Thanks, man! :-D

I really, really, really like that Duke.

However, I'm no fan of that CC and the LOLHUEG "Resolute" art gets a big thumbs down from me. I will say that the Trooper looks interesting and I await clearer out of pack photos.

Duke - Well if we gotta have 35 different versions at least this ones new and not bad. But I will probably pass unless I fodderize him.
Cobra Commander - He has some nice gear Like the helmet and the skirt and the shaw. I will probably get him for fodder.
Cobra Trooper - Not bad, In a way this is how Troopers shoulda been. Flak jackets and pads. But he lacks a Cobra symbol. I might get one.. Maybe...
Torch - The comic Pack torch was better IMO Pass
Firefly - Looks pretty kool but I like my ninjafied sabbituars with more armor and/or padding.. Might make great fodder.
Blowtorch - Looks like a winner. Might even say a must get. While I would have rather seen Ripcord, Blowtorch is nice also and woulda been on my wishlist (After Ripcord)

Anyhow, my 2 cents as they appear in these pictures.

Is it just me, or does the artwork for Cobra Commander make him look like he's slipping on a banana peel? :roll:

I like Duke but don't have a need for him unless its fodder.

CC is nice, will likely get.

Cobra trooper is nice, I can see myself getting a few.

Blowtorch x2, one loose one MOC.

Torch is weak but I want one MOC for the wall.

Firefly is a complete pass unless I need fodder.

Fairly lukewarm for me

Torch - well despite how aweful he looks in these colours, I'm picking one up to satisfy my '83 - '87 MOC collection. Even though I know they modified the original cardback artwork, it's still nice and well - a single carded Ripper and Torch will get me buying so that I can add them to the single-carded Buzzer and Zartan.

Firefly - like the cardback artwork but very unecessary figure. Pass

Cobra Trooper - again, nice pose on the artwork, figure looks pretty fit too. I'm not a fan of the new head or helmet, I got him in DVD Pack 5 and it's just too big when compared with the other troopers

Cobra Commander - nice, not into Resolute though. I'm glad for the fans that like their joes down and dirty and realistic as possible, but I still like my hoaky, innocent sunbow cartoon version.

Duke - see above

Blowtorch - getting two, one to keep MOC to keep my 83'-'87 MOC quota going, and one loose because he's so badass.

So in a way I'm greatful to be saving some doe. Wave 12 I'll only pick up a carded Ripper for completist-sake, so the money I've saved will surely fund the Stinger, Moccassin, SkyHawk, Outback, and the 5-pack Joes & Cobras redux!

It's a little hard to tell from these pics, but that Firefly might make a good base for a DD style Shipwreck custom.

I'm thrilled about that new Duke.
He looks very functional so is that new trooper. I'll have to build a small squad of them.
Again that Blowtorch figure rocks.

I'm digging the duke, what's up with his near-arm length elbow pads though?
The trooper and the rest are all nice.
Looks like Torch is kinda bland.

Does the Cobra Trooper have a Cobra logo on the helmet? I can't tell because of the glare on the figure.

Not a bad wave.

Resolute stuff looks enough like my other figures to fit into the collection while different enough to make a squad of blue shirts that will standout a bit compared to my other squads.

Like Spin Doctor said Firefly looks like he'd be an easy custom to make a Devils Due style Shipwreck with.

Heck I might even get that Duke which is a bit of a change for me not to be fussing about oh no not another Duke.

Does anyone know how those Resolute torsos are constructed? They look to be one piece. If they've moved the swivel down to the waist then this is a very good thing.

If they've removed the waist swivel and made it all one piece - that is a very bad thing...

...for which they will be punished at retail.

That said, if they do have swivel torsos, I am very interested in that Duke. It's the first one that I've liked in a very long time.

They all have vests on so the articulation is hidden. I've been liking the figures like that since I never have liked that upper torso articulation the way Hasbro has done them. The "man boobs" look.

I like what I see. The troopers look perfect. Cobra Commander has too much of a Darth Vader look, but I still like him. Duke looks good as well and if they have to make another one I prefer something thats totally new like this. Torch and Firfly are both a pass. Blowtorch of course is a must have.
