The Snake Eyes is a bit wacky, but it's a great source of cheap Red Ninjas.
I do find some of these figures useful, but I can sympathize with army builders that may want a set number of gold faced CGs or an army of cartoon accurate troopers and end up with a bunch of Cobra Commanders they don't want. Then again, Joe Canuck came to be thanks to leftover parts of unpopular figures. Imagine how many 25th style Cobra Commanders will be lying around after these three packs hit the shelves? Dozens of figures with the same mold from the neck down.
