Bazooka could've turned out better, but I'll still get him... When will we have an Alpine to accompany him though?!?

Barbecue-- I was never a big fan of the character until I recently re-watched all of the cartoon's first season. You just have to love that goofy accent, so I'm actually looking forward to this one.

Hawk's collar looks a little weird, but I think it'll be better if he doesn't have the shoulder holster on. I'll have to wait and get him to see what I think.

Unlike many, I've never been a big fan of B.A.T.s, but this one looks cool. I'm assuming since he doesn't have the Creeper Bomb canister or battle damaged head and chest that we saw at Toy Fair, we'll likely see another version in a comic pack (the canister was, after all, from the B.A.T.'s first comic appearance).

I'm not a huge "specialty Cobra troop" guy either, but I'll get at least one Snow Serpent since he looks so darn cool!!

Black costume Storm Shadow-- Meh. If they'd given him dark skin and called him Ninja-Ku, as has been suggested on other forums, that would've been cool, but as is, I have no interest.

So overall, I'm pretty excited for this wave. I've noticed lately that normally I'm a bigger Cobra fan than Joe fan, but with regards to the 25th, I want Joes more than Cobras! Probably because, with only a couple of exceptions, they've already made (or announced) all the Cobras I wanted.
