So what did everyone think of the GI Joe Day reveals?
By far the winner, for me, was the SNAKE Armour. That thing looks like a beast and a great update to the original. Can't wait to see how it works because so far the prevailing belief is that a figure can fit inside the torso in a seated position.
The AWE Striker looks okay, but not great. It does look like back roll cage where the third person can sit will be removable to make it look more like the original. The smaller front wheels are not great either. I get what they were going for here, but I just feel like they took it a bit too far in the modernization direction. Maybe they'll do a retro release more closely resembling the original down the line. Crankcase is a fine update, but again give me the more retro look as well.
MASS Breaker looks good, but again a little too modern for what he is supposed to represent (cartoon version).
Darklon is a winner in my books. I love the alternate mask and broad sword. The rest is classic Darklon which is fine.
Slice and Dice look good, but it is the accessories that take this set to the next level. Love all the options.
Ketchup and Mustard divers are probably my second favourite reveal. Not only are they connected to MASS but again the accessory load out is fantastic. I just wish they had given the Joe diver a DPV as well as the Cobra diver. DPV is Diver Propulsion Vehicle, the little torpedo looking thing that assists in movement.
Retro Covergirl is not as good as I thought from earlier leaks. She looks good, but doesn't really evoke the classic MASS Device blonde hair look, but rather a mix of that with more modern sensibilities. Not really a Retro design per se.
Tele-Viper looks great. Definitely a more cartoon accurate look, and I like the little word scroll on the visor. Although I would have prefered one less head and more accessories.
Flint is probaby the winner of the Retro reveals. While I was never the biggest Flint fan he does look great and much more in line with the Sunbow look.
