Wow........ shocked how crappy things look........ biggest fear was a MOTU style line after the movie figs and its coming true it looks like. And by that I mean a tone of random pointless SE,Duke, etc. I wanted some movie style stuff but also wanted a return to some classic vintage designs..... guess not. I do like the Zartan a lot but the rest I am meh on or they plain suck.

Quite a few look like wins while judgement is reserved on others until they are released.Do we really need a second arctic Snake Eyes??The addition of one named classic Joe per theme/wave is welcome.The lack of Hawk and Breaker in next years line is a shame.

It's a custom.

No one from Hasbro ever said that. In fact, a lot of fans, myself included, saw the writing on the walls when Hasbro got shut out of stores for the first half of 2009, and Resolute got dumped onto the Net over a week's time with practically no build-up. Resolute was supposed to bolster the 25th line for the first half of this year, with the movie taking over in the summer. WalMart and Target seem to have refused this plan, and Hasbro was left with a lot of brand new molds and nowhere to produce them. So first we're getting a lot of them, re-purposed as ROC figures (City Strike Snakes and Scarlett, Jungle Storm Shadow, and the Walmart 2-pack Roadblock)... and Hasbro's thrown out the idea of doing a boxed set of the molds in their proper Resolute colors next year.

 

But Resolute as a line, and the cartoon, are dead in the water. They were supposed to be Hasbro's big pre-movie push, and got derailed by the stores not wanting a flood of pre-movie merchandise taking up space.

dude!

 

there is a picture of the terrordrome in there, and they label it. That has to mean that it is coming out right!!?!?!?!!?

I read somewhere they confirmed it was just a custom there are no plans for a terrordrome or Flag next year.

I've checked around on other sites to and have tried to get a good view of everything.

Initially I was horrified but there are actually some great figures mixed with things too sci-fi for me.

 

In her own right the scarlet is a good figure (the gearless pic i've seen) and looks like great custom fodder.

 

The new stormies look honestly terrible to me. Is that a flesh molded shirt on the newest version?

 

Zartan looks neat, but i don't like the shirtless look for him, looks again like excellent custom fodder.

The artic and jungle figures look amazing! Recondo looks more like a new gnawaghyde to me for some reason, and he probably will become that but still yet, a great figure.

 

The mail away Cc, anyone know how we will get him? I felt a little burned with the Doc in 25th. I never could find any comic packs beyond the first wave in till after the promotion was over, and i was not on the net a lot at the time and didn't know it was extended! The way to get nick fury is equally annoying. I don't really want the cc so much, but i love the mini-bot. I hope we see more mini-bots like this packaged with figs.

 

While many make fun of the cycle/armor it seems to sci-fi for me but at the same time it's exactly what i would have wanted as a kid and i can't help but want to get one. The only TFs i buy are the bikes and stick my joes on them, this is a whole new way to do that!

 

That hisstank is just Sweet! Really love it, can't wait to have it!

Hope that draws in the kids, and then the fall in love with the more realistic ones!

There was a custom 2-story Terrordrome on display (just a double stack of lower-level drome, really) but Hasbro also had a photo-real Terrordrome picture in their slideshow presentation, which would seem to hint at a new version coming in the future. However, Hasbro *did* do pre-emptive damage control, announcing in no uncertain terms that they had no plans for a Flagg, Terrodrome, or Big Lob (my guess is to head off any questions in regards to those three, as they get asked every year and at every panel.)

I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure in the latest Hasbro Q&A, it was confirmed that Resolute would come in 2010 as an exclusive set.

 

We must also keep in mind that most product is shown here up until Feb 2010. I hope I am not missing something and that is in fact just 2 months of product into the year. Though, and I am using memory here I do think I saw something that said 4/2010. However, it would have been nice to see any Resolute or even classics that Hasbro has planned for next year.

 

With that said, I am not looking forward to any of the product shown thus far. Beachhead is cool, but do I really need another one?

By thrown out, I meant offered us the possibility, not threw away the possibility.

 

The Boxed set is likely coming next year. But that's not how Hasbro initially meant to release those molds. They were supposed to be single-carded, released thru the first 6 months of this year. Now, they're getting used for parts in the ROC line, and we're getting thrown a bone with the boxed set, mostly to shut us up about Resolute.

CRAPTASTIC!

 

man i hear you 90% of that is crap and looks like gundoms or that cartoon where the team wore those suits that contented and made like jest and subs and stuff. god they have went and made joe in to another SW /sci fi line. man give me the 80s any day of the week over this.

 

 

Hasbro needs to make 2 lines asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 for roc or what ever they are calling it. 2 for the 25th/me/resolute line with there own cards back.
