Yeah, but we got non-Halo knock-off figures of those guys.

The first movie sucked, and, maybe this is me, but I think its sketchy that the only pictures we seem to have are of The Rock, like we're all going "Oh hells yeah, we gotta go see this, The Rock's in it."

I wish there were some pictures of the others in costume too. It is a little unsettling that the only one they seem to be showing is The Rock. His outfit is leagues better than anything in ROC, and does give me hope that the others will be along the same line as well. I hope they go with the Sideshow/POC wave 3 Snake Eyes this time around.

I'll take both outfits and a few of each figure please. like KT said, olive drab, hell yeah, and the other 'armor' outfit if made, i'll take for the parts and I will need 1 of each for keepers. He will never be considered Roadblock in my collection though, he will be G.I.Rock....lol

Yeah, he won't be Roadblock in my collection either. Although, I might use parts from his figure to make a Roadblock...

exactly...BTW, the Rock sure is proud of his guns huh?...good thing hes got a little cock...

... I don't even know how to respond to that last bit...

If it was Paramount or Hasbro or whoever showing these, that'd be one thing. But everything we've seen so far is from the Rock's twitter feed - these aren't official press photos or anything like that, so I wouldn't read too much into it only being the Rock.

It's kinda cool that he actually seems pretty excited to be playing a Joe... He was a pretty cool character in Fast 5 (not remotely inferring it was Oscar worthy or anything, just a fun badass type).
 
May not indicate what might come during the second or third act. Remember, Duke and Ripcord showed up wearing multicam before stomping around Paris looking like Master Cheif had a baby with Iron Hide from the Transforms movies.

I've seen some of the Cobra uniforms . . .they're pretty much regular uniforms. one was Black, and the other urban camo.

The Rock's character in Fast 5 was bad a. We need a figure of him.

Do you have any links to the pics?

I'm sure there will be customs as soon as the Joe 2 movie figs drop. I don't know if anybody is making Rock heads for Joe figs now. Seems like it'd be fairly easy to make a Fast 5 Rock custom now with PoC parts.

I was thinking the same thing.

The main the needed is a head-sculpt. Some sanding and sculpting would have to be done to a BnB Rock head-sculpt to get something decent, but I can't stand his signature eyebrow raise on that sculpt, and not to mention the smug look on his face.

He does seem excited about being a Joe. I would imagine the other uniforms are along the same lines as his. Who knows, maybe they took some feed back from fans and learned a lesson or two.

It's Joes though, so there has to be something unrealistic.

Not sure my curiosity will overcome my lack of tolerance for tripe like ET.

At they were using guns that sounded like guns...none of that pew-pew business



Duke's running around with a SCAR, so it's at least something.


The Water Moccasin doesn't look too bad. Too bad it'll suck after Hasbro gets done with it. I agree on the M2 just sitting out there with no way to load it. It'll probably be a spring-loaded launcher on the toy anyhow.

SCARs are pretty awesome. Local gun shop has been lucky enough to get a few in stock. It's like a modernized, light-weight FAL. Approve, if it wasn't 3K.

That M2 does look like it's in a probable launcher position. How would the driver see where the hell he's going? Hopefully it can be sawed off or repositioned on the toy. Assuming one is made. Hell, maybe they'll just re-issue the Sting Raider… again. Just in… grey? It's hard to tell what color it is from the picture.

Probably will be. Hasbro loves to cut corners.

That was the new Whale!!! OMG!!! We are getting a Whale!!!! :rolleyes:

I thought for a second that maybe it was. I savored the thought of fanboy shit-fits. :D

I wouldn't mind some desert colored SCAR's. Would make buying a Taintum almost worth it.

Hopefully, Hasbro uses new tooling for the figures torso. Instead of the RA torso form RoC. I would love to see that "Sting Raider" made however I have no water (lakes, ponds, streams) So I would not buy one. Damn it I would though!

I want the truck in the clip too!

I have no love for The Rock, but I have to give him props for his seemingly genuine enthusiasm in promoting the movie.

Plus, I loved his "Honey, it's not just a boat..." line.

He is a very outgoing character. They need that if Taintum is a co star. That moron has no emotion. I guess I wouldn't either if my acting was like that.

Taintum, for me, is one of those "who the hell is this guy and why does everyone else know/love him?"
