| Post subject: | Lanard Corps...Rearmed |
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. |
