Here in the U.K its not a mail away. They are on sale at your local Argos store complete in the mailer box.

I think they look great and I'd love to get a set of the bad guys. I've been looking for these to show on Ebay for a while with no success. As I'm in the U.K its unlikely they'll be in the stores over here.

$50 shipping to the U.K for 3 softback books is nothing less than obscene price gouging. It doesn't cost anywhere near that much.

Yes.

That Arctic Snake-eyes sooo reminds me of Kenny from South Park. @loll@

Why you are so sure? Movie figures are coming so is possible that 25th figures RAH like must be in hiatus for some time since hasbro is doing exposure for the new movie toys... I thought Hasbro had already stated that we will still get 25th style classic figs with the movie line. Do you really think Hasbro will miss the opportunity for such an obvious repaint option?

Why all the hate for the night force Chuckles? I'm guessing that Hasbro realized collectors would prefer to get the orignal shirt colours on a single carded figure, no? I think both packs are awesome. #US1#

Both Mask and Venom agents already had codenames. Miles Mayhem's was Wolf for example.

If it has a fully enclosed troop compartment like the box art suggests, then its a must buy! If its just a repaint then meh...

For me, this line has been a disapointment. I'll list my reasons: I dont like the change to 4 inch from 3 3/4, theres just no need to make these figures bigger than the earlier joes. Badly proportioned limbs such as the legs on Cobra Commander. Anime eyes Roadblock. Poor articulation. Arms cant even bend 90 degrees? Is that supposed to be a step forward Hasbro? Hand molded as fists so they cant hold weapons. The Major Bludd debacle. Bald Cobra Troopers? Permanently seasick Zartan. Web gear that restricts movement, and bandoliers that choke Firefly. Stupid swishy hood on Cobra Commander. It looks unnatural for him to be permanently stood in a high wind. Pin heads ( Destro, Wild Bill). Giant heads (Breaker). Ugly Duke arms. Missed opportunities for removeable helmets, Copperhead, Major Bludd, Wild Weasel etc). Still no Dr Venom on the horizon. Although, admittedly many other fans would prefer more promenant characters. I did like the Crimson Twins and Wild Weasel.

I want a Miles Mayhem to go with the Matt Trakker. Its wrong to do just one.

Ah frak, I've been wanting a hatless Bludd for years. I can cope with the Zartan body, I can cope with no elbow articulation on the armoured arm, but this is too much. The prototype head looked much better and had the advancement of removeable headgear. I suppose its saved me some cash as Ebay and importing is expensive.

Just wondering, as I cant see any hair in pics of the resculpted head and a bald Bludd would be crazy. @hmmm@

The figure looks great! The best part is a non-swishy mask for future CC's. #US1#

I have to say that I like them all, especially Bludd! Zartan has been the only figure in the 25th range that has had good proprotions. All the other figures are gangly and stretched with ridiculous long legs. I happened to have Zartan, & the Noks stood next to Officer Cass from Star Wars on my desk. The Noks being 4 inches tall looked really out of place compared to 3 3/4 figures like Cass & Zartan. The Zartan legs and body are a great choice Hasbro! Now show me the face. #US1#

I picked up Randon, Le Colonel, Acarie, Thomis and Mygal when I was in Spain years ago. The plastic quality and paint apps aren't great but it was fun to get a Buzzer with a 'stache and scar.

I'd just be happy to get a Zartan that didnt permanently look seasick. @puke@

I received my set yesterday. Its ok but the jet pack troopers left leg has has some serious shrinkage. Its complete, but its 1cm shorter (and skinnyer)than the right leg so he cant stand.

Best part: Joes back in stores. Worst part: Hideous proportions on the legs and some strange joints.

I've got the unreleased Firefly and Blue CC but the Black version looks so much better. I cant wait!

Stop buying from Ebay? No. Joes aren't available in England.
