.
CC: Really Hasbro? I mean really? C'mon, this is by far the worst of this wave. Another CC we don't need, with nothing to really distinguish him from most earlier versions. He'll be out the door quick from my case. The only thing I like about this figure is the colour. I like the near purple blue they used.
Jungle Bat: I didn't like the prototype that was on Ebay, but this one looks a bit better. I actually have warmed up to it now and will be happy to get it. I like the green head, but don't know why the battle damaged one is black? The camo reminds me of Stalker, a good thing, and there is never a bad use of a BFG!!
Cobra Trooper: Ok, we have had a lot of great versions of this character since the 25th line started, but I have to say this one looks incredible!!! The paint probably won't be as nice on the final product, but this figure looks great and as close to perfect for an update of thise figure.
Crazy Legs: Outside of the helmet, this figure looks as close to the original as possible with an update. Great use of parts and a great looking figure for a character I wasn't that enamored with as a kid.
Rock Viper: As someone else said, a solid figure, but not sure what Hasbro was trying for here. Doesn't scream COBRA to me just by looking at it, and could just as easily be a Joe. Not a bad overall figure from the looks of it, but not a "hit" by Hasbro.
SE: Ok, much like CC. Why Hasbro? Just to get another SE in a wave? Really, just reusing an earlier SS for the most part and painting him black? Just no for this figure.
Croc Master: AGAIN? The same figure, but in yellow, with a few more accessories? Really? Ugh.
Iron Grenedier: FINALLY!!!! This bad boy is the start of a trend I would like to see with MARS troops. Not only is Destro sporting the Bad Motha....Shut yo mouth!!! armour but so are his troops. I love the idea of a weapons manufacturer sporting bulky type armour and armament. Also, once again points added on for a BFG!!!
VIPER: Not a bad version of the figure, but nothing screaming at me to really want to get it again. I will, but it is sort of ho-hum to me. Although the Resolute Firefly missile laucncher is awesome!!
Hazard Viper: Well I guess this repaint isn't going to be Blowtorch. The figure is a bit....orange. However it is a good reuse of the mold and a very nice adaptation of the outfit for other use. I like it.
Techno Viper: Who cares? KIDDING!!!! What a great and faithful update. Everything looks great about this figure and he won't be long on the shelves!!! Just please, please, please Hasbro. Do like you did with wave 3 and 4 and make him at least 3 per case!!!
Once again I also want to give props to Hasbro for the truly great amount of accessories you are throwing are way with each figure. It is much appreciated and loved!!!
-
Man just when I thought Id be winding down with my Joe collecting I see all this win. The only figure I'm a little disapointed in (that isnt a repaint) is the Rock Viper, he NEEDS his classic helmet. But man I will be spending a lot of money... And that SDCC Skystriker/Starscream CC/Megatron is sooooooo wicked, Im glad Im going to SDCC this year!
-
Posted the Pics of the vehicles for the people with out GI JOECLUB.COM memberships.
-
thanks timbit for you!
-
Pretty meh for me. It actually mostly looks really nice, but I'm very selective these days. Likely for me just the technoviper, crazy legs, cobra trooper, and maybe steel brigade. Maybe, but not likely hawk (who feels more like a duke figure to me).
Blowtorch and croc master are a complete waste. I have these already, and was expecting some kind of modernized PoC version of these characters. Not direct repaints.
I guess we won't see the 30th anniversary stuff til joe con or sdcc. That I'll probably be more interested in.
Oh and that starcream skystriker w/ CC and megatron is very cool. Probably a pass for me, but still a VERY cool idea and out of nowhere. This and the surprise announcement of the final INDY wave coming are probably to two most exciting announcements of toy fair so far, just due to the shear surprise of them. Can't wait to finish my indy collection! Lots of cool SW vintage style stuff too. :)
Oh and thank you for posting photos!
Edit: saw pics of sci-fi and stormshadow from the 30th line on theterrordrome.com. Very nice. Also some additional renegades figures (seem to look like resolute figures to me). All very nice. And a green VAMP, so i will now pass on the VAMP and wait for the green one. Vehicles always look better in green than in tan. :)
If sci-fi is an indication, man the 30th line is gonna be awsome!
-
I was rushing to post the Pics that I did not really have time to look at them. Over All I would like say "THANK YOU HASBRO FOR GIVING WHAT THE COLLECTORS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR!" Really Hasbro has actually read all the posts on the GI Joe fan sites.
I'm not familar with some of these figures so I will talk about the ones I do know. The SE fig, that mask it comes with, is that "Dice" or "Slash"? Did they change there mind at the last minute and make it a SE?
Cobra Commander, yes another one, but it is MUCH BETTER! Come on did we forget the RoC version? I will take this version hands down!
I like the rest so much that I'm thankful I buy these by the case!
-
When is that new Storm Shadow coming out?
I'll buy one to keep carded, one loose, one for the office, one to keep in my pocket and and and..... must breath!!
-
1 - Don't feel bad about missing 25th Blowtorch now!
2 - Wasn't at all what I was expecting for Hawk.
I like what I see though.
-
Oh, and as posted at Terrordrome: Stalker!!!!!!!

