For the 90's-loving G.I. Joe fan. Personally, I'm all over that Storm Shadow. Finally a SS that won't turn frickin' yellow!!!!

I hope these make it up to Canada--I would expect them to.

I am Waaayy more interested in these than the movie figures.  Hope I can find them and I hope they're no more than 5 bucks (hey, 25th were 3 at family dollars a year or two back)

I love them, but Dollar store stuff? If those are $1.00 each them I'll take 10 of each easily.

only if you're a completist. i only have multiples of one non-army builder character and that's version 1 and 4 of Wet Suit and i only bought the V4 one cuz it was a quid at my old work place after nearly ten years of sitting in the stockroom.

Slayer Design Studio heads my friend. I still have a lunch bag full of them needing bodies. I'd even army build that Shipwreck figure if he was a buck or two.  ;)

Right, right. I had forgotten the custom angle. I suppose if you take ten Cobra Commander repaints sitting on black CG (BG?) bodies, and remove their heads, you get ten BG bodies.

While it would be nice to see these show up at Dollarama for $2 like the Star Trek Movie figures, I doubt it is going to happen.

If someplace like Winners doesn't pick them up for $5-$7, I can see someplace like Giant Tiger getting them for $5.

I can except $5 from Giant Tiger. I just wouldn't buy ten of each.

If one of our sponsors were able to sell these buy the case and they are indeed a cheaper priced item I know I'd want a case (or more depending on price) for sure.

$5 a pop with a case of say 8-12 figs?  I'd be in for 2 cases easy.  I just wonder how realistic $5 each is though since regular releases are double that now here and in the US.
