Just saw this at hisstank.com - this POD boxset isn't looking too shabby.

I've more or less skipped the others because I'm not interested in building the MASS Device or weather dominator (besides they will surely be on eBay complete when everything is released). Only picked up Lady Jaye, and will pick up Dusty.

But this one looks awesome. Quick Kick to fill out my 1985 roster, a cartoon accurate Snake Eyes and Major Bludd (who is miles better than his single card release). Definitely a must-buy for me.

Hey, is that a non-pooched Major Bludd? Or is his arm still jacked all up?

Awesome!
This is a must have on my list.

Woot!

_________________

not sure if it's articulated or not but I'm really liking the colours used - correct torso this time around (with what parts exist currently) - and no Zartan legs either. This Bludd is all win for me - but can anyone see his dog-tags?

i have a single carded bludd's dogtags for sale...


JK.

Quickick and Snakeyes are the big winners. Bludd is cool... I'm tired of Cobra Commander.

WOW!! That cartoon-correct Bludd is almost worth the purchase price alone.

and y'know i really dont mind the purplish Snake Eyes either - he has correct ankle thingies and correct v2 sword. And he's cartoon accurate in colour and I'm a big fan of the cartoons so he's all win again.

Probably will be my definitive Snake Eyes - so I can buck the trend of those all-black SEs.

Pretty sure these DVD box sets are the Best Joe product to hit shelves since at least 1991.


Not only am I excited to build my Mass Devices...But the Snake Eyes from the Mass Device box set is awesome.

Destro from the Revenge of Cobra set is the best 25th Anny Destro yet....and Lady Jaye from the same set is by far and above the best Lady Jaye ever...about the only way to improve Lady Jaye would be to give her swivel wrists...


Pretty sure that POD Bludd has a retooled arm and new lower legs...There were pics of the hard Copy shown at SDCC. The Commander is another one for the bin but The other 3 in that set will for sure stay in my collection.

just a comment on the poses for these official Hasbro pictures. Wouldn't the product sell itself more if they were posed dynamically instead of the at-attention-gun-in-hand-extended, these are afterall super poseable action figures right?

I guess the photographer and assistant(s) don't really give two hoots about this job as long as they get paid. Would it have killed them to have Quick Kick in a kicking pose?

_________________

Don't be silly. They save those action poses for the box so it warps their legs and arms. It's better that way.

I still really like this set, even though I'm not crazy about Quick Kick's hand. I love that Snake Eyes.

That SE might become my definitive SE as well.
Why didn't we get those nunchuks for Storm Shadow?

I need to start buying those DVD sets to build my Mass device already.

I don't think they want you looking at these photos for all too long... otherwise your eyes will end up looking like quickkicks'

Man, I hope Quick Kick gets a single card release. He's really the only one from the set I want.

I don't need another Cobra Commander, straight-up don't like the 25th take on Bludd, and while the new Snake Eyes is more accurate, it just doesn't do anything for me. Looks like I'll just have to spend that extra cash on building a B.A.T. army

Re: Bludd
It looks like it's still the fixed pose right arm, just with a different, 5-fingered hand and some paint apps. Still uses Zartan's left arm and both his thighs.
