Thanks for the pics! But anyway to have an accessory breakdown on some of these guys?

I'm glad they fixed the swivel wrist, since the range of motion in the elbow can be expanded relatively easily by just trimming away a little excess off the cuff.

I think this will be easier to find at retail than many previous waves because they are getting away from the nostalgia of the v1's, save for Mutt and Croc Master.

Thanks for the pics!

I'm really surprised Duke still has a diaper. I saw con pics with him fixed.
And what's up with Wraith breaking as soon as you pose him? Are those guns and wires removable?
If I ever see him, I'll give Wraith an MJ upgrade.

WRaith I'm stilll on the fence about. The Para-Viper is still a must have for eme. These pics did bump up Croc Master who I wasn't interested in at all from previous previous pictures that were shown of him. Teh bite on the arm, teh tube on the back, and hte cro's opening mouth all make me want to pick him up when I see him.

Mutt is the must have for me, but he doesn't seem quite right in these picks.

The scar on the arm may be what puts me over the top on getting croc master.

Have we seen any pics (toy fair, convention, etc) with the Para Viper with no gear on? Paratroopers look cool, but I usually don't like them because how often do they have all their gear on? I'm interested to see how that fig looks once he's on the ground fighting.

I'm with Morian, I wanna know if that gear can even come off. Is it even possible to remove sections of it so he still has some of it when he's on the ground or is it all one big solid piece?

Also a bit curious about the forearm armor on Wraith. Do those come off or are they new forearms? Same with the guns, can they be removed? I know those wires are going as soon as I get mine.

How come Junkyard reminds me of this dog?

Croc Master, baby! A bite scar on his arm? Find me the Hasbro designer that came up with that and give him a big Bugs-Bunny-in-drag smooch for me.

If you love the guy who did that, then you'll love the designer who included Mutt's cheek scar & painted it pink.

I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not with the Tony Stark mention. I know hardly anything about the character Wraith, but considering his appearance it was logical for me to draw the connection to Iron Man. The face under the visor has a 'stache and looks strongly like it could be Stark.

If that was the intention then to me this is a far cooler cross-over (Iron Man/G.I. Joe) than Matt Trakker (MASK/G.I. Joe). Can't wait for the inevitable customizer repaints of Wraith in Iron Man colours.

I really don't remember what Wraith looks like. Wait, let me check the comics... OK, Wraith doesn't have any facial hair. He's actually blonde in the comics so I guess the Tony Stark reference is intentional.

See above. The Para-Viper's knife is removable. Just stuck with dried paint on mine.

The wires are VERY thin. And the arms are GLUED IN PLACE so they do not swivel but they bend at the elbows. I included a pic with the MJ P90.

The Para-Viper uses the Ace/Wild Bill flightsuit mold.

The Para-Viper gear is all one piece, like an inverted U, with no attachments at the waist so it just hangs over the figure's shoulders.

Wraith's gauntlets are cylindrical pieces over the Snake Eyes arms. They're not removable but they rotate around the forearms freely. The guns are glued to the gauntlets AND also to the upper arms. That's how I broke the wires.

Yes, Junkyard looks almost exactly like that.

Thanks for the updated pics!

I can't believe they sculpted a wang on Junkyard. :lol:

Great pics keep 'em coming!

Junkyard does look like Triumph, normally I love Triumph but not for G.I. Joe. I think when I was in Michaels picking up a proper 1:18 scale crocadile for Croc Master there were a bunch of 1:18 scale dogs too. Will have to thumb through the bins to get the more realistic plastic animal rottweiler.

The bite-scar on Croc Master's arm is all sorts of win, definitely will be getting these two figures!

Btw - anyone know if the folded-up whip from the Indiana Jones line comes with other figures in the line other than the deluxe figure with the ark? I much rather prefer the folded-up whip mold than this loose one they gave Croc Master, but spending $15 just for an accessory is a tad silly.
