Looking good! Looks like the toys have followed suit, and plan on looking better than the first film! Smile I was iffy on these seeing as how I just sold the first movie line, but now I'm sold.These look awesome, and how the first film should have looked!

I just want to know how soon these will be available. With Avengers looking like the toy line is going to crap out on me, I need some new toys.

The lack of leg screws has me worried. I hope they aren't as cheaply made as The Avengers toys. I'm not happy about the missing ankle articulation either. I don't care about the extreme sculpted detail on their army boots. I want flexibility!

This line is a major bust in the making. Vehicle drivers with what looks to be 5 PoA??? Saving money is going to be awsome!

Are those "Ninja Commando" figures 6 inch?

This is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, it's all new Joe figures. On the other-- the reduced articulation harkens to the strategy used in the MU line with their vehicle-based figures.

One thing to remember-- these are just the initial offerings. Most of these figures were developed based on early concept art and not on final movie designs. As such, some of these are going to be a bit "weak" compared to later waves. (IE- Roadblock with the action gimmick on the hand, etc.)

That being said those Ninja Showdown sets and the new Cobra Commander are "freakin' sweet" in the words of Peter Griffin.

Some of the line has potential. I'm just happy Joe is continuing at this point, even if it means putting up with The Rock's face on everything.

Looks like none of the Rock's figures has the Samoan tattoo, which he definitely shows in the movie. That's a big fail for me. Worthy of Jakks Pacific, not Hasbro.

I just really want a Bruce Willis figure from this line. Here's hoping for wave 2!

Pics are up at Hisstank early rumor was Lady Jaye was a NYCC exclusive but looks to be in wave 3 with Colton(Willis). The line is a mixed bag for me, horribe typical Hasbro movieline card art, no filecards, horrible spring loaded weapons. I dont know will have to wait and see in person.
