Like Frank, I'm a 25th hater, but of the ones I have, the 5-pack Snake Eyes is the best of a bad lot. And he will remain as number 1, because I won't be buying any more of them! ;)

FROM WHAT I HAVE SO FAR HEIS THE BEST.

I, for the most part, agree with Self Mod. These two Snake Eyes that are available, they ARE the bomb. But with Craig's recent Snake Eyes picture (the nite force or whatever version with big goggles), suddenly that SE don't look so bad. Or maybe he still DOES suck, it's just that Craig made him look good. :|

I own 7 figures, but only 3 body molds! (Strange how that happened, but the singles are impossible to find here, and the five packs aren't that much easier. 25th stuff is being scalped ad naseum on Ebay.)

Favorite: Storm Shadow single carded, not happy about the tunic shoulders than limit some poses, but that was given from the photos.

Best looking: Hooded Cobra Commander, even with the stringy legs. Dark blue is Cobra Commander's best color. From mid torso joint up, this figure is great. :p

Most disappointing: Any of the troopers/officers, army builders are where articulation limits and stuff really start to show. Because as an army builder fan, I should be wanting to build armies of these guys, and as they are, I can't see any reason to. Wow! A Cobra vehicle trooper...who can't operate anything except maybe a motorcycle. :rolleyes: I don't like they helmets aren't painted on the inside. Or that they are all bald. Or that they are so tall compared to, oh, 25 years worth of other figures.

I only have a few of the 25th figures so far, but from what I've seen in pics, I'd have to say my favorites are Lady Jaye, Flint, Buzzer, Zartan, Red Ninja & Stalker!!! :D Now I just have to Find them in a store to put them to the test to see if my list stays the same!!! :)

its a toss up for me between firefly and the 5-pack snake eyes, not becuase of them persay, but bc they come with awesome stuff. thats the only reason I picked them up. I hate the figs, reason being they look so frickin cool sitting on my desk while I work, but they are terrible to actually play with. I only like these two because the gear they come with is awesome. thats one thing hasbro did right, the accessories are amazing and detailed, great to use on other figs and customs.

Your kidding right?
 

Is this thread meant to be a joke? Your kidding right? :o
No come on.. this is a wind up? :confused: :p

The Cobra Trooper/Officer is my favorite by far. Just a great figure made all the better by being an army builder.

So far, mine is the Air Trooper!

Out of what I own-Joe and Cobra 5-Packs,Wave 1 minus Cobra Officer Wave 2 minus Serpentor my favorites are Hooded Cobra Commander and Lady Jaye.

Hooded CC just looks MEAN........like he really is the most dangerous man alive!

Lady Jaye is a great sculpt,very feminine.She poses well and the paint colors chosen look very realistic. :cool:

Beachhead, but I gotta find the one with the fixed legs. 25th blows all that JvC and VvV crap outta the water. Looking forward to Destro v2 and the CG!

Ok I don't own any at the moment but the onesd I do like the best are...

Firefly ( C'mon, I'm a FF fan anyway)
Beach Head got my hands on him cause my buddy has him
Single Pack Stormy wave 1
Single pack wave 1 SE
Single pack Cobra Officers
Single pack version 1 CC.

I only have the two 5-packs, and of them I think Snake-Eyes is absolutely amazing. I've only seen the rest in pictures, but IMO Snow Job will be the hit when it appears.

Right now it is Beach-Head, but I haven't seen Firefly firsthand yet...

Oh, yes, I forgot about Beach-Head :rolleyes:

Question about Toys R Us exclusive 25th 5-packs
 

Hey guys a quick question about this......I have looked all over and I have yet to see when these packs are going to be available. The Snake-Eyes and Ninja pack and the Cobra pack. Will it be before Christmas or after the new year...the same with the Target exclusive vehicles. I haven't seen when they will be released.

Anyone who went to the con did they say when we would see these? All info would be appreciated.

If I underestood well, they are to be released next year. Checked BigBad ToyStore, and they show a released date of january.

