Major Bludd is a huge disappointment.

I feel like a sucker, but CC is a must buy for the stripe and the toon accessory.

The rest are not worth buying.

Hasbro really needs to just make a totally new Baroness.

What the frak are you saying, man??? It's the outfit based on the early issues of the Marvel comic, when the crew are hunting Kwinn in the arctic. I'm surprised nobody has said anything about the skirt issue with snake eyes. Surely you guys noticed. And the question is, can he sit down???

From the looks of it he's got the Snowjob body, the "skirt" is removeable and he sits perfectly. I really like the figure...But where the hell is Kwinn. Maybe there's a Kwinn/Dr. Venom comic pack coming, but I doubt the big "H" thinks that pair will sell themselves.

Default 25th Senior Ranking Officers Sets

So I was checking TNI today and found a link to the new Senior Ranking Officers 3-packs. Looks like we're getting Sgt. Grunt and General Hawk, as well as the Crimson Guard Officer with a Santa Claus Cobra Commander (not actual name of figure). So check 'em out.

WHAT THE FRAK IS HASBRO DOING???

Ok, I'm cool w/ the 25A. I'm even cool with repaints, re-releases, new figures, etc. BUT they are gonna FLOOD the market with all this stuff! As people here will quickly say, ANOTHER DUKE? ANOTHER CC? Another (insert whatever you want)??? It's kinda bogus. As Anakin said, "It's overkill, master." And that's what I'm feeling. We just got the latest photos of the waves, the future 5 packs and now these rather neat looking, but WTF 3 packs... I'm gonna wonder what's gonna be shown at Toyfair.

With all that in mind, the 1st officer pack looks pretty neat. I like the variation on the Hawk figure and we get Grunt. Good enough for me. If I get it, maybe I'll send a bro the Duke figure. Too bad Grunt's head is so small (as opposed to Breaker's big noggin. Might need to have repaint that Duke head afterall!)

The Cobra pack... Officers? Looks like Cobra COmmander and 2 CGs to me. Poor Tomax and Xamot. Getting the shaft.

And the last pack... Whoa... That looks pretty cool, but certainly, impossible to build. What are you gonna do with a plethora of Officers and CCs? Now if they did an Officer and 2 Troopers, dewd. Still wouldn't fall for it tho.

Red Cobra Commander...a new version of a release from 2005! Wow, let the nostalgia roll.

Hawk and Duke Hybrid figure...they've mutated into one being. "Hey, let's stick Hawk's head on Duke." Alright. What's next, repaining Flint to become Falcon? Probably (would've been more creative than Duke again).

Ugly gold masked CG.

That and they never fixed the crotches on Cobra trooper/officer, Duke or Cobra Commander. Which precludes me from seriously considering the sets.
