I was reading thru the JBL reviews on the 25th figures (ok, skimming) and had a D'OH moment. I didn't relize that the 25th figures didn't turn at the waist!!! I mean, I just ASSumed that they did and I couldn't see it. But man! No turn at the waist? That's JACKED! How'd I miss that one? No wonder you guys hate 'em so!!!

I knew the o-ring was gone and sure, that's fine. But I expected a SW type of swivel in the waist. Would it have been that hard for Hasbro to do a male/female plug?

Go ahead, bash away on the 25th figures. Again.

lol all i want from the 25th anni figures is gungho noone else

see that's why i wasn't so crazy about them ,

I really like them,but there is certainly room for improvement.I've heard that Hasbro is aiming for improvements to Wave 2 and the others to follow.

They have some good points, but too many problems to be considered an improvement over "old" Joes. I hope Hasbro read up on the internet, listen to fan's gripes, and make improvements accordingly. As it stands now I won't be wasting any more money on figures of the current standard.

Man I never knew , of course it would help if they actually had them in the stores around here so I could see them in person!!! Thanks for the info Sonneilon!!!

I was hoping for a Clone trooper type articulation, but in a Joe character... They still don't have them here, but I've heard Madison, Milwaukee and Waukesha have them. I'm not going to make a road trip though. When they arrive, they arrive.

How about heads? Are they Airborne Trooper Clone style with heads that pop off? I never have held a Barrage, but I think that is how he would be.... So I figured that is how the lazy head swap would be facilitated.

Let me know. I was planning on buying a single pack, checking the articulation and customability prior to buying more. But I still haven't seen them.

i think there kool, i saw only the 2 box set cobra and joes, at toys r us. man $30. i think wal-mart will be cheeper? if it ever gets here.

They don't turn at the waist, but they turn at the torso, which essentially leads to the same effect...
