While we haven’t gotten word yet from Hasbro PR if these images are available through their channels site sponsor BigBadToyStore has shared their images with our buddies at The Terror Drome, and I’ve also mirrored them below. These don’t offer a whole lot more detail than what we’ve seen previous, other to reiterate the fact that this wave looks awesome. Yes, another Duke, another Snake Eyes, and another Storm Shadow, but this Snake Eyes may be one of the best Snake Eyes figures we’ve seen yet, and Duke, even with the way-too-freaking-big shoulder-rockets is a pretty bad ass version of the Joe Top Kick. The one low point of the wave would certainly seem to be spring-loaded Storm Shadow.
Don’t even get me started on the Cobra Shock Trooper. It would certainly appear Cobra is making urban environments a priority with this guy and the Alley-Viper unleashed on the world. Check out the images below.

Now that’s the Snake Eyes I want! Don’t want these two current POC versions.
That Duke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!
The shock trooper is also a must.
SHOCK!!!!111111!!!!one
Yeah, I’m getting a squad together. Hopefully Hasbro realizes the need to extra-pack these guys.
Yeah, Storm Shadow is the week link, parts will be useful (especially if his chest armor can come off).
But that Duke looks versatile, and begging for some combat webbing. That Snake-Eyes is the one for FOREVER! and The Shock-Trooper is a must (though it doesn’t knock the Resolute Trooper off the top for me).
Yeah… definitely going to have to get that Duke and make him a Rock’n’Roll.
The Cobra Shock trooper has a really good look… but the head seems like it’s a bit of a week point, and there’s so much gear that I’m sure a lot of people are actually going to end up a bit disappointed, just for having like 3 guns with no place to stow them. Also, the weapon load out is a bit ‘Cop’ for Cobra. I mean, if this is supposed to be part of the Broca Beach SWAT team, I guess it works, but the tazer and riot shield seem a bit too… less lethal for Cobra.
That Snake Eyes is, again only missing trench knives in order to be perfect in every way. Still hoping that they do a swappable heads deal, rather than the running change variant route; I really don’t want it to be a pain to get the head I want.
but this Snake Eyes may be one of the best Snake Eyes figures we’ve seen yet,
You keep saying that…
and I am adding this one to the list as well.
Hasbro could do a LOT worse than to stick a new head and gear on that Duke and give us a Psyche-Out somewhere down the line.
As it is, that backpack could be great for Fast Draw, Flak-Viper, and possibly even Metalhead customs… Man I love this line. Every figure is just chock-full of possibilities. 🙂
These are the official pics from Hasbro (BBTS has the same ones in their product listings) so I’m going out on a limb and assuming the extra head does come with Snake-eyes. I just want the commando head though. I have plenty of the visor head in my collection so this will be a nice addition to spice things up.
Also got my squad of Shock Troopers preordered so I won’t miss them like I did the Alley Viper.
