G.I. JOE 25th Anniversary Comic 2 Packs Images

I like all of them, simple but a nice start. The first wave of Star Wars comic packs where pretty simuler with a bunch of repaints but after the first wave they just keep getting better and better.

I'm not complaining since the original 5 packs are nowhere to be found on the shelves.

I'm wondering if Duke's day glo green pants are a result of bad lighting? Maybe Black Light?

Hawk is going to be an awesome short cut to make more green shirts. I have to becarfull, the rate I’m going I’m going to have an army of Scarlets.

The other two sets get a “megh”.

I like the Hawk but the rest are just more repaints and I too and just way over more storm shadow, snake eyes and scarlett! How about using those slots for figures we haven't seen in awhile? Hell I'd rather have a 2 pack with snow job and quick kick (borovia mission) or kwinn and dr. venom from issue 15! now those I would lie, cheat and steal for!

remakes, repaints, whatever, I love 25th joes, my pants get tight every time I see them, so I buying them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Always cool to see new product, even if they are a lot of repaints. I'm loving the OG 13 style Hawk very much...the rest of the figures are just kind of super bright versions of the originals, but we're getting some cool Sunbow laser rifles and a blue Snake Eyes, which is cool...

Give it time, I'm sure the comic packs will start making improvements like the Star Wars ones have...

I'm a little disappointed but this is about what I expected. They still look nice though. I hope we get a version 2 Hawk, not another blond version, soon but this will do for now. I was a little surprised Snake Eyes is blue and Storm Shadow has blue accessories but I will buy them all. I hope wave two is a little better. Maybe we will get the original 13 since Hasbro loves that Snake Eyes mold so much.

You could always paint half the Scarlett figures blue and the other half green for some Cobra and G.I. Joe female troopers. Maybe even do something with the hair so they don't look so much like Scarlett.

I will buy these if for no other reason than to support this line

Wow. I was planning on completing the 25th line sight unseen until I saw these. Like everyone else, I like the Hawk figure, but he's not worth $10-$12 and another useless Scarlett to own. Pass on all of these.

They're going to wreck the mold to that Snake Eyes body.

This pack was going to be requested even if it was not even in the wave or future waves. Not to mention there is a good number of fans, hardcore and casual, who only want Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes from the battle packs. One of my friends only wants those two, he does not want to pay $50 for two figures he wants, and eight that he does not want. Out of the entire first wave, the SE/SS pack seems like an obvious pick for a comic pack. I see it as inevitable that issue 21 was going to be made. Whenever I see a parent or adult walk into the store and look at either the single packs or battle packs, they sometimes mention how hard SE was to find as a child, or ask where they are. They are two of the most popular characters. Look at it as Hasbro getting them out of the way, for more fan favorite/neglected/obscure characters in later waves. I'd rather get these guys out of the way now, so in a later wave we could get Kwinn and Dr. Venom for example, rather than these 2 guys. Save the best for last they say.

Its an homage if anything else, since most of the "original" 13 utilized the same body type, which was his.

Thats the same exact thing that will happen in this line.
