Definitely the best Commando Snake Eyes figure I've seen, although I'd have preferred the v2 design -- Hasbro said they were doing the definitive versions and v2 has to be more iconic. I wouldn't put it past Hasbro to put v2 in the 25 as well, and while I'd LOVE to see that design in this style, I hope he's not in it purely for the sake of the character we'd lose as a result.

Sonn, you're so right that they should've done this sooner. Oh, to be able to go back to 2002...

I hope the figures are packaged in troop builder-friendly packs.

Oh, what the remaining 15 might be...! Pleasepleaseplease let there be a Crimson Guard, and a Viper & BAT if they are going up to '86...!

Who do you guys think will be the final 15 Joes and Cobras revealed? We have 10 confirmed figures, and based on comic appearances, cartoon appearances, and general demand, these are the remaining figures I think will appear:

Duke Confirmed
Scarlett Confirmed
Snake Eyes Confirmed
Stalker
Gung Ho Confirmed
Hawk
Spirit
Flint
Lady Jaye
Shipwreck
Roadblock Confirmed
Cobra Commander Confirmed
Destro Confirmed
Baroness Confirmed
Storm Shadow Confirmed
Major Bludd
Zartan
Tomax
Xamot
Firefly
Mindbender
Crimson Guard
Viper
Cobra Officer
Cobra Trooper Confirmed

Someone on the JBL gave a cool idea. Make the 25th figure a mailaway. That's right, bring back the Flagg points (or Thunderwing pts or ROCC points) and make us spend $3 to get the last figure. :D

Not to be negative or anything, but the 'smart' guys over on the JBL think that Hasbro might sit on the last 15 so see how these 1st 10 go over. Most of us think they'll play it very conservatively w/ how the 25th line goes.

lol. Since these are based on the originals... Gung Ho originally came w/ a huge backpack and a grenade launcher.

Nice!!! V2 may be more iconic, but I was hoping they'd do the V1 Snake Eyes as I always preferred Snake Eyes as a commando over ninja.

Looks cool, but I already got a lot of troopers from the infantry 6 pack. May still pick up a few. I think an AK-47 would have been a better weapon than a sniper rifle for a trooper, even if that is what the original came with.

mmm, there should be a hawk, no doubt in my mind that there will be flint and lady jaye. as i said i really, really hope there is a shipwreck. major bludd and zartan are very, very likely to be there. i think there will be a stalker and maybe, just maybe spirit, but i really wish it would be someone else, like maybe quick kick and dusty or boozka. i'm not so sure about tomax and xamot. they were really liked, by me and my friends anyway. and were a big part of the cartoons, but were not really in many comics. hopefully firefly will be. not so sure about mind binder since he wasn't until the second season of G.I. Joe the cartoons and it looks like their going with the ones from the first season. i'm sure everyone hopes theres a crimson guard and a viper. i dont want a cobra officer since we have a trooper. honestly i wouldnt mind the old dreadnoks or sgt slaughter. even a serpentor would be great since we've only had one version of him, but the latter few are very very unlikely.

Send me your email address, and I will send you photos of them all.

I was thinking about this today. I noticed that the first ten we've seen are, for the most part, from 1982-1984. We've heard they'll all likely be from 82-86, so I'm guessing maybe the next ten will be mostly from 1985, and the final five will be from 1986.

If the second batch of ten is also five Joes and five Cobras, this is my prediction:

Joes: Flint, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck, Snake-Eyes v2, and one other (for some reason I'm thinking maybe Dusty)

Cobras: Firefly, Scrap-Iron, Zartan, Major Bludd (inexplicably left out of the first wave), and either: Cobra Officer, Crimson Guard, or Hooded Cobra Commander (unless, as I hope, the already-revealed CC will have swappable heads).

Then, for the final five, I'm thinking a mix of Joes and Cobras from 1986:

Hawk, Beachhead, Dr. Mindbender, Serpentor, and either a Viper or a B.A.T. Or Sgt. Slaughter, if Hasbro wants to pay the licensing fees.

Also, another option for a hooded Cobra Commander would be an exclusive of some sort. Personally, and I'm sure this won't be popular here, I'd love to see him as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive, since I'm going to be there this summer!
