Crimson ASP looks very nice:



SAW Viper is nice. Not totally sold on it but I think it will grow on me:

Oh come on, more grey coloured weapons?  The club needs to give this colour a rest.

I like the Joes so far.  Saw Viper is just crap to me.

I can see Pete's point. Make the weapons black, like Crimson ASP has. Just look at Charbroil. If his weapons were black then it would help separate the over all look of the figure.

Anyone else notice the "foreign" figures stands are a different colour? They started to do that a few years back.

Before she joined Cobra she was a free lance merc. She's the one who took out Major Bludd's eye. He caught up with her and well, you know how the old saying goes "An eye for an eye".

I thought it was a cool idea for the set, but the figures look terrible.
The Cobras look like a joke. SAW Viper is okay, but the others look like a bad execution of a bad design, with a bad colour scheme slapped on top.
The joes look just okay, but they should look awesome.

The great thing about Psyche-Out is that there's only one Psyche-Out. So many other specialties are doubled-up. But psychological warfare?

He'll &#%@ with your mind, bro.

Psyche-Out was a great character for exposition in the Marvel comics, so he got more panel appearances and lasted later into the series than most 87 Joes. IDW used him really well in the GI Joe Infestation storyline, until they killed him off cause IDW.

I'm overall disappointed with this set, especially after the great sets for the two previous years.  I feel they could have done way more with the figures to enhance them like some of the Brazil mission characters rather than just try to make copies of the original figures. 

I would have rather seen the club put money towards more paint detail than make all new head sculpts.
