Thanks for those pics, GH! The BAT looks even cooler with your pics, as I didn't see any of the accessories on any of the other sites. The 'battle damage' stuff is pretty cool.

Yah, much thanks, Justin. Hasbro should hire you to be their official press photog. You're the only person that can both pose stuff correctly and get good pics of it as well.

I can hear my bank account screaming in pain! Thanks for all the links and reviews guys. Going to be a long, interesting year!

Justin, many thanks for the excellent pics! Still poring over them...

The BAT is a fanboy's dream. I swear, I can't believe they're packing so much detail and accessorization into it. Going to make it well worth the wait. Outstanding!

Finally...finally...a near-as-possible toon-accurate Lady Jaye! 23 years without was long enough, Hasbro. Thanks!

Baroness in scuba outfit for the win! The toon Cobra Soldier looks pretty dang sweet too.

I WANT THAT LIFE-SIZED COBRA COMMANDER WALL DECORATION!!! 8-O

Is it just me or does the Hiss driver's upper chest look kind big and rounded? kinda female? If so then Baroness is getting a few new armored female guards

Damn! They went and gave Destro green eyes. Now they're forcing me to buy that set. Ridiculous, all of it.

Quick impressions:

The 12" figures- ugh, the molded shirts! I guess with Sideshow doing the upscale versions Hasbro decided to just go with what they had on hand. I already have better versions of these guys, pass.

Figures- I'm a suck for the 25th anniversary stuff, so I've already decided I'm going to get everything. Even though I already have all of the 'toons that will be coming out, the figures and the MASS Device and the Weather Dominator make them hard to pass up.

Vehicles- When I first saw the Trouble Buuble, I though to myself "Well, Joemichaels70 doesn't have to scour the sales floor at the convention anymore!". Since I never had a TB, I can't wait to get it.

Ok, my biggest gripe is Steeler, the face looks to be about 60 years old! And where are his image intensifiers?!

Overall, '08 is looking good, and expensive!

Holy crap.

I wish all the figures got handled like the bat did. One package gets me swaable heads and an extra pack with canister and spores! That is the greatest thing evar!

The cartoon stuff all pwns!

Who'd of thunk we would get a dive suit baroness that is awesome.
Lady J is great with awesome acc. and a perfect hatless head
all these [LASER BLAST] accessories and dio pieces are great.
I'd like a troop pack of cartoon troops.
Irradiated Snake eyes is cool.

Now we need joes in those yellow wet suits and joes and cobras in arctic gear.

Duke still has crap arms. I'd like to see that tiger force flint show up in V1 colors, those arms are much better.

The vehicles are so full of win it's pathetic. I've always wanted about 10 more trouble bubbles now it looks like I'll get them. The updates to every vehicle look good even the Armadillo.

I really want to see what gear comes with that televiper.

So whats the black hiss v1 on hasbros site? does the Rocket hiss come with rockets?

Crossing my fingers for a new sky hawk they can retool the belly guns.

Looking at the vehicle updates can you imagine what an updated whale would look like?

Edited: Lady J looks like Raquel Welch time for a one million years BC custom

Battle Packs:

- Each Battle Pack will come with a segment of the MASS Device (5 in total) and you can buy them all, then build the MASS Device, and yes it is in scale with the figures.

That explains why the MASS Device set comes with four figures but the seemingly smaller Weather Dominator only has three, but I'm a bit confused. Exactly what parts of the MASS Device come in the set with the MASS Device DVD?

$10 says the Hiss driver body gets re-used to make a Tripwire.

I'm loving every single piece shown except for Tiger Force and Python Patrol.

Not taking that bet, as it's already announced as a wave.. 6? comic pack.

As for the Python trooper, oh my, that suit looks good in black. But I've never liked the yellow and green scheme, so I might be able to pass on that style.

I hope.

Y'know it would b REALLY easy to swap the webgear and kneepads with a regular blueshirt.

He'd look really cool with the grey Officer gear.

Just helping out

I wonder what the other cartoon packs will come with:

a BET?
Pyramid of Darkness?
Serpentor cloning tubes?