This is just so much Joe news in one day for us to take! I know my wallet has already locked itself in the drawer and threw away the key. I'm so thankful that Hal will ship to my work for me.
-
wow these look great. i was surprised by the renegades figures as i didn't think i would like them, they look amazing so far.
-
Saw Zarana on Hisstank, prob the one of the best female sculpts in the modern line.
-
I will be acquiring a Crazylegs.
-
Is it me or is the Croc Master just a repaint of the RoC Tera Viper that came with the Mole Pod?
-

Don't know about that, but croc master is a repaint of... croc master. He and blowtorch are a complete waste of space in the new line-up. Unless of course you missed either one of them in the 25th line.
I was expecting a PoC version of each of these when I saw the list. I am a fan of croc master so it would have been cool to see what they would have done with him. But instead it's an easy skip for me. :)
-
Is it me or is the Croc Master just a repaint of the RoC Tera Viper that came with the Mole Pod?
PoC Croc Master is a repaint of the Terra Viper who was a repaint of 25th Croc Master, so you're technically right... ;D
OB
-
lol, I sat by and watched the 25th aniversary stuff come and go from the pegs. I was collecting other things ::) at the time... I would look at them all the time and I knew if I started on them that I could not just buy a few here and there, i would have to get them all. I do have a few now, and my son has alot of them open. I will likely be buying all of the POC. even the renegades ones!

That is Great news... Now I will army build the Croc Master and paint him to look like the Tera Viper! Now what do I do with the extra Blowtorches?
-
I love what I see. I don't know where I'm going to get the money to buy most of these figures and vehicles.
-
I like what I see, but Blowtorch and Croc Master? Really? Anyone having a hard time finishing their 25th sculpts surely aren't missing those guys are they? Why not Alpine or some character that's never been an easy-to-find character? OK well maybe we've never stumbled over extra 25th Blowtorch figures, he's been quite easy to come by if you're patient. I am happy though, just a little frustrated at the two minor repaints filling in the line where I see opportunity to entice collectors a little better.
-
I'm honestly not impressed with a lot of these figures and will by pass most of them. The only Renegades figure I like is Duke. But I'm glad they are making them for kids. I love the Zarana figures but hate the fact that they are SDCC exclusives(another SGT. Slaughter fiasco to come).
The best thing they revealed was the Skystriker and variant Starscream Skystriker(SDCC though).
-
Ed is right.
Starscream + SDCC + TF Fans = nightmare for Joe collectors. 10 bucks says this will be under produced, which will make this very expensive to get.
Sci Fi looks sweet.
I have no interest in the Renegade figures.

It will be an interesting Monday that day! The day HTS.COM sells the exclusives to the rest of us. There will be limits so hopefully some of us will get lucky!

Duke will be a good base to make some PMCs

If they sell out, there won't be any available for HTS to sell.

Even with Slaughtergate there were tons of them at the Fan EXPO in Toronto. I know I will be going to the that show If I fail to get them on HTS.COM.

