Nice.
The Snake eyes must be from a comic pack. Maybe vs Night Creeper.
He doesn't have the right mask and shoulder plates to be Resolute.

I can't wait to add these to the ranks.

We need ETAs.

As cool as these figures look, I will still pass on them. I think the Monkeywrench using Outbacks head is just wrong unless maybe they give him glasses.

But still good to see that we will be getting more than just the movie crap.

Ohhh Emmm Geeee are you serious? Monkeywrench! I didn't think he'd see the light of day. So far he'd be the only one I'm picking up to complete my 25th dreadnocks - where's his shades!>?

I see a ton of potential mixed in to that group of pics. Some straight to my son's collection, some as great custom starters.

Thanks for posting the link to those pictures.
I'm sure I'm in the minority here but the more I see of those gray camo movie figures the more I like them. To me they capture the spirit of what I liked so much about the original 13. While they don't all look the same they still have a very unified look and appear to all belong to a single unit. With the exception of Scarlett I'll be passing on all the accelerator suits and black bodysuited movie figures but the others I'll be picking up. Although, I will say right now that the movie "Ripcord" that was shown in those pictures will be getting a head change and becoming my movie Stalker.
Thanks again for the link.

If I get one of the accelerator suit figs, it will be to make an alternate version of my Batman. Or other similary clothed customs. I don't see using those suits as joes though, I agree.

I also agree that on some of the figures the new camo looks good. I think it depends a lot on what comes with the figure. Overall, I love the Resolute figs the most though.

I am liking the movie figure more and more. Not necessarily as the intended characters, but the uniform look (like betabob said) appeals to me as a fan of the O13. They will blend in better with other relaistic modern military figures out there (BBI, 21st Cent, Unimax).

The Resolute figures are nice as well. The toon made me want more, and has me rethinking my decision to return Resolute CC to the store.

movie Desert Duke


HMM bit of a blandness to him as I have been expecting from most of the Movie figs, pass.

Quote:
Depth Charge? then he is pictured with this vehicle Not another Deep Six!

I know I have heard some wild speculations on this fig (Movie Strato Viper was one). Not a big fan either way so pass.

Quote:
Resolute Roadblock


Very Meh, pass

Quote:
Lt. Stone


Will get more for character than anything else.

Quote:
Dusty


HMMM, not sure, but is rather bland, pass

Quote:
Zartan in disguise stealing an accelerator suit?


Interesting, on maybe list.

Quote:
Barrel Roll comes with the Silver Mirage Image


Not impressed with design here, pass.

Quote:
2nd row movie Duke


Really not impressed with the accelerator suit design, looks scrawny pass.

Quote:
movie Hawk


If he is single carded yes, just cause of Quad though.

Quote:
Second picture
:rangeviper: 7 pack Range Viper {awesome using TR holster with removable gun!}


Less impressed than I thought I would be with this figure, The VvV mask is part of it but overall the design is just not as dynamic as the original.

Quote:
movie Duke convoy ambush minus vest


Is it me or is there just something odd about the Duke head, not sure why I didn't notice until now.

Quote:
:tunnelrat2: Night Force Tunnel Rat Image


Wasn't too happy with this fig the first time, repaint isn't helping.

Quote:
resolute Snake Eyes?


He is interesting, but not sure I want another Snake Eyes after the Paris Pursuit one.

Quote:
Resolute Wild Bill


My least favorite 25th mold repainted, easy pass

Quote:
movie Zartan in disguise


EXTREAMLY ordinary, easy pass.

Quote:
movie Elite Viper (doesn't he resemble a Track Viper to you too?)url=http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr209/Autobot_Goldbug/eliteviper.jpg]Image[/url]


I am hopeing that isn't the elite viper, The Viper and Viper Commando are more stunning than this, if it is easy pass.

Quote:
2nd row Resolute Flint


Could be, Interesting design depends on how they paint it up and accessorize.

Quote:
:zap: 7 pack Zap


WOW, talk about accentuating the flaws, that strap makes the chest hump look worse than ever, big pass.

