JBL reviews the 25th Anniversary collection

[Gentleman]

 

Priceless.

 

 

One thing I'd like to see is a series of pics of the BEST poses these figures can hit--rather than those pics that just highlight the weaknesses.

 

Check out these 3 pics, courtesy of user "Steel":

 

 

 

 

 

Granted, the poses aren't exactly "extreme"... but damn if those aren't some great pics anyways!

Thanks Gentleman! I appreciate it. I tried to keep my review as honest as possible and I like these figures, thus it probably translated into how I shot them.

 

More to come on future waves from me at JBL.

[ARROW]

Yea, that's a step in the right direction--those pics are definitely getting there.

[pesatyel]

The pics are nice, yes, but I honestly don't see anything in how these guys are "posed" that couldn't be done with RAH/new sculpt figures.

[Leonardo T Dragon]

Okay, after a few unexpected delays the entire wave is up!

 

Now I've just got to track down the single-carded figures and I should have everyone done. I'll be honest-- the Baroness review isn't pretty.

 

Enjoy!

[Leonardo T Dragon]

COOL....Destro's up now!

 

Defintely one of the better ones in the bunch, but that damn HAND??? #WTF#

 

 

Love the captions Fred, and even added something to it...

 

 

 

They're BOTH a little gimpy in this aspect.

 

 

I was going to have them playing "rock, paper, scissors" but ran out of time! Somehow I knew you'd have some fun with those pics. (Just wait until you read the Baroness' review....)

 

BTW-- added new pics to Destro's review as well.

Love the Baroness review, Leo. I love how she looks, stance and all, but it is disappointing to know she has such a limited range of motion in her legs. *sigh* It's exactly like we've both said; it's astounding that after all these years, Hasbro STILL has construction issues. It would be one thing to drastically improve upon the original construction design, but it's another to change it and it be a step backwards so to speak. It's still a nice-looking figure though. Again great review man. (Loved the captions at the end BTW...) (lol)

I'm just holding out some hope that Hasbro will look at reviews like that and fix things for future waves...and then put THESE figures out again "corrected" later on.

[Devilbat]

Yes, that would be awesome indeed. Let's hope so, if only for the fact that we'd have a single-carded Baroness in retro vintage packaging. But I would like to see the construction problems addressed.

[Viper Hunter]

Sort of like having the first versions of some characters (in '82) with straight arms and swivel necks and then having another version of the same figure only with swivel arms and ball neck?

 

If they would do that, I'd be happy. I don't think they'd do that though. We gots we we're gettin'!

Whenever theres a NEW Cobra figure the first thing I want to Know is if it will look good with my current army. This figure really replaces the Trooper but still I can see the 2 being used Side by side. i still wish the figures were a 1/4 of an inch shorter. Now i want to see some armies of these guys.
