I posted
photos of the new figs from the display case. Believe me, the Snake Eyes, Low-Light and Destro are insanely awesome.
The Spirit figure is probably one of my new favorites along with Low-Light. Just from a geek perspective, I think Sprit makes a good counterpoint to the Shadow Tracker coming out. They have similar accessories and are both just cool. I'm not sure if the Shadow Tracker has been in the new IDW comic yet but as awesome as the silent Marvel issue was, with Snake Eyes, I think IDW could duplicate that with a Spirit vs ST book.
Low-Light is also a favorite. I was talking to the guy that sculpted him (forgetting his name) and he was originally trying to sculpt the rifle so that you could actually have Low-Ligh looking as if he were inserting the bullet into the breach of the gun. But he couldn't get it done on that scale. And speaking of bullets, if you check the second shot of LL's accessories, he comes with one loose bullet along with a box of them, radio, spotter scope and GPS, UZI and two backpacks. The rifle breaks down and fits in the rifle case and I believe the other accessories all fit in the second backpack, at least that's how the panel made it sound. Plus, as I mentioned, prone shooting position is possible.
Snake Eyes has tow heads, commando and visor, two rifles, silenced pistol, knife, sword and the classic explosive satchel. Dude is loaded.
The Cobra Shock Trooper is the Pit Commando for the Cobra team. He has a ****-ton of accessories, ballistic shield, breaching equipment (sledge hammer) and a few weapons, gas mask and a helmet.
Quick Kick as the classic Kung Fu Grip logo on his gi and he has body scars which were showing some love to Bruce Lee. his boxing gloves are sort of MMA gloves, and removable. The vest comes off so you can see his scarred torso.
The Skydive figure is a new character and takes one of the ROC Ripcord bodies that was cancelled and has a new head.
Destro is huge. He has this huge shoulder armor and badass armor and he has a steady gun, actually two of them. One is a gatling gun and the other looks like the gun from Aliens. Plus he comes with a briefcase of money. I think the panel said that in scale it's about $3 mil or something.
Oh, and if Quick Kick is in honor of Bruce Lee then Spirit is in honor of Billy from Predator. It's almost like the Hasbro team is looking for a license for the Aliens and Predator franchise...believe me, I'd own it all if they ever were able to do Colonial Marines or the Predator commando team.
I have lot of photos of the custom dios and figures but I won't be able to upload them till I get home. I also have some video of the dios and all the info from the Hasbro tour.
