They are all made up of existing parts. They didn't even bother to sculp new heads for Ripcord (Ace's Head), H & R (Airborne repaint) and Wet-Suit (Torpedo repaint). I guess they must be identical twins in the Joe world that no one ever bothered to mention to us.
With the price of plastic being so "expensive" (which is complete bull!!!) Hasbro should just charge us for quality and give us new characters with new sculpts instead of constantly shelving out customized repainted molds from existing parts and calling them other characters. I mean these figures are slowly reaching the $10 mark and hardly come with any accessories. I know Hasbro can do better but they prefer to cut corners every way possible..
On another note...
I am excited about the cobra island packs. Eventhough the same problem exists I can clearly see that they put more thought into each figure. Every figure looks awesome!!! I'll most likely wait until next year to pick em up as singles in Waves 14 -16 because I will particularly army build certain ones...
To point out, Ripcord looks like a Red Star head, Wetsuit looks new and Yes, Ariborne is used for Hit and Run..
More to the point, who cares? They look good and used the existing parts well. I mean, how many uniform variations can there be? The existing parts work for what we're being given.
I understand where you're coming from, but I think they're all sweet and haven't a complaint about them. All except Mindbender who still looks ridiculous with his barchest and suspenders.
