Improvements:
5. Firefly (comic pack) - Awesome accessories, great color scheme and design, my favorite character updated flawlessly.
4. B.A.T. - Duh.
3. Storm Shadow/Red Ninja - A ninja should be able to bend and flex and pose in cool positions. Total no-brainer.
2. Shipwreck/Copperhead/Destro/Beachhead/Torpedo, etc. - The taller/leaner look of the 25th Joes just makes these guys look badass compared to their 80's counterparts. In general they are (almost) ALL improvements. (except for Duke and Baroness and Falcon)
1. Blue Uniform, Silver Mask (original 5-pack) Cobra Commander - I had the original (and hooded) CC from the 80's, and overall this is by far the biggest improvement of any character.
Disappointments:
5. HISS Tank - Like the first post said, this could have really used a big improvement.
4. Re-used parts - They've really turned just a few molds into a huge line-up. If I see one more "Flash's Body with ------'s Head" I'm gonna scream.
3. Serpentor/Air Chariot - Terrible paint apps. Just shameful.
2. Major Characters/Vehicles Absent - No Sgt. Slaughter. No Lifeline. No Airtight. No Leatherneck. No Recondo. No Dr. Mindbender. No SkyStriker? No Moray? No Dragonfly? Seriously, what the hell. No Dr. Mindbender???!!!
1. Duke. Every iteration of Duke is a piece of crap. Jetpack Duke is easily the best one and even he was a waste of money at $3. Plus, "Duke Hands." Which is really weird considering how awesome Flint and Hawk and every version of Snake Eyes is. Every major MAJOR character, Joe and Cobra, got really great figures in one or several iterations. Duke got completely shafted 6 times now.
