Title: Imperial Procession and Winter Operation 6 pack pictures
Post by: Pete The Greek on March 18, 2005, 09:02:59 AM: Well these have been on other message boards (but I wanted to do test of this picture hosting site). The links that were provided don't work all the time. So why not show them here.

My thoughts were buired on joecustoms so I will re-post them here..

The winter operation set screams of figures released in 1993/94. Some good molds ruined by poor paint applications. I guess Hasbro wants the figures to stick out, unlike the White Out/Ben Ben packs from 2000 (man. it's been 5 years already and they are still collecting dust in Canada). I wish the art work matched up the final product in terms of colour. Other wise these guys can only work in the sub-arctic, which is subject to less snow than the arctic regions.

The Imperial set is ok, but not great either. But the Baroness mold still has the "man hands". Good grief.

Reegardless, I will want both packs for my collection.

I don't get the fascination with bad repaints of ARAH sculpts. Bring on the new sculpts! (well, after Sigma Six fails...)

I like the colors on Avalanche...and really it?s not like these guys need to wear camouflage all the time. Stalker, Snowjob, Avalanche, and Blizzard are all wearing safety vest...lol...and if Cobra comes around...wammo on go the cammo parkas. Snake Eyes and who?s that...Mirage?...are ok in cammo...did you guys notice they all have Blizzards snow cleats? And look at all the accessories? Remember the Desert Patrol 6 Pack that came with a total of 8 accessories??

The Cobra procession blows me away...looks goofy...I will get them both but I will not open this one.

When do they come out?

Also I only bought one Crimson Guard 6 Pack so I need a Xamot (mine came with Tomax) can anyone help?
