out of all of them I have to say the cobra diver is the best.... I love the color scheme.

I thought Ripper was meant to be a cartoon version,not this crappy comic thing.
Nice work Hasbro,you managed to gay up another perfectly good Dreadnok,he can join Buzzer on that list. Gutted,now there is nothing in this wave I'll buy. |

While i have had enough repaints myself i think this wave isn't really all that bad. The diver i think looks quite cool. Nice colors and i think will go nice along side the eels. Having a variety of divers can't be bad. Ripper, well i wanted a carded one and he looks good except a bit bright and why did his tattos change? Trip wire looks the same but i wanted a carded one so i'll buy. I just wished they would have done a desert theme one. PPCG, i don't care for python patrol and never will. I'll buy one to keep in package. Ninja viper is decent. Color is a little wierd but it works in a way. Of course the trooper's are always cool in my book so i'll buy a few.

I don't care for repaints. The Ripper & Crimson Guard are a turn off. However, I too like the color scheme of the Cobra Diver.

Cobra Diver: I am cool with this figure, especially if he has a new head I think it's a great repaint... gun seems off though.
Ninja Viper: much prefered to another figure named Storm Shadow as I was not a fan of the white original version shown for this release & would rather a better more accurate Storm Shadow '88 later. Ripper (animation colors): best idea for a direct repaint of this fig. Tripwire: a straight rerelease? Are they serious? They couldn't make him the deep green/white/blue visor animation colors? If this is true & we are not getting the aforementioned "Desert Tripwire" this is the worst repack ever because you have to rebuy him if you want the element. Python Patrol CG: cool with me. Love the new card art. Cobra Trooper (hybrid):This is a case where they did make him different but I would have prefered him as straight rerelease instead of the Tripwire being the same or having them both be different. I'll have 1 anyway because they did make him different, so to me this is cooler then the Tripwire release. Last edited by Steel Brigade; 09-22-2008 at 07:48 PM.. |

Wow, at least someone else agrees exactly.
The red facemasks AND yellow webgear bug me the most. I don't know why they started adding in white, I guess to look more cartoon-accurate... But even those aren't consistently painted, and you STILL only get 1 per 3- or 4-pack. |

Why another Ripper when we don't have a Thrasher or Monkeywrench?

Repaints, repaints repaints.... Ever see that Simpsons episode Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy. Lisat tries to make a new doll to compete with Malibu Stacy which for 30 years has been the same thing over and over again. When they finally unveil it the coporation has released a Malibu Stacy no diffrerent than the others expect the new one comes with a hat. Of course the collectors rush to get the MS with the new hat. Come on, let's get something new Hasbro!
Also, in that episode is an appearance from Adventure Team Gi Joe. He is an ex-husband of the woman that Malibu Stacy was modeled after. Quoted from the episode. [I]Stacy exhales smoke and smashes her drink into the fire. "All right, we'll make your doll." But there's a knock at the door. Joe: Stacy, please, I must have you back. Just come for a ride with me in my Mobile Command Unit[tm]. Stacy: Joe, I told you, it's over. Release me from your Kung-Fu Grip[tm]. Joe: Fine. I'll bomb your house into the ground, missy.[I] I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of that episode when I see all the repaints But I don't mind this wave because I'm starting to cherry pick this line and this wave is a money saver. Mind you, I might get the Trooper and Ninja Viper to army build so this line might still get my money |

I don't feel the need to buy multiples of this wave or any of the Cobra "special teams" for that matter...but I love the idea of a generic Cobra diver.
Cobra henchmen start off as generic troopers before being "promoted" to Viper status...so why not the same treatment w/ divers? As I've been doing since the beginning, I'll buy one of each Cobra to display in Star Cases on my wall, one of each Cobra to open (between 2-3 of army builders) and one of each Joe to open.
