These are excellent. I too wish more RAH Joes could have got the "comic pack" treatment. Especially Gung-Ho.

You know what I feel is the best G.I. Joe figure ever? MAJOR BARRAGE. This figure was the pinnacle of 3 3/4" G.I. Joe figure design IMO. He is a new sculpt figure but it looks just as good if not better than the 25th stuff. Yeah he was an all new character so there is no nostalgia factor but try and tell me any 25th figure with "Duke arms" is better than Major Barrage.

Barrage has arms and a head design that were more or less carried over to the 25th line but he still has an o-ring. Look at the arms on this figure! No giant plastic rivets like the other new sculpt guys suffered from. To me this figure is proof that Hasbro didn't have to abandon the new sculpt style and switch to the funky 25th style in order to make the figures look good. All it took was good proportions and a few design changes (not a total redesign).
