I like 'em all-man! Shippy-Zartan,LJ--except for Stalker's Blue eyes and dumb weapons


oh well-a small paintbrush and an order to Marauder John will fix him!

I'm most excited about Beachhead, Stalker, and Firefly. Despite Stalker being yellow, I think he's going to be a cool figure. I'm stoked to see Beachhead's backpack updated. It's of my favorites from the RAH line. The Red Ninja is cool and a decent repaint, I can see myself winding up with three to act out Silent Interlude. Shipwreck looks good, but I bit cartoony in that pose.
Lady Jaye and Trooper are must haves, and Buzzer eventually. It sucks only having 1 or 2 Dreds though unless they release one per wave.

Zartan...I'm hoping that Z's chest armor is removeable. He'd look better without it I think. Serpentor I may just pass on depending on how he looks in person.

I'm sure we'll see a 'Nok every wave-they might be saving them to keep such popular figs as a "draw" for each wave
:D

Here's hoping! The #1 figure I want now though is a Crimson Guard, and then of course the twins. I've got my fingers crossed that Hasbro shows us something at the Joecon, even if it's just a wave 4 roster!

I want A Crimson Guard too,-PA! :) And A Python Guard too! :p

I wouldn't mind a Python Guard. My thinking is that after a couple more "Troop" figures we'll see Tiger Force and Python Patrol 5 packs. Hasbro is way too predictable to not do that!

I can't wait! I was quite shocked to see Beachhead so 'early', Hasbro must know the demand is there. He's definitely an old friend I don't mind seeing again! I absolutely love the RAH stuff, and some of the GvC-DTC stuff was great too, but with the 25th it's kinda like collecting all over again, and real joy to see on shelves in there retro packaging. I'm sure that sounds nuts, but it's how I look at it. :)

That's not nuts-I feel the same way! While the 25ths aren't the most "playable"-they display beautifully and the Packageing makes me feel like I'm 8 years old again! :p

Sorry to spoil the party, but.......they look to have the same annoying defects as the stuff that is already out, so there's nothing there to get me excited. Same old characters squeezed for a few more dollars, too.... :(
