UPS just rolled up and I got my wave 9.

The only figure I think is "meh" is the ninja-ku leader (stormshadow...now in black!)

The B.A.T. is just beautiful! They actually took the time and made the metal parts look drybrushed!

I have always hated the Snow Serpent....until now. Excellent figure!

Bazooka, Hawk, Barbecue.....excellent!


I'll show pics once I open them

Passed on BAT. Didn't appeal to me at all.

Bazooka - Good

Snow Serpent - GREAT!

Barbecue - EVEN BETTER!

I'll admit to being a little biased, because those last two guys were probably my favorite figures as a kid. Snow Serpent was the first toy I bought with my own money (as opposed to my parents buying stuff for me.)

Personally, I love the black Storm Shadow.
Great figure, now in great color!

Stormtrooper I dont think you'll have a worry about finding a market to sell your unwanted BATs :) just let me know before you post on the Marketplace :whistling:

Still waiting for my online retailer to get these in stock - always get an American carded wave to keep MOC for the nostalgic retro packaging. Just waiting for any sign of the generic Canadian cards to show up here. I know images were released yesterday - I'm sooooo tempted to swing by the mall later.

Unfortunately, the lone BAT I found was gone the next day. But I will keep my eyes open.

I found the Joes at TRU of all places. It's been a good couple years since I've found anything new at TRU. No Cobras, but I will get them eventually. Based on How many Vipers I see on the shelves I shouldn't have a problem finding some BATS and Snow Serpents in a little while

I hope for all our sakes this statement stays true. Strange enough the Viper has almost been a peg warmer up here and I can only guess it's because collectors are not happy with his sculpted hands.

On the other hand (no pun intended) by all review counts so far it would see that the BAT and Snow Serpent (whoa I almost typed Sperment for some reason)...anyways, yeah - they have been extremely well updated. I'm sure collectors will be scratching and clawing to get them off the shelf.

Can't wait to see them up here.
I had to order a Ninja-Ku from Ebay, but I'm waiting for the rest.

You just dropped a couple of notches there buddy... :shifty:

I found these at Atarget the other day... They are all very [LASER BLAST], IMO, except for the Ninja Ku (I opted out of that one) and I have found Hawk's elbows to be even more imobile that those infamous Duke arms (which I never minded in the first place so I don't mind it)


And for the record:

That Snow Serpent is pure TITS AND ASS!

In that case, I must acquire multiples :shifty:

Barbecue's not that shabby either, though he did need one thing: an alternate head for taking his helmet off.

They haven't come out in my area yet, but I don't think the black SS is so bad. You can always pretend it's Snake-Eyes from their training days

I agree with that or we're customizers can't we just paint the flesh brown?
