A lot of people will crap on it, but I'd much rather get a comic pack, at $5/figure, with 2 GOOD troop builders in it, versus a troop builder paired with someone I don't care about (umpteenth IG Destro, in weird colors anyone?) or one great figure with one I could give a half damn about (Copperhead with Shipwreck, or CP Firefly with S&M Storm Shadow?).
As much as I hate Scarface's yellow and red color scheme, a little black paint fixes that, and the scar's not that noticeable... This is a great comic pack if you ask me, in the lines of the CG/Trooper Comic Pack. I'd go so far to say, behind the best CPs like Xamot/Tomax and Torch/Ripper, this is probably the third best idea, and it's solely repaints, but repaints done right.
It's about time. Now I'll be picking up some IGs, as I've intentionally avoided them thus far, as they've unnecessarily been paired with a crappy IG Destro repaint or a silly-painted purple IG. If they're not going to be single-carded, then this is a brilliant way to release them finally. A shame we didn't get them this way the third time.
At least I get some useful army builders, and some good ones at that. I for one, don't hate the Vipers. Sure there are problems, but the blueshirts have drawbacks too.
