Still look awesome. Really curious about what the prices will be, though.

I'm still definitely looking forward to these as well.

Hm. The Chuckles in the set is in v1's light blue Hawaiian shirt. I wonder what the story behind the dark shirt Chuckles is now.

So, I can definitely tell that Mindbender has CG legs, but what are the thoughts on the torso?

I was really hoping for the Quick Kick torso instead, since I hate the Gung Ho torso and really think it needs to be retired, but still, this Mindbender is better than no Mindbender.

Sexy yet practical?

Still looks like Gung Ho's torso to me. It also looks like the ditched the silver on the suspenders and went with dry brushed silver over black.

I don't know. I'm not as impressed with these sets as I was before. There is just enough there to make me drool, and just enough to make me roll my eyes. I can see a lot of people getting these sets and keeping some and selling the rest.

Still excited about getting the Joe set. The only "meh" gripe I have is the Sgt. Altitude name, and the fact he doesn't come with ParaVipers gear. Haven't had a chance to check with figures I have in hand, but I'm thinking using Copperhead's head on Wet Suit's body would look more like the original.

As for the Cobras, Lamprey is the only one that does much for me. So, I'll be trying to pick him up separately.

Yup, that's Gung Ho's torso.

I'm still THRILLED with both of these sets. Every figure is 100% full of win as far as I'm concerned.

Instead of Copperhead's head, try the helmet that comes with the Resolute Jetpack Duke (which I can't believe no one has used for a Copperhead custom yet).

Looks like they changed Hit N Run's body a bit from the Airborne body. Not sure I like the Cobra torso.
The Night Creeper's head is a little odd, but I like the paint apps.
Other than that, both sets look like "wins". They'll need some MJ upgrades, but its the odd figure that doesn't.

Is it possible that Dark shirt Chuckles was to be a single pack version?

One question.

When?

These sets are almost pure win for me!!! I for one am a happy camper for sure:

JOES

About the only ones I don't like is Zap (someone else can benefit from the boring O13) and green shirt Outback ~ sorry but I like my 25th incarnations to resemble their ARAH figures. But that's ok, I'll switch him with the Outback from the vehicle pack

EDIT: look closely at the Outback pic, there's lettering under his vest - yes "SURVIVOR"!!!!

6/7 Joes = win!

COBRAS

Honestly I wasn't intrested in the Alley, Range, Strato Viper or Lamprey but DAYAMN these look incredible!!! Need 'em all. Battle damaged BAT is a must-have no question, and as much as I think this Mindbender sucks I do need him to complete my cobra hiearchy. The Night Creeper is the most disappointing of the lot, looks weird - killer crossbow though

6/7 Cobras = win!

I'm still in love with these. Recondo (a favorite of mine from when I was younger and found the figure at a yard sale) and Chuckles steal the Joe set to me. They both look perfect and there's nothing that I would change. I too am still interested in the explanation of the darker shirt Chuckles. The Cobra set is perfect. I always loved Range Vipers, and I think I'm looking forward to that figure the most out of any of them.

Is the vest on Outback the vest from the DTC Lowlight or is this something new?
Does the BAT not come with the attachments?

_________________

One other thing I noticed - is Outback supposed to be in Night Force colors? The t-shirt looks too dark to be the standard version. Maybe Hasbro wanted to distinguish this version from the FLAK/CLAW version?

Chuckles looks so much better! I can't wait for the Joe pack.

As for the Cobras, dibs on a Mindbender for those buying mupltiples for army building please.
