Pretty good all around

Hawk Something about that jacket doesn't "feel" right, but beyond that I can't see any problems.

Bazooka This is the one figure of the set that has me a bit stumped, something isn't quite there about him. Something about the face, sorry I just can't place it. I like him, don't get me wrong but still.

Barbecue Excellent. All that I can think to say

B.A.T. Very good, I think they went a little too thin on the head but hey, it works (BAT was one of the few figs I felt justified a "Melon head" )

Snow Serpent Very cool, surprizingly looks a bit "think" in the legs surprizingly

Storm Shadow gold weapons, black outfit, don't even tell me that ain't Ninja Ku. Cool. Anyone else hopeing for Tiger Force Outback, Yellow Torpedo and Red Laser in all this now?

Bazooka -- this has to be a prototype. That "14" is just way too sloppy not to be. As I had a hunch, it's not going to be easy to get that "14" around the mid-torso articulation in any case.

I agree. Bazooka also doesnt have double jointed knees. The only figures in the line so far like that are Destro and Roadblock , Bazooka doesnt have either of their legs. I doubt they would make a 3rd set of single jointed legs.

Anyone else notice the BAT now has removable weapons on both arms now? :brawlin:

They all look quite nice, and my wallet is going to be hurting.

One thing though, the BAT has a larger upper torso, why can't the rest of the figures have one that size?

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm really excited about these. Will definitely but them all (as my wallet gently weaps).

I'm excited about Hawk. After seeing the previews of the Command pack, I honestly thought he'd be a straight Duke repaint, but alas they surprised me.

That BAT arm will make some awesome potential for Terminator customs.

Regarding some of the other comments -- wouldn't be a BIT surprised to see them use the BBQ body for Airtight, and if they ever do get around to an Alley-Viper -- which color scheme? There's been so many, and given how impressive some of the later ones were in the traditional format, do you REALLY want ol' bright orange-and-blue? 8-O

Granted, I actually liked the yellow and black myself... :-D

Absolutely! Orange & blue, total v1 style!

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.

AH! Don't give them any more ideas! We may even see a Ninja Viper too darn them! I guess I can scrap my custom Ninja-Ku then.
Now this is the way to reuse parts! Not like Major Bludd's mish mash. They should have used those Hawk parts for Steeler!

these are cool. Baz is my least favorite just cuz of his head, otherwise a great wave.

Storm Shadow in Black and Gold...

Give him a terrible towel, make him related to the late Myron Cope somehow, and put him in for the Steelers!

They still could. And, if they don't, I might.

Think there's a picture of Steeler in this month's MC newsletter if you wanted to check.

Viper, why don't you just starting PM scans of it to us since you know so much? :-P

I'm not sold on Hawk's face but the rest of the figure I'm loving.

My printer's busted. I'll see if I can do anything with my camera...

Storm Shadow: Why can't they just make a new head and a darker flesh tone and let it be Ninja-Ku? Idiots.

I am sooo siked that they are giving us this NINJA-KU guy but like pastnastification said why didnt they make darker flesh tones and let it be just ninja-ku!!! Im okay with the same head but why didnt they do the darker skin and name him Ninja -Ku ! they were sooooo close to perfection on him, too bad because so wont buy it because of it, me, im buying it , its close enough for me LOL

heres hoping the box art is the same as the original ninja-ku at least

and heres to more Argentina and UK international variants!
