I think she looks pretty good. An woman in a bright yellow suit would stand out too much, so this is a nice take on the character.

Unfortunately, the individual characteristics and uniforms of the characters is what made them attractive to many collectors.

Hopefully, this is a spy uniform...

Thanks for posting the link. I hope those pictures don't end up being pulled by the company making the movie like they have some of the other ones that have popped up on the internet.
Hawk reminds me more of Flint from those pictures then of himself, though I think it's just because of the beret and darker colors.
I can't wait to see more Hopefully they won't wait till close to release to reveal what Destro, Cobra Commander, and Zartan looks like because I really want to see those ones.

What a haul I got when I went to Target today. It was worth it too! I got Torpedo, Cobra Commander with Armor, Iron Grenadier Destro, The A.W.E Striker with Crank Case, Cobra Hiss with Cobra Driver.

The figures are easy to put on the vechicles. But when you put the figures in the Awe jeep to drive or the passenger area inside you've got to bend both feet front ward as you sit them. It has one steering wheel, with nicely detailed dash board ,and two seats inside. It's also nicely detailed on front with the lights and front bumper ,and on the rear as well showing the back bumper, gas tank, and removable motor with muffler. In the Hiss tank the driver's feet got to go upward ,and sit him pushing him down easily with the index finger over his head. So the plastic top can close easily. The inside is nicely detailed with dashboard up front and controls on each side along with one driver seat centered. In the Awe jeep you can put four passengers. Two inside ,and two on the outside on each side. Each of the four wheels have shock absorber springs. On the Hiss one driving passenger up front ,and one standing operating the double barrel gun from behind. Both barrels point either up or down. Below the hiss tracks has four wheels below with axles. The Hiss is primarily blue with black tracks. The guns are black. On side of the door up front a red sticker 827. Two cobra symbol stickers. One way back to the side ,and one centered on the back. The Awe jeep is primarily olive green. The wheels are black. The wheel drums are olive green. The removable motor on back of the jeep is black. Two grey radio antennas. One on each side. One up front and one back. Its labeled United States with a star over centered on the front. The labels there are painted white. It has on the side step way below a g.ijoe with the white, red and blue stripes label. Above it it has an American painted flag. These vechicles are both a must have. Both include a driver each. There were one left of each and I got them both. They also had the night specter g.i.joe plane. One left also. The Hiss and the Awe are both must haves. I recommend!

Hey for everyones 411 the guy had to take the other pictures down. If you can find them elsewhere shoot me a PM and I'll see about putting them up on my site, if they're not up there already, since we can't post them here without getting into trouble. Ya'll know I don't mind stirring the pot. Heck only send me a PM if it's legal here.

So what figure are you looking forward to in the next several waves of single pack or comic two pack.

by **SpacerAM2** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 7:16 pm

I want to get singles Flint, LadyJay, Road Block, Hawk, Rock n' Roll, Doc, Dusty, Beach Head, Main Frame, Zartan, Zarana, Major Bludd, Firefly, Crimson Twins comic pack, An eel figure, a bat drone, G.I.Joe and Cobra first wave 5 packs when they go on clearance. The vechicles want to get a cool g.i. joe tank, a trouble bubble, Sky Striker, Rattler planes, one sea vechicle from each team, a couple of dreadnok vechicles, g.i. joe motorbikes. I'm running out of space so I got to watch it. Also trying to watch the budget. Not buying any them from the internet. There are more expensive there. Also the shipping charges can be very expensive.

All of them. But of the ones that stand out, the Viper, Python Trooper, Flag Duke, Snow serpents, Ninja-ku, oh wait I mean “Storm Shadow” or basically with a few exceptions, everything I can troop build rank highest on my list.

Major Bludd just because I'm curious as to why they kept his face a mystery. Tiger Force Flint, Flag Duke, V3. Snake Eyes, Wild Bill. I've also heard that we might see single carded releases of Torch and Ripper so I'll be looking for those hopefully with better arms and hands.

Has anyone noticed that Battlelines has a review up of mail away Doc? Apparently his body is all Duke except with a new head. Any word yet as to what we'll be seeing at the SDCC? I've heard that there will be two Joes and only ONE will be 3 3/4.

Will we ever see the actual Sharc but with DeepSixx with a nice articulated head, arms ,and body this time? I don't recall seeing a Night Specter in the cartoon. I think the Night Specter is just a repaint. In case it is not released, should I get the Night Specter when I see it in Target? Or should I wait until there is a release?

Here's some hillarious pics.

Actually he will be a single carded figure. Weather dominator was three figures with the dominator itself.

Yesterday I picked up Paratrooper Duke on sale and was wondering. How in the heck do you get him out of the box? With most Sigma 6 guys I have to cut a little into the plastic backing since they feel in their infinite wisdom that putting a tie around the neck under the head is a good idea. Something tells me that this is what I'm going to have to do this time but I was hoping for an easier solution.

Hasbro toy shop.com has put up pre-orders for wave 3 single pack figures.

News Credits: 387 · by **Nekoman** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 7:54 pm

Anyone else just a wee bit disappointed with the Target HISS tank driver? I love the figure itself, but I’m a little sad Hasbro couldn’t have even thrown in a thin plastic rifle or even the microscopic knife all the other troopers came with, heck, if anything just a STAND would have helped.

Umm is it me or are we missing a few of the more recent posts? Anyway I wrote something about being under Tomax and Xamot's spell and then asked about if they do EVERYTHING together which included a Monty Python reference. Somebody posted some great pointers on how to open the packages and maybe a few other things.

It appears some of our last posts have been erased. My post count has been reduced too. What happened? :shock:

It's a joint Cobr/Decepticon attack. Gentlemen grab your Nerf guns and assemble behind the nearest mod not at Bot-Con named Fred.

Yeah I wrote a couple of things as well then the system went down for awhile and when this happens sometimes posts are lost.

Isn't Fred the name of the Crimson Guard members? Doesn't that mean Fred could be behind it? That he is secretly working for Cobra and the Decepticons?

by **SpacerAM2** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 1:35 pm

Ok I get it now. Thats what happened. I'll rewrite the tips from before. To open the single package. You need to start cutting around from the bottom of the bubble. Using a scissor or exacto knife. Never the top bubble. Cause the top is what holds the bubble. Make sure its around where the bubble and carboard meet below. Cut down around a little more than half way. Easily lift the bottom part of the bubble ,and slide the tray down. When you finish playing with the figure or posing the figure. Put the black stand first then the figure over it along with the extras. Lift the bubble beneath easily ,and slide the tray in. As for the comic pack. Remove the two tapes on back. One on each side. Easily peel line drive using your hand then finger from below the bubble connected to the cardboard. Make sure to use the finger so that the cardboard label paper above the bubble doesn't come off. Leave the other connecting parts above the bubble alone. There's no need to touch that. Slide the plastic tray out. Do the same as the single when putting back in. After you finish.

Now for a little bonus. The Crimson Twins' circus act. Enjoy!
