So.. after passing on buying these three on Friday @ Target, and seeing they were gone by Saturday, I made sure to grab these as soon as I saw them again, which was today (Sunday, different Target).
General Hawk - Initially I passed on him because I don't want another jetpack, and I really REALLY do not like the "joe blue camo" that everyone is wearing at the PIT. But, by the 2nd time around, I figured what the hay. He comes with a cool black briefcase to hold the little green Nanomitewhatevers (comes with 2 of those as well), his fancy silver Jetpack, small pistol and a black rifle. Overall not a bad figure, good likeness to Dennis Quaid as well. With a headswap this could be any figure in a black shirt. Agent Helix - I had passed on her as well, the hair coloring kinda turned me off. Again after some thought, I decided to get her anyways. She's a good, if somewhat generic, female commando, without all the cheesy 'reactive armor' or whatnot that the other female characters come with (or even cheesier blue camo!). She comes with kinda lame silver pistols and a machinegun (they are solid silver, no real details). She also has a BIG silver machete (really big) and a satellite dish. Go figure. This figure is going to be really good for customs, as many people want more female bodies to play with.. huh huh. Yeah I said it. Crimson Neo-Viper - Now hear me out, I hates the Neo-Vipers. The picture on the package looks nothing like the toy. They mangled the head. They have been called Turtles and worse. I agree. I won't pick up a single "Neo Viper" because of this, a really cool figure.. that was DISfigured. Sigh. That being said, the CRIMSON Neo-Viper is a little better. Like the title says, he is wearing mostly RED armor (same as regular Neo-Viper), but the red paintjob masks his mask better, so it's a little more passable than the standard silver mask of the Neo-Viper. He comes with a silver machinegun, giant silver machete (same as Helix), some hatchets, a Pike (yep), and a box of snakes. Interesting figure. My verdict is still out on him.

Yeah, don't know why. The target these were at didn't get the Desert Ambush Duke's or Cobra Commanders, so who the heck knows!

Does the Crimson Viper have a gunbelt on? It's hard to tell from the arm & weapon's position.

He has a belt around the waist, but nothing attached to it.

I actually really like the Hawk sculpt, evil blue pants and all. Maybe he'll be a naval something... mhmm.

Hawk and Sgt. Stone are way too similar.

Agreed, that's why I'm returning Stone and getting Hawk instead.
