Serpentor needs to be, um, like his original toy. I hope they don't think this resembles his classic look.
Does anyone know if the Skeleton Warrior has any articulation? Doesn't look like it....
If it doesn't, that is just plain cheap. Basically paying for 3 figures.

Snake Eyes, despite being a tad too purply for my taste, IS a new sculpt, or revised. Note the original bracelet things around his ankles, and other correct molded items from the original 80s V2 Snake Eyes.
Cobra Commander, yes, a tad lame, although he IS cartoon-colored, and not dark blue. While I prefer the darker blue uniform today, as a kid, I never liked that my CC hooded figure didn't match the cartoon.
Bludd is a vast improvement over the carded figure, and much closer resembles the cartoon, which is how I remember him. Plus, the vest now fits better than the original.
Serpentor... meh. I don't know why it's taken 3 times to make him right, and he's still not there, but the new additions do make him look more classic. He was always the "Galvatron" of GI Joe to me, so I never liked him much. But I do feel like he needs that crest thing behind his head to look iconic as "Serpentor".
Quick Kick is awesome.
The mummy figure, while a neat play piece... really? Couldn't we get cartoon-accurate Flint? That's a repaint I want. Or better, a new figure entirely?
And I agree, where's Sarge? Okay, copyright/image use, whatever. Call him Drill Sarge or something. The kitbashers have made decent ones based off the existing molds, where is the Sarge? | |

Yay, another.....Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander....ugh.
Bludd looks great.
Quick Kick with no ankle articulation and "Judo Chop" hand is lame. Way to make a character a lot of people wanted into crap, Hasbro.

Still, Mindbender and Sarge would have made much more sense in the set. | |
