the designs for scarlett and storm shadow look like the originals from the cartoon. i hope scarlett comes w/ a smiley face too though.
Snake Eyes is the V2 and cobra commander looks like a hodge podge of various designs but the classic elements are there and i think he looks fantastic.
when i first moved to the states my earliest memories were getting the jeep, the tank, the bad guys jeep and duke and major blood and the mail away cobra commander.
what i love about this line is that i'm currently getting rid of all of my toys except for my minimates and i've found the joes to be the hardest ones to part with. i had a guy make me an offer for some and i turned it down b/c i just didn't want to get rid of them. now seeing these i'm thinking of reaching back out to him to see if he is still interested (though i may still keep my tiger force figures and a few baddies for them).
man, i'm looking at the vehicles i have from other minimate lines -- halo and Aliens specifically and wishing i had more. i never got any of the minimate max jets but i'm wishing i had now.
i got lotsa legos in the meantime
Images for the GIJoe set which will include Snake-Eyes, Scarlet, Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander have yet to be released

i love this wave! dethlok has been on my wishlist for YEARS!!! the rest look cool too and we're getting other new characters.
the next two waves look good too!
the problem will be in the case assortments. if they put two troopers together but pack it the same as the other figures in a case without making extras then they'll just become rare figures that frustrate collectors like us who can't army build.
but make them available solo (like multiple man or crazy 88's) and i think they'll sell the shit outta them. i think i bought 8 of the crazy 88 packs. if they made crimson gaurds, cobra troopers, vipers, alley vipers then i might do the same.
my favorite joes were: Duke, shipwreck, Hit N Run, and Beachhead.
later on Jinx and Falcon.
bad guys, firefly, Battle Android Troopers, Techno Vipers, Alley Vipers.
and who didn't like the various snake eyes' and storm shadows?!
well, i was hoping it would be joe but wow!!
i love the shockwave design. would love to see a unicron statue or something that would go with this but that would probably be wishful thinking.
and a joe box set is already designed?!?! i think the issue is they'll never get to everyone's favorite characters but hopefully there's something for everyone!
i'll preorder from my shop ASAP!
i want them bad! but i read that on facebook and then watched this video and it wasn't minimates he mentioned -- it was some kind of blind box.
same kind as those big headed bruce lee's they made. i hope i'm wrong and it was minimates he was talking about but i didn't hear minimates
so i'm blown away by the show but i'm not sure what 4 minimates i'd pick from the show (4 being the number of figures we got from Falcon and Winter Soldier).
so back to what Zach was teasing for this friday -- anyone have any guesses (or hints)?
