Wow a clear variant Wraith! Good luck to those who want this figure! :|
FINALLY Duke gets fixed arms. I wonder if the will fix the original version & all the other figures that came with those horrible arms.

At least Deep Six can breath this time out of the water! http://photos.yojoe.com/showphoto.php?photo=3121&cat=609

I am excited for a new Ace. That flight helmet will be going with him. I like Wraith too. I can't wait for joe to move forward. The cartoon has me excited too. The new Skystriker is a F-22? freakin awesome. this is exactly what I have been wanting. The same faces and general designs with updated equipment. The characters don't need to change but a highly funded special force shouldn't be flying F-14's.

Now I see that the flight helmet is like the old chopper helmets so it must be for Bill.

Great stuff...but (don't throw things at me)...Wraith has more of a Robo Cop feeling than comic book Wraith. That's just me. Maybe I am too used to the custom one Alyosha did about a year ago.

You do have a valid point. There are a lot of straight repaints being shown.

I'm going to have to get a couple of the new Ace's so I can replace the original's head with one that doesn't have "crazy stalker" eyes.

WOO! Man Is that Awsome Snow Serpent Commander (or whatever they're calling him) The same guy from the Operation Flaming MOTH Set? Cuz he's painted up A LOT like him. I love that awesome Bazooka Trooper, did you see he has a holster on the back of his webgear? (sinchicken pointed it out to me) MUTT!!!!!!!!!!
