Zombies, zombies, zombies. People may [LASER BLAST] about them, but they sell.

Ninjas, same reasoning.

Replace the Night Creeper with a ninja in green camo, though. I'll take Ninja Master Harry/Gordon over a Night Creeper any day.
Not hating on the Night Creeper idea, but the chest piece just doesn't work on newer torsos, because the torso it was designed with was one of the shortest one.
Also I don't like the two-piece head. If they do a Night Creeper I'd rather see some sort of do-over instead of a newer body with the same old pieces.

I think the zombie set looks like a lot of fun. But beyond the skull-headed Ninja (which would be easy to kitbash) there isn't much new in the ninja set. Especially post-Retalliation, which has ninjas in every assortment. I don't know how well that would sell.

I'm thinking the same thing. Nothing on the ninja side really jumps out at me besides the skull head guy.

The zombies look interesting but by the time they come out, it'd be a few years after the peak of their popularity. In a way it kind of feels like they missed the boat on that one due to changing stuff around for the movie. It's a great idea that could have been explored further, but timing might be off on it.

Honestly, I'd rather see more updates to vintage vehicles. I get that most of the better small stuff has already been done, but what about the medium-large vehicles?

You could well say the same about the zombie set. Beyond CC, just cut up the base Joe's removable gear, slap on Zombie-Viper's arms and bash the base joe and the zombie heads together.

Also, there's plenty new. The Beast Ninja and the Snake Ninja Master are very original ideas and their Dice trumps the FSS one all the way. The Dark Ninja Master also complements the upcoming single-carded black ninja very nicely.

The Dark Ninja Master is one that, while it looks cool, would be nice if it looked more like its Sigma Six version. Which would mean getting those masks

If only that Dark Ninja Master even slightly resembled the original S6 DNM...

If the Micro Force miniatures are any indication of what's coming up full-sized, we may get two devil-masked ninjas in the vein of the Sigma Six Dark Ninja Master.

Take the Zombie set further, have the sculpt actually have the body damage, and hide it using the gear.
Throw in a extra Zombie head for each figure, and you have a Multi-role pack.

Flint, Lady Jaye, Kwinn, and Data Viper are at the top of my list.
Followed by Hit N Run, Dark Ninja Master, Urban Ninja (Night Creeper Update) and the Blue Ninja Monk.
It looks like they have enough fodder for some 7 packs there. It'd be nice if they did something like that to tide us over until 2013.

I liked alot of the figures I saw. i don't really want the ninjas or the zombies much but i like the updated look of the other guys, more liking the joes and cobras new look

Whats a RAVENS WING and NOMAD TROOPER?

I'd like to add PoC Clutch and this bike oh, and Renegades Storm Shadow.

I'd like to see everything, but if I had to start cutting, the Ninja stuff would be the first to go.

Then the zombies (though I'd still get a kick out of a seven-pack of them).

I could live without Flint and Lady Jaye if I had to, but now that I've seen Kwinn and Hit and Run and the H.E.A.T-Viper, my collection won't be complete until they are mine.
