I don't think the bat gauntlets were apparent from the last SS image: a new thing to chin scratch over! But otherwise (and I'll get used to em) I like him. Hopefully we get a lower tech good guy version down the line, or yes, a classic version. Red ninja doesn't really do it for me, not sure why.
So, if they are using that pic for Commander, does that mean the dark one is the variant? Im so confused.
Appreciate the pixs! Storm Shadow’s suit is abit to techie for me but I’ll pick it up. After that I’ll pass up on other variants until Hasbro releases ARAH versions.
Crispy wafer or chewy nougat inside? Use Cobra BAT v2 to have the color scheme for the Oompa Loompa Battle Android Troopa
Heh given that I think I'd prefer it repainted as Sub Zero as an homage to the mid-90's Mortal Kombat joes God I hope not Hmmm, so I guess maybe this is the roster for the 1st 4 waves alluded to months ago(art is a mix of Classified, Draxhall Jump and DDP/IDW comics): G.I. JOE Characters, Action Figures, Action Heroes List - G.I. JOE Hasbro
I like the mix of characters, save for Helix who has no value to me but aesthetically I suppose she fits in with Classified. I’d have rather seen them bring back Bombstrike if this was simply about adding another female character and add Blackout to the Cobras to go with her at some point.
Some of the designs are ok but Firefly kinda sucks. Will see how it goes. I like how a bunch of the characters' ratings indicate that they are just ok at what they are supposed to be experts at.
That's a huge image dump indeed. So I guess these are the figures for the next year or two? Definitely an interesting mix of characters. Disappointed at not seeing Low-Light, Lifeline, Beachhead, or Kamakura for the Joes or Serpentor or any Iron Grenadiers on the Cobra side. Hopefully a little further on.
I heard when the retailers got the info about the line they were trying to sell them with about 4 waves worth of figs. So far they seem to be selling pretty good. I’m hoping this line gets as deep as the 25th-30th did and we get characters like Dr Venom, Billy, Kwinn, Matt Trakker, Kamakura etc.
It does look like Storm Shadow has a hood but off in the art. Hopefully there's an option to put a hood on for the toy, it helps the look(always liked that look on V2 Storm Shadow-onwards).
They mention Dr. Mindbender a lot but no Dr. Mindbender... All good for me though, I'm not in a rush to buy an action figure of a half-naked, old bald guy.
Gotta say I am liking the Cobra updates a lot less than the Joe updates. Hoping that changes with more pictures. Still buying it just not really feeling it.
Yeah, not much for me. I even passed on him way back during the original line. Definitely an important character though.
Mindbender is the most off-the-rails Cobra or maybe character costume ever... crazy shirtless dentist in purple pants, bald with a monocle and handle-bar mustache. Or wait...he’s a hipster bartender in 2020, he’s actually more relevant now. I am going to go buy a $30 smoke and orange infused bourbon from him in 15 minutes.
