At Wal Mart today, and noticed new Corps packages. Same figures, different weapons.
I picked up the 3 new 2 packs, the price is up a bit to $2.27 from 1.99.
The weapons are a bit chunkier than the old ones, and way more so than Joes weapons, though not quite as bad as Chap Mei, but still, I am not going to rush out and rearm my Joes with these.
I got a very Battleforce 2000 feel from them.
There was also a larger package (8 or 10 Corps dudes) for $10 that had some neat new items like an EOD robot (a bit skinny and non-articulated though), a flying spy eye, and a hover drone (I think) for battlefield recon. Also some swords, pick axes and a handheld gatling I did not like. I did not get the set, as the accessories alone were not worth the money to me. I was also wondering if the new Corps comic will have a figure line tie-in. I have always wondered what a Corps chick would look like (a military, non-Wow chick)
Anywho...pics:

The pistols are way too big

Those would be good if you were going for an exaggerated or more sci-fi look. I could see picking these up!

That pistol could probably be modded into a switchfire!

The bottom right pistol gives off a Visitor pitol/rifle from V vibe.

Do you have any better pictures of the black and red guy in the first 2-pack in your first pic? He looks like he may be worth picking up.

These guns have Rob Liefeld written all over them.

Wow!!! Those guns would be perfect for the 5" Halo 3 Spartans. I may need to track a few of those sets down.

I can see some of them being used for Joes/Cobras in a more sci-fi way though, a bit big to, but that's what customizing is for. Nice find and Thanks for the heads up.

I think they look realy terrible. They are chubby and cheap looking guns. More like those knock off of Chap Mei figures you find in the blue box aisle at Target.
