Couldn’t quite get them all finished up last week, but I managed to wrap up the last three reviews among packing and moving this weekend, and you can check them all out on my G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page.

And, of course, do not forget that awesome review sponsor Big Bad Toy Store is loaded up with pre-orders for these figures and future ones as well! Wave 2 looks especially awesome with movie accurate Roadblock, Snake Eyes, Flint, and Firefly! Check out the links below.

What’s that you say? The Ghost Hawk II?! Is that even out yet?
No, it has not yet been released officially, though I was able to acquire a nearly complete sample (minus the Duke pilot, which was pretty heartbreaking, I gotta tell you). The good news is, the vehicle is on Pre-Order at Big Bad Toy Store, and honestly, I strongly believe it’s worth your consideration, especially at a very reasonable $24.99 price point.
It’s far from perfect, and actually I almost feel like I nitpick it a little bit too much in my review, but I’m trying to be as objective as possible. It is a very fun, larger than expected plane that could potentially serve your G.I. Joe team well, if you can get over some minor detractions. The links below will give you what you need!

Well, here it is…the last of my “First Looks”… I am officially sad. My experience with this sampling of figures has been very enlightening, and I really want to thank Gyre Vipre for giving me the opportunity to reveal these figures.
There’s been a lot of great stuff (Red Ninja, Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, most of Roadblock) but also some concerns as well, and I think this is likely indicative of the Retaliation line itself. Lots of ninja elements, but some very cool modern military elements, too, and I look forward to both.
Bring on May, and bring on a full blown G.I. Joe: Retaliation toy onslaught. I’m ready!
Until then, check out my G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page, or just click the link below for the last installment in my weeklong “First Look” segment. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.

The hits just keep on coming this week, again thanks to Gyre Viper who has entrusted me to cover these items with my usual enthusiasm.
Nobody tell him that I’m taking a screwdriver to these things, too! If you follow me on Twitter, you saw last night that I swapped out one of the lower legs on Roadblock with one from Night Adder in order to give him some more articulation, and the end result was a success! The lower leg fits well and is the right height…obviously some color matching would have to be done. One interesting thing, though, is that even with the double knee, the range of motion isn’t much increased. You can see the TwitPic images below.

Along with this little update, I’ve also started covering the second 3-Pack! From the Dojo Battle set, you can hit up the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review Page and see Red Ninja and Storm Shadow. Click the links below to go there directly.