Quote:
Resolute Destro


AWESOME! Even better than the movie one IMO, Will hold out for this, I like this much much more than the movie rendition.

Quote:
Resolute Gung-Ho


Looks like a repaint of V2 Roadblock arms at least (if not whole figure) easy pass.

Quote:
movie Scarlett


Her accelerator suit does look alot better than the boys version, Surprizingly less scrawny, will most likely snag.

Quote:
movie Airborne


Another Repaint, another easy pass.

Quote:
Aero-Viper or Strato-Viper with Diamondback or single card Night Adder?


UUUUUGLY, what the heck happend here, Probably my least favorite of the figs pictured, pass.

Quote:
Third picture
:wetsuit: 7 pack Wet-Suit prototype


Hard to say but it looks like there is a beard on the face, kind of resembles shipwreck, will move on.

Quote:
:bat: battle damaged BAT


Very much like this one, have since it first came up.

Quote:
movie Ripcord


That face and headsculpt really turn me off, easy pass.

Quote:
:lamprey: 7 pack Lamprey


Gotta say I really do not like this design.

Quote:
Resolute Barbeque or Shockblast would make more sense


Either way, that design just does nothing for me. is it me or is there something funky with the eyes going on there.

Quote:
:nightcreeper: repainted Night Creeper from comic pack


What is up with the head, is that some kind of helmet they added, don't like it, but hopefully it is removeable. But didn't recognize him at first until I looked at the equipment.

Quote:
:recondo: 7 pack Recondo


There is just something goofy about that face sculpt, pass.

Quote:
2nd row Dusty


Bland again, Plus why is a desert trooper wearing urban camo (I know probably movie related, rehtorical remark there).

Quote:
:monkeywrench: Monkeywrench 2x from comic pack


Me no like not one bit, pass.

Quote:
repaint Copperhead from comic pack


The more CH gets painted the less I like him. I was fine the first time, easy pass.

Quote:
Night Force Chuckles


Is an ok design but Chuckles is not my fav character, so pass.

Quote:
:chuckles: 7 pack Chuckles


See above.

Quote:
Resolute Dial-Tone


I actually like this design, but not as dial tone, if I pick up will be a different character.

Overall, Extreamly disapointed in the level of repaints going into the apparent movie line. There are a lot here (at least over half) while I am ok with resuing parts, just seems like a lack of imagination (as there are many straight repaints, or straight repaints with just headswaps).

Destro and Dial Tone really stick out here as they are fresh and "new" feeling. Destro definatly is a step in a direction I like, new look but keeps the core of the character. While Dial tone does the opposite, she still has an interesting design that is very useable.

There are also lots of places where I feel they dropped the ball (Recondo, Monkeywrench) and just a bit of tweeking could have made an interesting and dynamic figure vs an ordinarly or flawed figure. They are doing much better on at least hiding the chest joint but some figures (zap) actually make it look worse. Huge design flaw that shouldn't be a factor any more.

Very disapointing

I'm really digging the resolute figs.
I do like the gray camo figs too. But the repaints annoy me.

So I guess there are a bunch of protos and test shots in this mix.
Oh I'm gonna be broke.

Is it just me or does the Airbourne with the new firebat have a "Christian Bale" looking head?

either way alot of cool figs in there, at least for the resolute and 7packs, not sold on the movie figs, maybe just the 25th repaints of non-movie characters.


* 2nd picture far right corner.. is that Freefall from the 7 pack?

When I saw the thumbnail for the Wetsuit with the clear head I thought Hasbro was giving us some sort of Time Traveler Micronaut. Some pretty cool figures mixed in there.

I think Airborne has the same head as his previous release. And it's funny you say this. I was painting it a lighter fleshtone last night for a custom. I didn't see Bale in him so much, but with that comb-over I actually thought to myself he'd make for a great classic Bruce Wayne look.

Not one but two Chuckles? I'm happy. Not thrilled about the gloves though.
