But need more | New Movie GI JOE toys I've seen the New Joe toys "Worst toys Ever!!" Cobra commander looks really strange and grotesquse. I guess I'm an original. The only thing that I'm interested in is the Cobra Night Raven. Any thoughts? |

Aside from that, the figures look like regular Joe figures to me. Snake Eyes and Stormshadow look like some of the best renditions I've seen.
Anyone know if there is going to be a pre-chrome Destro figure? |

It is a real cool take on him. It involves the baroness too. I like the new continuity. I didn't think it could be anything but laughable, but they made it work and I've been grabbin em all. |

#8 | | Kazundo, my boy. Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 6,376 Location: Central Florida Collection Count: Way. Too. Many. (Ask my roommate) News Credits: 3 | I think the regular Snake Eyes sucks. His Visor is clip on and HUGELY out of proportion. And that dumb mouth. I did see a "Paris Pursuit" Snake Eyes today though, and bought it. MUCH better figure. The visor is proportioned well and it has no mouth/lips. Cool trechcoat, too. Recommended.
I also got the Ice-Viper and the Eel. Both are neat. Aside from the modern-era Para-Viper repaint (best modern-era figure ever, hands down) I'm done, I think, unless a really slick Viper comes out that I haven't seen yet.   **My Junkion Exchange Feedback** ** My Flickr Gallery- Robots and Transformers GALORE!!!11** **MY HUGE FOR_SALE THREAD!!** |

#10 | | MvC2 online! woot! Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 1,027 Location: Montreal Collection Count: 100 | Bought 3 figs so far. Snake Eyes with the trench coat, Armored Scarlett and a Neo-Viper. All awesome figs.
I skipped the rest, though. Baroness and CC are ugly. The rest is Meh. I'm on the fence about Reflective armor Duke. I think it's his big head that kills it for me.
I still need to find an Ice Viper and an Elite Viper. Possibly an Eel too. |
