Enjoy!

*blinks*

I'm really surprised Hsabro is letting ARAH molds be a part of this. I had the understanding that Hasbro wanted to push the 25A molds. Even pushing the Theme Years molds woulda been pushing it a bit. But it's my view that the conset should have a bit of nostalgia to it so the use of ARAH molds seems most appropriate.

BUT as for the figure shown, yuck! What a DORKY looking dude!

It's all in how you use the character......... ;)

the gold on gold shades really aren't doing it for me

Being a Gristle fan, he works for me. A bit odd, but better than 25th crap. I'm just shocked that they found/used the entire body mold. It was supposedly lost in brazil.

I agree 100%, well maybe 90%. It is good to know tha we here in Brazil didn't all THAT mess with the G.I. Joe line :D .

I'll totally save some money for some of those guys. I'll not be able to pic up the entire set. However will be cool to have some v2 or v3 of some of those figures.

You guys did notice that Gristle's shadow is not ACTUALLY his..........it's the shadow of the 'Pulverizer Mech' from Venom vs. Valor......a little *wink, wink* to what the other Con exclusive may be......... :cool:

GS is rigth! That's a nice touch.

The logo is awesome too.

The figure is okay for me. But not the price.

He's Not That Bad
 

Like Marcos, I've picked up the Con sets back to '02. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that they are o-ring figures, but they will have to get a little better than that for me to buy this year's set. I was never into the DEF/Headhunter angle anyway, so I'll have to wait and see what the other figures look like before I decide one way or the other on this one. :confused:

It's refreshing to see they are using orings for the con set, I was really worried they would go the 25th direction. I also like the fact they painted the shotgun, maybe they will give some oring accessory love, like they give the 25ths

I've managed to get all but the 2003 set "Operation anaconda". I got Falcon, but that's it. Was that set really all that?

Frank, the Falcon/Lady Jaye/Major Storm trio is cool, and CC is okay, but the Black Dragon Troopers and the Swamp Vipers (especially) are a waste of time. :rolleyes:

I actually REALLY like Gristle. He's a street level THUG. He and Headman have thier ear to the ground, and you don't get much lower than than. If you need something done, and even Cobra has some standards, you get these punks to do it. B&E at a B&B....that's thier motto.

I'm going to try to pick up this set. I haven't picked up any.

I really like his pistol and would like two of those for my Munitia custom.

I figured as much. I'll take your word on it!

Seems like I'm not the only one waiting for the conset this year. I'll not be able to pick a complete one. However I'll fight for some figs, specially the headhunters and swat guys. I'm not a BAT fan.

What I really wanna talk is: Which vehicles do you think we'll see this year? As GS pointed we'll probably have a Mech. What more, what for the SWAT ride? What for the Headhunters ride?
