Wow, not very impressed with this Sneak Attack Firefly 3 pack 50th. Very disappointing. Not sure what other people have said, i'll read the forum later, but not impressed at all. The Bazooka figure looks like a gigantic mexican wrestler (which is fine but Bazooka was not this), Dusty has loose legs, and the Firefly has those crooked legs that I've seen on other Joes (down at the knee joint). Also, the Firefly Cobra emblem is horrible. Wow, can't believe how bad this is. I did get some of the others, still waiting on smalljoes order. I never posted on this board nor ordered from smalljoes before, so we'll see what happens. I was inspired when I saw all the pics of the new stuff. Some of the other packs are much better though so far...but had high hopes for this one.

He's pretty much the same firefly as the "Ultimate" Retaliation version but he has a newer low profile knife sheath as well as a nicer contrasting paint app. Fore me, it's a toss-up between the 50th Firefly and the "Ultimate" Retaliation 3-pack version but I am leaning towards the 50th due to the paint app and accessories. As for Bazooka and Dusty, I too didn't care them at first and even after a second look I do not have a place for those two in my current display, so it's still a pass. Dusty looks pretty much like a blue POC Jungle Duke; my favorite version of Duke btw but I don't have a blue squad for display nor do I have the room to start. I've read on here he (and Bazooka along with Ace) might belong to a new squad called the Wolf Pack/Squad or some thing like that. Bazooka still looks like Bazooka to me (also, same head sculpt), except blue. I do wish Hasbro re-did him in his original colors. I do like his larger stature since he's one of the larger Joes. However, I'd rather keep the original 25th version because of the original paint app. I do not have time to paint the new 50th version and create his number "14". Also, he has the lower non-articulated legs like the SDCC Steeler but I'd still want a 25th re-paint regardless. I might want his lower hands for my 25th Bazooka though. I think it has the swivel wrists, didn't get a good look before he sold.

I always thought Bazooka looks as though he is wearing a Patriots jersey in his original colors so I gave my 25th figure away now that I have the blue Bazooka. He looks more like he is sporting a Colts jersey on my shelf now. Plus the TF Bazooka I have is great as well.

That explains it then. I like the blue on Bazooka and Dusty. Its a nice change for their colors.

As most, Gung Ho for me was the figure to get for this years wave. However, I think Firefly is one of the nicer figures in the 50th line. I sold my first 50th Firefly from the 3-pack almost immediately after I listed it for sale. Upon packing it up, I realized the figure was nicely detailed and his new accessories were nicer than the Ultimate Retaliation version; backpack and the MP5 with suppressor. At that point I had seller's remorse. Immediately, I had to locate another 3-pack to keep a Firefly for my collection. If anything, I don't like the new Torpedo as much as I thought I would. I like my 25th Torpedo better.
He's pretty much the same firefly as the "Ultimate" Retaliation version but he has a newer low profile knife sheath as well as a nicer contrasting paint app. Fore me, it's a toss-up between the 50th Firefly and the "Ultimate" Retaliation 3-pack version but I am leaning towards the 50th due to the paint app and accessories.

Forgive me if this has been brought up elsewhere, it's a long thread. I got my Silent Strike set in today. There's an empty spot in the figure tray in the bottom left corner. This looks like it was designed to hold the chest armor for the HISS driver/gunner: one figure has the plate off to the side, the other is wearing it. Not sure if this is a packaging oops or if I'm missing something. Can anyone confirm?

^^ There's a spot on the back that numbers all the parts included. I'll bet that if the vest was not on the figure, it would have made the separate parts number higher, so they just added it to the figure instead.
That's why you have some accessories in their hands or holsters, but others are in individual parts of the tray. That's my theory anyway.
