GNAWGAHYDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean what is there to say about his reveal? I love absolutely everything about it. From the Pets (a highly articulate Boar with a nose ring and one broken tusk? YES PLEASE!!)
He also has an earring in his left ear!
Jinx looks awesome, anyone screaming for the pyjamas and slippers look of the original can get in the bin imo.
Don't care about Night Creeper or the Tiger Force repaints, probably gonna skip Gnawhyde too (though I did say the same about Metalhead and ending up ordering him once the actual figure was shown) but very happy to see Doc at long last.
Has there been any mention if Doc’s stretcher can be folded or compacted? It looks it can be folded. Maybe it has a peg so that it can be carried like a backpack?

In the render I see both the hinge to fold and also pegs/holes for snapping it shut when in half. Looks like it is very well engineered, but I suppose we will see when we have it in hand.
Also: it occurs to me that the updates to Jinx put her more in line with Storm Shadow’s “look”, and that feels appropriate to me. I’d certainly buy a faithful Retro version, but I’m guessing this will be my preferred Jinx.
I really like this version of Jinx too. And I'm sure we'll get a RAH figure style Jinx on the Retro Cards at some point.
Might get Gnawgahyde just based on the sheer outlandishness of him. Amazon did notify me that my generic GI Joe frogman/Navy Seal did ship though. Should look good next to Torpedo. I'll have to see if it ever goes on sale so I can build out a bit with multiple frogmen.
Really excited for Jinx! Out of all of these I think she looks the best! I always felt the baggy pajamas always looked goofy, but to each their own. That unmasked headsculpt is just perfection.
Definitely grabbing Torch, Doc, and Gnawgahyde too.
Can't wait for Torch, since I haven't opened Buzzer or Ripper til I get him!
Ha! I thought I was the only weirdo doing this!
Torch and Doc are the only ones I'm interested in. Doc's chest gear will probably not stay on mine, but I'll have to see when I get him in hand.

Eugene will be thrilled to hear that.
Put me in the "love this Jinx" redesign camp too, but they'll get me twice if they release her in the classic look as well. Honestly I might get two of this one to display the masked and unmasked heads if I like the look well enough in hand. Aside from the occasional stuck joint issue, I've loved everything about this line and it keeps hitting home runs.
I like this new Jinx look aesthetically. But I was always taught that tattoos mean yakuza, so if you are of Japanese ancestry, then tattoos are in poor taste if you aren’t a criminal. Not a big deal though!
@jonaskane Considering they haven't even done a name only reveal for the JUMP I highly doubt they would debut it through a straight preorder.
More likely is either the SMS or the next wave to go for up for preorder (Doc, Jinx, etc)

Did they do a name only reveal for the Vamp or was it a lot of internet speculation before it was unveiled? I don't remember. The SMS would fit the hint, too.
Or it could be:
@grumpymatt One day.......One day.....I will make a life sized version of the POGO and BAM! POW! STRAIGHT TO THE MOON!!! (Why not throw in a Honeymooners reference since the last surviving main cast member died recently {it was Trixie by the way})
I think you might be right on the VAMP. I can't remember them doing a name only reveal before revealing it and putting it up for preorder. So maybe they could, but I think they have a lot of product to get out still and I am still putting my money on the SMS, or something we have already had revealed.
Especially since they revealed the SMS digital render quite a while ago now and still no preorder.
