Looks good. I'm loving the Cobra Commander.

Well, going by this article

It seems that the Joe vehicle drivers will be indeed limited to 5 points of articulation/POAs, damn.... good thing we aren't expecting any drivers that are unique characters (like, say, Rampage from the RHINO).


Bruce Willis looks good

It seems the grip of those WONDERFUL MISSILE GUNS are now sculpted into the hand?? Which would explain that thing that Roadblock was holding in previous press pics.

Look closely at the right hand in the MOC figure:

Double damn...



Also, according to another article in Generalsjoes, supposedly the wave 2 figures are the ones to get since they are the movie accurate figures?

Generalsjoes has a review for the Retalliation Roadblock from the 3pack.

http://generalsjoes.com/reviews/2012/re ... block.html


... and yes, you can use the body for a sexier Sgt Slaughter! (see bottom of the link) Of course the one from the 3pack is camo-painted so one would have to settle for the single pack version of Roadblock for better colors for Sarge.


The review also states a way to work around those horrible hands Roadblock has for the oversized launchers. Fists swapping with Retaliaton Snake Eyes seems to be the best way to do it (short of having to find an extra POC Low Light).

Joe Retalliation pushed back to March 2013!!!!!!

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=90579


Seriously, does anyone really believe that it's because of the 3D? That sort of decision making is made waaay before a month before the movie rolls out. Besides, 3D didn't help Battleship in the US much ;D


I think it's mostly due to the timing of the movie coming a week before Spidey and Batman, Paramount thinks they will lose money and again hence the push back to a later date.


The big question is, what will happen to the toys? Sure we'll get wave 1, since it's already shipped out, but the rest? I think the remaining waves will most likely be pushed back too.


I'm almost afraid this move will kill the Joe line entirely.



If the world ends in Dec 2012, we'll never know if Duke dies or not in the movie
