It's been pointed out in the interim, that the arms and legs of Mischa are the same ones that were used for the TRU exclusive Frostbite/Snow Job that came with the Snow Cat. If someone wants to track those down, feel free. TS, I think you may be right, but I haven't done a RAH style custom in so long I'm not sure.

Dragonsky:

head-new

chest-SAW Viper

arms-SAW Viper

waist-SAW Viper (?)

legs-new

Those legs remind me of the Star Brigade DUKE figure?

 

Anybody got one they can do a comparison with?

 

 

{edit}

I think we're going to discover it's a combination. It's looking now, like it's the upper legs of Ice cream Soldier and the lower legs of Space Shot....both from '94's Star Brigade series.

 

Tell me what you all think on that possibility? ^_^

The Outback is very good I think, I do agree that he also looks

like Combat Jesus like somebody else said, can't remember who.

 

The Munitia figure has got some problems, the figure itself being the biggest

problem

 

The rest are decent and I'll get atleast one of each if not for the figure

for the accessories @hmmm@

 

the comic packs are definites for me especially the OG one

 

Is it just me or is Outback missing his SURVIVAL logo?

Every one can complain about DTC wave 4 all you wont, but it will be a cold day in hell before I choose the inflexible 2 1/2" line over 3 3/4". I could care less if the reused other body parts. When Joe first came out the only thing the changed then was there heads.

 

I just wish Sigma 6 would stop using the some figure over and over again to come out with new gear. How many def versions of Duke do we need any way?

 

I final figured out why I could not get the Images to show up. Apparently, I needed to update my driver for the DSL server. Every thing seams to be working OK know.

You guys are smoking crack. Most of these figures look pretty good.

 

1987 Falcon is my all time favorite figure. Nice to see him finally get a new mold. I like the head alright . . what he is missing is his scarf to make him really seem like Falcon. I wonder what someone could do by using that head on a better body? I will for sure be getting this figure.

 

Outback looks bad ass! Looks like Jesus. A must have.

 

Munitia and Airtight also look pretty cool. I was never really a big fan of the original Airtight. This one is an improvement.

 

I didn't care about the new sculpt Cobra Trooper so I don't care about the new sculpt Cobra Officer. Night Viper is no improvement on the original so it's not worth getting IMO.

 

I like the gas masked Cobra Trooper and that is a pretty good Lady Jaye figure. Possibly the best version yet. Who is the other figure that comes in that back?

 

The Oktober Guard pack will make another good addition to my Soviet team.

I see the Ice Cream Soldier on the upper thighs and Mutt on the feet.

 

As for this new wave I think it SUCKS!!! Where is the creativity with some new molds or are we to pay for just new weapons and gear with old molds??? This is slowly killing off the line for me anyway it problaby won't show on HTS till till, ah I don't even care!

Falcon: Sneak Peek IS a Ranger, so maybe that is him without his helmet on. :P Not bad, it just doesn't say "Falcon" to me. If the camo pattern matched the original better or he was in a shade of green (or, preferably both), maybe.

 

Outback: The Major Barrage body works well here, even if he DOES look like G.I. Jesus.

 

Munitia: The head bugs me. Is she wearing a leather helmet or something (with her hair sticking out the back) or is the whole thing part of the helmet? What are here accessories?

 

Cobra Officer: Lame. The two strap thing (the molded on one and the accessory one) kills it. Why not just use, oh ANY other torso piece?

 

Airtight: Disappointing. As PlayNiceorDie said, they shoulda made it look more like the original one (since the body was intended for that in the first place). Plus, it doesn't look removable (the helmet, but not the "mask").

 

Night-Viper: Disappointing. I think most would agree that Overkill's torso, at least, would have worked better. The helmet looks pretty stupid. Would it have been THAT hard to do a full visor? Hell, even the Scalpel's headgear would have worked better here. Especially if you consider the Night-Viper looks quite like Scalpel/Medi-Viper.

 

Gas Mask Troopers: Terrible. First TWO of this guy is just stupid (if I'm not mistaken, they only appear in ONE panel). Second, the paint apps just look so......plain.

You can see the hands are a different color here.

 

Lady Jaye: About #$%%# time! Whether or not the body is "boring" or "old" or whatever, you gotta love the head.

 

Oktober Guard: Is this finally ALL of them?

Misha: They shoulda just used Wild Bill's hat (whether RAH or JvC), but the figure is okay. What's with the strap on his chest?

Shrage: I like him. The body doesn't work too well (not "Russian" enough and too plain regardless). I like the holster. Seems a little bulky, but looks a little better than the one that came with Chuckles.

Dragonsky: Meh. Too bad they couldn't use the MC version. And no helmet? #WTF#

 

 

Overall: Disappointing, but not surprising in that disappointment. We have a lot of new heads, but that is it (as far as bodies). We don't really even have that much new accessories.

 

 

Sigma 6 lasted how long before they changes sizes AGAIN? Guess that explains why DTC isn't getting any new vehicles. :angry:

Good to see updated figures of old characters, but why can't hasbro stop making 2 1/2 figs and save their ideas and material on new sculps. Someone in hasbro must know that if they keep on rehashing previous sculps for new figs, people will just stop buying.

I like all of these. My favorite is the female Cobra. I just wish they would retire the cobra comic infantry and instead use the TRU infantry Mold.

Yeah I like these too, I am thinking that when we get the gas mask vipers there will be a cobra logo, as for Survival, it would not be Outback out it. I am thinking these are the mock ups that were available for toyfair and we should hopefully see some better looking ones when they ship the next set. It is too bad that we are not getting any vehicles and only one can hope that down the line (mid year?/or at the con) that we will get a new vehicle.
