I'm not sure if these are out in the US already since I haven't seen the thread for them yet. Mods, please move this post as needed.
My thoughts:
Deep Six is the only new figure out of the six. And that is, if you don't already have the SHARC. I prefer this silver one since the one that came with the SHARC looks too much like the original.
Rock&Roll is best figure, but personally I love the O13 and their uniforms so those arms are going to be swapped with the single carded version. They'll need some painting though, since the green doesn't match the original. They don't match Falcon's either.
Gung Ho looks nice but again, it's down to a choice between tribute or modernization. I prefer modernization. Both Rock & Roll and Gung Ho have this Vietnam War look and feel to them.
If the single carded Fred is a tribute to the 1987 version, this one is a tribute to the 2001 version. Nothing new here. Most people already popped a Fred head onto their Cobra Commander anyway.
Viper & Grenadier. Aside from the minor minor minor color changes, they're the exact same figures as before and this particular set only appeals to the troop builders. If you follow the comics, technically, their accessories should be reversed.
So all in all, only Deep Six, Rock & Roll, and Gung Ho are keepers.

. Thanks for taking the time to take the pics and the mini review. It looks like a wave I can safely skip, did the Fred/Battle Armor CC thing way back around wave 6
