Dang, complaining not only before the figures are released, but before they're even actually announced and it's just speculation. That's gotta be a record of some sort.

I'm assuming any figure from the concept case that hasn't been released and can fit, will be one of them released. Also, any figure the Club has done in the FSS, they aren't going to be made at retail, no way.

Rock n Roll v2 and Laser Viper are pretty sure fire bets to making it in the lineup.

People have been speculating Doubleblast or Roadblock using the '86 looking Roadblock vest and Renegades head from that preproduction figure that showed up recently.

its like you guys are reading my mind. but ive been unhappy since the first film line came out, and I find modern military to be the most boring theme for figures of all. literally I would take about any theme over modern military.

The problem with going for military accuracy is that military uniforms are designed to be, well, uniform. Which makes plenty of sense for the real world, but makes for boring action figures.

completely agree.

Thank you. I've been trying to come up with a way to say this, but most of mind were a lot less polite. Completely agree.

Yeah! How dare we say that we don't like one of the figures from the display of figures that they specifically designed to show us things that might be released! The only legitimate response is "PLEASE GIVE US THAT FIGURE WE LOVE YOU."

Come on... "Grey helmet on a nondescript beige body" is an action figure designer's way of saying that it's almost lunchtime. It looks like it's own knockoff. The DSM-IV lists making a figure like this as one of the criteria for being diagnosed with clinical depression. Playing with Nomad Warrior for more than twenty minutes renders you unfit to operate heavy machinery. The original suggestion for Nomad Warrior's name was "Sure, why not?" Manufacturing of Nomad Warrior was severely delayed because quality control constantly thought the paint machine was jammed. His only accessory is a folded up apology note that trails off halfway through. Nomad Warrior lowers the value of the McDonald's toys he will eventually be bagged with at Goodwill. All of the children in the focus group for Nomad Warrior answered the question of what they wanted to be when they grow up with "serial killer." Giving someone Nomad Warrior as a gift is a creative way of telling them that you do not care if they live or die. Any GI Joe vehicle you put Nomad Warrior into instantly turns into a 1998 Subaru Forester. Any fireworks within ten feet of a Nomad Warrior become unscented candles. The children assembling Nomad Warrior figures wonder if American kids play with toys sarcastically.

....it's a bad figure, is what I'm saying.

I think we get the idea.

And there's a few figures from the past that I could say similar unpleasant things about. That G.I. Joe Infantry six-pack from Toys "R" Us years ago leaps to mind. But at least those figures were actually produced -- wastes of plastic though they were.

Do we even know for certain that NOMAD Warrior is part of the planned lineup?

Again, why does it matter if it's released or not? I didn't realize we needed special permission to say "that thing you showed us looks bad."

And I would think (if thought Hasbro have two craps about anything we say here) that since it was part of a group of figures that they were showing us to say "you may or may not get these" they would want to hear that there are some they could probably skip.

TL;DR: Calm down, people are allowed to have opinions.

I remain really surprised that we're getting nothing from the Concept Case.

shooter and the female cobra trooper are cool, I'm really sort of underwhelmed by the stiletto figure. the same old torso I never liked, the same old legs, and the head just looks big and weird to me.

You never liked the Helix torso???
