Alvin Pine I remember- although its not hard to work out who it is.
Is Skip A. Stone Cutter?
Thats bad.
I like the original three 'Noks names- Tom, Dick and Harry, and Winken, Blinken and Nod

Yup, Skip A. Stone is none other than Cutter.

And yes, the original Dreadnoks had some great filenames too.

I'm still really liking this set but my one gripe has to be the lack of helmets. Grunt gets one but not Zap? And Flash being helmet-less is terrible; apart from that I think it's a great update of the character. But when did we ever see Flash in action without a helmet & visor? Giving him comic pack Grunt's head when Grunt is in the set with Hawk's head is already unnecessarily complicated and now we can't even cover it up...

Fingers crossed that Sparks has absolutely nothing to complain about, since there's no alternative version of him to get!

Why they didn't left a Flash like this one came out in a single card?

Unfortunately Sparks is pretty well the weakest figure in the set. The colours just don't look right (but at least he got a helmet)! This set though is great, and a must-buy. :D (Heck, it puts the 25th anniversary stuff to shame!! ;) )

I agree that the colours are off- his legs would have looked far better in olive drab- but I like this one.
It could have been better, but I wouldnt say he's teh weakest.
That is Rock n Roll.
In fact, imo, he's the best of the Joes

I'm liking Sparks.Really-the only figure I'm not liking is "Clay Moore".The others rock. :D

Sparks
 
Yeah, I gotta say I like the Sparks figure. I think it looks good. Why didn't Hasbro try selling this kind of stuff. Surely it would have done better than the re-tread DTC figures we got. This set is a good example of whats been wrong with Hasbro the last few years. Its got some great ideas and some great figures, but also some really lame ones (Claymore). And there are some glaring details (heads and helmets) that hurt otherwise great figures.
