Ah. Meh... They can keep it.

I just don't get the love for that v2 Storm Shadow.

In fact, with the "ultimate" version already slated, I kind of wish they'd promise never to make another version of hat character.

That Beach Head, however, is the awesome!

I dig the v2 Stormy mostly for nostalgia's sake. Kilcarr hooked me up with the DG version (which is my favorite look for Stormy), and I already had the 30A version, so this would complete the trifecta for all three ARAH figs I had as a kid.

Beach is awesome - and such a no-brainer that I'm surprised he wasn't done this way in the Retaliation 3pk.

Not really feeling any of the Cobras except Destro, though. The Joes all pretty much rock, and while R&R's headsculpt is great, but the rest of the fig is pretty blah, imo.

I'd like to see most of these, but I preferred a lot of the figures from the previous Concept Vault display to any of these guys. Gung-Ho is my favorite of this bunch, followed by the Beach-Head (who I seem to remember appearing in the previous CV), Rock'N'Roll, Leatherneck, and V2 Storm Shadow. I'm indifferent to the HEAT-Viper, and the Raven's Wing is a cool enough figure, but nothing I'd miss. I really, really don't like that Destro, though; not sure why, but I'm not into it at all. I hope they all get made, because it seems like there's at least a little interest in each of them; that said, give me the Hit & Run, Flint, and Clutch from the first round and I'll be thrilled.

if i had to pick one i'd pick destro or leatherneck, but it's kind of pointless to get leatherneck made without a better wetsuit made or a devilfish

pretty much agree on both counts.





i love the dreadnoks and keep wishing they would make more but i dont like that at all. to me the noks are a gang not an army, there shouldnt be any lookalike generic green shirt type troopers. there especially shouldnt be any pawn soldiers all wearing thrashers shirts. but its still not as lame as those dreadheads.

all are good but GH is my 1st choice, we need a new detailed muscular looking one. RNR is my next choice I like a new look for him as well and destro does need to be a bigger figure like they did here as well. Hopefully we get these great lookinfg figures. Beach head the CP one is good enough for me though

I definitely want that Gung Ho! That figure deserves to exist on its own merits, and it seems criminal that a major character like him has had nothing but significantly flawed releases in modern construction (the odd sculpting and crappy angled hand of the 25th version, and the shortness of the ROC/Resolute version).

Flint and Lady Jaye weren't on the list, though I'm not sure why - Beach Head, HEAT-Viper, and Raven's Wing were in last year's case too. Both of them are on my "definite" list as well.

My next tier would include Leatherneck, HEAT-Viper, and 1988 Storm Shadow. I'm generally ok with the Club's Leatherneck from the Mission Brazil II set, though this one is definitely more accurate to the original and looks really good. The HEAT-Viper would be in a higher tier if I were more interested in army-building the later year RAH Vipers, but I definitely like the sculpt and would like to have one to display with the 1989 and 1990 army builders. Storm Shadow's 1988 outfit is very iconic and should be done correctly - neither the 2007 version nor the movie homage versions are good representations.

I like the Rock 'n Roll head sculpt a lot, but I think the body is not bulky enough to work for the character. I don't mind Destro, but I also feel that the 25th version generally holds up fine despite the weird hands and the single-joint knees. Beach Head is nice too, and I did actually vote for it, but I feel that the 25th comic pack version is generally acceptable too.

Raven's Wing is decent, but I have no real idea how I'd use the figure.

Overall, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if all of these see release.

Leatherneck. He's become one of my favorite characters in the last few years. I'd love an actual good version of him.

For anyone wondering why the concept vault Flint is needed, I offer this:

1. Webgear that fits. The 25th webgear was a good first attempt but the stuff on the concept case figure is more detailed and fits on the torso more snugly.

2. Articulation. The concept vault Flint uses the updated tilting wrists and is based on well articulated 30th anniversary parts.

3. Weapons. A knife sheath at his boot and at his belt. Two knives! Plus a pistol and who knows what else on his back.

Be sure to take GeneralsJoes survey too. http://generalsjoes.com/2013/04/15/conc ... onvention/

I haven't been able to snag an "ultimate ss" yet, but I do like SS v2. And he seems to be a different sculpt.
I also like Beachehad (even though he's a SE54 repaint) Gung Ho and Leatherneck. Destro, Heat Viper and Flint I'm on the fence. I'm not a fan of Lady Jaye.

people are saying the lady jaye and flint are actually from the last vault reveal, i somehow missed that one are there any links to it?
