Why, why, why is Crazylegs packaged with his arms up?  I would have hoped that by now Hasbro would have learned that "posed" packaging is not good for the figures.  Meaning warping, bending, etc causing the figures to not be stable when removed.

Nice group, except for Snake Eyes and Croc Master (yellow).  Is that the decapitated heads of Dice, Slice and Nunchuk with Snake Eyes?  A Ninja Force easter egg!

I'm in! As usual, the packaging sold me. Looks like one of each again for me......and mayhaps multiples of certain ones...

Same here! One of each and probably 5 or 6 Cobra troopers and Vipers!

Viper and I.G. look good. I could army build the Vipers a bit (3 is my usual limit but with them I might go for 6 if reasonable to find). The I.G. I would want only 2 of.

Snake Eyes, my first thought was "Tron?". My second thought is "Who approved this turkey?"

The Jungle Bat I can see people swapping out the chest and head and making a cyborg jungle dude. It doesn't look like a BAT to me. Not as cool as the original to say the least.

Incarnations of Hawk seem to be all over the place.

Agree. That is not Hawk IMHO. Maybe we should make our own "name the hawk wannabe" contest. The prize, bragging rites.

Also, that Rock Viper just doesn't look like a Cobra. He looks more like a Joe. Heck, I can't even see a Cobra logo anywhere on his body. Hopefully the guys at Slayer Design studios can make a decent Rock Viper head. That would save this figure more then anything else.

The Rock Viper is generic enough to represent some other terrorist force. Maybe something like the commandos on Metal Gear Solid.

That spear will be useful with the Clone Wars imperial guards...

I like the inclusion of a suppressed weapon with the Joes.

I think "Hawk" would make an ideal upgraded/modernized Grunt--but that is just me.

After seeing the pics up close.  To me they are disappointing.  It looks like more lazy repaints and mix matched parts.  Rock Viper-really bad.  Viper and Trooper same old same old.  Crazy legs is disappointing because they could have taken the time to fill in the hole in the middle of his chest where 25th v3 SnakeEyes's swords went.  I don't need another Commander,Blowtorch,Croc Master, or a TMNT Shedder/Tron/25th comic pack wanabe SE.


One cool thing though is the Colonial Marine Pulse Cannon with the Iron Gren. figure that was originally suppose to come with POC Destro.

The Rock Viper is still the most disappointing one for me...They could have at least painted the Helm the Maroon color and slapped on a green visor to at least somewhat resemble the classic look.
