Between the bright orange and the 1991 arms, that Hawk is atrocious, IMO.
Flint's head doesn't really feel like Flint to me. I'll stick with the Tiger Force version I own
Tunnel Rat is quite cool, he no longer looks Japanese while being of Chinese/Indian heritage. Love the colors.
Fred is a great representation of the character. Hasbro should reissue their CG 6-packs with Fred heads on everyone (including the twins' business suit, so we can have laywer Freds)
Zarana is nothing but improvements on her original version. I just hope the new upper arms aren't too bulky.
Zartan is pure <3. Definitely getting this set.
The Night Viper is pretty neat, I love the camo pattern.
The officer has the best-looking paint job on any Viper/Soldier head I've seen thus far. The new logo looks like a mix of the Dreadnok logo and the Cobra logo, weird.

They all look cool - especially the army builders. (and how often do you hear that from me?!?)

These pictures were taken from ebay auctions from overseas. They are usually not 100%. The final product looks like what you see here

It's more of a brown than orange.

Those are all great!

I would guess those first two troops are from the on-line six pack??

Well I was just over at mastercollector poking around and they are having a paracute drop figure this year, which sucks for me because last year was the only year I've been and there was none last year. Anyhow, I was thinking the figure called "Night Watch Viper" is going to be the paracute drop figure. As it was pointed out to me on another message board, look at the paint detail on that figure. Hasbro doesn't put that many paint layers or that much detail into it's figures. So this looks like a MC figure to me.
To add on to the crap factor, only attending members will get the paracute drop figure. I ordered the homefront hero set with an extra bagged set but no bonus figure for me. Gah! I don't like that.
