Default Toy Fair 2008

I can't believe no one has posted anything about this here. It's all over the other Joe sites. As is pretty much always the case, General's Joes has the best, clearest pictures:

http://www.generalsjoes.com/images/ToyFair_08/index.htm

Those cartoon packs are astounding! Feast your eyes on the MASS device, along with the three elements needed to power it, plus all sorts of fun little accessories. It seems there'll be a piece of the Device in each cartoon battle pack, so collecting all five will get you a MASS Device that's in scale to the 25th figures. Check out radioactive Snake-Eyes with Timber, cartoon Stalker with a JUMP (and both have Snow Job rifles), the Baroness in a diving suit, and a Cobra trooper with a cartoon gun, a flesh colored neck, white suspenders, and a huge emblem on his chest! This set is a must-have!

Of course, the Revenge of Cobra set is pretty amazing too. Roadblock in his cartoon colors isn't that special, but we've got a hatless, cartoon-colored Lady Jaye (with javelins), and perhaps the greatest Destro figure ever released-- Bright red collar, gray boots and belt, and a chromed head with green pupils! Plus, it appears that in addition to whatever piece of the MASS Device it comes with, that set also has a full Weather Dominator-- and some of Destro's Creeper Vines to menace Roadblock!

These sets are supposed to be out in June, and I literally cannot wait! I'll be counting the days.

Oh, and the Vamp, HISS, RAM, Armadillo, Air Chariot, HISS, and Trouble Bubble are pretty neat too-- Plus the Vamp will include Clutch, the RAM/Trouble Bubble set with come with Breaker and a Tele-Viper, and the Armadillo/Air Chariot set will have Steeler and Serpentor! That means the only members of the original 13 unaccounted for are Short-Fuze and Zap, and with 40 carded figures plus 15 comic packs due out this year, I have to assume we'll see them before year's end.

This is possibly the first time ever that my excitement at seeing Toy Fair Joe photos outweighs my excitement over anything else (even Transformers-- and I love what the new Classics look like)! I haven't been this excited about and anxious for new toys in a long time. I'm going to be dreaming about those cartoon packs tonight.

(I just hope Pyramid of Darkness gives us a cartoon Flint since Revenge of Cobra isn't.)

These look great. I can't wait for these sets. I already have plans to troop build the Baronesses.

I like the Trouble Bubble but find it amazing that Hasbro thinks it's okay to put a figure in it who can't sit properly. Hopefully they'll fix that before release.

I'm not interested in the figures, cause I just don't like em. However, I do want the vehicles, I'll take at least one of each thank you!

The vehicles look cool, I just hope they are old school compatable. I am also looking forward to the new transformers classics coming this summer. Prowl looks awesome.

They are old school compatible because they are from the same molds, just repaints, and some slight mods.

I'm looking forward to the vehicles. The only way they're likely to be modded is to make things like legroom a bit bigger, maybe lower the seats to get heads to fit in more comfortably, so non-25th figures will still fit in, they'll just have a bit more room. And with stuff like the VAMP that will be great because some old vehicles had trouble fitting figures even from the '90s, not to mention JvC, ST & VvV ones.
