I bought two, Zartan and Black CC. Those two came with decent accessories (a few swords, crossbow, and heads for Zartan and two guns and a giant snake staff for CC) and have excellent upper body articulation. However, it is the leg articulation that suffers. While I can live with the single knee joint (not much articulation is lost, I compared it with Renegades Storm Shadow and if that bent at 45 degrees then Zartan's goes at a 50 degree angle. The biggest fault is the lack of ankles, which is more annoying with Zartan than Cobra Commander, but they are still good figures. I'd wait for the Wave 2 Roadblock, though, as that appears to have a full range of lower body articulation as well as two open hands. Duke will probably end up as the main character you can skip, but the rest look to be worth it, especially the GI Joe Trooper if that is your sort of thing.
