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.

No Snake Eyes, Dukes or Storm Shadows

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?