Yeah Fan Expo had tons of the SDCC exclusives. I went on Sunday and snagged multiples of Slaughter. The only thing sold out on Sunday was the Galactus fig. I hope the same happens this year.

WTF - July?

What happened to April?!? >:(
The April date came from online retailers posting pre-orders. Those are never a 100% guarantee. So Wave 5 (aka Wave 3 2011) is May, Wave 6 (Wave 4 2011) is July and Wave 7 (Wave 5 2011) is August. Besides retailers need to be able to sell the existing product down and Waves 3 (Wave 1 2011) and Wave 4 (Wave 2 2011) are still starting to show up at retail. So instead of jamming up the pegs with more stuff and never getting to the later waves, this is a good thing. We just need some patience, no matter how hard that may bed. ;D

Yes, yes. Logic prevails over my clear frustration - which stems from the fact that Crazylegs is the only fig I plan on grabbing from what was shown at the Con. Most of my toy budget is being allocated towards Transformers: Generations and Masterpiece Rodimus Prime.
-
Wow, nice figures.. a lot of repaints though..
I'll buy every Trooper, Viper and Techno-Viper that I see.. ;D

Starscream Skystriker = a crossover between Joe and TF for 2012 in the works??? That could lead to a great cartoon or movie..
We already have a TF Snowcat..so why not!

Sci-fi's alternate helm looks kinda like an ODST or Spartan helm, neat!

I didn't notice it being a snake eyes repaint. Stalker is my second fave joe character next to snake eyes, so I like this one. Though it's interesting they went with the resolute look for the head. I wonder if a head swap would work on him. I have an extra cartoon pack stalker that might look good. Although this head looks alright for a re-imagining.
-
I wish they would stop issuing that sniper rifle with the Cobra Troopers. I want to see AK-47's !!!!
-
Is it working now?
Yes but they are too big... :P
That Stalker looks the same as the Resolute version, right?
SS looks amazing, this will be the first SS that I keep as SS instead of saying Desert or Snow Ninjas.
SciFi looks great, I love the extra head!

Stalker's head is the same as Resolute. The only customizing I might do their is cutting the dreads off.
-

Is that a head swap or a removable helmet? The best part of the '91 Sci-Fi was the removable helmet. At long last, you could see his face!

Yes but they are too big... :P
You just have to buy a bigger screen.. :P

You are right! I had to dig up the review that olyeller did for the pic. My Stalker is barried in a bin right now.

From the picture it looks like one of stalker's knives might clip onto the bottom of his gun.
I like all three figures. Just hope we can find them at retail in Canada.
-
Maybe by the summer TRU will get on the boat? With the TV show tie-in I think they'll start selling Joes again.
Oh and I love that Sci Fi! I still remember getting my original at TRU in 1987 when my uncle took me one day. He made fun of me for liking it since it was so non-Army looking and he was career military. It hadn't even crossed my mind that Joes were unrealistic up to that point.
-

I hope so, having 3 stores to look for Joes will increase our chances at getting items we want!
-
I've been playing it safe and ordering each wave from the states, only a dollar or two more per figure in the end and I get the filecard to cut out. The ones I find in Canada are just gravy. Still trying to get the vehicles up here though, those are simply too dear to import after shipping and risking duty. I'm still holding my breath for Vamps and Rages to hit shelves in my city.

That's exactly what I was doing with the 25th anniversary..but I stopped doin' that with RoC and PoC!
-
I don't blame you not for ROC, but these POC figures are such a step up from the movie toys that it's worth it just to make sure I don't miss one. On the other hand, I have seen every POC carded guy on a peg at least once between various WM and Zellers. Maybe I just feel like if I don't just once, I won't get the figure. It did take me about nine months after release to find City Strike SE in Canada but even he showed up.

US packaging is way better too.. no french nor Spanish! I hate paper filecards also..
-
Even though TRU don't sell GIJoe anymore, I'm glad the other stores are keeping up with the States with the waves.
Let's hope it continues this way except that if TRU wants to be back in the game, they're more than welcome :)
-
I wonder if ROC really hurt TRU Canada so badly they just got scared of Joes? They certainly had a rough time moving the quantities they ordered around here, aside from the good figures of course.
