I find the latest Star Wars figures revealed to be more exciting.

I'm undecided about the new style figures. And I probably won't know if I like/dislike them until I see them in person. I mean, we aren't seeing them actual size (are we?!).

I can see how people would not like these 25th anniversary figures based on what's been shown. I know, that goes against the black and white attitude that so much of fandom takes, for all the enforced civility at virtually every Joe message board (which had its ups ad downs), Joe fandom is pretty polarized.

I like the fact that this seems to be a somewhat better Scarlett, however, she just seems a bit on the skinny side, Duke seems to be the same way. That being said I don't think they need to be overbuff, which some action figures were for a time.

I think I'll wait and see the actual final product before making too may judgements.
These are, after all, more then likely prototypes.

A lot of folks seem not to be caring much for this one, but I've gotta say... She's pretty much the best representation of Scarlett I've ever seen Hasbro produce. Sure she's kinda thin, but I'd prefer that over the short, pudgy look of v1 and Ninja Force. She's also not all super buff looking like JvC, and she's not green with a completely un-Scarlett-like head, like VvV.

I love the colors, and I absolutely adore the head sculpt. She looks like a cartoon character, which is one of my main criteria for action figure enjoyment. Based on the past three days, I don't think a single figure in this set will disappoint me. Nostalgia is the main factor in prompting me to buy anything, plus the Microman-ish articulation is great, and should've replaced the O-ring long ago.

Actually, these are most likely the production models. ie; the molds were based on them. What happens between original sculpt and the end product can be pretty amazing. Luke reported that Spy Troops Lady Jaye (when he visited Hasbro HQ a few years ago) was amazing, but somehow, the mass production process goofed it all up. Which probably means, a LOT of figures ended up poorly.

I hope these figures are available individually, because there is no way I will waste money on rubbish like that. Wrong, Hasbro. Wrong,wrong, wrong.

My concern here (if you could call it that) is customizability! And maybe playabilty.
I've always loved how Joes have never been overly stiff, and can be made to jump and run and flip. I want the screw in the back and everything to come apart without having to boil it!

Whatever, I can't deny they look cool.

dude are they gonna be on sale like regular joes?

I can't post the pics until they are officially revealed by Hasbro (or TNI or whoever). Just know that the next 7 (to round out the 1st wave of 10) are:

Gung Ho
Roadblock
Snake Eyes

Baroness
Cobra Commander
Destro
Cobra Trooper.

Add those to Duke, Storm Shadow and Scarlet, we have our 1st 10. There are ways to view these if you look or ask hard enough.
