Wow!!
 

Im soooooo excited!! Thanks for the great intel and pics!!

OH FOOK ME! I killed Alpine off in my Joeverse cuz I didn't think he was coming. CRAPENZOLA!!! I gotta have that pack. I LOVE the CLAW powered glider and even if Duke is catching flyz, that is so rad! Me wants. Me wants now!!!

Hungry anyone?
 

That comment about Duke catching flies roks!! I just love the fact that CC actually has that shiny chrome faceplate!! And that camera....going to look great in one of my Cobra PSA shots!!

Cobra Ninja Viper. *laughing*

Is that for real? Are you kidding me?

it looks like he is wearing scrubs! tacky!

Just for the record, Hasbro DID do this funky colored ninja during the Bastard Era days. Unfortunately, my memory stops there. I can't remember if that Aqua Ninja showed up in the Ninja Battles pack or came coupled in a 2-pack. Now, when will we see Black Dragon??? C'mon, laugh with me on this one. Ok, nevermind. I know, Hasbro's scraping the bottom of the barrel even tho the barrel next to it is FULL of unused characters!

I think the Aqua Ninja was a mail-away. I had a few. They go for some serious coin on eBay!

Ninja Medi-Viper he's a triple threat!

No way! I had one. I did a dio (that's long been deleted) where the aqua ninja and Black Dragon are sparring for Storm Shadow. Black Dragon kills aqua ninja in cold blood and... Aqua Ninja returns from the dead (in a red suited ninja) as Sonneilon or something like that. SOnneilon has taken a lot of forms, just like Starscream! lol

I remember this dio. Something mystical and supernatural.

New red HISS, Cobra Commander trouble bubble,
 

Just saw these at HISSTANK.COM. With all of this new stuff coming out, I dont think e-bay sellers is going to be getting much of my money any more!!

http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...ck-images-7659/

Thanks for this info.

I'm glad I made my own Short Fuze custom cuz it looks like the recipe everyone is using anyway! Not overly excited by that Steeler since I made a custom of him already. And the gray trooper, he'd be KINDA cool if they were easy to build but... Something about it just says, "Don't bother." The whole pack seems like it'd be a great X-Mas gift to find under the tree. But all I'd want out of that is the Greenstalker and the HISS Driver.

Vehicles
 

I just want the vehicles and the hiss driver. I really like the blue trouble bubble. But then again blue is my fav color.

I called TRU today to see if any new stuff was out. The worker told me no, HOWEVER she did tell me there is some stuff that they arent allowed to put out until Monday.... I asked if it were new stuff and she said m a y b e. I also saw in another forum someone found an AVAC and Sharc. Im having a feeling the new stuff is going to be avail very very soon!!

NEW STUFF FOR MONDAY>>>
 

:eek: Look at my above prior post since it didnt highlight in regular forums as new.

Small Joes has this vehicles listed as SOLD OUT as of Wednesday of last week. :p

[COLOR=Red]MAY BE OUR FIRST LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOVIE TOYS. HERE IT IS AT HISSTANK[/COLOR
http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...movie-toy-7725/

HERE IS A PIC OF THE 25TH THUNDER. IM HAPPY TO BE GETTING HIM AS HES THE ONLY JOE FROM GOOD OL KENTUCKY.
http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...armadillo-7727/

NIce cannons on the side! BUT how do the missile on top of the cannon shoot if there's a seam in the way? lol.

The figure looks great. I'm not against the Armadillo, just the crap vehicle that is often packaged with it! I'd love a mobile gun like that. While I like the FLAK, HAL, MMS and Whirlwind, this can represent the same thing to me. But it can move too! Not as bulky or random as a MOBAT or PG.

Thanks for the info, as usual. Short Fuze looks cool, but isn't he supposed to be a mortar man? Thunder looks like a nice update to the original. The movie vehicle looks kind of odd.

i saw these on hiss tank too, im happy outback coming, i may pick up 2 of these so i can make a night force outback,

This is a recent message from Hasbro that you may or may not have seen elsewhere:

A note from the Hasbro G.I. Joe Team: Thank you for your incredible support over the past year. What started as just a handful of figures in 2007 now includes a full line of figures, vehicles, comic packs, DVD packs, Mighty Muggs, and Combat Heroes. Yo Joe!

