As I'd hoped, Duke is obviously based on the opening of G.I. Joe: The Movie. I just need a 1:18 scale Stature of Liberty to put him on top of.

Wild Bill looks good, though his head is a bit on the small side.

Spirit looks angry, but is still a nice update of the original, and the removable cartridges for his gun are pretty neat.

Snake-Eyes is not v4, but v3, which I never owned. I love that his knives appear to be removable.

HISS Driver is, just like the original, pretty lame. I might get one just to have, but all my HISSes are driven by Super Sonic Fighter Vipers (my Viper motor corps), so I really have no use for this guy.

The Viper is pretty awesome, though I wonder why he has no goggles. I'm guessing they're a separate piece that just wasn't ready when the pictures were taken. Or maybe Hasbro finally heard all the people asking "What's the point of goggles when you have a full face plate?" and completely did away with them...


...But wasn't Major Bludd supposed to be part of this wave too?!?
