13... sheesh...

I haven't even seen Wave 10 at retail yet...


Same here. I got my wave ten from BBTS, and that's the only way I would have seen them in person at this rate.

But, those figures are awesome. I hate to admit it, but I think that Duke is an awesome looking figure. I also love Firefly, simply because it's Firefly. I'll pick it up and keep it on card. Blowtorch and the Cobra Trooper are wins as well.

Yeah Duke, Blowtorch, and the cobra trooper are all kinds of pwnage.

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.

Articulation/body style is no different than the Anniversary stuff. In fact if you look closely at the Resolute COBRA Commander, he uses the same torso as the Anniversary COBRA Commander. The other two are just wearing vests.

I like them all except for Firefly.

Cobra Trooper should be what they look like in the movie with any justice.

I would really love a military green repaint of Blowtorch someday.

I will buy every single one of those Dukes and Troopers I see in the store, they look too cool and can be used for all sorts of fodder. I for one am liking this new look, so bring it on Hasbro!

I could see a GI Joe vs Cobra green and gold Blowtorch in the cards.

I like Duke and the Trooper alot. May build a squad of them too. I could even see getting multiple Dukes for customs.
Firefly is meh. Its nice that he's coming with the comic backpack, but I've got enough Fireflys.
What was interesting is that it looks like one of the shadowed coming soon figs is Lt. Falcon. I hope they fix him.

I'm holding onto hope that's in the cards for us someday.

I HATE yellow and Blowtorch from 1984 puts some of the Battle Corps to shame on the scale of obnoxious color schemes.

Trooper: Body alright but head is bland.
Commander: Bland all around.
Torch: Looks like Crap. Horrible paint job. Say hello to the new peg warmer.
Blow Torch: Average and nice nod to the earlier figure.
Firefly: Different color. Wake me up when they give him new arms and torso.
Duke: Look bland and plain but his head looks promising. Might worth getting just for the new sculpt new.

Other than Blowtorch all the others, if I get them, will be used for lbcustoms.

I love that Cobra Trooper and Duke! Finally they both look like actual soldiers. The only problem now is what to do with the vintage styled ones? The 82 styled Cobras are going to look goofy next to that guy.

I'm hoping that CC is close in color to the comic pack CC. I think I could make my definitive Cobra Commander from those two if they are.

Big bad toy store has them in stock now...

I was surprised that my pre order went though already when the estimated ship date was Jan.

Since I started collecting back with JvC, I've yet to get a Duke figure I liked. I've never been a fan of the character so a figure of him has to be really cool for me to even pay attention to him, that Duke figure, is my new default Duke. I feel like there's finally a Duke worth owning and using. Aside from the Torch and Firefly I'll be picking up the wave, especially the cobra troopers in numbers if I can find them....I've yet to see a full wave 10.
