Now JoeDeclassified has hi res packaged pics for the full wave 2 and the Cobra Infiltration 3 pack. http://joedeclassified.com/forum/viewto ... ?f=5&t=594

ToyVerse.com has in hand picks for Firefly from the Cobra 3 pack as well. http://thetoyverse.com/?p=6504

Firefly is... Battle Luge Guy!

The only one that i like is Roadblock, cause of the weapons that you can combine, the rest don't impress me at all, they seem just to bland and unappealing to me. :-/

I heartily approve of actual action in these action figures. The repel line stuff is awesome. Almost as good as the working parachute!

Other then wv2 roadblock, and Airborne, I see massive pass.
Thanks for letting me keep my moneys Hasbro.

I love everyone there but Firefly.

The unmasked headsculpt just doesn't look like Ray Stevenson to me (especially lacking the hairstyle he has in the movie proper), the holsters look ridiculously bulky, he's got the reduced leg articulation going and colors aside it doesn't much look like he does in Retaliation (the one we're getting later on actually matches the look better)
That being said, I'll probably still get him, because his gimmick is absolutely awesome (light-up forearms when he grips his battle luge? YES PLEASE), so he'll be a great base for a custom.

Snake Eyes is pictured rappelling while holding a SMG on the front of the package, but none is included. Oups.

It is possible it's hidden by the cardboard insert, like most of the rappelling gear is.

And I love how Hasbro took the time to add the extra wrist articulation to both Storm Shadows, when they could've just straight-up reused ROC Stormy's hands.

I think Mouse is gonna be useful, but Airborne would get a new head to become a new character.

That head looks like it can be used for a generic masked head bad guy/henchman, or with a little work, a gimp-type character.

Only figures I don't want are the Storm Shadows. Wish they would have just re-released Renegades Stormy under Retaliation packaging instead for one of them.

I want multiples of 3 pack Firefly! :firefly:

I rather like the Battle Luge Firefly's... head sculpt and alt mask (same masked face for the 3-pack invasion set).

Honestly, I'm down for all the wave 2 single and 3 packs. Even the Flint (just needs legs to swap with that match the colour). You can never have enough new head sculpts.

I only like the single carded snake eyes and roadblock. But Flint has a nice head. In the 3 pks FF and Mouse are good

Mouse's head sculpt is dead on for the actor. Makes me almost want to track down a Jurassic park kid version.

I love that Roadblock. He is a must buy.

3 pack Firefly is good but I'll hold out for the single pack version that is coming with the mini HISS drone. If I see Battle Luge Fly sitting on the pegs I'll probably snag it just for the gimmick.
