Do any of you guys know more about this stuff?
I'm really curious? Any rumors out there?

25 figures?!? Okay, I'm actually excited now...

They say most detailed as well as most articulated, so hopefully they won't look TOO different from existing 3.75" figures and won't have joints throwing their proportions off... I'm imagining something along the line of Marvel Legends Showdown...

Maybe they'll show the same artiulation as Marvel Showdown. That would really ROCK!!!

I'm not sure how I feel. I really hoped for a more modern RAH sculpt style. Like the Comic Packs. Some of the head sculpts were fantastic and left me wishing we revamp the torso's and arms etc. too. I don't really want to see crazy levels of articulation. As for the Marvel thing, I look at those figures and I just can't take to them...

Let's hope Hasbro hasn't gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofed!

Knowing Hasbro, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Thumbs up 25th Aniversary line

As long as the figures come with helmets and include th original 13 agents with the right color schemes, I'll be getting all of them. If its like Sigma 6 , I won't. This is great news for 3.75 collectors. I can't wait to see them. Thanks for giving us the heads up!!1

I just now some yokel'll spoil the line-up before Hasbro unveils any of them.

I'm not exicted, intrigued maybe. It's hard to work up enthusiasm, because even if a picture of one of these looks excellent, it's all about the final product, something Hasbro mucks up IMHO with spotty quality control.

EXACTLY!!!


And if the stuff is 3.75" Sigma Six, I'm gonna end up eating crow and buying it. And Graham will NEVER let me live it down! LOL!

Seriously though, after the comic packs, and going back and hunting down the Stars and Stripes set, I don't want anymore of the orginal 13 Joes. I'd like to see more of the 1986 series! Mabe a decent version of Shockwave and Hit and Run. Or even better (although I'm probably gonna get flamed for this.....) NEW DD Sculpts. Wraith, Mayday, Firewall, General Rey, Serpentor, Overlord, Mistress Armada, Alexander McCullen, Dr. Knox, and of course, the Red Shadows! Even, dare I say it, a new MAINFRAME sculpt?

Or how about some Characters that didn't make it to figures from the original series? Like Hard Master and Soft Master, Billy, Candy, Capt Mihn, Dr. Venom, ScarFace (ok, he it be argued he was in the cobra infantry six pack!) and Recondo's Indian Friend.

Just my $.02

Dude, it won't be Sigma6. That wouldn't make sense. S6 it it's own entity. The 25th will cater to the OLD collectors.

Muwhahaha! A Captain Minh figure, oh that'd be a sight too see. It would be cool to see all those other figures you listed Ender, that'd be sweet, even that new Mainframe in which he looks really fit. Well I hope the figures turn out good though, but we'll see.
