Iron Man (Marvel Now) I actually like this variation of the IM armor. Black and gold go well together.  With the other Marvel Now “Big 3” War Machine (Movie series) Basically a repaint of the Iron Man 3 Iron Patriot figure. Comes with James Rhodes (actor Don Cheadle) unmasked head. Blizzard I wish he came with some effects accessories Doctor Strange (Marvel Now) At least the doc comes with effects parts The Vision (Marvel Now) Not really liking the cape sculpt on this figure. With his wife Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) Valkyrie She’s taller than most ML figures. The sculpting on her is pretty good. She looks like she’s a real warrior. With Hasbro’s previous attempt at making a Marvel Legends Valkyrie (from the 2pack with the Ed Mcguiness Hulk) Thundra I wish her ball was bit bigger, seems kind of small to be considered a real weapon. I’m not really familiar with Thundra. But I am glad they’re making more female figures for this line. Build a Figure – Age of Ultron movie Hulkbuster Man, This thing is huge! Not to mention heavy! 882 Grams. Unfortunately, the knee joints are a bit loose. I don’t know if this is a general problem as both knees are loose on my figure. Luckily it’s solid enough to stand properly despite of this setback. The full wave! Gold

Marvel Universe Ant Man Movie - Ant Man and Ant
I really enjoyed the Ant Man movie, like a lot! It’s a damn shame the figure never arrived locally (WTH Playkit?) But I was fortunate enough to ask my sister to get this for me in TRU Hong Kong (it’s also out in Singapore).
The figure luckily sports classic Marvel Universe articulation (not just the measily 5 POAs). It even has rocker ankles.
Ant Man’s ride, “Antony”. The figure is very articulated.
Definitely one of the better Marvel Universe sets. It really sucks it never arrive here, I’m sure a lot of kids would’ve loved to have this toy.

Tiger Force Flint (from wave 8 of the 25th Anniversary line, released in 2008)
Of course he comes with his signature weapon- the shotgun
Pistol
Flint’s the Tiger Force team leader.

Gi Joe FSS 2.0 Wave 1 (TF Shipwreck and TF Airtight) Well, it’s finally time to open these guys. I’m glad I didn’t sell them back then. Tiger Force Shipwreck I find it creepy that my figure of TF Shipwreck has unevenly painted eyes. It makes him look like he has a glass eye or something…. Harpoon gun Tiger Force Airtight Lol.. his helmet comes with the has-mat logo stamped on. He doesn't come with his "sniffer" geiger counter accessory. But he does come with a pulse rifle. Gold

Gi Joe - Joe Con 2015 Boxset Figures (Tiger Force vs. Iron Grenadiers) Tiger Force Stalker Gaaaah! They misprinted the nameplate base.. talk about luck of the draw!!!!! Backpack Satellite phone Stores into backpack too. Say hello to my little friend…. Tiger Force Lifeline I don’t think I’ll ever get used to Lifeline holding a gun. This seems more in character.  Stretcher and Med kit Tiger Force Big Brawler According to the Club comic, Big Brawler got this sword as a trophy for knocking out a ninja. Pretty bada$$... but you gotta feel sorry for the poor ninja though. One day, I’m going to have to breakout all the Joes who carry heavy machine guns and put ‘em together. That would probably look really cool. Tiger Force Sgt Sabretooth (formerly Wreckage) Just like the vintage Wreckage figure, this fella is a repaint of Firefly. I bet it’s going to get pretty awkward when they run into each other….. For some reason, his explosives aren’t removable, unlike the original Firefly figure from the Retaliation 3pack. Tiger Force Recondo Personally I find this to be the weakest figure in the set. The colors pale too far from the vintage versions. Plus the sculpt was never really good IMHO. Too bad, this guy was one of my favorites in the cartoons. “Oh Crap.. I shot Flint by accident…” Tiger Force Dialtone Comes with computer briefcase with additional gun. Tiger Force Team Gold

