In all honesty, they really messed up some of the character's faces. Take Scarlett, Roadblock, and the Baroness for instance. The original leaked shots from Hasbro looked better. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
However, that set owns and I'm so going to get it.
yeah I agree but compared to what is out, ands the fact that the reissued stuff was way off in colors and quality this is like the best there has been, except the statues, but these are affordable and posable.. the faces.. meh they could be better...
OK Ok, here is a real geek moment, but i have to...
There is a Gi Joe episode that sticks out in my mind so vibrantly and just makes me love the new cobra commander sculpt even more.. the joes are surrounding a mountain base, they assualt it with their flying gliders, inside destro and baroness are escaping, Dr. Mindbender has just displayed his new B.A.T.S., cobra commander is about to follow destro when in charges Duke, and snake eyes is immediately lost in battle with Storm Shadow..
Now here's the kicker
Duke approaches Cobra commander who has no weapons in his hands, Duke says "Its over cobra, your coming back to our base and you under arrest.. you army is defeated, give it up, NOW!!"
a nice shot of cobra commander with dukes reflection is seen, silence ensues, then cobra commander cocks his head to the right and you hear a popping sound, then gas flows from out the helmet, chocking Duke, and the last line you hear before Cobra commander darts to safety is "Fool!!! Do you think me defenseless!!!??"
That is just the badest episode of Gi Joe I can recall from child hood, and solidifies in my mind that cobra commander.. is the Shiizzzznick!! all the way..
