I like the colour scheme. Those dark greys work well in an urban environment. I'm curious to see what those joes are going to look like. Thanks for the link, though I had some issues with it, but nonetheless some cool stuff.

True, but you have to buy a boxed set to qualify to buy a bagged set.


I liked the Black on the V1's better than the grey, but these are cool, too!

I don't like the con Stormtroopers much at all, the new colours don't look as good as the black/grey of the originals. So far this set hasn't impressed me, I think I'll save my money this year. :(

you know, when i really think about it it saddens me. i mean for those of you who arent into the 25th, there are only 1 or 2 times a year when you get a chance to get any new figures. i cant imagine how it must feel to see new wave after wave, knowing how pumped everyone is getting, but not getting anything you want. maybe at least the vehicles will be something for you. and when the movie comes out a few playsets.

For the people who like the Headhunters, at least you are getting some classic ARAH goodness. For those of us that don't like them :( maybe next year.

There's a problem when the original figure needed no improving, a new version that costs over $18 each isn't something to cheer about.

We were getting TRU six packs of RAH reissues for $20 3 years ago. I realize that with limited runs and more paint ops have to charge more (plus the box that not everyone cares about). But apparently nearly 6 times more than retail. That's a lot.

25th fans, would you pay $42 for an exclusive figure? (Current single carded 25th figures are $7)

Yeah, it really hurts man! But what do you care? You're one of the "Clique". You hated me from Day one and you're all so evil and disrespectful. I hate you guys because fo all the bad names you called me and I'm going away forever and forever.....

Nah....Just kidding! LOL! (If ya can't tell, I was bein Sarcastic and TRYING to be funny in light of current events!)

Seriously, it does kinds suck. But I'm not the ONLY Collector out here! Hey, I hated Sigma Six. And I'm sure the Old School 12" collectors hated ARAH. Times Change.Ya take what you can get. I find other things I like (Indiana Jones Vehicles for Example!) and still make Dios with my Arah figures! no worries! when they start making NEW figures for the 25th, I might hop back on board for a few. But thanks for the concern! ;)

naw, i thought you were joking. but then again, one never knows, lol.

you should check out my review on the wave 7 snake eyes. im not trying to get you on board with the 25th, i know i couldnt get on board with S6 of the 12inch line. but if it was the crappyness of the first figs that turned you off, he is a great improvement.

as for the indiana jones figures, im loving them more then the 25th right now. but maybe thats because im a big fan of the movie and i have a use for some germans and russians in my dios.

When I first saw him I thought they looked crappy, and the original is way better, but now I think this figure kinda works.

To me, buy a Stormtrooper out of eBay don't work, to much money. So, maybe the con will bring me one or 2 of them.
