Yawn, more repaints. I am really sick of Snake Eyes, Duke and Cobra Commander repaints. And even the Cobra troopers are over kill. They are becoming the Storm Troopers of Star Wars (i.e. release a million versions of these figures in a short period of time to milk the collector).
But having said that, I am just wondering if any of these packs will be available in Canada.
-
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.
-
Updated to reflect 2008 - the year of the repaint
-
Some are great!
I will buy all of them. Just hope they will be on TRU in Canada. If not, CREDIT CARD+EBAY.
Just to bad that Hasbro do repaint again & again.
-
I only saw the first two on the joebattlelines daily news, I really like the officers idea, now only if they were new sculpts. Would it be so hard to give us a V2 Hawk? Oh well, still cool.
-
Hurray for Grunt! He was the first 3 3/4 Joe I got so I will always love him. Everything else is "meh". Still, I imagine I'll buy all of it 'cause I'm silly like that.
-
Ugh. Grunt was maybe the one character who could get me on board the 25th. I'm such a completist I'm afraid to start. The Red Ninjas and the Night Watch are pretty cool too...
Snake Eyes looks like Scarlett stopped picking out his outfits. Bet his socks don't match either...
Perhaps Canada will never get them and shipping will prohibit me from even making the decision....
-
The sad truth is repaints still sell well and there is always that one cool figure with the repaints that I would want i.e. Grunt and CG officer
-
I too would buy the Joe 3 pack just for the Grunt. Cobra 3 apcks would've been much better if they put anyone else there instead of another CC!
-
If anyone is army building that 3-pack and wants to sell me that CC... ;)

Oh I'm pretty sure I can facilitate that one for you Jon.
-
Cool. We'll work something out at the meet.
-
The 5 packs are showing up at california TRU's.
-
The figures look great but will they ever put Grunt out on single card?

Never say never. But look at the trend with most of the original 13. They are either packaged in comic packs, upcoming vehicles or 3 packs. This may indicate that Hasbro may not have full confidence that most of the original 13 would sell well as single packs.
-
They should make a super set of the original 13. Yeah, I know it won't happen, but it would be cool.
-
Thats fine and dandy. IM just going to have to find a Grunt figure with out DUKE or HAWK, I have the HAWK figure from the comic pack and IM just waiting to find DUKE on single card, witch is starting to take some time.
