So what are we looking at here as figures?

I can safely say I think one of the figures from this "could'a been" comic pack is a Resolute Cobra Trooper body (red) with a CG head. 

The question is what was the second?  I would be dumbfounded if it was an Iron Klaw Trooper, but considering there was no other "character" in the comic, who else could it have been?  It might have been an interesting idea, and the execution might have been something to behold.  However I can't get the "extreme" show out of my head every time I see that head.

Looking at it closer, the Iron Klaw Trooper would probably have a new head and the shoulder pad/straps would be like most "add-ons" that could be removed.  The hands could be fully painted Viper (ugh I know), the body could be any number of characters, and the legs I can only think of HISS Drivers as a close facsimile.

That's the part that is driving me nuts. I just paid $22.50 for that Serpent Armor set when for the exact same money I could have bought another Tiger Rattler. Man, if it wasn't fior the fact that I'm affraid these will dry up fast I would probably have passed on it for now.

I assumed the same thing as well.  It doesn't look like these will be re-stocked in the USA.  It has been almost two months since they were released in Target stores.

The Zellers were I picked up the Serpent Armours had 8 of them.  None of the other sets are even moving, which isn't a good sign.  But some Greek army building plague wiped out 5 Serpent Armours due to the sale.   :shifty:

Yeah, the local Zellers (Eglinton/Birchmount) put out for of each from this wave.  I picked up 3 Serpent Armors and 1 Rocket Pack.  When I went back to price adjust the other Serpent was gone, but nothing else.  I imagine this will be common.

I got mine. I saw one with no silver paint on the left leg and thought "I'll probably see that one ebay as a rare production run figure". 

I'm still not blown away by the Serpent Armor but I have one now. I'd rather have one of the red ones.

Blasphemy!!!!!

I really love the mold.  I never had one as a kid and now it is great.  I love that most figures will fit in it from any era.

I also love the Viper Commando in that colour scheme.  I don't care much for the mold, but I like the colour scheme.   Although one of them is destined for a custom.

So there is a sale this week.  25% off all JOE figures/vehicles.  While not great on some items, it does knock down the price to a more reasonable amount for some things.

Of course the Target exclusive packs are now down to $22.50.
The PP Conquest & TF Tiger Rat are down to $22.50
The Rhino is now $60.

So while not too bad, it is still better than full price.  Especially those jets.  However I will wait until a better deal, at least 30% off, for the jets.

I'd hate to think what the price would be at Zellers for this set!

Also, I remember at the JoeCon that this was the only vehicle set planned.  The next couple are apparently going to be figure-only.  However, as said, if they do well further vehicle sets could happen.  Although I would say it is fairly safe to assume that any future vehicle sets would be "alpha" class vehicles. 

I could see the Ferret/Snake-whatever being a set.

Found these (4 sets) at Eglinton/Birchmount.  Funny thing about the price.  The cashier rang in 2 and did a double take on the price.  She even said that it was expensive.
