The Joe set is really cool, and probably has the best Snake Eyes ever. The COBRA set I'm less into as I don't think those are the best versions of Cobra Commander and Destro, and I got more than enough COBRA troopers from the Infantry packs a few years ago. Then when 4 of the next 5 characters was duplicates from the first 10, I started losing interest. Then I see that there will be what looks like Satan, a foreign repaint of Stormshadow. This is probably one of the few characters I outright hate in the comic, so seeing his figure kind of blows, especially when they could have released so many other more deserving characters. I'll probably get the Joe 5 pack, but other than that I'm either not really into the characters in the set, or I have enough other versions of them already. I hope it's successful and they produce more cool characters, but I was way more excited about DTC wave 4 with Falcon and Night Vipers.

How many repaints and new molds of the same old same old can you make? When they show me Wraith, Firewall or someone who already hasn't been made into a figure DURING MARVELS run, I'll be impressed. I have almost all of the figures 1982-1991. So for me, the remakes are a waste of time and money. If I didn't have a huge collection and was missing most of the 1982-1986 collection, I'd be excited!

Snake Eyes #48...Cobra Commander #39...etc,etc, ad nauseum. I'm with you Frank. Give me some cool new stuff and I'll happily part with my hard-earned. Until then, I'll save my cash.

Swindle Combaticon Offline --> Posts: 1,488 --> Join Date: May 2006	I've seen enough of Destro and Scarlett to get a sense of what the toys will be like. They are a mixed bag. I already know which ones I will be buying most likely. Will buy some, will not buy others.
