themoney75 11-06-2007, 05:57 PM cool cant wait both look great.
Super Sport 11-06-2007, 05:57 PM Good stuff! The fact that these are carded samples makes my wallet nervous...
HXDelgado 11-06-2007, 05:59 PM The card backs are looking good with the old style of showing everyones pics. They still have silver on the front :(

XtremeWRATH360 11-06-2007, 06:22 PM Im drooling at the thought of a Crimson Guard army in my control.:D
Bigtattoo 11-06-2007, 06:32 PM Ive not been overly impressed by the 25th figs so far-
but Im loving that Destro.
Looks great

Ugh, Snow Job has that awful rifle. :mad:
rnrhero 11-06-2007, 07:07 PM Neil Hoffman let me hold the Prototype CG at the Joecon this year and let me tell you, I was blown away by the detail. That and the Doc fig were unbelievable. If the production was are as good, I will be army building about 50 of these CG's.
cobra1984 11-06-2007, 08:25 PM I cant wait to get the Crimson Guard I CANT WAIT!!! I WANT IT NOW!!!
Why is Hasbro revolver happy with this wave? Everyone's got a revolver... I thought the CG's had a sawed-off shotgun...
When's the anticipated drop?
rodney 11-07-2007, 04:09 AM Ugh, Snow Job has that awful rifle. :mad:
But the figure rocks!
as do most of the others, especially Destro and Crimson Guard...
Also now matter how many Snake Eyes figures they make, they still look good!
On toywiz.com it says they are due to ship in Febuary...

I think Snow jobs "pistol" is a Flare gun:confused:
quintonarledge 11-07-2007, 08:29 AM I'll buy one of each just to have carded. Then I'll get a Destro, Snow Job & Flash to open. I would like to get around 8-10 loose CGs. That's as far as I want to go troop-building them. I'll pass on an opened SE, though.
Also, it looks like each case will have 2x Crimson Guards and one of each of the rest plus a Shipwreck (?)
CobraGang 11-07-2007, 09:14 AM This line started off a little rugged, but is now shaping up pretty nice. Maybe in a year or so from now Hasbro will actually have at least a 4 foot section of single carded figures and vehicles in stores. :D
Erick 11-07-2007, 09:45 AM The Crimson Guard looks perfect, I didn't like Destro's gun though,
Thanks for the exclusive pics :)

Aye, I wasnt too sure about that either.
Think Ill be pimping a Desert Eagle and a couple of other guns will be getting gold plating.

MikePrime 11-07-2007, 02:21 PM Destro is The Man With the Golden Gun.
Anyway, he and CG having revolvers isn't so bad. Destro's revolver looks pretty powerful. Now, the CG's revolver looks something out of the wild west. Considering that the original only came with an AK, it's not so bad for the Crimson Guard to have an extra gun. Heck, if they were good enough for Patton, they should be good enough for Cobra's elite soldiers.
Now that Hasbro has made that wild west revolver, I hope they have to the good sense to give a pair of them to Wild Bill; should they ever get around to making a new figure.
Syna3sthesia 11-07-2007, 03:45 PM I can't wait to get my hands on those figs!!!

the original CG has a revolver sculpted to his leg, so it isn't an extra gun per se or Hasbro going revolver happy, it is an accurate update of the original figure but now with the revolver removable.

Well, so far, 3 of the 5 figs have revolver's (CG, SJ & D..O ). I'm not ripping on the revolver, it is a VERY accurate and RELIABLE sidearm, and it makes sense each of these guys would have one. I could have sworn that the original CG had a sawn-off shotgun on his side, not a revolver, but, what do I know, I'm just a [REMOVED IN FORESIGHT]...

The original CG did have a sawn-off shotgun sculpted on their leg...
I like seeing revolvers but its not really likely a Spec Ops team would ever carry them- theyre far more likely to have a large capacity mag.
I could totally see Destro carrying one though.

Dude, they're so good, they only need the 6-8 bullets (or 5)! :D

I haven't looked, but according to Hasbro the original CG had an old almost Civil War type pistol sculpted on their leg. They wanted to update that somewhat without radically changing the figure, so they went with a revolver on the 25th.

no kidding. I thought it was a revolver...but I am no gun expert. now I agree, what is with the revolver? hopefully a Marauder sawed off will fit in there.

ummm...according to Hasbro. I alway's figured the CG had the sawn-off, like Antonio Banderas in Desperado, and not an old 5-shooter revolver like Wild Bill Hickok. Sorry, I don't know any other people with these guns... But, a CG even with a two shot sawn-off would do a lot, but I guess an 5-shooter... aww, nevermind..
YELSEW 11-13-2007, 03:52 AM I love the Destro! I always used the V1 of this figure as my leader of Cobra. I never liked CC as my Cobra leader, he was just a figurehead.
Jestermon 11-13-2007, 08:03 AM I might have to get an extra crimson guard to "Pythonise"
