Just won a Conquest, Rattler and a Havoc for cheap, pricey AF and cheap. Just need Nightraven and I am very done for now I think.

They sound great! ....army build 6" Cobra Troopers....
But no. No no. Sold on my remaining 25th Anniversary figures last year. Loved those figures ten years ago. But they spent the last five in a box in the loft, after I... returned to my roots.

I hope there is a Flint.
I also hope it's not entirely a rehash of what wasn't selling before!

That does look pretty great, I could be very tempted!
No Timber though?

eh, not feeling that at all, doesn't represent the characters to me. Easy skip on the toyline now, was hoping for a more Marvel era ARAH look.
Hopefully some folk enjoy them and it'll lead to variants.

The Snake Eyes is good.
I like the Roadblock figure, rather US86/UK88 but the weapon is a world of wrong.
Scarlett is reminding me of the c2002 interpretation.

So the bold new direction after a few dormant years is the same old characters? Um.

Of course, you wouldn't expect anything less now would you...

I'm just not sure this is the way to revive the brand. It's not a radical rethink. The toys themselves look good. I'm just not sure if they will appeal beyond the existing dwindling hardcore fanbase.

The thing is, it doesn't actually need as radical a rethink - the core concept has enough parts that can be be used now without any real need to retool.
Destro - secretive arms dealer who will work with any side for the right price. Tomax and Xamot - creepy twin brothers who run a global corporation - Extensive Enterprises with their own private army at the back of them. Zartan - master of disguise and all round shady bad guy for hire Dreadnoks - lunatic mercenaries and biker gang. Cobra Commander - lunatic cult leader
I'd say it's the actual Joe side that needs the work, what is this team, how does it come about and why.

Just don’t try to buy a rattler or night raven, they are NOT cheap!
