Wow! You found Helix? I keep finding the same figures over and over. Still waiting for Duke in the D6 suit and the PIT Commandos.
As for the figures....
GI Joes;
Cool outfits. Love the reactive armor and D6 suits. The Urban Camo....ehh!
BBQ...ok, why go from day-glo orange to mustard yellow? Is he even in the Movie?(didn't buy him, BTW!)
Ship wreck and deep six I like! Not impressed with
breaker. How did countryboy Alvin Kibbe suddenly become Arabic? hmmm.... (Didn''t buy him either!)
Scarlett...in Black, ok...urban Camo...yuk! Fix the head...and
covergirls, too! You can make that clown Daman Wayans and Sienna Miller's action figures dead on....give us a decent covergirl!
Heavy Duty in regular cammies and
duke in desert...PASSED!!! hmmm...any Joes I missed? The biggest dissappointment is the weapons! Most are Crap! And the Missile launchers...did the 90's teach Hasbro NOTHING? The only guy that has cool weapons is Heavy Duty in Reactive Armor. The oversized Mini gun actually accents the figure!
Cobra's;
Forget it. Might as well be the Bugs from Starship Troopers! Other than
Destro and
Baroness, I can't recognize Cobra! The
Vipers, elite Vipers, etc don't look anything like the Cobra I knew!Didn't waste my time with
Zartan. Arnold Vasloo is a good choice to play him, but make him look cool. Not like an Air force reject!
StormShadow looks too "Reloaded" for me....looks like something out of "Kill Bill". The Only figures from Cobra I like are the
APV driver,
Ice Viper and
Firefly rehash! I saw most of the unreleased figuers. The new
Eel looks promising if they could get a brighter clearer picture of him! And the
Para Viper looks sweet....why didn't they make the original in these colors instead of the Day-glo highlights!?!?
The biggest heartache I have with these toys is PRICE! A RockSlide, Armadillo and Ferret remake for $16.99? These used to be "b" level vehicles that were usually about $5.99 - $9.99. And $29.99 for a APV? What about that PITT? Even the Terror Drome didn't break the $100.00 mark in it's day! I understand inflation, but doesn't it seem like these toys are a bit TOO pricey for what they are? I'll wait for a clearence! Maybe they should have cut out Marlon Wayans for Comic relief!Then they wouldn't have to take us to the cleaners to recoup his paycheck!
