Now look at that Duke and tell me they aren't pulling from Sigma 6 for some of these designs. Seriously.

Crimson Trooper/Officer will be just officers in my Resoluteverse. Can't say I'm going to armybuild them (but I said that about the new 5-pack Viper and just ordered 5 packs to create a squad so who knows...)

Crimson Cobra Commander... add him to the Commander's Closet where he keeps all his other uniforms.

Resolute B.A.T. ... honestly not seeing how this is Resolutey in any way other than the colors which match the troops. Hrm :-/ Still will make for a nice prototype or special mission B.A.T.

Jetwing Duke... I LOVE the Sigma 6 figure this is based on and if I could I'd get a second one of these to paint in the S6 color scheme. Still can't get away from those baby-birthing hips though... :-(

I think I like this set more than most people. I like all the sculpts involved, and I like the Sigma 6 influence on the Duke. I do tend to think of Cobra Troopers as the organization's fodder and Crimson as Cobra's elite, so having elite fodder is an oxymoron to me, but I do like the aesthetic. And although I have more Cobra Commanders than I need, I don't have as many as most and could use one in black, especially one that looks as good as that one.

I look forward to getting this set.

This set does nothing at all for me. The Duke figure is nice I suppose, but not different enough from the Resolute version I already got. Hate that Cobra Commander, and that color on the troopers is downright hideous. The BAT looks pretty sweet though. Still, this set gets a big ol' pass from me

I'd say so for sure. Very cool, methinks. Even looking at CC in the black and red, that's very reminiscent of the V1 Sigma CC. I really like the look of all of these. Duke is maybe a little blah in all gray...needs something to make him pop.

It's sort of like they worked to make Duke sort of different and then instead of trying with the other stuff they just went with some half baked repaints and called it a day. Just can't see buying the whole pack for another Duke and a BAT.

I don't like it when they take regular troops and give them the crimson treatment.

Another CC. In black. Again.

An individualized BAT I can take or leave.

That Duke is awesome in awesome sauce topped with awesome. If he makes it out carded, I'm army building him for the gear. I will get this set, just to get Duke.

Never thought you'd hear someone say that, did you?

I'll get it. But Duke will be headswapped and maybe becoming a Snow Job or Flint.

CC will stay or get a Destro head.
