He's not supposed to be, these are mistitled sets. They are what the Hasbro people compared to an Evolutions set from the Star Wars line. The transition from enlisted man (Grunt) to First Sergeant (Duke) and commanding officer (Hawk). Same with the Corba sets, only one has elite troops and both have Cobra Commander as the commanding officer.

Basically, it's trooper, field leader/officer, commanding officer.

From IMDB so not sure how true it is but "A European-based military unit known as Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity (G.I.J.O.E.), a hi-tech, international force of special operatives takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer." __________________ Mecha-Viper: Neo-Cobras highly mobile power armored strike soldiers (Still a work inprogress but i'll maybe have one built by the end of the year)

And I contribute here with pictures etc) but if you want the latest news on the movie go here: www.superherohype.com Just do a search for gijoe and you'll find bundles of good info. I think they have started filming now, or are going to at the end of february (or some such). I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best. Marlon Wayans as Ripcord?! Seriously, why couldn't they make him Stalker instead... And I hope to JOE almighty that they make Snake Eyes (Ray Park aka Darth Maul/Toad from X-men) a mute! I've been thinking that multicam uniforms might be the way to go on some of the characters - but who knows they might try to keep it all like the original (I highly doubt it - seeing grown men in bright blue uniforms isn't going to be very believable)

I hope we get to see some sneak peeks soon. There is a rumor floating around that Snake Eyes will wear shades and no mask, and that he will talk... I hope not... Also I read that they are going for the whole Scarlett & Snake Eyes thing and not Duke. But again all of that is only a rumor. __________________ Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special Olympics - You may win, but you are still retarded

lehsreh G.I. Smurf Offline --> Posts: 3,446 --> Join Date: Jan 2006	just found out that we are going to be getting some battle packs from the cartoon mini series. each will have between 3 and 4 figures. the sets include the mass device(which we have already saw the commander with the hard element). the weather dominator, arise serpentor arise, pyramid of darkness(dont know who were getting from these 3) and the animated movie(which is where the falcon/nemesis comes into play). these will be around the 19.99 price range. we will also be getting some vehicle other then the ones we already knew of. so far there will the V.A.M.P. and armadillo vs. serpentor’s chariot. the price for these will be around 14.99 each, not sure if the armadillo vs the chariot will be 14.99. im guessing not. as for the single packs, so far there are 40 set for 08 at 5.99 each. and the 12 inch line is coming back. dont know what characters there will be yet, but the price will be around the same as the vehicles. kinda costly im thinking, but i dont know as i never bought 12 before.
