Once more the guys and gals at TNI have brought us up to date with what's coming soon. This time it's images to the upcoming, and much awaited, GI Joe "Hall of Heroes". And I gotta say, if you're one of those waiting anxiously for this line... well... don't shoot the messenger. -Jim

Meh...There doesn't seem to be a whole lot special about them, other than the packaging and the gold stands. Maybe some extra accessories. The weathered boots on some look kinda goofy since the rest of the figure isn't like that. It woulda been nice to see the whole figure with that kind of attention. Anyway...I do like Firefly. Since I tend to get out of the loop sometimes...did another version of Firefly come with that awesome backpack?? I spose if they do well and H decides to make more and Shipwreck happened to be one of them, I might pick him up.

It's odd, though. These were supposedly decided by the fans and voted on well before some of those figures were ever released. Not to mention, a couple of those figures in that particular construction (namely Firefly), were never released! Now, calculate in how long it takes to make these after tallying up the votes and all the planning and I'd say that this all started well before half the original releases of these figures ever saw fan-hands. Analysis: The voting was a farce, of course, and Hasbro just put out what they felt like, the fans' votes be damned. As usual. Oh, and Amy, hate to rain on yourparade, but this was originally announced as a straight 10-figure line, just the best-of-the-best. But as usual, Hasblo missed the mark by a wide margin once more. And furthermore, did we really need two SE's for this set? -Jim Edited by WWCD, Feb 1 2009, 02:16 PM.

What a load of crap if you really wanna know how I feel, I'm just glad I never really and fully got on board with the 25th stuff... not to take away from all the nice customs that you guys have worked and put in efforts into since the line's inaugural debut. I think it's a nice idea, but like everyone else has suggested and stated already... It's another mishap with a vintage toy line's golden days gone wrong in this millenia

I might be on board for that SE w/timber, as the wolf is a new mold. Along similar lines, if those become the only source for parts , I will likely snag a few for conversions - especially as these are likely to be discounted soon enough. But, no way in heck am I collecting this line for itself. Dom -likely to drop the line at this rate.

Meh...rain on my parade...Eventually I'll just customize my OWN HOF Shippy and wave it in Hasbro's face, fancy gold stand and all. Yeah, take that. rolls eyes realizes that jeezohpete she's gonna need yet ANOTHER Shipwreck and maybe needs a closer look at comic FF And beside, I'm digging the pic I saw of a supposed Resolute Shippy. Yeah, Dom, the wolf does look like a good update. But really...how much man-crushing on SE can they dish out? And in a supposedly exclusive 10 figure line...

Oy. Wish the pic was bigger...does he have a new/different leg mold? And obviously Polly's different. MUST HAVE BIGGER PICTURE... LOL! What I was talking about was in a thread at JBL which I can't find at the moment...probly because I'm looking for it...and I swear the source labeled it resolute, but here is a link for movie toys: Coil Club What struck me about it was the very Sigma look to chest. Man I like both of them! I am such a geek...

Spammenator 3.0 Posts: 640 Group: The Admins Member #6 Joined: February 9, 2007	I think I have finally found a picture of the Shipwreck that MAC is talking about. The upcoming movie version has a torso similar to Sigma Six styling. I personally will pass on most of the smaller movie toy line items as they are simply retools of items already available. If they make some of the bigger items, I'll be all over them.
