Nice one, chuck! Rip those suckas open!

Oh trust me dude. I'll be opening one of them since I have some special photo ideas. Vaseline may or may not be involved. That's one smoking Destro in your sig pic, custom?

Nice that you finally got your doc figure. I never did get the one I ordered oh well guess it wasn't ment to be.

Did you pay by check? Call Hasbro chances are they got your check but lost the order form. I had to fax copies of the checks to them. They even sent me coupons to cover the cost of the copies.

Looking forward to them!

Giggity giggity goo!

No no, it's the Destro that comes with the Weather Dominator DVD pack, and he's great, despite the lack of accessories...

Shortie, don't give up!

Really he looks different than mine. Still has the bad hand right?

Now for this weeks mission. On the back of the new Joe 5-Pack there is a shot in the montage of a Cobra tank-like vehicle. The shot is from a Sears catalog and features some sort of lever activated action. Help!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Really he looks different than mine. Still has the bad hand right?

It might just be the lighting. And yep, he still has that "I will crush you" hand.

Wait, you mean the red HISS? The one between the Terror Drome and the Hasbro logo?

No it's toward he bottom of the box with v1. Destro poking his head out. Can't see the full vehicle in the shot.

SO, yeah, this may have been said before, but the new sized MArvel figures are te same size as 25th gi joe.

Picked up me a classic deadpool figure today, compared him to the black uniform Cobra Commander, same scale.

Awesome.

Unfortunately hasbro has said that the lines aren't compatible much like the new joes and the old vehicles.

That's not a tank, it's the Cobra Moray Hydrofoil. Now you know...

And knowing is half the battle. Surprisingly in 60 pages that phrase has only been uttered 5 times or so. Thanks for the assist bro.

Seriously? Only 5 times? I guess it's more effective when used sparingly.

Glad to help, mate. The Moray's a hell of a fun vehicle. I got mine used when I was kid, and most of the parts are either broken and/or missing. It didn't even have the turret. But get this: the Maggot's turret fits on the Moray just fine!

Parts sharing. I'm surprised the Moray wasn't re-issued in this line. Oh, maybe a 25th Tiger Force issue.

hisstank.com has some comparison shots for the ME and original Cobra Stinger. I must say, the GI JOE department gets mad props for the addons to make the vehicle look better than ever. I can't wait for this one.

Yes it is. It will be doubly cool if they include an extra gun to go on the hood. Hisstank.com also had pics of Resolute Destro and Baroness. She comes with quite a few guns. The Lampry seems to be armed well too. So I was reading a review of the HOH Bat and they had pics and a short article on a supposed to be released battle damaged bat. Along with the spores he was going to come with a silver Cobra Trooper toon rifle. He was to be part of the wave after the first Resolute figures. All white hooded Storm Shadow and a new Roadblock and Destro were also going to be part of this wave. No clue what they were going to look like but I can assume Destro would've had a fixed hand or maybe even his diving suit from Arise Serpentor Arise. I hope we see these figs at some point.

Saw the trailer for the Joe movie. WTF are accelerator suits? Not happy about that at all. They're NOT Sigma suits I can tell you that. If this movie bombs I can see Joe going away for a real long time.

With the new gi joe seven packs on there way and number of cobra vipers include in them I thought I would ask the question. Which cobra viper is your favorite?

I think they did a better job on the Alley Viper, but the Range Viper has always been my favorite Viper. I just wish this new one had at the very least a more accurate mask. It's just not the same without his brains.

The classic Viper. Speaking of which, where is our Viper 5-Pack? Was it canceled?

I second this. Default-Vipers FTW. And any word on that pack?

The only thing I know about the viper five pack is that it is tru exclusive so who knows when or if we will see it. Since tru pretty much has all the troop builder sets locked up.

The shelves at TRU are relatively bare. I don't think they'll restock until the movies drop.

The viper I like is one that was never released my friends dad worked for hasbro in the g.i. joe department. There was going to be a viper elite guard kind of like the emperor's guard in star wars. The colors they were going to use where gold and olive green he kind of looked like the modern ally viper if that helps at all.

I do believe the first viper I had was the Alley Viper. Dug the shield and all. So I pulled out my DVD pack Destro and fooled around with him. I never liked the gun he came with so first I tried the underwater troopers gun, also known as the took laser pistol, couldn't hold it. Next I tried Zartan's gun and he could hold it but it didn't fit in his holster. Finally had to settle on the took trooper blaster... for now.

Well I just resorted to using Ebay to get my hands on the Pyramid of Darkness DVD set. I'll ge "the best of" in the coming weeks but i won't bother with the DVDs since many of those episodes will be in the Season 1 DVD set coming soon. I've been looking everywhere for that thing but availability is the big problem. And with the 25th/ME line going on a mini hiatus, I doubt it will help make it more available.

I'm actually hoping theres a sale soon to clear out some of the 25th anniv figs in anticipation of the movie. I'd love to score some more troops at a cheaper price.
