Next Wave of G.I. Joe:ROC figures

Postby Shinnobi » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:47 am

Cool Toy Review posted the next wave of ROC in hi-res. (although there is no pic of Flash, rather the elite viper mistakenly posted twice.)

Im actually really looking forward to this wave.

I want atleast six of those PIT Commandos.
They look fantastic with all that gear.

The Cobra Troops here dont look bad, either.

Cant wait to find it.

Elite Viper = LOVE. Man, the headsculpt is awesome! I dunno what I'm gona do with that one yet, but I think he's another candidate for both keeping as-is AND parts use!
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

The elite cobra is cool.The others are ok. This is a WAAY better wave than 1. Helix is pretty tight too.

That Pit trooper HAS to be one of the coolest figures produced in this line, and the entire 25th line. I just dont care. If they made more guys come with tons of equipment like that I would buy into more of these ROC figs.
I think I seen there is Two different pit troopers..I may be mistaken, but I thought some came with different gear.

Either way, I think This is the ONE..stand out figure that will appeal to ANYONE into G.I.Joe, that has come from this line. There are others, Desert Duke for example, But this is just Epic win all over and over.

I haven't seen it in person yet, but the Pit Commando (and most of this wave in general) look quite good.

From my understanding, the Pit Commando comes with a packaging variation (different position and "in-hand" equipment in the package), but the figures themselves (and the accessories they come with) are the same.

I've seen them out. I got Helix first thing. Only one I didn't see was Stone.

I'm hoping the upcoming 5 pack exclusive at TRU will be Footloose and 4 green camo Pit Commandos.

That would be a huge seller IMO.

I was able to get this wave on the 5th. Flash is the only one that disappointed me. He's not bad put his weapon choices and lack of hoses make him look out of place. I feel like he was originally intended to be some sort of viper.

And that's the problem with how Hasbro has shipped this stuff. Some areas are getting a few of these, but not very many. It's like a chase wave. Most stores in Indianapolis have 100+ of the commons like Destro, Desert Ambush Duke, Covergirl, Deepsix, SE etc. While a couple have gotten a case or two of the Helix wave. I have seen hundreds of these ROC at 10+ different stores. I have seen Hasbro reps putting them out on 3 occassions and the majority of the stores just aren't getting the Helix wave.

My understanding of retail leads me to believe that the stores are going to have to sell out of their 100+ common figures to get to this wave. I don't think that is going to happen to quickly.

I found this wave a couple of days of days ago and to me this is the most solid wave.
