If I am not mistaken, judging by these pics, this trooper, along with SE, Duke, and Roadblock, it seems that their belts/harness are removable.

Not bad. Not great. Helmet seems off..or maybe off center. Removable?

Green Eyes?

Grenades on left glove are oversized, and awkward looking.
Interesting that they kept the walkie-talkie on his chest like V1.

If he's better than recent Destro, I'll be happy.

Slick looking Destro, but I think that I like the recent comic pack head better

I like him, he looks really cool!

Nice figure, definitely looking up for this series.

I hope I can change the head, Scarletts too!

Ok, this is just awesome, Gung Ho is my favorite Joe, and this sculpt really impresses me. Definitely a must have!

Yup, definitely cool!

Looks cool, from this picture., anyway. I'm fine with this, as the last Snake Eyes used the strange visor (isn't strange when you think about it? How does he see? Through slits?). And SE was always cooler in commando mode than ninja mode.

I think the "posed" hair is trying to copy the vintage card art, which seems rather unnecessary.

Reused VvsV gun? Is that a good scale indicator? Odd they didn't try to redo her classic rifle.

Cool!

:D

Hell yeah!

The mask doesn't look like it'd leave much room for certain things, like his hair or his skull...

Apart from that I like the style a lot, picking out the little details from the original and being more bold with them.

I'm gonna get 400 a those guys!

Its alright. Not bad not good. I only get him if I have the money and I see him.

Its nice!

The glasses look like clark kent!

Yeah! He's cool! All he needs is a heavy machine gun.

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...!

The final 15???
 

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.

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!

Not to be downist, but I could see why Zartan wouldn't be made. You make Zartan, you open up a can of worms. The fans will be crying for the rest of the posse to be made, y'know? The only away to avoid the crush of the other 10 figures is NOT to make Zartan. Which DOES suck. I hope he gets in there w/ Bludd and Scrap Iron. Any other Cobra (other than Viper and Cobra Officer), I could care less about.

Looks amazing to me. I mean, amazing. I cannot say a single negative thing about this guy! If I didn't already have a bunch of them from the infantry and comic packs, I'd be tempted to stock up. But as it is, I'll probably just get one to enjoy. Definitely one if, as speculated, they come in five-packs.

I love being able to see his bare neck, too. Nice tribute to the cartoon.

Looks fantastic, but I was really hoping for version 2. And honestly, I don't think Hasbro would skip him, so I'm guessing we'll see him among the 25 as well.

Yes! Gung-Ho is back! I waited through three new-sculpt versions for Hasbro to get him right, and number four is the charm! I wish his outfit was blue, but that's a minor quibble considering the sheer awesome-itude of this guy.

I hope his hat is removable.

I think I've mentioned that the Baroness is only inches behind Slice as my favorite Cobra character. Well, I just died and went to heaven. And there's a hot chick wearing leather and glasses there. I actually like the hair; it'll look fine if she's posed for action.

I should really become a Hasbro spokesperson or something... I know I sound like I work for their PR department, but I'm just THAT impressed!

He's cool, but looks too skinny. He does seem kind of tall, though. After all, he should be at least a head taller than Cobra Commander. I wish he just had green pupils rather than full-on green eyes, and his head overall just looks way too small to me. He's really the only one of the ten that I'm not extremely pleased with. Depending on his size, I wonder if I can swap in the comic pack head to replace that one. That would go a long way to making him perfect.

Well, that and some gray boots to make him look like his cartoon counterpart.

do you work for hasbro or have some inside source?, if so that would be great to know what they other 15 figs are, hisstank.com has the first ten up on there site so, let us know and I may decide to e-mail you...

Now that's more like it! Might have to invest in a few of these guys.

Looks awesome, but what the heck is up with those scrawny arms?? :confused:

Oh no, Destro's been on a diet. If his legs were any thinner, they wouldn't hold him up! And what's with the green eyes? Perhaps Destro is revealed as an alien :eek: :rolleyes: Not even close, Hasbro.
