No. It was found on an Asian auction site.

I like the Breaker Figure, Shipwreck, Scarlet.. I dont like the viper at all. Roadblock is kinda kool, to bad its heavy dutied all over.

The thing with Breaker, if compared to the original, no he lacks alot, hes not even close. But as a Modern age Breaker update, not bad. Only complaint is he seems to be a frenchy. Nothing against the french, just I never pictured breaker anything but the way he was depicted in comic and cartoon.. Kinda slightly hick with a touch of humor.

The figures look more Valor vs Venom than like the 25th figures. I know there was likely a bit of a rush to have things ready for a pre-movie push, but somehow the quality just doesn't look up to the standards I've sort of grown to expect out of the Joe line now.

Between movie lines for Transformers and GI Joe it looks like I can save a bit of money now. At least on the bright side for the GI Joe line though I do think there are some of the figures that I will be getting. Just such a mixed bag of oh wow that looks cooler than I expected and no thanks.

Agreed. They may have overworked the 25th line's sculptors with these, even if there is some parts overlap with the regular 25th line.

I'm wondering how good these will look in pics with better resolution though.

Not sure but I'm sure we will see bigger better resolution pictures at some point that will give us a better idea. Plus I still want to see them in person before I decide one way or the other because I've seen lots of figures that looked kind of bad on the internet but looked really cool in person.

Well according to that OTHER site that now seems to think they're Harry Knowles, the pics are coming next week. Supposedly Hasbro doesn't want these online, but I think that site is just pulling the same thing that stupid "Ain't it cool" site does.

Anyway, for sure Toy Fair will have images up. That's next Sunday til the 18th, so we're in for a lot of images next week. Lots of stuff that'll make our wallets scream.

I kind of like the figures. They look pretty much like hwat I figured. I'm sure I'll get them as long as I have the money to do so.

If you check the file names, he is meant to be a different person. Maybe the Action Force version:

Quote:

Biography
Name: Brazzi: Gianni, Paulo
Code Name: 'Breaker'
Serial Number: AF 396668
Born: Milan, Italy
Primary Military speciality: Communications
Secondary Military Speciality: Infantry

Battle hardened soldier who has served in most NATO armies. Very much his own man and hates training. Knows his equipment inside out and expert at using communication satellite network secretly. A radio ham in his spare time and has chess partners all over the world.

"Breaker's seen it all before and reckons you can't teach an old dog new tricks."

I'm guessing the Viper Commando is based on some design in the Destro Heritage, likely how Destro escapes or survives the movie, however would be a decent base for RangeVipers/Skullbuster

Zartan master of ballcaps and headswaps, just for lols I'd like to see him trying to sneek out of the base and get coldcocked by Rock n Roll

I like Shipwreck, I hope he's in the movie, even if it's a simple "look what I found" pulling someone out of the ocean *insert piratey sounding quip here*

I see the accelerator suits being the line in the sand for alot of the stuck in 1984 fans, If that's the case they should hate anything past year four when the direction went for a drasticly less military theme and more colorful and characterized series

I will not likely pick up all of them but mearly a squad of those I like.

It'll be a lot sooner than that. The Hasbro showroom tour is this Saturday the 14th. There will be a metric ton of pics and info starting this weekend.

I don't like the spring loaded launchers, but I can toss those like a lot of accessories. These don't look bad. The things I don't like about them are things that I don't like about the design in the movie. Not crazy for blue camo. Not crazy for the Viper. But they look well sculpted. They look a lot better than the upcoming Star Trek stuff, and those two were what I was looking forward to the most this summer. I'll get them.

Definitely liking Heavy Duty, and I can see some Coil/IG/Black Dragon customs out of that Ripcord body. Yup, looks like I'm not saving any money with the movie stuff.

I am still planning to seriously cut back my spending, and other than Zartan, nothing here has really influenced me to alter that plan, other than the Baroness, which was always on my list anyway.

One of the older alleged script reviews claimed that Shipwreck was operating an underwater carrier like sub. But who really knows at this point?
