Oddly enough just displayed Ff and Serpentor on my shelf, love these 3 packs. Would love to see a return to comic styled 3 or 2 packs base don actually issue of the comics.

Scrap-Iron was just an "no new tool" filler for the pack. They didn't bother with a new head sculpt for him, keeping his rather large one. The bright colors are exagerrated, too. And of course, no original missile launcher, cuz Funskool lost or broke the mold or just Hasbro saving money.
Serpentor doesn't even appear like that in the issue, instead he's shirtless and has khaki pants. A look that could've been kitbashed. Firefly has been used to death at that point, but the new head made it worthwhile to see him again. Still, pretty fun all-Cobra pack with no army builders to worry about trying to get more of. |

I bought this set before I got back into Joes with the 25th anniversary. It was nice to get these guys back (slightly different colors) from when I had them as a kid. The removable helmet for Serpy was nice.

Aww, I like that Scrap Iron. I wish they still made the vintage o-ring designs at some level. I still think an Encore line would work great with JOE like it does for Transformers. I missed out on all of these packs like this.

And sadly, Hasbro clearly didn't have the desire or view it worthwhile to really dig into their tooling library like the club did to offer some really interesting stuff. I love this pack and this wave in general. AT this stage, Hasbro was finally putting out some compelling characters, and the new tooling was awesome all around. Firefly alone made this pack worthwhile, and while Serpentor didn't appear this way in the comic, it was nice to see him get some acknowledgment from Hasbro. Scrap Iron was just there, but I think there was some appeal to his cartoon-ish colors.

Firefly in this set is excellent, the pissed off fierce saboteour look was way better than the mopey original. Serpentor's rage to all hell head sculpt was awesome too, and I LOVED the paint apps! Scrap Iron could've used a new head with removable helmet too but oh well.
I have mixed feelings over the comic packs, I LOVE the concept, it's what got me back into the Marvel run too. However, I hated how sporadic the quality control was. This was one of the better packs for sure. |
