New 25th Figures!

Postby Goldbug » Thu Jun 26, 2008 10:55 pm

HISS Tank has some pictures of the new stuff!
http://hisstank.com/gallery/Hasbro-Dealer-Room?page=1
Crimson Guard 5 pack set TRU exclusive $19.99 Aug '08
Firefly vs Greenshirts set (Firefly is not pictured) TRU exclusive $19.99 Aug '08
Senior Ranking Officer sets
Ace in green uniform, Wild Bill(I see a flight helmet!), Starduster
Deep 6, cartoon yellow wetsuit Joe, Cutter {This has to be the most disappointing set ever! Gung-Ho head for Cutter. :roll: Deep Six with Ace's body & gear. Ummm life vests are designed so you do not go underwater!}
Destro, Iron Grenadier, IG Officer (Yuck purple trim for officer & another DESTRO!)
Crimson HISS Tank {We should have all seen this repaint coming!} :mrgreen:
Extreme Conditions 7 pack Cobra Desert Assault Squad MSRP $30 Nov '08 {WITH BLUDD AS HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!} :evil:
Cobra Arctic Assault Squad with SCRAP IRON (The Tele-Viper gives away 2 more Joes that are most likely on the way because he carries a new Dial-Tone gun & new Mainframe computer case!)
:cchelmet CC with Flight Pod in all blue not sure where this one is coming from. There is also a HISS driver in a slightly different paint app.
MOBAT with beige Steeler
beige desert Flint?
SHORT FUSE!
Stalker again in darker green with green jetpack? Could they be another SRO set?
blueprint for Paraviper looks like a Snow Serpent with HALO gear. You can guess who else will use that gear. ;)
Dusty's blueprint is shown
Then I think the rest are impressive customs.
The best ones are the Extreme Conditions sets IMO.
edit:
cartoon Major Bludd & another hooded CC Pyramids DVD set? http://hisstank.com/gallery/Hasbro-Dealer-Room/Joecon_2008_Dealer_Room_0008

Pretty lame IMO. Too many repaints are really starting to dilute the line. And it's great that they've redone Bludd, but I have to buy $30 worth of repaints I don't want to get him? :sadsad

I saw these last night before I went to bed and I have to say I'm pretty excited! Are there lots of repaints? Yes, but they're freakin' awesome IMO! The only thing I didn't like was the sound my wallet was making as I moved to the next picture :lol:

I have to say, that gallery show an awful amout of lazyness on the part of HT's pohtographer....

How hard is it to weed out the crap pictures? Four pictures of the back of the desert pack, and they all suck.
And almost no tags to tell us who some of the figures are, or the name of the they'll be in...

BAH!

Bring the man with the skills, bring on General Hawk...
And maybe that Cheifly Commander guy...

Waiting on some clearer pictures as well but I just really really really really like those new Extreme Conditions 7 packs. No having to search around for enough figures to make up a team, only one character per pack so you are not left with loads of characters from buying more than one pack, plus while it might just be repaints with some different gear I'm going to be the weird one to say they look like fun repaints and not just getting out on the cheap.

Sort of hope this means we get a few more Joes in the gear though or Snow Job and Snake Eyes are going to have their hands full.

Only down side I guess is Cobra will be getting far too much of my pay check yet again. Darn you Hasbro for making cool looking things!
Minor deity, major fun.

Kinda sucks that they sculpted up that Skeleton fig for the Serpentor DVD pack (unless he's borrowed from another), cuz thta fig is pretty useless IMO, but more importantly wouldn't pretty much everyone rather have seen a Dr. Mindbender fig instead? Big miss there.

It would be helpful if the guy taking the pictures also took pictures of more of the takes, and uploaded them next to the images for that set.
