That Para-Viper looks awesome!
Lt. Falcon is awful and a huge disappointment. If they were going to just make him from an existing figure, then why not use Tiger Force Flint? This way they would at least be rid of those crappy Duke arms. |

Well, we got two so-so versions of Hawk before they made the truly awesome carded General Hawk, so maybe we'll get a decent Falcon next year or something. We'll just have to keep bugging Hasbro to make a new one from scratch.

I always hated that red gun the IGs came with.

You know, at this point, I'm just going to make a custom Falcon using Dusty's chest/torso and legs, and Flint's arms, the Viper's shoulders and maybe modified Duke hands since the Hasbro one is really weak. I suspect we'll see a lot of grat customs of Falcon when the DVD set with Dusty is out.

Finally, the Iron Grenadier.......at first when the pics came out for him I was really disappointed but I think it might actually be one of my favorite figures for this new line now (I think he's a repainted kit-bash that Hasbro actually managed to really do right! Only minor things that I might "improve" upon is his missing red chest pad on his left side, make his right arm all black, give him red kneepads and add his red straps and gold holster on his legs.
The comic pack IG doesn't look bad in and of itself, but when I think that this is supposed to be a tribute/remake of the original sculpt, that's where it really fails imo. Hasbro confirmed yet again in a panel at Joecon that they are lurking in the forums to get fan feedback. So I would like any Hasbro Joe team members to know that I would have army built this toy if you guys had invested in new tooling. The head, webgear, accessories look good, but the deco is off and Battle Armor Cobra Commander's body does not look like the IG uniform at all, no matter how black the plastic is. I will be passing on the TRU 3-pack and just buying one comic pack. C'mon Hasbro. I know you can do better. And if you do, I'll spend more money on your products. |

I really don't understand the hate for Falcon. To me he looks okay. I won't buy him, but he looks like a passable version of the ARAH version. Can someone explain why he is so loathed?
And the IG, I have to agree, if it was an all new sculpt, I would have army built these dudes like crazy. Now as it stands I may just buy the TRU 3 pack and call it done! |

Whenever a "Sgt. Flash", "Cpl. Breaker" or "GI JOE Doc" leave their packet in my house, they revert to "Flash","Breaker" and "Doc". The same will be true of the SHARC, so Hasbro can call these things what they want as long as it circumvents copywrite and gets the toy released!
I was going to moan about how crappy the "modern era" Bazooka Trooper's RPG was for a sophisticated organisation like Cobra, but the bio does at least address this. Still a cool figure though!
