exactly what i want to see. this may make more fans take him more seriously.

Give it a few months, Carlos.

Tripwire looks tight!

Tripwire looks perfect and Falcon looks very cool, especially the backpack. Too bad he comes with that Cobra-La weirdo lol. I may have to break my own rule and get a 2 pack that has one I dont care to have. I will probably pass on IG and Destro, they came after my original Gi Joe run as a kid, so they hold no nostalgia for me.

Hey ThinkTank -- if you're not interested in Nemesis Immortal but want the Falcon, I'll be happy to take Nemmy off your hands if you get the pack as he's the only one of the two *I* have any interest in! The only thing that might cause a problem is, I'd want the comic also (I'm more interested in THAT than either of the figures)...!

If you're up for it, let me know as & when you can buy the pack and we can work something out. I would offer to sell you the Falcon from a pack I bought, but being in the UK means I'm more likely to see an original '80s Falcon in a toy store than any 25th Joes...

As for the others -- why did they have to use Flash's entire body on Tripwire? Couldn't they switch out the legs and upper arms for some that don't have the pads on? Hell, I'm all for updated versions of the classic designs (I'd prefer them) but I thought they were going for reproducing the original designs as accurately as possible in the new construction style?

I bet we could work something out..I will want to read the comic tho, but I dont have any probs sending it your way. If you still want it when I finally get one, something can be arranged.

Nemesis Immortal..

I hate this line. I didn't mind it at first but now I really do hate it.
Nemesis Immortal is probably the lamest thing I've ever seen and I've seen alot of Action Figures. I saw Baroness from this line when they were first released and i have to say this is just as bad. Utterly Shocking.

Falcon.. oh dear what have they done with his face? You know if i found this figure at a market someplace looking at his hands and his face i'd say he was a gi joe knockoff. The colours and paint apps look cheap and lazy.. whats going on with his face too, looks like he got trout slapped!!

The IG looks great, but when will Hasbro learn, these need to be released in single packs.. nobody wants to buy 30 IG Destros all the same style!!

Tripwire looks really good, I have to say even though he's reused repainted parts they've done him well. The paint and parts mix well.

Cobra Commander - oh what again?

Here is a challenge for Hasbro on their Q&A can you go release one wave without the following:
1. Repaint
2. Reused Character I.E Duke, CC, Storm Shadow or a SE?

Now i can actually side with hasbro on the basis they are using plastic and the soaring cost of oil is making them drive prices up.. *clap clap*
I applaud you for realising that you would need to charge the collectors and fans $1 or $2 more on the figures.. but if your going to do this at least release a decent product!!

That falcon.. urgh and Nemesis Immortal, what with all the extra funds we're paying out on the figures you can't stump up enough dollar to pay for the copyright on his name..

I find this latest run of figures a shambles, although if i'm honest the whole 25th Anniversary has been nothing but an abuse by a toy manufacturer at the celebration of a nostalgic community.. truely awful form from Hasbro.

got this from a post on hisstank. dont know the guy who posted it or if hes reliable, but it seemed so to me so here it is.

"New listings from Wal-Mart, and I remembered the UPCs this time:
New vehicles were listed besides the new ones we already know are coming.

AWE Striker - 65356933558 (Target Exclusive before, new paint style?)
Firebat - 65356932840
Fang & Claw - 65356933557
Cobra Stinger - 65356938196
Atck Cannon Cl - 65356938195

There was a listing for the SHARC too, I just did not get the UPC.

There was a listing for a DTC Hiss, don't know if that is the classic or another, did not see a listing for the regular Hiss, so this is probably it, just not sure."

bats are out in china,i got 4 comin my way :eek: ! i'll write a review when i get them!
