Oh, and it looks like they have Airtight's original backpack retooled in there. So you can all relax. 
Newest wave of renegades/30th
- Thread starter MAJOR BLOOD
- Start date
Well that badge has to go on LO. I actually don't really dig the vest he has. Makes the torso look longer. Considering they gave him a drab color pant and shirt the Steel Brigade vest may look decent on him too. Maybe just painting the one he has would fix it up.
L&O is so fucking righteous. I'm bummed I have to shave off his badge, and both his pistols being so close together is just cluttered.
Would have preferred that second head to that Nerf shotgun he came with, but whatevah, definitely need an army of those bastards.

Generalsjoes.com's reviews are very cool. It's nice to get some up close detailed pictures of the upcoming figures and accessories. I'm really looking forward to the next few waves and they can't get here fast enough!
On a side note... I have noticed a shift in what I like, or consider acceptable with my Joe figures. While I love the ARAH designs and whatnot, I'm steadily beginning to like a lot of the updated and more modern aesthetics than what I used to. Don't get me wrong, I love the new Sci-fi and Airtight figures, but I can't help but think what Sci-fi might look like in Olive Drab duds and Green Drab replacing the silver... I think a combination of old and new is ideal for my Joe figs now. POC wave 3 Snake Eyes is an excellent example, or the upcoming Storm Shadow figure. I REALLY like Sideshow's Joe line and how they've updated the figs. It's obvious that the POC wave 3 SE is heavily inspired by Sideshow's and I find myself referencing their figures to update mine.
Anyway, that was for free.

Likewise. 3-4 years ago all I wanted was updates to the originals, but now I find myself liking the more modern stuff a lot more.

I noticed that!
The badge is definitely an eyesore. I might try moving the gun and holster, that's on the vest, to the area where the badge is. I'll have to see the figure in hand though, before making that call. I would still like for him to have some kind of badge though.
I really like that L&O comes with a Galil. Supressed no less. That's an interesting choice of weapon for an MP, but it's pretty cool! I'm glad that Hasbro is really changing up the weapons.
I think I'm gonna move the radio over there. Might move the semi-auto to the lower flap of the flak jacket.
Gotta figure out a new weapon for him. I think the Galil is a novel choice, but it's not gonna work for me.
Maybe is Midget had sent that damn shotgun.

Law looks great! Sucks he did not get the other head. Now that raises the question for me, How would Renegades Firefly re-painted head sculpt look on him?
Could also see making an awesome Shockwave custom form law. Of course mix in some Shocktrooper parts.
Meh, on airtight never really liked him... Give me Sneak Peek!

I don't have a clue how to double quote - but I am with you all. Ever since I found this site I have moved towards the more modern military look. I didn't think I would want airtight at all. but will get at least one now and paint him up a bit. I want multiples odf Law for customizing for sure - no clue what I am gonna do with all the extra dogs...maybe make a sled team for Quinn.

Oh shit dude! I completley forgot about that! PM me your address and I'll send them out!
Can somebody steal a couple pics for me and post them here (crediting the source of course)? For whatever stupid reason GJs is blocked at my workplace.
I think Airtight, stripped of all his gear and with a repaint, perhaps a new set of lower legs, may make for a fairly versatile trooper.
I appreciate it, but hotlinking doesn't help me. Pics from blocked websites don't show up either. They'd have to be dropped in from photobucket or something like that. Sorry for the hassle.

I yelped a little when I saw that. That pic made my day fogger. Now I'm so riled up, I wanna go bang some random tramps. Thanks for that.
Yeah, that was pretty much just for you.
What I wanna know is, where the fuck was that hiding in that tiny plastic bubble?! Seriously, so stoked about Airtight now. He looks to be all-new tooling (he may share with some of the newer figures coming up) but I can't place it.
Techno-Viper seems to suffer from Low-Light vest/proportions from all the pics I've seen, but I'm highly excited for Airtight and Sci-Fi even more now. I'm going to be getting several definitive figures with these 30th guys.
Also, I expect to see TRU exclusives or some sort of repaints for a lot of these guys in Joe2 deco. Sorta like the repainted BBQ we got for the first film, etc. Maybe that's where we'll get some of the extra gear that went missing. (?)
I wouldn't mind seeing some repaints, as I think there are some good uses for the figures, as far as customs go. I hope they do better with the movie figures this time around. We really do need more new sculpts to update 25th figures. Most of the 25th sculpts don't compare to what we're getting now and a lot of the figures are in major need of an overhaul.

phew!...butthole, unclenched...
seriously, they look freaking great...so glad that Sci-Fi isn't neon green...its much more toned down...though hes missing some paint aps on his chest...
L&O, though cool, makes me miss a more accurately colored ARAH version
i just can't get over how PERFECTLY they got Airtight and Sci-Fi...sorta like Low Light, they are just amazing looking and really show that Hasbro can pull off perfection IF THEY WANT TO
Man, Law and Order is a better spec op custom base than Duke it looks, except for that badge, which could probably be shaved down and cover with a fodder pouch. The helmet looks modern enough with a repaint and goggles, comes with a radio. That dog will be part of Team Whiskey and may even go by Whiskey.
So is Airtight bacially the counter part of Hazard Viper?

Although the Hazard Viper wasn't around when the ARAH Airtight came out back in the day, Hasbro probably decided that, after making Hazard Viper and the Toxo-Zombie, it would be a good opportunity to do a 30th version of Airtight, since they seem perfect to go toe-to-toe against each other.
I don't think we'll see the wave that has AT, SF & L&O until early next year. I could be wrong, and hope I am, and they might come out in December, but I'm not for sure. I keep waiting for BBTS to put them up for pre-order so that I can have an idea of when they'll be coming out.
if at all...they'll be cancelled and forced into some crazy $$$$$$$ GIJCC set
HA!!! They'd have to dumb them down and paint them in shitty bright green and doo-doo brown colors !
Why in shit's name does Scarlett have such awful bug-eyes? Duke had similar eyes, but they weren't so bad. I mean, could they not afford the paint for the eyelash arch? Come on. I am not wanting to have to repaint all these damned eyes. Otherwise, I can't wait to get that Scarlett. She looks great, OMG-STARE aside.
