G.I. Joe Movie Rise Of Cobra Single Cards
I actually like these, and will swoop them up.
I wonder how compromised the articulation is due to the sword fighting gimmick. I really hope the 12"ers have double jointed elbows and knees.
I think I will reserve judgement until I see out of package pics.
I don't really like the 12 inchers.
Looks like good packaging, though the thought of a GI Joe card with a friggin Wayans brother on it is just tripping me the hell out
1. I really like the packaging.
2. I look at the figs and see very little that says 'GI Joe' to me. When I look at the Viper, I think 'Sadaukar warrior' from Dune.
3. WTF is Scarlett's weapon thingy?
4. I'm not sure if I'll get every fig this movie brings us, but I'm pretty sure I'll get a goodly bit of them, and I'm absolutely certain I'll be re-imagining them to be wholly new characters.
I'm not all that impressed with these figures myself...
I only really care about Snake-Eyes.. And the repaints for existing figures may be cool enough for me to buy them, but the Shipwreck isn't cool at all in my opinion.
The single figures they've shown so far are about exactly what I expected. It's why I hate the "Hollywood-ization" of just about any action property. All the characters look the same because the are sampled from the same color palette. Urban camo, black leather, black bodysuits and black padding. I know that the comic costumes wouldn't work realistically, but there has to be some kind of a middle ground.
There's no reason why a regular Viper outfit wouldn't work, altho I could see them running the whole palette darker. If anything, it's *way* more realistical than the Krull Warrior we're getting.
/Not hatin' on it as a figure - I'll prolly get my traditional 3-set - but that MFer ain't a 'Viper' and never will be.
Just about every green shirt/cobra solider/viper would work in the story.
gah! I missed the pics...
i'm probably in the minority in Joe circles but i'm looking forward to these.
My goodness, does Hasbro want *anyone* to know what they're actually still releasing toys this year?
shipwreck's head plus wave 13 firefly's body?????
instant DDP shipwreck.
you just need to take out the cobra symbol on firefly's right arm..
