Wave 5 Comic Packs
« on: February 05, 2008, 08:15:39 PM »
Posted at toynewsi.com, Wave 5 will consist of:

Destro & Iron Grenadier
Cobra Commander Vs. Tripwire
Lieutenant Falcon Vs. Nemesis Enforcer

Will Larry Hama do a mini-comic about Nemesis Enforcer?

My guess would be that Desto and Cobra Commander would be straight up repaints.
The others, I am guessing are repaints with new headscuplts.
Hasbro is getting great millage out of the unique repaints (Torch/Gung-ho), but I am getting Tired of the Cobra Commander mold - that left hand fist can only be displayed so many ways.

I am guessing that they will use the Duke/Flint mold for Falcon.  If they do a Duke/Flint repaint for Falcon I hope we get new hand sculpts as those hands are crappy for holding a weapon.

Cool Falcon and Tripwire have me psyched, don't need another CC or Destro...they should have CC with interchangeable hands at least.

Tripwire vs Cobra Commander?  That is the weirdest combo to date.

Nemesis Enforcer = I wish Hasbro left the Cobra La concept dead and buried.

Was Tripwire and CC ever in a comic together?

And Nemisis Enforcer never made it into the comics did he?

Maybe via and ad for the toys - but that would be it.

Cobra Commander... Tripwire? Maybe when CC was captured??

Not the Hama Marvel stuff.

He was in the latest TF crossover. Bleh.

I'll probably try to pick up the individual figures of Tripwire and Falcon on Ebay to avoid the repaints of Destro and CC
