I think the trooper looks great, though I agree, that's not what I thought the head sculpt looked like.

Surprised no one's mentioned it, unless I've missed it, that that dumb thing does indeed appear to be part of Roadblock's hand. What a shame.

the shame part would be if they didn't include an alternate hand. it probably does make holding the gun a lot easier for the figure without having to be in as goofy of a pose.

The "battle kata" handles are indeed permanently part of that Roadblock's hands. Thankfully there is another version coming without his "handlebars."

Interesting. I like how simple the basic figure is.

Huh.
They recycled the parachute harness from the Captain America and Avengers movie lines for the Cobra Trooper.
The part that really cracks me up is the Cap figures came with the harness, parachute and strings, a gun and a shield, and in Cap's case was a much, much less poseable figure... but they charged Deluxe prices for it. Here we have a more poseable figure, with the same harness and chute, plus a big rifle, a helmet and a launcher thing... for the price of a regular Joe figure.
Hasbro's really milking money out of the Marvel fans...

Also, I hope we get some unmasked Storm Shadow figs eventually, because I'd love more Lee Byung-hun sexiness in my Joe collection.

The troopers look like construction workers to me. I'll probably reassign them to be assistants to Techno-Vipers.

I'm digging the parachute. Looks badass with the big symbol on it. I like the figure well enough, too. Wish he had other webgear though, that wasn't just for the parachute, but I can fix that easily enough.

I'm digging the rifle that the Cobra Trooper comes with, very cool looking.

how much where the deluxe Cap figures?

this guy is most likely going to run 11.00$ unless target is just going for CVS prices.

Well they do have to pay Marvel their cut.
