Heavy Duty and Skull Buster:

Probably the biggest WTF??? out of the whole wave. Heavy D? what's new? Skull Buster? what's with the color selection Hasbro..just trying to piss us off..ain't cha? :roll: :lol:

 

Check'em out though, very cool looking figs and very promising for the future of JvC! IMO

[Three Storms]

1. In blue, Skull buster looks more like a Cobra than many they've been releasing. I definitgely will be getting one.

 

2. They know by now Baroness is not gonna be all-black, so they need to quit it with showing her that way.

 

3. The NEO Viper packed with Wild Bill is in the most suck-ass colors yet, and Wild Bill looks like Gung-Ho, in disguise, while going to one of those bars with rainbow stickers on the front.

 

4. The CLAWS blue recolor that comes with Dart is also improved in blue.

[Devilbat]

I'm looking forward to all of those two-packs, except for the HD vs. Skullbuster(?). Maybe he could be a commander for my RAHC Rock Vipers. As for HD, I don't need another one!

[peterfn216]

1. I thought that the skullbusters would be coming with swords for their packs.

2. I think that the shock viper looks ok in red but I was hoping for the blue one released in wave 5 and I hate that missile launcher he comes with.

3. Whats up with Bats legs? He looks like a ninja or something.

 

Great pics and thanks for posting them

The figures are great. I really hope Heavy Duty gets the o-ring treatment. If not in that Wave then in another one. He's just an awesome figure that would be even better with the o-ring.

 

The Shock Viper looks cool, but I liked the gray that he was painted in more. Shock Viper was in a Gray color scheme that really rocked at the convention. I was really looking forward to them, but Red is still awesome. Maybe we will see the Gray in the future?

 

Wild Bill looks like NMX.

 

The Neo-Viper could actually be a very cool figure. I can kind of get a good idea of what the color scheme will look like by the picture and it really isn't that bad.

 

The Shipwreck and B.A.T. two pack looks awesome, but the accessories are something that I would like to talk about. The B.A.T. should have hand attachments like all of the previos versions. Just like Zartan should've had a mask. They are still very cool, but they would be even better if they had those accessories! Shipwreck looks Hardcore!

 

Duke and Ripper Rock and so do Dart and CLAWS.

 

Skull Buster looks great! He is the leader of the Range Vipers in case anyone didn't know. He keeps looking better and better if you ask me!

[Outsiders]

I don't even collect any of those figures... Baaaaaa! :x

 

Saves me some money... :lol:

[Beach Head]

Why the f*ck are they making so many figures of Heavy Duty? What the hell is so special about him? He's not even one of the elite Joes. It would be nice o get some new Joes period instead of just the same charatcers.

Because they ran out of Big Bens and Frostbites so they are using Heavy Duty now with everyone... :wink:

Well, I can't really complain about the third 3 3/4" Dusty they're releasing... but I get your point.

 

Thanks for the pics, Viper Hunter! Now let's see...

 

-Like you said, the red Shock Viper looks 'much gooder.' :lol: Um... I don't know why Dusty has a green color scheme, but besides the fact that he's supposed to be a desert trooper, the colors don't look bad on him. They're subtle, at any rate... contrary to the bright yellow kneepads on the first wave 2 version.

 

-Morbo, you're right, Wild Bill does look like Gung Ho in disguise! :lol: And yeah, I think the blue and red Neo Viper color schemes are better too. 8)

 

-Shipwreck looks pretty cool! I think my older brother will like him. 8) The BAT looks... okay, I guess... :-?

 

-Wow, I think Duke looks awesome! Besides his bleached-blond hair, Viper Hunter. But I think he looks much better than the wave 1 Duke. 8)

 

-I don't know who Dart is... ( :oops: ) but he looks really cool. The CLAWS looks very... indigo.

 

-Um, yeah, Heavy Duty and Skullbuster... no me gusta, really. Skullbuster looks like he walked right out of a circus or something. :-?

 

But overall, wave 4 looks awesome! I can't wait... well, I guess I'll have to... but as soon as it hits my local stores I'm going on a buying spree! woohoo! 8)

[Guest]

I'm really liking the new Duke and Ripper. I like the new Shipwreck and BAT figs too. Wild Bill does look like NMX. - LOL The Blue CLAWS is gonna be a great figure to army build with. Don't think I'll be getting the HD/Skullbuster or Dusty/Shock Viper packs. :-?

