So many of the characters look alike these days...Alley Viper, Beach-Head and Firefly...until they gave Firefly some crazy mask.

Yeah, they dumped the actor likenesses. Aryan hunk Duke is back, no more goateed emo Duke.

Cobra Commander will not be a mail-in but a chase figure. That means if I find one I can sell it for more than I paid! Thanks for making everyday euthsiasts into scalpers, Hasbro!


I might pick up that AWE if it's $15. The Sky Hawk is fugly, I might have gotten a straight recolor of the 25th one I missed. The polar attack track and doom cycle don't do much for me. If only they worked in the Stinger.

The larger vehicles look okay, but the HISS driver looks like a mess of thrown together parts and gear, though.

The Mechs hold little appeal to me.

The figures back in 2001 look good, very modern, possibly like they're from the year 2010. Hmmm, there's a link there, Dr. Dorman, but I don't see it. Would you like me to sing a song? Daisy...Daisy....

There isn't anything there to tempt me other than the Vamp 4x4 vehicle. The Sky Hawk repaint is a joke, the hew Hiss is a piece of sci fi fluff, and the AWE Striker/Snow Cat/Rage repaints are lazy. The Mechs? I don't think so...

Not GI JOE, but Iron Man has a ROCC-like mobile base.

IRON VAN (http://toyfair2010.figures.com/showphoto.php/photo/105)

At first I thought it reused parts, but it seems to be all new.

Both the POC and resolute 7 pack figs look terrific

i do think the heads on the resolute Scarlett and Baroness looks odd but there still time for Hasbro to fix them

[Otto the Otter]

Wow.
When can we expect to see these guys on store shelves?
I'll definately be getting the Cobra five pack, the Destro and Baroness are awesome and Zartan is one of his best sculpts.
I really like the new packaging, but it looks like we're still stuck with the half-assed file cards.
I'm glad to see Duke isn't stuck with Channing Tatums's goofy looking head.
I'll be picking up a couple of those new HISSes and a VAMP as well.
Can never go wrong with some great looking new Fireflys, I'm not too sure about his head, but that can be easily changed if I don't like them.

[Scarrviper]

Most of this stuff looks rather "bleh" to me, even the vamp.

I'm really looking forward to the new Star Wars Vintage Collection, the ESB figures they showed look amazing!

[vader9900]

Me too Kurt, did you see the rocket firing Fett?

Yeah, I never did realize just how much people really wanted him. Depending on how many figures I pick up I might send for him. I can't wait for August, those new figures just look so sweet!

[ThinkTank]

Finally, the super articulated new Dengarr. Now, my SA Bounty Hunters will be complete. "And no disintegrations"

[Flatline]

Looks like a ton of cool stuff is hitting the shelves!!! There is alot of cool Joe stuff out there (IMO) That Iron man Van has potential and the New Star Wars Figs are sure to leave me broke next year.

[Sonneilon]

I've been hit yojoe.com's site for the stuff. I've told others, the stuff now just doesn't excite me as much as it did a few years ago. With that in mind, I want both Zartans, a bunch of those Jungle Vipers, the new Dusty, ResoScar, ResoBlock... ResoStalker is iffy. Like, I'll get both Reso packs and most likely sell a lot of it off.

The vehicles are a skip right off the bat. That VAMP mk28 (note sarcasm) looks like crap, I could care less about a Snow Cat re-re-re-re-release, the cycle is plain pathetic and well... The HISS is... Not sure yet. Depends on what color it ends up as.

But as I'm sure we all noticed, Shadow Tracker seems to be missing.

In terms of Marvel, Black Widow caught my eye and that's about it. ANd that's assuming that her suit doesn't become BLUE like Punishers and Black Spidey.













(btw, shouldn't it be ToyFair2010, not 2001???)

There is so much to say, I loved artic Destro until they added that red, talk about turning Wow into "meh"

Really of the single packs BH, Jungle Viepr and a couple of others are teh only ones that interst me at this point.

The fehicles even less so, I do like the hiss but that is all pretty much, might get the bike on the basis that it is original at least. The mechs are horrid, especially right after the Avatar one. The joe ones look like preschool toys in comparison.

Unlike many I am not wowed by the resolute packs, Destro is really the only one that grabs my attention. I may actually buy the set for him and sell off the rest. Oh and of course lets reuse figs already in wide release multiple times (SE and CC) to get the most of people.

I thought Shadow Tracker was in wave 4 thus explaining his absence (he isn't in these waves).

It amazes me how CC goes from cool to eh by changing him from mail away freebee to chase figure. Then again I burned out on chase figs with marvel legends.

Star Wars and MU really impressed me this year, so its probably good that I am underwhelmed by the constant reissues and rehashes of GI Joe.
