*blinks*

I'm really surprised Hsabro is letting ARAH molds be a part of this. I had the understanding that Hasbro wanted to push the 25A molds. Even pushing the Theme Years molds woulda been pushing it a bit. But it's my view that the conset should have a bit of nostalgia to it so the use of ARAH molds seems most appropriate.

BUT as for the figure shown, yuck! What a DORKY looking dude!

Being a Gristle fan, he works for me. A bit odd, but better than 25th crap. I'm just shocked that they found/used the entire body mold. It was supposedly lost in brazil.

mmm, im with gogorobo. this figure just isnt doing it for me. but then again ive never been one to even think of paying the high prices for the con figures which i could as easily make myself. i do admit that they have done good things the last few years, but nowhere near as good as the price tag suggest.

I agree 100%, well maybe 90%. It is good to know tha we here in Brazil didn't all THAT mess with the G.I. Joe line .

I'll totally save some money for some of those guys. I'll not be able to pic up the entire set. However will be cool to have some v2 or v3 of some of those figures.

You guys did notice that Gristle's shadow is not ACTUALLY his..........it's the shadow of the 'Pulverizer Mech' from Venom vs. Valor......a little *wink, wink* to what the other Con exclusive may be.........

GS is rigth! That's a nice touch.

The logo is awesome too.

The figure is okay for me. But not the price.

Thumbs up He's Not That Bad

i Havent Missed A Con Set Since The 04 So It Would Be Safe To Say That I'll Be Grabbing A Few Of These Sets. The Black And Green Colors Are Kinda Cool . The Possibilities Of Some Shots With Nightvipers Are There. I'll Have To See What The Head Hunters Look Like Aswell As The Bats And Storm Troopers Though.
