25th Anniversary Line

[Paul]

I would hope there is more than that for the next 8 months.  Also, what's up with the new Zartan?  Is he not corrected this time coming with his Swamp Speeder thing?  Has anyone heard about a corrected version of Serpentor with his chariot?  I can't believe Hasbro messed those 2 figures up.

Well for the next 8 months we have these too:

33 Duke with jetpack and flag

34 H.I.S.S. Driver

35 Cobra Viper

36 Spirit Iron-Knife

37 Snake Eyes with butterfly knife

38 Major Bludd

39 Flint Tiger Force

40 Arctic Snake Eyes

41 City Assault Roadblock

42 Cobra Commander with striped helmet

43 Cobra Officer Night Force

44 Baroness in blue uniform

45 G.I. Joe Hawk

46 Sgt. Bazooka

47 Barbecue

47 Storm Shadow in black

48 Snow Serpent

49 B.A.T.

#50 is missing in their list...but there are 2 #47's.

So that is 30 basic figures roughly.  Not a ton, but I'm happy with the volume.

The new Serpentor is rumored to come with the Air Chariot Vehicle Pack (a Serpie is coming..the question is whether he is corrected)

In-package pics of Doc

Frack, he's on a card. Guess I have to get two of them now.

Neato.  I had a feeling Hasbro was going to card him.  One of my local buds is helping me out with some extra stickers so I can get one to open.

Ok, picked up a HISS today that I plan on repainting.  If it turns out ok, I'll probably try and get another to paint too.  I think that gray could be a good paint scheme for this vehicle.

Gray would look nice as well.  Post some pics when you're finished.

That H.I.S.S. could make a good support vehicle for a sandcrawler.

Picked up the Night Spectre, and decided it might look ok for a custom Star Wars ship that had crashed -



I picked up a few HISS tanks... might paint all three, one as a battle damaged one kind of like this ship.  not sure yet.

[Daigo-Bah]

That's funny, Chewie, I just got a HISS and spraypainted it gloss black:

[CHEWIE]

Looks great!  I actually painted three HISS tanks over the weekend... not black though - I've got a few extra details that I want to add, then I'll post them.  I'm not going with stickers though.

Yours looks great BTW...

[Phrubruh]

Nice burn job Chewie and the HISS looks much better in the original black Daigo-Bah.

I've recently picked up a GI Joe X-19 Steath Fighter that I'm planning on turning into a silver Naboo cruiser. I've got to find more parts for the missing wing panels.

[CHEWIE]

Dang!  That does look like it has some SW potential... Naboo for sure.

I picked up two of the three "Senior Ranking Officers" three packs at TRU last Thursday, leaving the CC/CO/CT pack behind (it was far too similar to the carded versions for me to justify).  It's pretty much three repaints per pack, albeit well-done repaints in all but one of the cases *coughDukehack*, with the Grunt having an odd head.  Still, three well-articulated figures for 14 bucks isn't bad at all.

I also caved in and bought the Black SHARC and the AWE Striker at Target on Friday, when they finally deemed enough time had passed to put their exclusives out.  As cool as the HISS was (and as many fond memories I have of it), I think I'm going to hold off until the jet black version gets released at mass retail. 

Has anyone else not had their checks for Doc cashed yet?  I sent mine off the same day as I did my CW Rex mail-in offer, and that check has been cashed, while the Doc check has not.  I've seen quite a few posters on other forums say their Doc checks have been cashed already, so I'm starting to get more than a little worried.  I'd hate to have my six POPs from those comic packs go down the drain and have to start all over again.

I haven't sent in either form yet.  They've been sitting on my desk for months.

First look at VAMP and black HISS

Good vehicle choices here.
