Excellent, it looks like the Iron Grenadier comes with the steady gun that was taken out of the destro pack. But he also comes with that terrible rifle from the Cobra Para-Viper, the one with the folding stock and bi-pod. That mold should disappear. But, the IG looks basically like Destro, so it's a great army builder.
Temple Guardian Snake Eyes is basically a Storm Shadow repaint, I think. Terrible, and a waste of a slot.
Steel Brigade rocks. I'd love to snag a few of them.
The Rock Viper actually looks pretty cool, and I wasn't hot on that figure.
The Viper is really nice and has the missile accessory from the Resolute pack, which is a nice touch. Again, love to snag a few of them.
Cobra Trooper looks good, if pretty straight forward.
General Hawk is a winner. Butt-laod of accessories and a nice looking figure to boot.
Crazy Legs is fine, but underwhelming. Just not interesting.
Blowtorch looks like a repaint, maybe a new piece or two, and some different accessories.
Jungle Bat is kind of cool and comes with Destro's gatling gun and an extra head. Probably a get. Looks like mostly a 25th figure, though.
Cobra Commander. Meh. He has some cool accessories but I don't really want to buy another CC just for some plastic bits.
Now, the Techno-Viper is interesting. If you like purple, anyway. Still, he's kind of cool and I'm sure there are some fans out there.
The Hazard-Viper, though, looks incredible to me. He's just over the top orange, and crazy looking. I'll definitely get a couple, just because he's so outrageous.
Anyway, of what's been shown, the must-haves are General Hawk, Steel Brigade (multiple), Cobra Trooper (multiple), Jungle BAT (at least 2), IG (multiple), Viper (multiple) and at least two of the Hazard-Viper.
The Skystriker with Ace looks insane. I'd love to get this, but I don't know about the price. I don't really have the space or money to invest in that piece, but if I was going to buy a Jet for my Joe team, that's it. Ace looks really excellent also. Much better than the 25th release. And, I have to say, the Starscream repaint is uber cool. I could do without the vehicle, but I want that CC w/ Megatron gun. Hopefully that's one Tunghori or someone will part out on eBay.
The one-man Cobra Osprey-style ship is neat but I can probably pass.
The 12" figures actually look really cool. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll be using the SA Joe body. Some of them you can't tell, but the Paratrooper has short sleeves and he's not SA.
Right now, I'm actually more excited for the GI Joe stuff than I am the Star Wars items that have been shown.
E...
