Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Wow, Zartan's new Swamp Skier is tiny.

That totally needs to be mounted on a ballpoint pen spring, like one of those little wobbling playground rides!

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

yah the new swamp skier is pretty ridiculous. have to wonder what exactly hasbro was thinking. guess they really did mean to pack it in with the little combat heroes .

i had no interest in them at first but the resolute figures are flippin' awesome. the paint apps on mine are all pretty good. there is a little slop on duke's gloves but the faces on cc, trooper, and duke look good. i'd like to have about 10 of the troops. i'm very excited to see what new figures we get from resolute and can't wait to see the animated shorts.

also picked up the skyhawk...ghosthawk...whatever and the water moccasin yesterday. both are great.

I'll be picking up a couple of these version Zartans to customize. Don't know what I will do with that little skier......

I agree 100%. I love the Resolute figures, definitely awesome. Still haven't found any yet, but all of the pics i've seen are great. Care to post yours?

For some reason, call me crazy, I like the Zartan that's packaged with the dvd set a little more...

Just reminds me of him color phasing in the cartoon.

That looks pretty good...I didn't remember the moccassin being so small though. Gotta love age-distorted memories

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Hey does anyone have the FANG/CLAW 2-pack? I got one a couple days ago, and just opened it up tonight. There's only one pair of missles for the CLAW, but the instructions show a total of 4. Did I get a mispack or did Hasbro cheap out?

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Damn my Target is slacking now. No new DVD packs, Fang, or anything else other then the VAMP and MASS DVD pack.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Just picked up Dreadnok Torch, Snake Eyes First Edition Art card and Cobra Commander Battle Armor edition from my Wal-Mart today!

edit: Torch looks better in the dual pack with Ripper though, the paint is much better and more accurate!

Also I was just looking at the back of these cards on these guys today and they had a lot of newer characters/figures along with new suits for the following:
(I'm not sure if anyone has stated this in the past but here's a list of what I'm looking at)

Specialist Trakker
Scarlett (new suit)
Flint (new cobra suit)
Cobra Ninja Viper
Cobra Diver
Python Crimson Guard
Duke (new suit)
Cobra Commander (cape)
Cobra Trooper (new suit)
Firefly (new suit)

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Specialist Trakker -- from the M.A.S.K. cartoon
Scarlett (new suit)
Flint (new cobra suit)
Cobra Ninja Viper
Cobra Diver
Python Crimson Guard
Duke (new suit) -- GI Joe RESOLUTE cartoon series
Cobra Commander (cape) -- GI Joe RESOLUTE cartoon series
Cobra Trooper (new suit) -- GI Joe RESOLUTE cartoon series
Firefly (new suit) -- blue costume, not sure from where

I saw a lot of the new figures at Target the other day. The GI Joe Resolute Duke and Cobra Troopers looked pretty cool. The blue Firefly looked okay.

Hmmm, I might have to pay Target a visit tomorrow then on my day off, the Firefly art looked really cool it would be a shame if the figure is not up to the art, I hate when that happens...

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

From what I could tell Firefly was exactly the same as the first figure but painted blue. He might have had a different backpack, but that's pretty much it.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

No problem Skiman. Here's a little picture I just pulled off of ebay. Same figure but with a blue shirt and mask and camo pants. Different backpack.
