i want Stalker/Short-fuse/Hiss Driver/Steeler and the Crimson Hiss, but the rest i can do without...

Stalker's black beret is going straight onto my arctic night ops sqad.
I didn't realize that Short Fuze is just a different colored plastic mold of Doc's head... and I think it looks like crap. I think all original 13 deserve at least character specific head molds. Seriously, Short Fuze looks like a giraffe due to the small head on the long neck stem.
Other than that, Destro looks very nice, 2nd best next to the MASS device version, IMHO. Cobra gunner, cool colors. Hiss driver, better colors. even CC has better colors than old versions. |

You can probably bet money on it. The next one will have minor improvements, and then maybe just maybe by the time they get to the third release they might just get it right,
I'm not making a move on anything from this set: One thing you need with the 25th line is patience.

| | Cobra Soldier Join Date: Sep 2007 Posts: 10 | Ultimate rip-off for ME. I got my set for $5!
A stupid, blonde, Target girl checked me out. I purchased a Snake Eyes for $4.99 with it and she just hit x2 for the Battle Pack and never scanned it! I got a Snake Eyes AND the UBP for $10 and some change.
Yes, I could have been honest and told her, but would you??!! |

I love the Mobat. brings back a ton of happy memories. CC & flight Trouble Bubble is cool. I think Short Fuze is pretty awesome too... I like the color variations on his web gear. Feels like they wanted to get him right on the first try. Hiss Driver is cool, as is the gunner...
I already have a red HISS, so I'll be selling the one from the pack... along with the Destro and probably the Steeler. |

I love the Mobat!!! My wife and I built towns out of blocks with my son and we leveled them! |
