someone can answer the question as to what that thing is.

Its Breakers gum, it slides onto his microphone.

Thank nekoman it's nice to know what little extra are for. Now I have enuff stickers to send away for doc it should be interesting to see if I really get him or just wasted $4.95. Man it is like being a child again when you would finally save up enuff G.I. Joe or transformers points and were able to mail of for that figure your friends had. Well I should know in about six to eight weeks if all my hard work payed off consider I had to look pretty hard to find comic two packs with the little stickers in since my dreadnok one didn't have any sticker in it but oh well can't wait always kind of liked doc.

I found out today that reset for some targets will be the week of april 20th and for others it will be week before so start keeping your eyes out for G.I. Joe 25th anniversary vehicles.

I was just on Cool Toy Review and they have a rumor list for a wave of figures that came up in the Wal-Mart computer.

"The folks over at Hisstank.com have uncovered a new G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary names for what's assumed to be wave 10 (2008 wave 6) from the Wal-mart computer:

Tiger Force Duke (0065356934116)
Mutt & Junkyard (0065356934117)
Para Vipers (0065356934118)
Cobra Bazo? (0065356934119)
Croc Master (0065356934120)
Wraith (0065356934121)

Speculation in our forums is that "Cobra Bazo?" is a "Cobra Bazooka Trooper" and Wraith is a character from the Devil's Due comic book series"

If the wave is real then I probably won't know which ones out of the wave I want till I see pictures of them.

Hmm, if that is true, then I guess I'll be skipping that wave, unless if I feel like boosting my Cobra ranks.

Where the f*** is doctor mindbender thats who deserve a release in G.I. Joe 25th anniversary. Really how many f***ing version of duke do we need we have him with a jet pack, comic two pack with cobra commander and we have single pack version, as well as one of those box sets with logo that plays the G.I. Joe theme song. enuff already start bring out some other figures like doctor mindbender, road pig, scrap metal in his iron granader costume now those would be some cool figures.

He'll come. He'll come. Patience! With the exception of Serpentor, Gen Hawk, Beachhead, BAT's and Vipers season 2 chars have been mostly unntouched.

I got my SHARC today. I'm actually impressed. Even came with the stickers to put on instead of everyhitng being pre-applied for you. I found the vehicles being sold at the front of the store in mass. I passe don the HISS Tank because I want the black variant so I can wait. What surprised me was the price of thse things. I was expecting to pay $15-$20. But $10. Wow! Bring'em on Hasbro. I want more!

Question. If they did the Sky Shark how much do you think we'd expect to pay? I know Sky Strikers were far larger and would be more but how about the Sky Sharks?

Would anyone suggest the Dreadnocks comic two-pack that may have bought it? I'm thinking of getting it because I need one more sticker for the Doc mail-away but i'm not a big fan of that faction beyond Zartan.

There pretty nice plus they you have some backup for zartan and the comic is pretty cool as well.

The Bats android cobra figure looks the most appealing. Hawk doesn't have eyebrows. Did they shaved them off? He also needs a complete face overhaul but do dig his sunbow cartoon outfit. But his face is a let down.

I might pick them up if I have any money left over after Saturday, all depends on if i'm lucky enough to get out to a Target that has the vehicles out.

Cool Toy Review posted pictures of the upcoming Wave 4, which includes images of Major Bludd in and out of package with his face revealed.

It also shows images of 3 of the comic packs coming out soon. Copperhead Vs. Shipwreck, Duke vs Red Star, and Firefly vs Storm shadow. As well as international variants of another wave.

Liking that new set, but Bazooka is a bit funny looking.

Nice to Shortround get his HAWK.

Now all I need is dr. Mindbender,road pig,Zarana and Zandar added to my growing collection of figures, and I wouldn't mind having zartan's daughter Zanya add to the 25th anniversary roster as well just give us a modern figure as well as the old favorites.

It could happen since it appears they are doing Wraith, who is also a more modern DDP creation.

Of course, I prefer that the modern folks are very sparse, because they have so many cool classic characters to choose from and do first!

I agree with you all the way, but I'd rather have some modern characters than a slew of Dukes, Storm Shadows, and Snake-Eyes.

I'd really like if they released some sets which would make it easier to collect the Original 13. Like some Greenshirt Troop Builder packs, or something.

Well there is going to be a Firefly versus Green Shirts TRU set...that should work for you!

o.k I know a few of the new G.I. Joe character from devils due but I don't know who Wraith is I'm hoping that someone can tell a little more about this character.

He's another gun for hire with a high tech suit that allows him to become invisible, and adds to his strength. Last I knew, I thought the Baroness had killed him.

The Baroness is the focal point of the follow-up story arc, "Sins of the Mother". Confronting Scalpel for his misdeeds, she tortures him with his own scalpel, and leaves him disfigured and near death. She then enlists the help of Major Bludd to enact revenge on G.I. Joe. Sending him to Saudi Arabia to distract the Joes, the Baroness then tracks down and kills Wraith herself. Taking his armour, she strikes a bargain with Red Shadows' leader, Wilder Vaughn, for the location of Cobra Commander.

Before that he was as I said, an assassin for hire.

More Wraith info...

Wraith (G.I. Joe)
Real Name: Charles Halifax


Bio:
Charles Halifax is a French mercenary who specializes in eliminations, espionage and covert ops. He wears a high tech suit with hidden weapons and a cloaking device that he stole from the Chinese. He is hired by M.A.R.S. to free Major Bludd and Scrap-Iron from jail and serve as Destro's enforcer. He is one of the few to defeat Snake-Eyes in single combat.

Hmm, this Wraith guy sounds pretty neat, cant wait to see what his figure looks like.

Comic Pic...Guess who he is....

I will go with Baroness and Destro son if I had to guess from the picture.

The ghost guy is WRAITH...

I picked up a Hiss Tank today

Oooh! I think it will!

...as long as TRUs in Quebec will stock it.

Has anyone tried putting the figures in some of the older vehicles that the characters were associated with or some of the more general ones? I've only got 3 vehicles, a Mobat(1998 release) a Hiss IV and an unidentified one, so I don't have many to test them with.
