Some quicky opinons of what I have seen.
Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes. It seems so odd that a simple trenchcoat would make me go Ga-Ga over SE, but it does. Just makes him seem a different figure. I said at the begining of the year I wouldn't buy an SE or SS again and already I have broken that promise.
Ninja Merc Storm Shadow. I simply fell in love with the new look for the movie. It's original while still keeping the basic clasic Storm Shadow iconic look at the same time. Can't say enough.
Viper Commando: That head sculpt really won me over, I am not too enamored by most of the Neo and other vipers thus far, but that is cool.
Heavy Duty (Uniform): Really had kind of looked over him until I saw him in the store, I am really impressed and he now replaces my V1 (Yes after all the HD's released in new sculpt era I kept the V1 as my default).
Some I have seen and not bought (for reasons listed):
Cover Girl: That's not a model that's a man, baby!!! Ok the square jaw on her really turns me off. I thought I would use her as an almost Toon acurate versiion of CG, but I can't bring myself to pick her up.
Scarlett (camo): Can anyone say crappy head sculpt. Wow that face looks like it was rejected from....well I am not sure what but its bad.
Destro: Not bad, but not as great as the 25th versions, Thus I passed.
Baroness: seems to be a pattern with the females in this line, another horrid head sculpt. Just like CG, besides the headsculpt I like the fig otherwise.
Ninja Commando Snake Eyes: I am probably in the minority but I don't see anything really different here. I will remark I don't like how his joints take away from the mold (hard to describe but its there). But overall its another "Man in black" that I have tons of in different ways. Another reason the trenchcoat surprized me in how much I liked it.
Sgt. Stone: I was all up about a new character until I noticed those arms, he's been "eating his spinich" if you know what I mean.
Vheicles: OUCH, the prices are just too high. Might get steel crusher but there is that eating thing I like to do too.
Not seen a whole lot more else first hand (ie Ractive Armor scarlett, Cobra Commander, ect) so won't comment yet.
