Pythona is a good choice.

I can't pretend to care about MASS Baroness.
Destro comes with a head with goo on it from Pyramids of Darkness.
What is the shovel a reference of for Flint? I can't place it. Looks like he jumped right out of the cartoon.
I did... and I feel horrible, I did pre-order Lady Jaye. I did have a crush on her as a kid (and Sunbow did give us plenty fan service moments, lol). She'll make a good display piece... if its ever made/shipped, of course. LOL

Thanks for the heads up! Preordered :-)
I think you're going to be really happy with Lady Jaye :-)
There's got to be some scene where Flint uses a shovel at some point in the cartoon,
but it's going straight to the parts bin.

It's sad when the three of us cannot think of shovel reference. Is the remote think from Watchdog?
I'm most impressed by Baroness, because this is what, only the second time she's been accurate done in her blue look.
Destro's accessories are impressive. I think the lava/red mud head is a bit overboard, but they did also include the sander.

It's sad when the three of us cannot think of shovel reference. It's not our fault they chose a non-iconic piece...at the end of the day, a shovel is a shovel.

Gamemaster Toy Soldier... and "blue shirts" I guess Navy sailors?

So, the Gamemaster's soldier is a happy faced Snow Serpent. Bludd's helmet seems off. The Shock Trooper's differences seem to be guns and one has blue instead of green. But other two are the same? We really need Honda Lou, Satin and Selena...the late Latina singer, not the cartoon character.

I'd rather just a Gamesmaster figure. I'd actually buy that. LOL

That would make sense. Brian Flynn being all over the place because he thinks these will go the distance. Why the focus on good guy army builders for two waves straight? (For a toy line I suspect most people buying won't open) Why obsess over minutia like Shock Trooper guns, Cobra trooper webgear, etc?

5-point articulation is just not G.I.JOE.

I am not against them as sort of novelty items, but the price point of 18 bucks is insane.
But at least do some of the toon characters who've never got figures (the ladies as Bravo mentioned, Gamesmaster, Hector Ramirez, etc).

Arctic rescue "vehicle" with glowing Snake-Eyes and God Blind Woodsman. $75 but Hasbro never would've made it.

75 bucks. You get 6 dogs, Snake Eyes, the Old Man and a sled.
If a Reaction figure is 18 bucks on its own, the other stuff is 39 bucks about.
I'm trying to load up BBTS, but for whatever reason, I can't this evening. Hmmm.