Iron Grenadiers
General Mayhem
From what I understand he’s supposed to be General Ironbear from the Oktober Guard team?
Guess he’s a fan of Batman?
Metal-head
I love the headsculpt, hate pretty much everything else.
When they first announced Metal Head I was excited, then we got this and it feels so wrong. It may be an update version of the fan-favorite character but it just comes out terrible for me. The weakest part is the use of the Pursuit of Cobra missile set from Duke. I really wish they go back and redo this figure properly.
Uhm… bang?
Undertow Officer
Hey! A female Cobra officer! Sweet! The head is a reuse of Pilot Scarlet/Night Force pilot Freestyle.
Be warned! Once you put on the helmet, it’s pretty darn hard to take it off.
I wonder why they didn’t make the fins removable?
She comes with a barracuda.
Undertow
The Undertow’s footwear are removable, plus it even folds. It’s a shame they didn’t put these on the Office too..
The Undertows also come with sleds
Iron Anvil
I love the design on these guys, given the choice I would’ve loved to army build 10 each of these fellas, along with the Undertows. Sigh.. but that would be too costly.
The only downside is that the paint on the gun handles of these figures rub off way too easily. Yuck…
Anvils go!
The Iron Anvil Team
The whole box

Gi Joe - Joe Con 2015 Tiger Sting with Bazooka It’s been a while since we’ve seen this character. It’s nice to see it again. Tiger Sting Jeep Uhmm… I think Bazooka’s too tall for this vehicle??? Thank goodness for the sunroof. Missile rack Gas cans Shovel and tarp(?) I really love how they used tampos this time instead of just stickers. Kudos to the Joe Club Gold

Gi Joe - Joe Con 2015 Tiger Shark with Felino
Unlike Shipwreck (Marujo) and Airtight (Ar Puro), who were kept to their original US names this time around, the Club maintainted Dusty as Felino in his Brazilian name and character. I guess we’ll get proper Tiger Force Dusty (sports a different color pattern from Felino) later..?
Call me Dusty again, I dare ya…
Tiger Shark
As a nice added bonus, they included the (optional) new missile launcher from the Joe Retaliation version of this vehicle.

Gi Joe - Joe Con 2015 Tiger Hawk Helicopter With the Crew Set comes with 4 headsets…. …..Unfortunately, the whole crew looks stupid when you put it on them. Skystriker originally came with the Tiger Rat. I guess he and Wild Bill will have to trade vehicles, as Bill’s more suited for the Tiger Hawk IMHO. Opening engine covers Cargo ramp Rescue winch Armaments Folding rotors Tiger Force crew onboard Gold

Gi Joe - Joe Con 2015 Tiger Hawk crew 3pack
Skystriker
Sigh… I really hate that they had to reuse vehicle codenames for characters. It makes no sense. I mean, I can’t blame them back in the day, but they could’ve renamed this fella to be something more contemporary and folks would still recognize him as Skystriker.
Alpine
I never liked this design of Alpine (based from the Valor vs Venom line, I think). But I do like the headsculpt, lol… makes me think of Eddie Murphy.
Lol… Green Nerf Guns?
Frostbite
Sniper Rifle
The Tiger Hawk Crew

Gi Joe - Joe Con 2015 IG Mantis Sub
Vehicle is a retool from the original Mantis sub that came out in the Valor vs Venom line (also appeared in the Rise of Cobra, Adventure Team toylines as well)
Spring-gimmick pincer claws.
Hidden missile spring-loaded launchers
C0ckpit’s a little bare.
Rotating propellers and folding fins.
I totally skipped on this vehicle when it came out in the ROC line, now that actually have it, I think it’s one of the cooler Cobra water vehicle designs. It’s a real shame we don’t get blueprints with convention vehicles though…..
With the Undertows

The elite Gi Joe Tiger Force team so far.
Vehicles
The vintage Tiger Force toy Commercial
Admittedly I forgot to include Tiger Rat with TF Wild Bill. I’ll try to redo the team shot once we get the upcoming members like TF Outback and Sneak Peek in the upcoming FSS wave 4.0
