They ain't corrupted this time. They've been removed. Funny.

Either way, still a poor reflection of what should be an exciting announcement for those who care about the new crap.

Hawk - I'm a happy camper. Love this figure
Bazooka - Nice, not a huge fan of the character. Can't wait to see the backpack though
Barbecue - looks great, but like Bazooka, not a big fan. I would be curious to see if the helmet is removable in some capacity
B.A.T. - Looks amazing.
Snow Serpent - Looks nice, but not feeling it though. I think I still like the original better. Really curious to see if he shares parts
Storm Shadow- looks cool, plus one of my fav 25th molds. But like others have said, I really wish they would have called him "Black Dragon Ninja" and giving him a darker complexion.

I'm gonna say Barbeque doesn't have a removeable helmet as it just looks too small.

And Trekker, they did the BAT's dchest like they did CC's, bringing it down so the joint's just above the beltline, enabling them to keep the lenticular all one piece.

WTF's with the pics removal, dammit? Quit being such a cock-tease!

The Club says "they're adding details" so the pic's will be back later.

I wonder why the images were pulled? I know Hasbro and the Club work quite closely together. I'll admit I was curious with regard to a couple of question I posed in another thread concerning these figures, especially with regard to whether Barbecue had a removeable helmet, and whether the BAT had a lenticular motion chestplate. Anyone who SAW the pictures before they were removed care to comment?

No lenticular chest on the BAT. he has a full sculpt inner chest with a blue plastc cover. There's a "shattered glass" battle damage version to place on the chest too. Bazooka's helmet looked like it came off.

All of the figures looked great. Even Storm Shadow in black looked pretty good even though I don't think I'll bother with another Storm Shadow. I wonder why they pulled the pics?

Bah. I had made a new chat room any everything. :-(

Matthew sucks.

Edit: Oh, wait... I've got Hawk and Snow Serpent. :-P

Hmm, Ninja-Ku eh? Why not a Ninja Viper then?
BBQ is Ok, Bazooka is meh.
But the BATs! Whoa! Very cool.

I really wish they'd give us the last of the original 13 before guys like Bazooka & BBQ.

Looks like they're back up as I just opened them again.

Thanks Matt.

They look good, though I'm not entirely thrilled with the BAT, which is good, cause it saves me money. Was Hawk the '86 version?
