Same here, except I would hate to see them do the parts subsitution they've done in the past. Like the Snake Eyes I that came with the DVD set of the animated debut... he has another figure's waist (Footloose maybe?) instead of his own, and it looks horrible. I think that same waist piece was used on him in another "reissue" as well. The Cobra Vipers (the original) have been re-released with the BATs' legs instead of their own, for some ungodly reason. Hasbro can't pull that kind of crap if they were to reissue the originals. I would love to get reissues, though... seeing the new figures (some being half-assed in design) really makes me wish I still had my original figures.
I haven't opened my Joes 5 pack yet, but I've got all my Cobras on my computer desk for the time being. I can't fathom why Destro does not have the double jointed knee. (Or Baroness and Scarlett, for that matter.) These new figures are alright, but Hasbro really needs to improve on their figure design. CC's "chrome dome" head is far too small for a human head to be underneath. He looks like a Clockwork Robot from Doctor Who when you take off his blue helmet
