Yah, Hasbro does give the line some crap weapons. There are some good ones here and there but usually its Marauder time!

Hey guys. The third figure was shown yesteday,(scarlet) she looks pretty cool. Im glad that hasbro is honoring the style of the old school figures for us older collectors. I still remember the feeling that I got back in the day antipating getting each of the new joes as they came out, :) I can't wait till todays fig shows up. Its almost as exciting as waiting to see the new xd. (just kidding) Nothing beats the warm fuzzy feeling of collecting xd. :D :D :D

Now Hasbro, make us some Head Sculpt & Endor Uniform variations! The new Rebel Fleet Trooper gets the JJ Seal of Approval Though!

If the rumors are true that these first 10 will be sold as 5 packs - Hasbro really has its head up its bum. Overall, I can't wait to get these 10. But WTF putting an army builder in a 5 pack (the Cobra trooper)? Why not Zartan or Major Bludd? I'm sure Hasbro won't miss out on a marketing opp. to stick that guy on a card, but GEEZ!

Roadblock will be getting a new BBI gun to replace that monstrosity. Him and BBI's upcoming Omar can hang out together :wink: . Only thing that would have been nicer is if Snake Eyes had Timber. But I like the VvV timber enough its no big deal.

And I am just praying they show up around here! Very very cool! Looks like it's time to set aside some reserve funds ;)

I am sooooooo stoked for the first time in 20 years to be looking forward to buying Real American Heroes!! I was awful close to reviving my collection just before the 3 3/4 went DTC...what was it Valor vs Venom...but then Sigma6 caught my enthusiasm just like the original 3 3/4 line did, so I passed on ever buying them. But these are a definate, even if they can't get Baroness right--STILLLLL!!!!!!

Just want to be the first one here to say how Gung Ho has that look.... You know... :lol:

The viper (or whatever they might call the cobra trooper) is actually pretty darn good.

If the real version of Snake Eyes comes close to the paint master, Hasbro has just done the perfect action figure.
