Cobar viper squad and b.a.t squad 5 packs
« on: September 04, 2013, 11:55:44 PM »
So im guessing these two 5 packs never reached production since it's the first im seeing of them...?

Anybody know if there is a very expensive, very limited # of these that ever got made...?

Don't get to excited JON... The blog talk for these was 2009...Right in heart of 25th ann...You can see the packaging is 25th ann. style.

I think they got scrapped.

I was just wondering if any of them actaually got released.

Ah. Too bad. I'll have to settle for mundane non-robot troops.

Looks like they were canceled in late 2009 and replaced with a couple another assortments. Someone on HISSTank mentioned the DialTone/Footloose was one of them.

Dial tone/Footloose.....?  Im puzzled  ???

You mean to tell me they scrapped 2 different Cobra 5 packs to make 2 single g.i joe carded exclusives....?

WoW, I would have understood if those 2 figures where part of the 5 packs, but that is a change from night and day.

Thank's again Hasbro.. ::)

This looks like a fun project to make. I know i can get a extra Extreme condition 7 packs. ( looks like the boxes are very similar ).
It would be easy to pick up the 5 cobra vipers and 5 b.a.t 's.

Does anybody out there, have the proper equipment and the know how to make me some sticker sheets of the 5 packs to fit over the cardboard part of the 7 packs. Front and back....?
