hisstank has pics from the Hasbro booth. http://hisstank.com/gallery/Hasbro-Dealer-Room?page=1

CG 5-pack, Firefly vs. Greenshirts, look okay. I was hoping that the Greenshirts would look more like Steel Brigade.

TRU 3-pks. Lame that they're using Gung-Ho's head for Cutter but finally a Starduster. And I never figured I'd see Ace or Deep Six v2 in the 25th format. Not bad frankensteins either, even though Deep Six looks to use Ace's webgear and helmet. The BACC body on the IG's still sucks though, and that magenta trimmed IG looks like ass.

Extreme Condition five-packs: Now these are a great way to expand the line with existing parts, other than the CG there isn't a single clunker in these sets. And a corrected Bludd! HISS Driver torso, decent boots and all! Hopefully we get a more accurate Scrap Iron down the road, but with two Snow Serpents that look identical to the carded one, a Snow Serpent leader, and that badass Arctic Tele-Viper the snow set will put me in the poorhouse. Even the weird Viper using Roadblock/Copperhead parts is growing on me (Roid-Viper?) Ooh, and that Tele-Viper looks to have a re-tolled Mainframe computer too, which I guess confirms his appearance on the Wal-Mart list.

The MOBAT is never that great, but hopefully they'll add some cool stuff. The Steeler looks better than the other one at least. Wonder if that's a Grunt with a new head and the new OG13 boots with it? I dig that CC gets his own blue Trubble Bubble too.

Hope the Dusty and Para-Viper design art looks that good when translated into 3 dimensions, those two look amazing.


Looking forward to whatever else Hasbro has to debut this weekend, they're off to a good start.

I'm digging the Cobra Desert pack. That is definitely a must buy.

Para Viper also looks really cool. Hopefully the figure turns out nice.

Hey you missed Dial-Tone's gun in the Tele-Viper's hands!
Ace in green uniform, Wild Bill(I see a flight helmet!), Starduster is one Senior Ranking Officer set with all pilots
Deep 6, cartoon yellow Torpedo, Cutter is the Naval SRO set I guess. Deep 6 is indeed reusing Ace's body. That makes no sense to me since the webgear is supposed to be a flotation device. Cutter is indeed lame!
SHORT FUSE! is in the pic with the MOBAT who else uses a mortar launcher?
Crimson HISS Tank with another DESTRO!?
The Paraviper's gear should definately make one think Ripcord is coming.
cartoon Major Bludd & another hooded CC Pyramids DVD set? http://hisstank.com/gallery/Hasbro-Dealer-Room/Joecon_2008_Dealer_Room_0008

I have been holding off on starting any new customs. Good thing too because I was going to make a out of my jetpack Duke.

Good lawd. I'm going to be so so broke. Desert pack AND Arctic pack.. my wallet sobs in the corner. So many cool things, I'm positively overwhelmed.

_________________

Ok, a lot of those customs threw me for a loop before I realized they were customs. Cool to see the customizing potential when you throw some other line's parts in there. That Techno Viper was especially interesting with the Clone Trooper head, though I highly doubt that the Lucasfilm license would allow anything official mixing trademarked parts like that. Still very cool. I really dig the Big Boa 'playset' too. Is that Buzzboar based on the General Grievous wheelbike? That's pretty [LASER BLAST].

Well. It's official. I am NOT going to own all of the original 13/ No way am I buying that stupid Mobat just to get Short Fuze. Maybe I can feel better about skipping Steeler now too.

Arctic and Desert sets are a friggin GOLD MINE! Love both of those. The new officer sets actually look like something I will want to pick up too. Cool stuff in there. I knew they would end up making Cutter when I saw that life vest, though I am a bit mixy on the Gung Ho head. Guess I could go and make that exact Cutter right now if I want with a minimum of paint. Still, it's good to see him there. And Starduster? Yay!

Now bring on the non repaint figures!

who keeps trying to force the 12" figures over there?

One word
Un-IN-SPI-RED

I'll look over the pics again later, maybe some close ups, but if this is the best we have upcoming I am not getting anything.

They might be saving the big push for the movie.Who knows.

What's with tan Flint? Will he be single carded or part of a pack?
Are we really getting the MOBAT?

This is awesome! Great figures are on their way!

The 12" line is badly done. THe 1/6 collectors don't care for playline quality figures with molded shirts and kids don't care at all.

Either bring back 12" joe the way he's supposed to be or leave it alone.

_________________

12" stuff - Big deal. I like the heads, but I hate the way molded torso clothing looks with soft goods pants. Just looks cheap

CG Pack - More of the same. Not really exciting.

Greenshirt Pack - I like it. I wish the last TRU greenshirt pack had this color scheme.

Ace, Wild Bill, Starduster - Have to get it for Starduster. Wish he had camo pants though. Ace looks interesting with the WW/Snow Job torso

Naval Pack - Love this pack. Love the diver and Deep Six looks neat. Cutter doesn't bother me that bad, and hopefully they paint hair on him

Destro 3-pack - Meh, why is IG purple?

Desert Pack - Looks neat. Nice Bludd

Arctic Pack - Also looks neat

Blue Trouble Bubble - Meh

MOBAT - I love the MOBAT, but I hope this isn't the only Short Fuze we get.

there's the greenshirts, where's Firefly?

I definitely want to know where the desert tan Flint fits in too... seems like there should be a few other tan fatigue figures too, he looks lonely.


arctic Cobra set, hell yeah


STARDUSTERRRR!!!!! I had hope, and I'm glad it's come true.


I love the Deep Six, Cutter, orange Torpedo suit 3 pack, I'm very much looking forward to getting that set in my hands.

Greenshirt pack-Not a fan of GS's, but I do want to see FF before Imake my desision, I swear I think someone at hasbro heard me when I said I am an FF fanatic, but this one might break my pattern if he is crappy.

CG Pack -I think the mold is a bit overrated actually, Definatly pass.

Destro 3-pack- I assume these are the same IG's we are supposed to get in the comic pack, Might grab one, but will definatly pass on this.

Ace, Wild Bill, Starduster-Love starduster, but Ace and WB might keep me away from this.

Naval Pack- Much improvement, That looks like Torpeedo from the Funskool days, Cutter doesn't but me as much as I thought it would, DS is cool.

Artic Pack-AWESOOOME, Definatly grabbing

Desert Pack -Not as enthused as I am about the artic, but will grab cause its pretty cool too.

Blue Trouble Bubble-If I find the Tele version, nope, if not, maybe.

MOBAT-Sadly I feel I have enough, I can pass dispite the SF.

Flint, I dig, would definatly pick up.

HISS-Again I have enough, pass.

I too was really thrown by the customs, didn't realize it until Big Boa when I saw the base was Alex Ross Justice League. Still they are cool.

Fixed Major Bludd has potential to make Spin Doctor very happy.

Arctic pack and Desert pack are pretty amazing.

I also like that they appear to be headed toward environmentally themed repaints (the Flint and the STeeler).

Short Fuze leaves a lot to be desired. Particularly the Web gear. I think I'll pass and stick with my customs of him and Zap unless the heads are something special.

Para-Viper is very interesting looking. Dusty less so, but I'm glad to see him.

I'll be picking up the SRO packs (at least the Joe ones) and placing my Cutter custom project on hold.

The CG multi-pack is probably a big pass for me.

Suspect I'll grab the Greenshirt pack for some alternate heads.

All-in-all, pretty encouraging offerings. Hope the release dates are accurate.

So what's with that giant earth borer thing? I guess it's cool and all, but is THAT where the cash from all the price increases is going?
