Ninjas look lame. Sure comic enthusiasts will like it, but that one I actually thought was Lifeline from the thumbnail. Beachhead's arms look too skinny. Also, the alt-head isn't Beachhead to me, but it is a good trend.

The only pack I would buy is the Scrap/Wildbill pack.... and as always, if I see it. Only new product I'm seeing is the MASS sets.

Boy that is crappy. I viewed the pics on my phone.

The fang/claw pack is cool but the viper is fugly. Meaning I'll only get 2. That'll show hasbro!

Hey, that's great.

I'm thinking the FANG and CLAW pilots will be getting head swaps from me.

I'm really looking forward, to that Wild Bill. I love those colors, and he gets a helmet. Scrap Iron makes for a pretty cool bonus. Always wanted his figure, when I was a id.

Man, there's a whole lot of butt-ass ugly going on with this assortment. I could easily pass on everything I see.

What's up with the CLAW? It looks like a single-mold pressout piece like them crummy CRAPS gliders with nothing underneath.

For the vehicles I like the FANG changes, the claw's weak and all the figures stink. All of them.

For the comics, I don't get the weird Beachhead had and they should have updated Mainframe with a portable computer that uses modern technology. Neither of those disk formats have any relevance. [/computer nerd moment] The Hard Master accessories rock, the figures not so much. Wild "I've got a pea sized head" Bill is useless, Scrap-Iron's kinda cool.

Not a large margin of "successes" in this batch.

What's up with the retro Beach Head?

I know it's accurate to the original but... do we really want that? Especially since the first 25A version fixed everything wrong with the original.

That comic pack Beach Head is so accurate to the original it even has a rounded mellon head.

Mixed bag all around.

I actually like the simplicity of the SE. I'm not sure I care for the way they did Hard Master though. He'd work better as a different character. I'll probably pick this one up.

I don't need another Wild Bill at the moment. The fact that the Wild Bill single pack is heating up the pegs right now probably doesn't help him any either. As for Scrap Iron, I was excited to see what they would do with him for the 25th, but now that I've seen him, I'm kind of meh. He's accurate, I'll give Hasbro that, but he's also a bit blah.

Pass on the Beach/ Mainframe pack. I'm just not interested in another Beachhead, so I'd basically be paying $10 for a Mainframe. He's just not an important enough character.

Leatherneck and the AWE: I actually like the AWE color scheme. I didn't pick up the Target exclusive with Crankcase, since the vehicle was way too close to the original (and I've already got two of those), but this new scheme looks interesting. The Leatherneck looks like a fail though. Buzzer body and Duke arms. This pack is a big maybe.

That Fang and CLAW pack is a real mixed bag. I like the Fang, but the CLAW looks like something out of a cereal box. And the figures? Who did the color scheme on that Viper? They should have done a grey version of him like the TRU pack from the late 90s.

All in all, nice to see new stuff, but I don't know how much of it I'll be getting.

I'll pass on Brazil Leatherneck & the Ninjas.
I like everything else. I'm getting rid of v1 Wild Bill for this cartoon version! I even like Beachhead & Mainframe . Beachhead's arms might have been better if they were Cobra Trooper or Dusty arms. Heck it is easy enough to replace Mainframe's computer with a PTE one from Marauder John. Therefore I like that he comes with some of his original gear.
The FANG Viper is going to be my custom PP Viper.

If anyone doesn't want their CLAWS, let me know, I have an idea for them....

Have to agree with several on here, the CLAW is a major disappointment. It looks very cheap.

Hrm...surprised by what I like and don't this go-round.

Much as I hate melon heads, that Beach Head is pretty cool. And I like that he's got the alternate unmasked noggin. Mainframe, who was never a fave of mine, is also enticing.

Comic pack Wild Bill in the comic/toon colors is really appealing to me for some reason. No clue why. All I know is I'm tempted to replace the v1-faithful version I have now. Scrap Iron, who I was eagerly awaiting, leaves me a little cold (I think it's the legs...they could've gone a different direction).

I've been geeked about Hard Master since I heard we were getting him, but I'm juist not digging the final figure at all. Oddly enough, it's the super-generic ninja version of the way overexposed Snake Eyes that I'm looking most forward to.

And even more odd, my usual affinity for odd repaints of troop builders (which I usually use as squad leaders) is completely untweaked by the figures in the FANG/CLAW pack. The Viper, especially, almost angers me...just the sight of him.

Leatherneck doesn't bug me so much. I'll probably try to get rid of that shoulder pad. But I like the basic idea of the figure.

I like all three. Although Hard Master and Wild Bill are on the lame side of things. But I like Beachhead and Dataframe

the Cobra set sorta has a "Team USA " look to it .
