General Joe Talk / Re: POC Wave 5 & 6-first impressions;
« on: June 30, 2011, 02:53:25 PM »
I just ordered cases of both wave 5 & 6 to make sure I got a lower price, as my comicshop charges $14.99 as well. As is, I ended up paying $10 each but ended up with extra non-troop building figures that I hope to sell/trade. Wave 1 of 30th is looking stellar for troop builders. 10 out of 12 figs are troop builders. Can't get much better than that.
In general, I found both wave sto be better in hand than in pics and sitting around thinking about them. Still have some strong dislikes like Jungle BAT and Cobra Commander, but all in all they are solid and have some real gems as well.
I was quite pleased with Justins (GeneralsJoes.com) idea in his review of the General Hawk figure where he placed the 25th Hawk (based on 1982 version) head on this new PoC version. Looks terrific. I agree that if the head had matched the card art, we'd of had one incredible figure.
