Personally, I'm glad to be getting a second Snake-Eyes and Cobra Commander. Mind you, I would've preferred swappable heads for CC and just SE v2, but I really need a hooded CC in some form from this set, and the same goes for Snake-Eyes version 2. So if the only way to get those versions of those characters is to have two of each of them, I'll be happy with what I'm getting.

Storm Shadow v2, however, is another story. His original look is his classic look! Does anyone honestly think of version 2 when they're imagining Storm Shadow? I guess it's possible, but I always figured v1 was what would be ingrained in all our minds. Of course, this could also be because I like his Ninja Force costume better than his v2 costume. Black & white is so much cooler than blue & white!

I really have no opinion on Cobra Officer either way since I'm betting it'll just be a repaint of Cobra Trooper with a different head and straps.

Overall, yeah, I'm somewhat disappointed with repetition this early in the process, but: A.) We need different versions of a couple of these guys, and B.) Does anyone honestly expect Hasbro not to do repeats and three-peats??
