Valor vs Venom figures returning to stores...on 25th packaging!?
 
Single Carded Valor vs. Venom figures

Looks like a continuation of the low cost VvsV style single carded figures on new style packaging.

The odd things: no accessories and Night Force RAH Beach-Head. Black Dragon instead of Iron Grenadier (still you can use them as IG's if you want). Sand Viper with the wrong card art. :o

No Snake Eyes, Dukes or Storm Shadows :eek:


My complaints: Most of these were done already on single cards with accessories and can still be found at some Family Dollar stores . Tele-Viper sans head mike sucks. Missed opportunity to release the unreleased Mission Disk series 3 figures, as well as hard to find figures like VvsV Torch, Snow Wolf, etc.

Still, I might pick up some Beach-heads for head swap fun. I wish more of them were ARAH style. Imagine the troop builders that could be re-issued. *sigh*

I like the idea of low priced Joe figures at retail. (They need at least one gun...come on!) I do wonder if these aren't just overstocked figures they had gobs of, but then why go to the trouble for new packaging?

All they need to do now is put out some of the Harder to find joes from VvsV and I MIGHT go for it! How about some Torch V2's? Or those Snow Wolfs that came in the two pack with Frostbite?

On a semi-related note

TRU exclusive Hulk "Epic Tunnel Crash" pack

Looks like more O-ring Joes used, with the new sculpt Steel Brigade helmets.

The O-RING LIVES!

Maybe this will be my chance to snag Sand Vipers!

Who cares about their accessories. We all buy from Marauder Inc anyway!

mmm, its odd to me because these have been out in my dollar store for way over a year now. the exact same figures, just the old small packaging.

Most of them, yeah. (Slice, Slash, Beach Head and black Dragon are "new" to this format). I''ve seen them in stores since 2005! I was wondering why the Family dollar and Dollar General stores would sell out then get fresh cases. Either they made a lot of them, or they were still producing them. Now it seems like they were still shipping them, especially since so many of the figures are the same.

I already have enough of the figures shown, so I'll give 'em a miss. But the Hulk set looks interesting.....
