That Crimson Viper… HNNNNNNG!! Cool to see Grunt, but I’m a bit confused by the Steel Brigade helmet.
For troop-building purposes, according to Hasbro. So you don't have 10 of the same regular-ass lookin' dude standing on your shelves.
Easy generic troop building? Could also use him as a Steel Brigade Commander to set him apart from the normal Steel Brigade
Crimson Viper? Man, Hasbro is really going to milk every single soldier they can, aren't they? Grunt is cool for a basic Joe I guess. Isn't that a Steel Brigade helmet? For me, still nothing here I need to buy. Just mostly waiting for them to show off Hawk, Ripper, Torch, Buzzer, and Tunnel Rat.
I’ll probably get it eventually. I like how it has similar art to a 25th/modern 4” Joe and looks similar to the Walmart 4” retro card Joes(aside from being more detailed with double jointed elbows). Hiya’s Joes so far are literally the original Classified character designs as 4” scale figures.
Oh my poor poor wallet... I like the direction they went with Grunt. I was skeptical about how they would make him interesting so its nice they just embraced the basic look and gave us a Greenshirt. Went from picking one up to.. well now I need a squad to counter the Cobra Trooper/Infantry blue shirts while Steel Brigade will become the Viper counterpart. Also in on a pair of Crimson Vipers.
Awesome!!! From what I seen that was rumoured to be shown this month, these were 2 of them so we’re gonna see some cool shit this month. I heard awhile ago Grunt was going to be coming with a SB helmet I was kind of worried they’d change his colour scheme up but no he’s perfect!!! I love the OG13 and won’t get tired of seeing this body used. Awesome. I’m tempted to grab those even though I’ve given up 4” figs. That Storm Shadow is a design I should hate but I love and wish we’d got it for Classified. Maybe this will bring some interest to it coming to the 6” line.
At the very least I’d like to see a 6”+ version as a Cobra Island exclusive. Most of the tooling is already made, just needs a new head sculpt, skirt, lower legs and lower arms/hands and for all we know maybe those already exist and could’ve been tooled before the switch to the more classic version that was released last year.
Grunt is looking pretty good. The very basic soldier guy look that helped me grow a liking for him. Would've liked a look at him with his helmet on, but it should happen in due time. I'm glad they have the extra head for more options too. It does tempt me to get another one to have an extra Steel Brigade (I might end up getting two sets, so can't say "trio"), but his name tag is right there on the front of his vest. I think him, Breaker, and Tiger Force Dusty would make for a nice trio of distinct but regular infantrymen. Actually, since I'm pretty late to the line is there any other that fits that look?
Hell yeah Grunt! He looks amazing! Based on announcing whose coming to the line to then a CGI render how much longer before I get to see what Agent Helix will look like? I’m on the edge of my seat wanting her so badly already, I just need her and Shipwreck to have my favorite Joes.
Crimson Viper is cool, I'll take 2 please. Grunt is kind of underwhelming, he seems like he fits better with the early classified waves, more sci-fi fortnight instead of the more classic direction they seem to be going now. No complaints though, I'll take pretty much anything they put out. Hey, just putting this out there now as we'll probably get preorders soon, but if anyone wants to trade female steel brigades for males, I'm your man. Shoot, if I buy 2 packs, I might even go 2 for 1 if an extra jet pack was included for my man Lonzo....
