    Aha! I've been hoping for some news about this line. I remember an earlier thread about it, quite some time back, with (I think) some proto pics). If the toyline lives up to the designs, I'll be getting every single thing they put out.

    I am ITCHING to see the aircraft! I want to repaint the Owl with Tomahawk colors! Looks so beast! I also hope MMI tackles the Tomcat, YF-23, Fulcrum, Super Flanker, et al. With Rudat and Cassaday onboard this line is full of potential.

    They look DAMN impressive, but honestly, O-rings? Unless they mold in some kind of waist restriction to keep the figures from being perpetually caught in half-swivel, I'm passing.

    I'm thinking that they can ditch the o-ring later on but still keep the same kind of articulation that o-rings offer.

    Me too! Hell that is the primary draw for me! I mean the figures sound pretty cool, but us Joe fans have been without large vehicles for long enough! I mean these guys are making a TRANSPORT helicopter, akin to the Cobra one in the comics, AND a freaking HARRIER! Plus the Grackle looks quite wicked.

    looks good, if the toys come out there's going to be lots of potential kit bash ideas for this guy.

    That and the VEHICLES! The Virus team looks pretty beast. I like the Kamikaze troopers too.

    The GRACKLE fighter plane looks WICKED. I want to customize it into an Oktober Guard fighter. Looks like a Flanker from hell!

    Can't expect the toys to be like the art works but damn I will be lying if this doesn't colour me interest.

    It's gonna be terrible when these figures come out looking crappy, but if the vehicles can fit modern joes the line will be a massive success :lol 

    O-rings were always a nuisance to me, to this day I still have plenty of bodyless joe crotches and legs floating around in my box of old Joes.

    O-rings never gave me that problem, not even from 2nd-rate toys like C.O.R.P.S.

    Whoa, forgot to post this here:

    SK Omega Runway New Portrait - GI Joe News

    Runway is an Asian fighter pilot for the SK Omega team. I tried looking at the reflection in his visor to see what kind of cockpit he was in. Couldn't tell.
