Isn't there also a new Black Widow - maybe in the Ultimates' verse? I'm not up to speed on my comics, but I read something while browsing the July issue of Wizard magazine.

Yep. Have both. The Eel is a bit disappointing for me (Torpedo body, new vest and head) but I love the Elite Viper. It's the only movie Cobra troop I can see myself getting multiples of. Maybe use them as Black Dragons . . . it doesn't hurt that they come with the most realistic weapons of any of the movie Cobras either, two MP-5s and a nifty hammer/axe tool. Plus a working holster (though he comes with the same funky pistol all the Cobras do).

Kinda sucks that all the stuff I really want are in the waves that haven't hit in quantity yet.

There is a Black Widow in the Ultimate-Verse. For a while she had her own suit of Stark Armor and everything.

Awesome! I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for him then. And I'm surprised nobody has noticed that the Elite Viper's melee weapons is pretty much a Lobotomizer.

Only 1 Target had every thing on the 5, the rest had a red "comeing soon " sign in the area, but none of the WM has any thing out yet, But when i was standing there looking at the figures iyt did fell liike i was a kid agin seeing that much Joe at one time.

I hit a Target (North Hollywood) and TRU (Burbank) today and got pretty much all the fodder I wanted from this line. All totaled I snagged 30 figures and a Cobra Gunship. I'm just looking for a few figures (Destro, the Doctor, Helix, Hawk) and maybe another Gunship and I'm good.

Passed on the Night Raven though I might get one later, as well as the Alpha vehicles. Though the Snow Job vehicle was very tempting but at $16 for custom fodder (it would have been stripped of those spring-loaded launchers) I passed.

Saw the PITT at both places and damn if it isn't huge! I've read about it and seen the pictures but until you see this thing in front of you and reach out and touch the box the size just doesn't sink in. I'd like to have one just to see what I could do customizing it but $100 is pretty steep right now.

I'm on vacation in Maryland and we went to a Target today. Picked up regular Snake Eyes and accelerator suit Ripcord. I'm surprised that there's no love for SE. Pretty cool figure, and the midwaist joint is really well-hidden on it. Ripcord is easily one of the coolest toys ever made. Also picked up a $1.74 25th CC, but just for the red crystal.

I hit a TRU and 2 Targets. The Targets had stuff, the TRU didn't.
I got Shippy, both Scarletts, Cover Girl, and Snake Eyes. Desert Ambush Scarlet was the rarest, as I only saw 1 between all 3.

I found the RA Scarlet and Duke Wave, probably my favorite so far. I love this Duke and I bought another to head swap and Scarlett is the interim Black Widow. Paris SE and SS are great too, love 'em or hate 'em but these new Joes have really reinvigorated more collector drive.
