F'n A hasbro blew it out of the park on this. I've got to have both!

Yeah, I'm getting that "Rassling" version for sure!

Dear Hasbro,

Thank you.

God I want the driver version. So bad.

Really cool figures. Hope I can score both come con time.

I dunno... he looks a bit tubby and not so much with the muscles. I may follow what a few other folks are doing with the Sgt. Slaughter head from the wrestling series figures on the body of the Jow with the chainsaw and Rock and Roll's name.

_________________

Well he's based on the real Sarge for a change, who's tubbier than his action figures and cartoon appearances would let on.

_________________

why base the joe version on the real version? if you want a real version buy a wrestling figure. The torso is simply lacking detail and fatty. Fail hasbro, Fail.

_________________

Crap. I'd want both. I hope they do put them both on HTS.

_________________

Have you seen the Build'n'Brawl Slaughter? It looks more like the old Joe figures in its rippedness than it does the real Sarge.
As a fan of the real Sarge who does not care for the cartoon portrayal, I am very happy Hasbro went for a real-world likeness.

_________________

I have seen the build n brawl (although not in person) but yeah he is beefy, but it's not joe size. I think they should have made the less beefy more realistic one, and hasbro made the Beefy one. I think they got it backwards.

_________________

Uh, yeah it is. The build'n'brawl line is in the same size class as the new Joes.

_________________

My wrestling one is a little short compared to 25th and RoC Joes. However I'd rather make a custom from his heroically over toned parts then shell out SDCC money on that pale tub of plastic.

_________________

I've seen the real Slaughter up close & he's not the skinny, detailess phail we're getting for SDCC. They figure they coukld save a buck not bothering to sculpt the arms or chest?

Uh - no it's not. Unless Slaughter is really only 5'8":



Joe-ish sized, maybe - but not compatible with Joes. Not without mods like Spin Doctor made.


As for the fig - I'm an unabashed Slaughter hater (he's a Cobra in my verse) but I like the tubby likeness here - I may snag one if it's not too spendy.
