You know, it's bad enough that I think the 25th Anny stuff is crap, but now they even went from 3 figures in a comic Pack to two! Blah!

I think it's now down to 2 figures in comic packs because that's how the Star Wars one's run.

I'm actually liking this line a lot, and I'm not ashammed to admit that. However, that said, I do not feel that the 25th is in any way shape or form a continuation of the Joe lines of the past. Instead it's a new start, similar to what Mattel and Playmates did with He-Man and Ninja Turtles. I guess there's a big nostalgia factor here for me as well, as I do love ripping them out of the oldschool cards!

And the CG looks sweet! Despite his tiny helmet. Wave 5 looks to be the best yet, what with the CG, Flash, and Destro not to mention the all black Snake Eyes (finally!). I'm really looking forward to Flash though!!!

I'm really hoping they get to Recondo and Alpine soon!!!

I agree with you completely, Prince Adam -- I see this as an all-new line. The fact that they're not to scale with the old stuff, as well as being total remakes of the old designs rather than revamps we've had previously (and seen in the comics), cements that for me.

It's how I'm justifying not actually collecting the line, because I don't have the money or space to start ANOTHER toy collection -- same rationale as I applied to Sigma 6 (both sizes). It's going to annoy me if they make characters who've never been done in 3.75" (like Billy). Maybe I'll cave then. And I can see myself being OK with BATs...

True totally PA

I don't like these as much as the older Joes, but since I don't have many figures, I bought some 25th aniversary ones. I promise I will post some pics soon!

Yeah, they're kinda like mini-Marvel Legends I think. I don't know where the whole Microman analogy came from, but that's highly unrealistic.

yes a new breaker figure and he's not in comic colors like the other comic pack version, kinda glad that they brought him out early but sad knowing that i'll probably never find him cause my area is as dry as a bone when it comes to 25th stuff :(

I preordered a set of the comic packs at www.bigbadtoystore.com (BBTS) , I really wanted assurance I'd that get the Nok set, plus the stickers to mail away for Docs.

[gogorobo]

i might have to pre-order as well, i really want that breaker and not having to run around to like twenty different targets, walmarts , and toys r us' just to try and get enough to mail away for doc makes the pre-order seem like a way better idea

You guys are gonna kill me, but I'm excited that the 5-packs are being broken down into singles. If only for the fact that they will be easier to display. I somehow missed the fact that Breaker is coming out. That's sooooo cool cuz us fans need a comm guy. Sure, I'd choose DialTone over him but I'll take any we can get. I'm not overly excited by Wave1 of 2008. Flash is about it. Snow Job looks great but I've never been fond of snow troopers. I doubt I'll even take Destro, Black SE and the CG out of package.

I'm MOST interested in the Dreadnoks because it's been how long since we can have the 3 original 'noks finally together??? Even if you aren't a Dreadnoks fan, you gotta admit, you can't really just have 1. Gotta have all 3.

Now here's something I don't know. The point of the comic packs was to relive the old days and use the ARAH sculpts. What do THESE comic packs contribute? A way to get more figures out to the public? A chance to reuse the molds to break even on production costs? Will we end up seeing these as singles eventually?