[JayC]

Hey does anyone else think that the shock viper with a few modifications would make a good Wild Weasle?

[RobbieDigital]

Hey Hasbro!!!! Don't make a new Roadblock to go with skull buster!!! Man how sick am I of all these new repaints, and Heavy Duty isn't even repainted!!!! I know its still early but still.......The other figures look great, the new Duke looks like the Duke of old somewhat. I wish shipwreck had his old sailor hat though, also wheres Polly!!!!

[Viper Hunter]

And with a new Rattler coming soon to pilot!

 

I'll be using the Shock-Viper (if in red) as MY Wild Weasel..for sure. I don't care for the CLAWS mold at all (dwarfism) and don't think I'll be leaving him at the pilots position.

 

Nice idea JayC!

[Outsiders]

Hey does anyone else think that the shock viper with a few modifications would make a good Wild Weasle?

 

With a few changes here and a few changes there... You will see him as the new Wild Weasel in a wave or so... :lol:

The Heavy Duty figure just makes NO sense at all! :-? An EXACT version of the wave 1..no O-ring or nuttin'..???

 

The Duke does look very cool, and Shipwreck's appearance is taken from the Image comics I guess? Not a bad look, but the GOATEE rave is getting old (just the same as it is in the REAL world) everybody's got'em, so the Joes have to also. :roll:

 

He looks more like Ben Affleck than George Clooney..I think!

[Doc Evil]

I hope Dusty's a basic army green. At least you can get some custom fodder out of him.

 

But I see a LOT of homeless Heavy Dutys and Dustys in a few months

[Phanstar]

again hasbro is nickel and diming its customers to death by making you buy a figure you probably already have three of (if you army build cobra claws), and making you eat it.

 

Sigh....

 

Some of those figures do look nice. But still, shady marketing in a lot of areas if you ask me.

[Nik]

I'm really glad C.L.A.W.S. is coming with Dart. He is a perfect looking greenshirt to mix in with the Mirage's and Big Ben's. Unfortunately the new neo-viper is coming with Wild Bill, so looks like I'll only have one of them. Probably end up as a leader for a couple of viper patrols or something.

Well... *cough cough* if anyone doesn't want their Dustys... @-@

Someone got the hots for Mr. Ronald W. Tadur :lol:

The Shipwreck and B.A.T. two pack looks awesome, but the accessories are something that I would like to talk about. The B.A.T. should have hand attachments like all of the previos versions. Just like Zartan should've had a mask. They are still very cool, but they would be even better if they had those accessories!

 

 

I agree, and I would think that, given the fact, some of the new figures have hands that detach already....how difficult would it have been to add those different weapon/hand attachments to the B.A.T. figures accessory list? Maybe even one with a "sound tab" on it that makes a {{{PUNCH}}} sound when inserted? @-@ :roll:

 

Never know though, it may yet come with just such features after all...here's hoping! One thing I've seen mentioned elsewhere though, that disturbed me, is someone mentioned the B.A.T. looking a tad bit like a POWER RANGER!..??

 

"NOOOOOOOO" :x

[revsears]

This is the first wave I won't get much off. Wave 2 I skipped the dusty for the one with sandrazor this wave i won't be able to make myself by any thing but shipwreck, Duke, and Dart. The heavy duty thing is heavy duty Bull @#$#. And the Skull buster? when i first seen him (with a sword) a thought it was going to be a weird ninja rock viper, I could get it, but the leader of the ranger vipers? WTF? I loath the neo vipers in crappy color schemes,... AND THEY STILL HAVEN"T FIXED HIS ARMS! and that wild bill looks nothing like him, nothing at all like him. The shock troops? Any color scheme they suck the old incenarators were ten times cooler,... oh crap wasn't i one of the guys who supported jvc?

[Viper Hunter]

... oh crap wasn't i one of the guys who supported jvc?

 

 

Yeah...you WAS! 8)

 

But you'll come back around, even I don't hate EVERYTHING! :wink:

[peterfn216]

the shock viper would look much better if you gave him dusty's weapon. They should stop including sci fi's laser rifle especially if it doesnt come with a hose and backpack. The skull buster might be alright if you put the knife that was included in the mirage/viper pack into the sheath in his backpack. When is this wave going to be released?