We would like to take this opportunity to answer one of the most common questions about the classic 3 3/4"" figures we have heard from the fans:

Will there be any more classic 1980's 3 3/4"" figures after fall 2008?

The Hasbro G.I. Joe Team's response: In late 2008 you will see a bonus wave of single figures and classic comic packs that are redecos of figures from the 25th Anniversary collection. Due to the huge success of the G.I. Joe line, we were able to squeeze in a number additional figures into the end of this year. But this does not mean the end of classic figures or new tooling! As we head into 2009 prior to the August 2009 live-action movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, you will see newly tooled classic vehicles, newly tooled versions of your favorite characters from G.I. Joe Resolute, and a number of favorites you have been waiting for:

Dr. Mindbender, Alpine, Tunnel Rat, Alley Viper, Recondo, Outback, Night Creeper, Zap, Shockwave, and even more!

With the release of the 2009 movie you will see many of your favorite 1980's characters in movie styling,
but that does not mean the end of the classic style. The Hasbro G.I. Joe Team recognizes that there are plenty of additional classic 1980's figures and vehicles to release in the future after the movie and in the years to come.

I already knew Tunnel Rat and Shockwave were rumored in upcoming comic packs (unfortunately with another Storm Shadow and Destro respectively) so I was happiest to learn about Recondo from this list.

A bunch of the figures are available to order from HTS. I just ordered:

CrocMaster
Zartan (nu skool!)
EEL (can only order 1!)
Mutt n Junkyard
Airborne

I figure I'll deal with the ParaTrooper and Matt Tracker at a later date. I think 3 of those figures won't ship till late November but either way, you can order now!

Beach Head/DataFramer and SE/HardMaster comic packs are available. There are still paratroopers and EELs available but I didn't catch if Zartan with swamp skiier (that skiier looks REALLY small!) was still available. I ordered the BH/DF along with Matt Tracker, another EEL and... a para trooper.

NEW pics of wave 5 vehicles, and new 5 figure box sets.

kohls
 

I found heaps of scrap iron wild bill and mainframe/beachhead and 1 se hardmaster. I was looking for paravipers and one store and found none. I decided to go to the other stroe on my side of town. Guess what. No joes at all. I was to say the least pissed. I do not wish to repeat the obcenities that I mumbled as I left for home. I will however be returning tomorrow...

wish i could find those, but i dont think i will be seeing them until the old wave sells out here. i dont see that happening anytime soon:(

Ult battle pack!!
 

Found 18 minus one :) at a local Target this evenong. $62.99. They were located on another toy aisle on the top shelf!! If they are her in Cali im sure they should be everywhere else since we seem to get stuff last!! Good luck!!

E-bay night vipers going fast 30 min remain
 

:eek:

first pictures of the movie figures.

http://www.toyark.com/news/gi-joe-t...gviper-set-319/

Fairly blah...not bad especially. Helmets seem a bit silly for a live action movie, and the red on the "trooper" is ugly. Helmetless they are just more ski-mask thugs, which we've seen a lot of in recent years.

Wondering what their designation will actually be. Vipers, Iron Grenadiers, maybe even MARS troopers, as whoever labelled them. Word is NEO VIPERS are in the film, but the shot I saw of them in costume doesn't match these.

They don't even look like Iron Grenadiers. Can't say I'm surprised.

These figures looks good too me. I like the officers facemask much better than the red facemasks on the troopers. But the figures are looking nice and its good to get some to use for generic terroists in dio stories. Actually these figures are excellent for that use, regular security guards and or terrorists....

I can deal with those beign IGs or Mars Troopers. There MAY be a difference! I like the set too! Plus, these might be the pre-cursor to the Iron Grenadiers! Hasbro needs to color those rifles tho. And the last guy, pretty f'n cool. I could use 40 of these. Errrr, I mean 36 regulars and 4 officers!
