I'm really hoping Dollar General gets these but I wonder what price. I saw Marvel Universe figs yesterday for 6 bucks with neck, shoulder, and hip articulation.


That's the second time I've heard about those. Anyone have pics?


That's the first i've heard MU figs at Dollar General, i bought the highlighted blue Thor yesterday at Family Dollar for $8.00


They're not worth getting. They're 5 POA pieces of garbage. Like vehicle driver versions of Cap, Iron Man and Spidey.

Seriously, I dig that they're paying trubute to the Battle Corps '93 version of Cobra Commander here. All these repaints took inspiration from memorable versions. I wish Hasbro would do this more often but hey I'm glad at least these are happening.

I'd love to snag that Cobra Commander just add his silver accessories to my modular CC's wardrobe. The base is also a good shortcut if I want to make duplicates with different permanent arms.

Can't wait to see these on shelves.

I think these are 100% awesome, both as figures and as a parts source, if the price stays in the $5-$6 range!

After being disappointed with most of what I've seen in the movie line I figured I was done buying Joes for awhile, except picking a few up for custom fodder. These guys would have me back in the game...

Funny (and sad) that the main line is such a bummer overall and then these "throwaway" cheap-Os are exactly what I'd want from G.I. Joe!

The Duke and the Cobra Trooper would be excellent for Fodder/Army Builders.

I would have no problem removing my left testicle for the CHANCE that the Retaliation "Ninja Dojo Bullcrap"s plain jane Beachhead was with these guys. He's a plain basic figure with tons of custom potential.

Wow.
Those repaints are so cool.
That green Shipwreck looks awesome. I'm sure he'll become very popular with those who are on the look out for generic bodies.

I want that orange Storm Shadow. He'll become some kind of Fire Ninja or something like that.

Oh god. I'll have to get that variant SE and Shipwreck.

The rest... meh. T'Gin Zu isn't as awesome as Stormy himself, the Cobra Officer is a bit garish and the CC looks pretty bare.


Really didn't expect a Desert 6-pack SE homage. I wonder why they didn't try for a Night Fighter Guile homage instead. :P

I wonder if they redid the Firefly head to work on the SS body or if they reworked the neck.
I tried to put one on my Renegade SS and it sits a bit low on the shoulders.
