[Kluster Bombs]

I just saw some pics of Lady Jaye, Serpentor, Beach Head, Buzzer, Cobra Trooper, and some prototypes of Zartan, Sgt. Stalker, Red Ninja, Firefly and others.

Im not sure I like Lady Jaye's hat. It looks kinda small for her head.I need to see more pics of her though. All the rest of the figures look great specially Serpentor.
