Internet Only, case of 8 figures. It includes: 2x 25th Anniversary Wave 10: Para-Viper is accompanied by a nameplate display base. The Cobra Para-Viper features a removable helmet w/ visor, is clad in a purple uniform with a black mask and orange knee pads, and is equipped with a monstrous arsenal of gear including respirator, parachute pack, waist-borne pack, a knife a pistol and an assault rifle. Harvested from among the Cobra Eels, Para-Vipers are the best-trained and most lethal commandos within the Cobra ranks. Specializing in high-altitude low-opening jumps, Para-Vipers infiltrate and trail blaze for the primary assault force. 2x 25th Anniversary Wave 10: Cobra Bazooka Trooper is accompanied by a nameplate display base. The Cobra Bazooka features a removable blue helmet marked by black lattice patterning, and is clad in a red mask and a blue and black uniform with a black vest harness. He’s equipped with a sidearm and a rocket launcher. Provided with threadbare training, Cobra Bazooka Troopers are equipped with rocket-powered grenades and sent into the field to generate as much chaos and mindless destruction as is possible. 1x 25th Anniversary Wave 10: Duke (Tiger Force) is accompanied by a nameplate base. Featuring a removable brown helmet, Tiger Force Duke is clad in a red-collared green shirt with tiger-striped fatigues, and is equipped with black binoculars, a black harness, a green pack, and a black machinegun. Well-rounded and charismatic, a graduate of the Fort Benning Airborne School and the U.S. Army Special Language School, Duke turned down a commission, nobly citing an inability on his part to “impel others to take the risks” and later became the Acting First Sergeant of the GI Joe team. 1x 25th Anniversary Wave 10: Wraith is accompanied by a nameplate display base. Wraith features a sleek silver helmet with removable mask, and is encased in a carapace of damage-resistant ceramic stealth armor. He’s equipped with a pack and gauntlet-mounted guns. Wraith, a French mercenary specializing in espionage missions, was once coveted by the forces of GI Joe and Cobra alike. Wraith’s sophisticated forearm cannons, items counted among a consignment of stolen technology, are complimented by his flawless marksmanship. Fueled by his lust for carnage, Wraith is noteworthy in that he has defeated Snake Eyes in combat.  1x 25th Anniversary Wave 10: Mutt & Junkyard is accompanied by a nameplate display base. Mutt features a removable helmet/mask, and is clad in a green and brown uniform complete with black-padded dog trainer’s glove and vest w/ orange-padded shoulders. He’s equipped with a gun, a baton and leash, is accompanied by a fixed-posed black and brown Junkyard the Rottweiler figure. Noteworthy in his general preference for dogs over humans, Mutt is a Qualified expert in the implementation of the M-16, M-14, the M-1911A1 Auto Pistol and the MAC-11. 1x 25th Anniversary Croc Master is accompanied by a nameplate display base. Crockmaster is clad in a black uniform with portions of scale-textured green reptile hide and a black mask with twin-hose respirator unit. He’s equipped with a black whip and is accompanied by a monstrous leash-borne crocodile. A former alligator wrestler and founder of the apparently unsuccessful Guard-Gators Inc., Croc Master maintains the man-eating crocodiles that populate the canals of Cobra Island. Thanks to Croc Master’s tireless, enthusiastic efforts, the crocodiles in his care had been honed into aggressive psychotic monsters. BBTS will be receiving a relatively limited number of this internet exclusive case. BBTS will be cutting orders off early so it doesn't oversell on this case. The regular case will be more widely available. PLEASE NOTE: Hasbro has released some of the figures in this case in the past, so there are two different versions of the packaging - one with the silver/foil border and lettering & 25th Anniversary logo, and one with the white border & lettering and a TV or Comic logo in the upper right corner. The differences are minor and the figures are exactly the same. It is safe to assume that any figure originally found in Waves 1 through 7, that is included in this case, will be shipped with the new white border packaging, and all figures wave 8 and beyond have only been released in the new white border packaging. All cases are sealed, direct from Hasbro, and contain the exact assortment and packaging styles that Hasbro has planned. |
