I'm guessing the answer, but from yous guys (yes, yous) that are at the Con, the assembled MASS Device on display looks nothing like the pictures we've been seeing for months. Specifically, the Armadillo mini-tank turret and the awfully mishapen crystal.

I'm guessing this was a Mock-up from the pre-production phase, but can we get confirmation that the pics we've been seeing is what the thing will look like when assembled? If this Dreadnok-looking assemblage is the final design, I'll probably just skip the cartoon packs.

That said, I really do assume this is a Mock-up. Just want to double check.

Those skeleton warriors - fight Footloose and Airtight in Pyramid of Darkness? ...in the "City of the Dead"?

I'm impressed by the paraviper, even if he is purple. This shows they can do new stuff and have it be awesome-o. (Is that the Ace/WB body?)

That RPG trooper is cool considering he's just a new helmet and webgear.

Tigerforce Duke. I hate him, but he's well executed. New arms. New backpack.

Crocmaster is a cool surprise.

Mutt's perfect, even if he is a Viper repaint.

Quick Kick - no ankle articulation annoys me more than his judo chop hand.

Wraith - never a fan of the character, but he looks great and has a p90.

There's a lot here to digest here. I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Black Banshee and Predacon look interesting. Are they customs or are these figs actually coming out?

The Skeletons are from the Pyramid of Darkness episode where they go to the "city of the dead" or whatever. The one with Roadblock, Airtight and Footloose

both are just customs

That may be but I'm still a little upset that they made him & Paraviper when they could have made some others like Mindbender or Recondo instead. Perhaps Ripcord will be made after all since the Paraviper has the gear.

And then squint trying to make out yojoe's micro-thumbnails.

I bet they do Mindbender before the movie. He's too iconic not too, and with the Quick Kick torso they have no excuse.

Yeah, heaven forbid we get two whole new figures/characters amongst a deluge of (admittedly well-done) rehashes.

Yeah, I'd like to keep seeing more new characters mixed in with the 25th versions of classic designs. That Para-Viper is really nice. So's the Cobra Bazooka Trooper (dig the angled back holster).

Mutt looks fantastic, I'm astonished they gave Croc Master an all new mold (the stitches on the mask are a nice touch) but very glad they did. Wraith is a surprisingly solid figure, despite being mostly the wave 7 Snake-Eyes body. DVD pack Serpy is lame, the Cartoon BAT is pretty cool, and despite the lack of ankle joints, Quick Kick is incredible IMO. Just a great sculpt. The updated/corrected SE v2 is alright http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode= ... 0&start=60
but man, that cartoon style Bludd looks even more ridiculous.

Just realized that that DVD pack CC has two open hands, cool. New head is nice too.

Wish we were getting a few more 25th style updates, but overall the rest of this year looks really nice. Hell, even the IG is growing on me a bit.

Man. That new stuff is balls in your mouth awesome! Para-viper and bazooka viper are outstanding! Dusty is pretty solid too. Mutt and Croc Master? Delicious! I'm happy to keep waiting for Mindbender and Recondo if this is the quality that comes from waiting.

Hey no wonder I can't find any joes, they are all at the con

Dusty-I hate to say it but I don't lik ehim, the head looks elongated, really throws off the fig (Like his head was stuck in a vice or something).

Cartoon BAT, Skeleton, Basicly Serpy pack, Minus Serpantor I am A+ with the pack, Serpy is obviously a retool and although he should work from me he really doesn't. Although with the tracks I see I wonder if that bore machine might be the put together That interests me greatly. As does Skeleton figures

Para and Bazooka VIpers, I like the idea, and the aplication is spot on, good job hasbro.

Croc Master. Interesting, Is on my consideration list.

Wrath-YAWN, hate the character, still I might buy him to abuse, the figs is good, but the character is such a let down (and I try not to think I am giveing DD money with it).

Quick Kick-Somebody said he looks like bruce lee, look at the original he does too. I like it, he is one of my fav characters and the fig is a good one.

Mutt is workable, but I might not get him (especially when you consider that its a DTC Junkyard).

TF Duke Give me a break, So much for hasbro not visiting TF with this set. Anyway even with fixed arms, boring. pass massivly.
