Pics have started leaking a bit about the Battle Damaged B.A.T., but YoJoe appears to have gone above and beyond and got a bunch of images, including the cardback!

Looks pulled right from Issue #44! :D

Man I have to admit, that's pretty cool.

If I ever see any, I'm sure I'll have to grab a few.

Those look sweet. And he cardback gives a sneak peek at what other figs we are getting. Movie figs, Lt Falcon on card, Zap, etc

Looks like another Destro in one of the silhouettes too? Geez

Hmm.. why is he packaged with the vines from the DVD pack?

A very cool figure, although I think I'd have limited use/play value for it.

Those plant spores exploded if I remember right, and wrapped things in vines before they burst with the poison gas... kind of a cool touch.

Yeah, the spores popped out and bound up the Joes' vehicles. The spores were a work of Dr. Brainwave :D

I'm only getting one or two of this one. While he rocks the house, I don't need too many battle-damaged figures. I'll honestly say that when I first read "battle-damage" I was halfway expecting it to be painted on blasts and burns. The detail on these is amazing, and exceeded my expectations.

It looks pretty good. Unlike, the first version (aka plastic crack), I don't think I will army building the heck of it though. Plus this B.A.T. appears to have no extra arm attachments. Boo.

..ummm I love it. I managed to fight the urge to army build the BAT..but I might have to get two of these. That issue of GI JOE was my first one.

So the new figs.. is that a Night Force Falcon? and Roadblock and Destro are the silohouttes?

Could it be movie Roadblock with a CC snake accessory?

Battle-damaged BAT looks cool, but I'm more excited to see what Night Force Falcon looks like. I hope that some of the issues from the comic pack figure are fixed. I never thought they'd make a Night Force Falcon. Pretty cool. That was one of my favorite figures as a kid (until it got stolen!!)

I like it. Won't be armybuilding this one, maybe 2 tops but still pretty cool.

Who cares about another Bat, we getting a Night Force Falcon. That single fact just turned this week around for me. :-D

Wow, a site that actually releases GIJOE news to the masses without any kind of brouhahas.

How utterly refreshing.

EDIT:

You know, this figure could also be used for the 'altered' camera head BAT that Fred (as Cobra Commander) was using to spy on Serpentor during the Cobra Civil War.

Weird. Wasn't this question JUST asked and Hasbro was all hush-hush about it? Hahaha.

Still, very cool. I thought it was neat when we first saw the pics and then it was pushed back to "sometime." If I find it, I'll definitely pick it up.

As far as people saying this won't be an army builder? I don't buy it, even for a second. It will at least appear to be an army builder, with everyone buying them and putting them up on ebay. This will be just as hard to find at retail as the regular BAT.

I agree with above, one or two will be awesome, but not a serious army builder.

Then again, who knows. . . I might not be able to resist their cyber siren call, :)
