I guess wave 12 missed Chicago, but Wave 13 is coming on strong. First we have Torch and Firefly. Nothing real spectacular about these two, just repaints for the most part. Although Firefly comes with the comic pack backpack. Next up is Blowtorch. He looks pretty cool, however it took me five minutes to get him set up for the photo. His removeable mask doesn't want to stay on and he tends to fall off his stand. But he's an excellent sculpt and his removeable gear is a nice touch. Resolute Cobra Commander. He looks great but doesn't pose too well because of his restrictive outfit. At least he's not just a repaint and can use both hands. Resolute Duke. This guy is fantastic, I see a ton of customizing potential here. His only downfall is that he has nowhere to store his knife and pistol. He also has a useless molded pistol on his left thigh. I still love this fig. Resolute Cobra Trooper. If I were to army build, I think this guy would be it. Great sculpt, gear, and colors. Best fig of the bunch in my opinion. A perfect figure for customs. If the rest of the Resolute figures are as good as this one, I'm getting them all. Now if I can get this lucky finding wave 12...

Cool!
Thanks for the review!
I am looking forward to getting a Blowtorch as he was a childhood fav. as well as Duke and the Cobra Troopers for customs.
BBTS said my case of them came in today.

Despite the barely functional articulation, I'm completely enamored with this version of Cobra Commander. I didn't think I would be, it looks boring as all hell in the pictures, but once I had him in my hand, I totally fell for how regal he is and how well he fits my perception of how a fictional dictator should look. I think this might well be one of my favorite figures of CC yet.

I agree with you JD, this is probably the best version of CC yet. Even the new head and helmet are better.
Did you notice that the Resolute figs look just like their animated counterparts? That's means we'll be getting some kick ass versions of Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, Firefly, Airborne (maybe?) and Destro. These are great updates to the characters.
I'm not sure about Stalker and Scarlett though...

I am looking forward to seeing what else comes down the pike as far as movie figures.
Really interested to see what kind of gear will come with Ripcord.
Cant wait to see Scarlett either!

I have seen a ton of the Dukes and CCs here in NJ but only 1 Trooper (and, of course I had no $$ when I saw him ). I'm not overly fond of Duke and I have only mild interest in CC, but the Trooper kicks six kinds of ass!

agreed trooper rocks, hopefully he'll one day be abundant, duke isn't bad, CC is sucktastic, but die hards like NFC get a kick out of him.

I've seen them all in stores. Keep checking, they'll show up.
Xhairs and I will keep a look-out for more too.
