As we say here in Australia, "nice legs, shame about the face!" PUG UGLY! I hope she is suing Mindbender for the botched plastic surgery... :D

I think that's a bad idea. One of the major player's classic looks? I mean, that would be like making 1985 Snake-Eyes a con exclusive. There's gobs of fans who'd buy one or more, limiting it is just foolish.

I detest the idea of convention exclusives anyway, especially ones that can only be acquired at said conventions. (did Mattel do that with MOTU's Keldor?)

The mask is too small and he has chicken legs. The grenades are too big. I don't know about Destro. Looks awkward.

I guess they all can't be winners.

25th Anniversary
 

I'd love to see Firefly, Dusty and Stalker. With those and whatever else Hasbro makes; I'll finally be able to die in peace!! :cool:

I agree ... the head is too small, even so the figure is not bad! I love the classic look!

This version of Baroness is far the best, that's for sure, the "clothes" are perfect but her face is a bit too strange.

Gatilho

Great! In my opinion, this is the coolest 25th figure up til now!

Gatilho

This is THE Snake Eyes, very cool!

I love this figure. I love the green eyes. I don't mind the legs. This is the perfect Destro and it's about time.

I can deal with it. I think she's pretty good and better than the other offerings we've had.

I feel the same way, Outrider. His arms are a bit on the thin side. The way the comic and cartoon played him off, he was one of the buff boys. Maybe not as big as Roadblock, but he was close in my verse.

Jmacq of the JBL says this!

Destro's legs still look a little too long and skinny to me. But I can deal with the "not helmet-sized" head, because let's be honest...Destro is pretty much always drawn/animated as though the mask were skin-tight anyhow! (Heck, the lips move and facial expressions can change on it, too so....). Outside of his first few appearances in the comics, the mask basically acts like a real face anyhow, in other words.

I worry too, now, that Hasbro might pull a double character thang. Cuz if the v2 SE were made, we could surely see a hooded CC too. That's a waste of 2 spots, imo.

Yeah, like I said, I wasn't expecting it to be a popular idea, since most people probably aren't going to Comic-Con. I would like to see Hasbro do some sort of 25th exclusive for the Con though... Even if it's just a repaint. Tiger Force Duke, maybe.

And yes, Keldor was a Comic-Cone exclusive. The following year, it was She-Ra. I have 'em both! :D

First off, I feel exactly the same way about the character!

As for the glasses-- Well, it is a prototype. Maybe she'll have little removable glasses (hopefully better than the comic pack's goggles), but they aren't ready yet. Regardless, I do think this is the best Baroness head ever sculpted.

Baroness is a case were her face looks off, same way Cover Girl from the Devils Due pack looked off. Not terrible, but just a little odd. That said, it's a serviceable figure. Not my favorite. Not my least favorite.

If the heads are the ball-joint ones we've seen on DTC figures like Barrage, Cover Girl and Mutt, it would be SO easy for Hasbro to package CC with 2 heads (mask and hood) because those things pop off no trouble... The toys of CC may have been different shades but in the cartoon the hood was just a bit darker...

Less easy for Snakes, unfortunately, since the rest of his outfit isn't the same with just a mask change.

25th Cobra trooper
 

Maybe noe the blueshirt 6-pack will come down in price from the $80.00 insanity that I've seen some stores charge. Got mine for 40.00 bucks and still feel I overpaid. Whatever the cost of the 25th trooper, Hasbro should make lots of them. They'll be popular..

25th Baroness
 

Would take 25th Cobra trooper's Drugonov and would give it to her. I don't like that HK. Anyway, any woman that dresses in black skin tight leather ,has glasses, and has the Cobra sigil ; has got to be okay in my book!!

25th Gung Ho
 

Put him with a M-203. That should make him look exactly like the likeness from the Cobra civil war when he was on the recon team with Falcon.

Destro 25th
 

Give him a black Mauser pistol, with detachable silencer and I could see the light. Better call Marauder.

I'm impressed now.
 

I was pretty disappointed after the Scarlett figure. It didn't impress me, but the rest of this stuff is amazing.

is it just me, or are they using the Barrage style head? :confused: :confused:

Besides, i betcha Snake eyes is a happy camper! ;)

Anniversary Cobra Trooper
 

Yeah, this guy looks badazz. I won't be greedy, I'll only get 10 or so. If they're marketed to TRU I'm in luck because my brother works at one!

25th Anniversary Snake Eyes
 

Alright, going back to when he was simply a commando, just like when I was a kid. This will be my default Snake Eyes.

25th Anniversary Duke
 

Duke's a hometown boy, so I can't wait to get this one.

I owned the VvsV wave 7 one and that is my definitive update of the v2. The v1 had a great update with the comic book with new sculpt head. And I'm really happy that they choosed the v1 to upgrade, 'cuz we just had a great update of the v2.

If these are being released in the rumored 5 packs, I can kind of see Hasbro putting V2 Snake Eyes in a different pack to boost sales. Thing about it is, would a fan who only wanted Snake Eyes pay for all 5 figures? I think most fans would prefer 25 different characters. Anyway, as I said before, I prefer SE V1, it's the outfit he wore in all my favorite appearances, cartoon and comic, and this update is really cool.

You know what would be really funny. If we got a clear, red plastic SE that catered to "radioactive" SE from the cartoon! Ok, ok, I'll shut up now. :D

how will the new 25 change the future of 3 3/4 joes?
 

I was working hard at work this week and now it's the weekend and I've missed all the news about new figures!? Serves me right for not checking this out sooner. Instead of asking questions that are probably already answered elsewhere, I'll just keep reading.

It will be great to see some of these new figures alongside anything from 1982-2006, just to see how they scaled them. I still plan to pick them up, but it would be fantastic if they are close enough to pose (or wedge into) vehicles we already own....

This trooper and his Dragunov sniper rifle look ready to ruin someone's day.

I like it, but the head and face just seem...weird. It wouldn't be the first of the series I'd get, but I'd definitely get it.

The chicken legs kind of throw the figure off, but I like it. The MARS briefcase is a nice touch too.

Normally, when I see a new version of Snake, i just kind of shrug and move on, because there's about a million of them.

This one is different. It literally made my jaw drop. This one, the Commander and the Cobra trooper are probably my top 3.

I think we will see the 25th figures in retail (I think too much money's gone into them to not have mass distribution), and depending on how they sell, we will either get more than 25 figures, or it will be the end of 3 3/4 figures for a while.

I like it. Here's to hoping we get a Viper of the same quality. :)

Another possibility for a Comic-Con exclusive! Good thinking, Sonn!