I checked it out last night...those are the comic two packs, which I went ahead and pre-ordered, but I'm talking about the Toys R Us exclusive 5-packs....didn't see those on BBTS...are they on there?

spring '08 if memory serves me right

I think I saw the pics on BBTS too. I'm not overly excited or even interested in 'em. Sure, it's cool that Hasbro is reusing molds to offset costs but man... Those Troopers don't do anything for me. I actually find the ninja more interesting but have no use for 'em.

new 25th comic pack pics and movie news
 

just in case some havent saw them here are some new images of the latest comic packs. im hyped about these. maybe even snake eyes and stormy.







and in case some have missed the news. ray park will be playing snake eyes and Sienna Miller(whoever she is) will be playing the baroness.

Nice...........thank you for posting this up!! :cool:

i saw this earlier today and i am so glad that i preodered this set the crimson twins alone look so friggin awsome :D

I'm stoked about the Crimson Twin set! And the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are pretty cool too, although technically I think it's Zartan. I'm curious to see the Ace/Wild Weasle set that should be coming with these!

heres a question the trooper that comes with the guardsman is supposed to be scar-face but does anyone think that Hasbro sculpted hair on his head or is he going to share the same male pattern baldness as the rest of the troopers :D

It's possible he'll have a newsculpt head I guess. But if I didn't know better I'd swear that's a MaurauderInc AK-47. I think it's cool that the CG has the Fred head and I'd assume it's the same as the Cobra Commander from wave 6.

Aw, crap... I'm gonna have to buy these to get the new Larry Hama-penned comics...

They don't even have fixed crotches -- hopefully they will by the time the production models are out!

I think you are right on all counts.

Is the single pack CG also going to have a removeable helmet/extra head? I didn't think so. And if I was guessing, in this comic pack, an extra head would be a lot cheaper than tooling a removeable helmet, and give the same effect.

For custom purposes, this allows us to pop the helmet head on the CG (a usable figure) and use the "face" head on another character... And the officer gives you another troop builder...

Stupid Questions
 

Why is the CG coming with a M-1 Garand? Did they appear in the with them?

picture of the Ace and Wildweasel comic pack this pic officially made my day :D

Wow!!! I'm so glad I preordered these! This wave's gonna be hot!

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe Dunham's in the CG's neighborhood was having a "vintage rifle sale."

But with Stalker picking up an MP-44 out of a museum, I suppose anything can happen! (I like WWII weapons, but more with 1:6 scale correct era guys).

Oh and WWII should not be confused with Wii for those under 21. ;)
Just kidding! Nice thread.

no prob, i wasn't able to get a bigger pic but it looks like either Wildweasels goggles are semi-transparent or removable ,still looks cool though :D

25th Anniversary
 

When I get my 25th wave 1s I was not pleased as to how they were packaged. I felt the way Hasbro packed them caused excessive joint destruction. I would like to see a Mainframe, Dusty, Leatherneck, Major Bludd and the rest of the original 13 Joes. Even seeing Mangler's scowl would be appreciated. Not everyone loves the 25th. I am kind of so so on purchasing figures I already have and their kind of brittle. Yet my duty as a fan forces me to get them. Yet they give other fans a chance to collect their favorites that might have been hard for them to get. Would also like to see a 25th Falcon and Cobra eel. If they make a 25th Refrigerator Perry; I will definitely need a Prozac increase and more therapy. :cool:

Hi-Res pics of Wave 3 of the Comic 2-Packs
 

TNI has hi-res pics of Wave 3 of the Comic 2-Packs

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?m...ize=800&start=0

Looks like the Crimson Twins have "mirrors" like the original 2-Pack had :)

Someone goofed on the Ace/Wild Weasel pack...the issue #115 is "Counting Coup" not "Counting Coop".

I'm really anxious to get these! All four look great, even the Snakes/Storm one. The Twins are my favorite though! And the mirror packaging is such a cool idea! :D

Maybe the issue is about a new real estate scam?

LOL!
