Which, well, is true. Could've sued those slots in the 5 packs for other characters, or versions of HoH characters. But that is Hasbro for ya.

Zartan: blows chunks, just awful. The torso + armor = FAIL. nice drybrushing though. NO!!!
Storm Shadow looks great and finally has a full set of gear. Woould have been nice to get his sleeves though. maybe!!! BAT nice that they included both packs and heads, but i LOOOOOOOVE the drybrushing/inkwash on the existing BATs, so this isn't really a big deal to me. Also nice that they painted the grenade an appropriate color. NO!!! Beachhead I really hate the new comic pack head they used here and liked his first release colorscheme better ~ this may be more ARAH-accurate, but i liked the more subdued tones on the first release. nice mud on the boots though!NO!!! Crimson Guard looks nice enough, but if his helmet and backpack don't match his uniform (hopefully that's a prerelease issue that will be fixed @ production): FAIL!!! NO!!! (unless the colours are fixed, than maybe) - still seems a totally pointless release after single card, comic pack and TRU 5 pack. Firefly - WTF?!?!?!?! they STILL didn't get his colors right!!!!! argh. I figured we'd FINALLY get one with a perfect ARAH paint job (i'm not one for slavish ARAH recreations but his OG deco is still superior to any done in the 25th) AND i figured he'd finally get his original gun here. o_0. Nicely packed with accesories though. NO!!! Flint THANK GOODNESS it looks like they used the original headsculpt. It took only 4 trys but they finally got him right. funny that they included both shotguns. The pack being brown is a little wierd, I'd think they'd have done it the same as his green straps. YES!!! Commando Snake Eyes don't i already have this figure on my shelf and isn't he shipping in current revision cases??? NO!!! Ninja Snake Eyes pretty damn good ~ that's the 07 headsculpt, right? I skipped every release of this figure cuz i thought they all sucked, nice to see they finally got it right ~ looks like they even used different hands then the clown ones that shipped in the DVD pack??? Still a backpack with a sword Sheath would have been nice. Not really a fan of the new Timber Sculpt either, but that's a small nit to pick Maybe!!! Viper Awesome ~ would love to army build this, but not @ $10-12 a pop :( overall a pretty poor showing and absolutely terrible character selection (Zartan and Commando Snake-Eyes were ridiculous inclusions). I'm really disappointed in these ~ although, no Duke or Cobra Commander is a plus, LOL. but, c'mon man, where's my redone Storm Shadow v.2!!!

As if $65 just to get a Short Fuse, $20 for a Dusty, and another $20 for an Alpine wasn't enough.

Well I know the Zartan made the list because when V1 was released in 2008 everyone hated it and then we got v2 Zartan which was a LOT better, and in the meantime they just re-painted it a couple more times (including HOH) and we got crap in a bucket.
For $12, you'd think they'd give us color-changing at least... |

wow, Hasbro. Apart from the CG, you almost read my mind concerning all the tweaks n' updates that were needed. I was REALLY wishful-thinking when I listed em. Let's see how it went:
Snake Eyes (commando): ALL IN BLACK, YES! Snake Eyes w/ timber: shit YES... 5 pack sculpt plus a couple tweaks to make it even better: older wave 1 head and shoes (I think they used the upper arms too). Coulda been a darker gray in the detailing, but he's perfect nevertheless. Just missing the freakin backpack (never liked it, anyways) Storm Shadow: Oh yes. 5 pack version with no gray. They didn't apply any silver to the belt-thingy but I can see where they were headed... totally on purpose. Flint: AWESOMENESS. 5 pack body and webgear, wave 1 head... and I don't mind the weather boots look. Great accessories. Zartan: Holy shit, they actually pulled a wave 10! Looks like he's got a "weathered" look on his armor... nice! Beachhead: HA! Comic pack version with corrected paint app for the vest (the gray). Weathered boots are weird but he looks perfect nevertheless. BAT: WOW, a shitload of accessories. They didn't go for the weathered look on the mechanical parts. That's fine. Viper: 5 pack version but the gray/silver highlights on the boots are back. No problem! Firefly: Not completely sold on this one... if only because they didn't fix that stupid webgear of his so that he won't look neck-less. And he's got no knife, either. CG: WHY. So... HOH wave 2: DUKE: corrected arms, accurate-colored backpack, binoculars... and perhaps the jetpack CC: cartoon 4 pack chrome faceplate version... sans the webgear. Cobra Trooper: cartoon 4 pack version with both the classic trooper webgear AND the parachute Cobra Officer: cartoon 4 pack headsculpt with the added officer insignia. DESTRO: black bodysuit (not gray), chromed head, working left hand. BARONESS: 5 pack version, perhaps without the silver highlights. who else?
