I was at Target today and happened on a few new figures. I thought for sure they were Lanard's CORPS! figures. They look just like the new sculpt style, but a little better in proportion and paint aps. They're made by a company called Hooga Loo, LLC. They decent figures, but I do kind of like the CORPS! figures anyway.

The neat thing though is they're officially authorized by the armed forces, plus there's online abilities. You can go to the website, register your trooper, train him, and go on missions. I haven't done it, but it looks pretty neat. I picked up 3 figures and will probably get the whole set. They're pretty neat and worth throwing some money towards I think.

Weren't these discussed about a month ago and someone said they were 4.5" instead of 3 3/4" or even 4"? Can't find the thread but I'm sure I've followed that link in here before.

Hmm, I don't recall. If it was in December I could have easily missed it since I wasn't able to be on the board as much. They are a little bit taller but there's a vehicle for the Army figures that should work fine for G.I.Joe. It's on the Army tab.

Here's the original thread.
I think the figures are pretty bad looking. New sculpt Corps bad. I do like their accessories though, and I saw a nice buggy as well. But was kills me is they are like $8 a pop. Not worth it for just their acc.

I saw these the other day and they're horrible, horrible oversized sculpts with horrible horrible paint apps that look like a 12 year old painted it with an oversized brush made out of horse hair!

Pass for me, big time.

I saw these as well. The paint was terrible, espessially the faces. I can't believe that Target would actually buy into these when they already have the Bravo whatevers on the shelf. Helloooo clearance rack!

Seeing these figures really reenforces what a great job Hasbro and some other companys do when they make 3 3/4" figures. It's not easy to do, and crap like this only makes me appreciate their stuff even more.
