What color is that TF Duke's hair? It's not a big deal but I am just really curious to find out if it is blonde or not.I like these new Cobra troops even the guys with upcoming vehicles and multi packs. I wish there was things like this back in the RAH line.
After seeing improvements on the TF Flint and Duke I am hoping they make a TF Roadblock. And actually put out these fixed figures as the regular non-TF's too.
Blond just like the card-art, as can be seen in yojoe.com's pics of the Joecon! At last a blond TF Duke-- sweet Aryan goodness (though technically Nazis were dumbasses and the 'Aryans' look like Persians which is where the name Iran comes from...)! No more of Hawk's Just For Men hair dye for this Special Missions Top Kick!
Just thought I'd add a link to the JoeCon pics at Yojoe.com that show the upcoming Tiger Force Duke with classic blonde hair (other sites' pics don't give a clear look under the tan helmet). Those pics can be found here. The new figure doesn't resemble the old one so much as the original card artwork.

CROC MASTER!!! look at the arms look at that evil head. Look at the Croc. Gonna get 2 one for Misb.MUTT and JunkYARD gonna get 2
Im a Cobra Junkie but Not as excited about these.
-Para Trooper looks bizzare will buy 1
-Anti armor in light Cobra blue with fish net helmet. Not best combination. Obviosly done to match light colored Cobra Commander. But The dark blue looks better. Will buy 1. Will not open.
Duke. Please not another useless Duke.
Overall 25th figures are brilliant.
No, this is not another useless Duke. This is a great Duke, pretty much improved in every way with even cooler colors than every Duke except possibly the first one in the 5 Pack who didn't even have an accurate paint job. If you bought any Duke since the first one, you have nobody to blame but your self since they were all cheap-looking multi-packs with even uglier and more disposable figures like Play-do CC and a store-exclusive Franken-Hawk. Except for the one with a Flag and a jet pack that you could use with anybody. So there-- no reason to get the others, which is why they glut the shelves as peg-warmers. Duke isn't like CC or Snake-Eyes, he's only really had one figure released several times to allow everybody a shot at getting him, with slight color variations that shouldn't matter to anybody. And it sucked! Now at last I can get a GOOD figure of my favorite MASS Device Era Bad-ass in true RAH colors with the right gun, binoculars, and a freaking non-Gung Ho backpack! This, like back in 1988, will be my default Duke and he willl be totally going out with Pilot Scarlett and it will be a GLORIOUS day to be a Joe fan!
But go ahead, enjoy your goofy, cowled Croc Master! How's he doing these days anyways? Oh, that's right-- he's dead! Because he was the only guy besides Dr. Manbender dumb enough to back Serpentor during the Cobra Island Civil War. What a Jack-ass!
I like this wave minus Duke.
Wraith is.. ok.

Besides Croc Master and Mutt and Junkyard, I'm not sure how crazy about this wave I am. One thing I am excited about is the card art. It has a real professional look to it, is reminiscent of the old school, and I'm glad it doesn't have a more comicy look to it the way Spy Troops and VvV did.
A great wave, Bazooka and HALO toopers are cool, Mutt and Crock are incredible updates of old favs, and I always liked Wraith from DDP.
The only one I'll probably pass on it TF Duke - I found that the arm articulation is fixable and the fore-arm cut never bothered me.

Man...I may have to pick these up! I wasn't too keen on new characters like the Cobra Para-Trooper and the Anti-Armor Cobra Trooper, but these look really great. And I absolutely love that Tiger Force Duke. I love those fixed arms.
Sheesh...if I'm not careful, I may end up collecting Joes again... (lol)
I'd say that quality-wise, this looks to be by far the best wave yet, which is kind of bittersweet in a way. A lot of classic characters have already come out in earlier waves where Hasbro was still working the kinks out of the new Modern Era line. Tiger Force has given a second chance to screwed-over Joes like Duke and Flint, but what about Gung Ho? If Snake-Eyes could talk, he wouldn't be able to stop laughing...
