I'm really at the end of my Joe wants, so none of these are of that much interest to me.
The CLAW, looks pretty neat, but it's not neater then the Trubble Bubble, which I have.
I'm actually most interested in the sniper and wondering how much of that I can pilfer for Shooter.
Sidenotes: love the Arsenal of Freedom that comes with the Steel Corps guy, and Road Pig's pig helmet is a kind of awesome.
Road Pig looks amazing. I'd seen pictures of the character and was eagerly awaiting the figure itself. Is he a comics-only character, or has he shown up in some of the animation?
All I know is: I will get them all. However, a few things.
Claw-I think I’m getting 4 of these. One of my most wanted Cobra mini vehicles
Leatherneck-one of my fave Joes back in the day. A definite must for me
Zandar- More ‘Noks is a good thing
Sniper - Wow. Looks good. I was originally gonna give most of her accessories to Shooter but now I think I’m going to have to give her her own code name. Joes can always use more females.
Parachute Trooper- Oh I’m definitely gonna throw him up in the air.
Road Pig - His angry face need to be more angrier I think.
Raptor- barring the mechanical wings he’s looking kinda sparse accessories wise. Maybe they could have included a cloth cloak with wing patterns or something?
That trooper and Crimson Guard who are they? Do they have a back story? Are they sold separately or in a two pack?
I wish Raptor's falcon had outstretched wings too. Unless he does and I just haven't seen the picture.
Still gonna get plenty of those HALO Jumpers, but if they're gonna do a camo-facepaint head only, he really should have at least come with a boonie hat like the female sniper.
Road Pig was probably my least favorite 'nok but that dude looks amazing - love Rawkus. This line really does make the best animal characters at this scale out there right now. Zandar's a most welcome addition too.
Raptor was an old favorite from when I was a kid - not sure I love the mechanical wings but it's an interesting choice.
Leatherneck was one of those guys I had forever as a kid too, got a soft spot for him. Glad to see they're adding him to the line.
Raptor was a figure I really liked as a kid. As much as I was hoping for a truly classic ARAH remake -- I really dig what we're getting. I'm fairly certain I'm going to have to get him. Despite how good they all look, very few Joe figures these days are grabbing me enough to get my wallet open, but he'll likely do it. That Road Pig is also fantastic. Those two figures represent the exact kind of absolute insanity that makes me love G.I. Joe. Nothing is better than plopping a figure like Leatherhead on the floor and having him battling it out with a beefy power-lifter in football pads with a cinderblock on a stick. C'mon. Tell me you 'love G.I. Joe for the military escapism' and I will tell you to shut your stupid mouth and look at my shirtless bird guy.

This is the day a friendship died.
The CLAW is beefy! It might be the first vehicle that's relatively bigger for the scale.
G.I. Joe survives precisely because it's military semi-realism vs shirtless bird guy. It's the PB& J of the toy world.
@fletch Our friendship can't die because you're too busy looking at my shirtless bird guy to go anywhere.
It’s still military escapism……just that the enemy can be ancient snake and bug people. And there are ninjas and samurais on your team….and theirs.
Don't forget evil dentists, twins who can feel each others pain, and pro-wrestlers who train soldiers and occasionally join them on the battlefield (both sides).
Amazing reveals!
Raptor looks great with the mechanical wings. It’s a significant improvement for me.
Road Pig also got a major upgrade. Love that he’s actually a big guy now and the pig mask and pet dog are both very cool.
HALO jumper trooper looks like Hit & Run, who was one of my favorite Joes. That’s a must-have.
Steel Corps Leader vs. Twilight Guard Crimson Guard looks amazing. I love these character designs and all the weapons. Both of these look super cool to me.
