The Mouse figure has one of the better head sculpts I've seen in the GI Joe line that's based on a real actor.

So does only one figure have ankle articulation? I can only see it on the parachuting bulls eye.



All the ones I posted do, except for maybe Airborne.

Unless they changed those wonderful Super SE legs....!

Mouse looks like he has the Joe Trooper feet, so unless they retooled it, those should be the rocker ankles. I really can't tell on the Firefly.

Yup, 8 months and these bad boys (those 2 ninja fags excepted) are gonna be 20 bucks at TrU.

Oh, well. When you have nothing but your hobby the "Look, I over-payed to have the figure a few months earlier than everyone else" is what happens.

Unless they get axed. Then I'll look like the tool.



Firefly uses the PoC SE legs, so unless they retooled it's there. Mouse is a Joe Trooper with new head and arms, so again, unless they retooled a brand new set of molds they're articulated, too.

Even if they got canned it's still too much. The seller will just have that many more for less. Just look at Rip Cord with the wings. He's $10. It just comes down to people paying too much to boast.

I bet the Night Viper sees $100 when it is finally hits one of these sellers.

You're right, it is their money. Doesn't make them any smarter just because they have it.

Hey, KT. I'll be willing to trade some Para-troopers to you for Firefly, if and when I get some... **shakes fist at Paramount**

Anyone not wanting STs I will gladly take them off your hands. You're on you own for SS.

Though I COULD do something with the legs and feet...

Generals Joes is reporting that the Airborne body is from Data Viper. He anyone could tell is beyond me, but there you go.

Awesome!

Now I just need to think of a paint scheme for them. May just keep them as paras.


Legs? most definitely. The rest? Can't say. Hasbro swore up and down that he wasn't tooled up.

Wow, late to the game.

Firefly, Airborne and even Mouse look decent. Mouse, if only for the new base body and new head and helmet. I couldn't give a shit less about the vest or actor likeness, but a new sculpt is a new unique Joe!

That Firefly is beautiful, and Airborne looks pretty slick, too.

A bit of plastic that in all likelihood will be on every TrU and Target shelf come February.

Even if the three pack doesn't happen I can't see them NOT releasing that in whatever post Retaliation PoC-like line.

I just hope when they release him, he still looks exactly like that...not recolored to blue or black or green etc etc...
