3 of the figures are cool. 2 are un-needed, and are both the 3rd versions of each character (SS and CC )...
It would have been cool if they had made the whole thing Troop Builder, like put the red Ninja in there, and a black soldier of something...
Think how many more sets they would have sold for troop building.
My spider sense tells me there will be a lot of loose CC v3, and SS v 3 on Ebay in the near future...

I would have even liked duplicates of a couple of the 3 troop builders let alone new characters.
What's the point of the SS anyways (and the CC for that matter)? I thought this was going to be restyles of ARAH? I wasn't too crazy about the VvV version, and wasn't this style also in one of the Dreamwave comics?
I'll still get it anyways. I'd regret it if I didn't if the Stinger Driver wasn't release single on a card before the line ends.

Spike wrote:I finally opened up my GI Joe 5-pack of Joes. I think this is the weakest of the two sets. Gung-Ho is so bad I put him back into the package. His grenade launcher is a great little weapon, if only it would stay attached. It's great that the scope flips up, nice touch. His leg joints are so damn loose though, he can't stand up well at all. Snake Eyes has the same problem. I'm finding all the removable belts and harnesses a bit annoying though. The ball & socket mid-chest joint is also getting tiresome... I'd much rather have a waist swivel or ball & socket waist. Styled like the old figures but minus the rubber band.
And Hasbro has got to retool those figure stands! How very useless to place the footpegs right on the edge of the over-raised logos. It's hard to get anyone to stand up properly on the f*&%ing stand that's supposed to keep them standing!
I'll say it again... these new figures are alright, but they're just making me wish I still had all my old figures.
Scarlett is definitely the best from this set. I'm not just saying that because "oohh it's a female figure." She's pretty stable, although that damn crossbow likes to come undone. I'm thinking a dot of glue will permanently fix that
Duke is alright... weird right hand though that doesn't let him hold the rifle too well. Roadblock is great, but his hands don't hang onto the rifle well at all. And what is up with skimping on the double-jointed knees on the figures? I thought that was going to be a "standard."

Are they worth getting? As a hardcore oldschool GI Joe fan (Larry Hama is god), I personally think they look really cool, but these hand and hip issues sound awful.

It's hit or miss either way bro.
Much like anyhting coming from hasbro.
If you going for quality, get the carded figs.
The five packs are nice to a point, and have many flaws.
