Finally found the comic packs, at the De Pere Wal Mart. I'd expect they will start showing up at the other Wal Marts soon. I was walking down the aisle toward the toy section, and saw someone walking away from that area with a comic pack in which I instantly recognized Copperhead. Having visions of being 2 minutes too late to snag the comic packs, I hurried to that section. Luckily they must have had a few of each. I picked up a complete set.
Firefly is awesome... I skipped the carded figure waiting for this one... and must say it was worth the wait. Unfortunately due to Hasbro's packaging poses, Storm Shadow's left leg won't straighten out. Might have to try the boiling water trick to see if I can bend his leg back into shape. Otherwise he poses on the stand with that leg slightly bent.
The pack that surprised me the most is Shipwreck and Copperhead. I never really liked either figure as a kid... but Copperhead has probably the best paint job of any figure yet... the soles of his boots are painted... the dirty swamp water wash on the insides of his legs... just an awesome looking figure. Shipwreck also looks better, IMHO, with the life jacket on than he did on the original carded without it.
The award for strangest pack goes to Duke Red Star. Duke has a pistol but no holster, and Red Star has a knife with no sheath. Other than that the figures are nice... especially Red Star, although I like the all green Duke because I think he fits in well with the all green found on most of the original 13. I wish Hasbro would release accessory packs with some armored vests to use to break up the all green on all of those older figures, but until then at least he isn't wearing an off white shirt (which isn't exactly camo, is it?).
If you see these... pick them up... they are some good figures.
