Now that we've all seen the figs and vehicles that we have to look forward to in the next year (and if you haven't seen them, go to yojoe.com and check out the JoeCon pics) which ones are you guys most looking forward to?
For me, figure-wise I can't WAIT for Low-Light (he looks just about perfect!) the Cobra Shock Trooper (I'm gonna army-build the HELL out of those!) the Jungle-Viper, and Shadow Tracker and the 2011 Snake Eyes (I absolutely LOVE the fact that they included both his v1 and v2 heads with that figure, so you can have the best of both worlds). Oh yeah, and Predator-style Billy Spirit. As for the vehicles, I really want the new HISS and the new VAMP.
As for stuff I'm not that excited about...20 more versions of Storm Shadow, I like the Mechs but I don't like the fact that there's crappy-looking repaints of them already in the works, and Solid Snake Duke confuses me Joe-wise. But I'm sure as hell gonna make a Solid Snake custom out of him!

I can't wait to see your custom!
I preordered the first wave so I will make judgement when I have them in my hands.
-
The only two figures that jumped out at me was Low-Light and the Cobra Shock Trooper. Those are must haves. The rest can wait.
-
Low-Light. It's nice to see a fresh look for Duke.
Looks like no new product until the fall though.
-
I used to be excited about Shadow Tracker, but now that it's apparent he's not just based on the Predator but a blatant ripoff of it (with Jungle Duke as Dutch, Recondo as Blaine and Spirit as Billy), I'm a lot less enthusiastic about it. Quite excited about the aforementionned Joes, though, but they won't be spending much time together. :p
Shirted, Shoed And Gunned Quick Kick, I'm excited about, though.
Also the new Storm Shadows both look great.
Destro is a bad Destro, but with a new head he'll make a great SAW-Viper.
-
Not sure on the new GHOST HAWK. It looks like if the canopy is all covered (Amoured?) Plus I miss the Engine turents the move. The new HISS tank is also one that needs to grow on me has well. Trying to picture that as the new HATE?

Its always easier with links:

Vehicles:

By the way, in the Hasbro tour (http://photos.yojoe.com/showgallery.php?cat=695 (http://http://photos.yojoe.com/showgallery.php?cat=695)), we can see a picture of a regular black HISS http://photos.yojoe.com/showphoto.php?photo=4814&cat=695 (http://http://photos.yojoe.com/showphoto.php?photo=4814&cat=695)... do you know why? Are we getting another HISS... again?

As others have said, Low Light, Cobra Shock Trooper and Jungle Viper are must haves. I also like the 2011 Snake Eyes.
In regards to the the vehicles, the "new" Ghost Hawk is growing on me and I love the new colours for the new HISS. I also like the new colours on the Scout HISS. I don't like the new VAMP at all and I was disappointed that there were no vehicles shown (even just art) for the RENEGADES show. I like the notion that we will get classic vehicles that will be updated, but retain a lot of their original concept.
-
What everyone else said. Low Light, Snake Eyes and Cobra Shock Trooper.
Anyone else look at that Shock Trooper and think of Call of Duty, Modern Warfarwe 2?
-
2011 Snake Eyes and Ninja Gaiden Stormy!
2010 Jungle Duke looks cool too. Bandanna hero!
-
some of it looks pretty cool, looking forward to low light and the snowcat.
-
If I can get them in the $5-$7 range, as I've done with the RoC figs, there aren't a lot of the figures I'd say no to. I want to get Dusty and Beachhead for sure, and a couple Alley Vipers.
-
Same as everyone else, Jungle Viper, Low Light and Shock Viper. These will be hard to find for sure.
-
Can I add the up coming S.K.Omega figures to my list of what has me excited? ;D
-
I would be lying if I said I won't buy all of them that I can find.
I really don't mind the look of some of these figures however I am not digging Quick Kick and Storm Shadow.
Alpine looks like a great reinterpretation - sad that you have to buy a mech to get him.
The real question will be are these going to be carried by Canadian retail at a reasonable price.
-
Jungle Viper Jungle Viper Jungle Viper!
The dude with the motorcycle that turns into armour is super cool. Also, I want one of those giant Cobra mechas. My defense mech needs a goliath to do battle with.
I'm also gonna order a Resolute set.
-
I think the Predator homage looks awesome! I also like Lowlight for the perfect realism to the classic fig.
I'm actually impressed...for the first time since the vintage stuff. Not counting exclusives, of course!
-
I'm pretty much the same as everyone else figure wise, Low Light, Shock Trooper, Jungle Viper, vehicles, I actually do like the new VAMP, and the Cobra Ice Cutter.
-
MECHS look stellar! Me WANTS THEM ALL!!!
-
The mecha and the armoured cyclist remind me of battletech and robotech. Can't wait for that Low-Light figure.
-
I'm going to go against the grain, though, and say I'm looking forward to the 2010 Storm Shadow a lot more than the 2011 one. It just has much cooler accessories. A backpack with four swords, two more swords, a chain weapon with an actual chain, two claws AND some shuriken ninja stars.
The 2011 one is cool too. But the 2010 is just cooler.
-
Low light is going to sell like hot cakes same with the shock trooper. Maybe Hasbro will notice that 25th Ann. style and realistic style figures are more popular than movie and video game rip offs. Unless like Morg said it's based on a realistic video game like Modern Warfare.
I do like the new Beachhead and somewhat the new Firefly with alley viper mask.
the new vehicles I'm still on the fence.
-
Can I add the up coming S.K.Omega figures to my list of what has me excited? ;D
Sure you can! I'm with you on this one!!
-
Low-Light.
Shadow Tracker.
-
I know that with Low-light and those shock troopers I'll be putting together a SWAT team.
Not only will I get one of the cycle-riders, i have orders from two non-joe, but anime/robotech fans to get them for them as well.
-
For me, Low-Light, the Shock troopers and Snake eyes (commando head) is a must. I will probably get all figures but these ones are my favourite.

I wish. On the other hand, should save me money.
