Both look great, but I’m especially pumped for the Frag Viper since I had him when I was a kid.

Blowtorch is going to look so goofy next to the Anniversary Firemen figures, I can't wait.  Frag Viper is an instant buy.  Maybe two.  Here's another picture floating around that shows Heavy Duty:

Hard to say for sure but it looks like Heavy Duty will introduce a lot of new parts to the big body selection so that's fantastic.  I'm sure I'm not the only one sick of Wave 1 Roadblock legs with the one kneepad.  Looking forward to seeing how Flint and Cover Girl turn out.

Bah! After I went out of my way and bought an extra loose Tele Viper from the Bubble. 

Happy to see Flint though. The first one is fine, but excited to see what a retro looks like.

Looking forward to retro Flint. I procrastinated on retroing one of the originals so now I don't have to.

I'm glad they went full on with the mustard and ketchup for Blowtorch. Frag Viper and Heavy Duty look great.

Nemesis Enforcer remains mostly good, but I can't believe they can look at those puny, insubstantial wings and not realize they diminish his entire essence.

Again the Joe team hits it out of the park! Every reveal a winner.

This line really can't miss with reveals, can it? I actually retro'd a Flint on my own because I thought the vest was too bulky on him, but I'll gladly put my weak custom away for a real one. I really like the first Cover Girl but a Different look/head sculpt would easily sell me on another. I forgot about Frag Vipers! That's awesome. Never got a second Tele Viper from the bubble and wanted to use the alternate heads, so this offers an option there, I think. 

Blowtorch. Give me all the corny original designs, please. Give me those McDonalds yellows and reds on him! 

I'm really intrigued to see Nemesis Enforcer in hand.

Frag Viper - I kept skipping this one as a kid. Classifieds version looks like a lot of fun maybe get a couple. 

Televiper- Getting one for the retro card. 

Heavy Duty- Dontknow much about him but he looks fun.  All that  heavy ordinance on him makes him absurdly cool.   

Flint - Classic version finally. 

Nemesis Enforcer- Cobra La’s first foot in the door with Classifieds. Very excited to get him. 

Cover Girl- I’m  hoping she comes with a non heavy makeup face. Also hoping her hair is swappable and she comes with her short hair style too. Seems she is going to be single carded?  Less chance of seeing a Wolverine any time soon?  

Blowtorch- Classifieds version looks good. Instant buy. But you know this figure is primed for a retro release later. And I’ll get that too.

Was kinda hoping for an unhelmeted head for Blowtorch. Should have known he was coming after Torch was released. I have never seen that Viper before, so that's a maybe. Retro Tele for the carded collection, Flint was always my leader, so buying him twice for sure, plus Cover Girl in her cartoon look? Absolutely.

That's funny, I mentioned something similar to my one collecting-friend-in-real-life, since he texted me these pictures first thing this morning. I never understood how the Frag Viper worked. Did grenades get sucked down the hose like a deadly bingo machine? Then I assume he chucks them at the enemy? Are the frag vipers undefeated at lacrosse?

Aren’t Frag Vipers like Jai alai players?  I’m guessing a grenade ejects from the backpack and goes down the tube and into the claw launch thingy. The Frag Viper takes a second to let the grenade situate itself in the claw before swinging his arm and launching the grenade at the enemy. At least that’s how I think it works……

Like he's playing fetch with his dog and doesn't want to throw out his shoulder?  Okay I'm sold.
