Shame they couldn't give that Storm Shadow darker skin and actually have a Ninja-Ku figure, even if they changed the name.

Well, we finally get to the first 25th figure I actually have an interest in getting; the BAT. The previous BAT figures have had proportions and articulation deviating madly already so this one can't really look out of place in an otherwise 25th-free collection. Plus, the chest-piece means it doesn't even get man- (robot-?)boobs!

Damn, I need to actually get moving on things like getting money and finding contacts -- there's the Target vehicles already (I'd love a HISS or two!) and now a figure, and still absolutely NO chance of Hasbro releasing them in the UK!

Now that they've finally released the 25th in Canada, I'm hoping to see some Canada exclusives like the old days, but judging from the less than spectacular packaging we are seeing up here, it doesn't look good, though we may see some of the TRU exclusives, hoping.....

I know just how you feel Stormer. Hasbro seems to have forgotten that Australia exists as well. :mad:

I posted before I read it. Kind of boring really, you don't get anything confirmed nor any juicy tidbits - guess they are keeping it under wraps pretty tight.

You guys are complaining???

I have to buy all my stuff off the net - more specifically Ebay to make sure it arrives without to much hassle.

The 25th line will probably never come here :mad:

Are you serious? Brendan Fraser as Gungho? I would never make that connection, he's not cajun enough.

Hey Silent Dusty, I did manage to find 5 figures in the TRU here surprisingly, but each of the figures were like 8.99 each. Are the Wal-Marts in Canada planning at all on selling the figures? It was my lucky day that day too, I totally expected to walk into TRU and see nothing like usual, but bamn there were 2 Crimson Guardsman, a Snowjob, Flash and Shipwreck.

I hope they have mixed the roles up

Brendan Fraser as Shipwreck. and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Gung Ho makes much more sense in my eyes/head/mind.
But thinking about it, they could probably pull it off.
But I regress - The Rock played a marine in Doom (well sort of) so I'm guessing he will be playing Gung Ho if he is at all, it is just a rumor.

Would be cool though.

Oh Shipwreck, yeah I can totally see that. Man he'd be an awesome Shipwreck, since Brenden Fraser is a rather comical guy. But a serious jarhead, just doesn't click. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I hope they mixed it up, but still if they are going to have Gung-Ho in it...why not ask Stone Cold Steve Austin to do it???? I'mean the guy is a walking image of Gung-ho. Just has to learn the "Cajun accent"

Also he played a marine in The Condemned, and was pretty bad ass in it???

But seriously I do really hope they mixed it up, as otherwise Gung-Ho will seem like from the Village people if Fraser is playing him...
