This is my favorite 25A figure so far.

Not only is it a new character to the toy line, it's just damn well done. I don't have a standard Wraith yet to compare it to, but the clear version is fantastic.

Unlike some of the promo shots, it does not have red eyes or a silver cobra logo on the chest. The biggest surprise is that the face is painted flesh colored. I was looking forward to customizing this, assuming Hasbro would have left the face clear like the rest of the figure.

On the downside, I can see why so many have broken the cables running from the biceps to the weapons. The weapons "float" on the forearms gauntlets, which have to be positioned the correct way to avoid snapping the cables. It's difficult to move the forearms, as they are blocked by the gauntlets. Still, this is a great figure. Wanted to share the joy of a well-done toy.

These are not great photos, but this would be a totally worthless thread without anything to look at.

I agree it is a cool looking figure, i ordered one from HTS.com ( regular one) if it wasn't to much, i would get one from BBTS.com, but the $30.00 price tag for one figure is to high.

That can be arranged. I have an extra in hand.

Must. Have. Intensely Rare. Fragile. Figure.

Seriously, why do I have a feeling that "Wraith with UNBROKEN arm cables" is going to be collector's item in the year's to come?

Yup, otherwise known as MOC Wraith.

From all the feedback I've been reading I can't see one loose one with cables intact by next year.

Mine will be intact, because it's an awful figure that can't move at all, so I haven't touched it since I opened it this morning. Hahaha.

I got my regular Wraith yesterday and while rearranging (twisting) his gauntlets so he'll be able to bend his elbows and the little cables snapped!
Sucks! At least now he's more moveable...

I'm getting one in the mail at some point and the first thing I do after opening it is cutting the cables.

That'll show that little plastic bastard.

Thanks for the pics, now I don't want one as bad. I was expecting clear like MC's Zartan and Arctic Mirage, not Star Wars hologram blue and hologram Cobra Commander. Still want the regular release though.
