ok so after opening my 3 poc figures I'll give my little 2cents opinion on the figures.
1st up is Beach Head: I do love the basic mold and head sculpt on this one but I do have a few gripes with the figure. I was going to try and get atleast 2 one for a custom and one to keep as is. After opening the package and working all the joints I noticed his hands are in the 'monkey grip' is what I call it. I had to heat his hands up then squeeze a tighter grip and run the hands under cold water to get him to hold ANY of his weapons. 2. As everyone else is stating "2 knife sheathes-1 knife". This wasn't as big an issue as I had thought it would be. I had taken a 25th alley viper knife and placed it upside down in his back sheathe, Problem solved until I get a better knife. 3. Whoever designed his look obviously didn't think anyone would use his gas mask as it is almost prohibited from being placed over his head in any workable fashion. 4. Demon flippers, NUFF SAID! With those minor gripes aside I like the figure but not enough to want a 2nd after all 7/10 2: Firefly. I was only setting out wanting 1 of him but after tinkering with it I want 2 more to make his 'back-up'. The ONLY things I can find negative is the fact that his pack makes him top/back heavy and his weapons don't really fit into his persona but that is just a personal preference easily remedied by some armament swapping. 8.5/10 3. Alley Viper. I honestly cannot say enough good about this version. He has gone to become my present favorite POC figure now. I do understand that 90% of the figure is recycled from various sources but DAMN, they did a banging good job. I really don't have a single gripe about this even though the grappling gun wouldn't stay on his pack, I just used a pin vise to make the finger hole on the rifle a tad bigger, Problem solved. I know now that I want 4 more of these to troop build as it has so much potential as-is but also has the extra accessories to fiddle around with customs. I intend to make a 5 man Alley Viper squad. 1 in a resolute alley viper style with the helm/goggles, light assault rifle and shield/tonfa for the squad leader. 2 with the maroon helm and heavy weapons/shield for the muscle. and 2 with gas masks and small arms for infiltration units. 10/10. Keep in mind this was in no way an actual review and just my opinion. I just thought of sharing for my fellow Bama and Tenn tankers. And for those not wanting to open these so they know what to kind of expect. All-in-all I am pleased with POC and am a little sad that I didn't have enough money when I got to see the lady at target open the case and let me have the 1st crack at it. I would have bought the whole case if I could have. my next few I am wanting in the order I would like to pick up are: Snow Job, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and maybe a duke but I dunno about him yet. GUYS, Good luck in your 'Pursuit of joes' LOL. |

Crayfish and Brcall can vouch for me. thanks bro. Oh and if I come across any more CC's that are mint, I'll pick them up for you guys as I have no interest in this figure. Cost+shipping if I have to mail it is all I ask, or trade for Alley Viper/firefly. Last edited by Regilan Viral; 08-06-2010 at 07:59 AM.. Reason: added CC info |

"THE NEW JOES ARE IN!! HURRY BEFORE THIS GUY WALKING AROUND GETS THEM ALL!!!!11!!" I thought about going up there last night, but I was tired and my wife wanted to watch a movie. Not to mention the only figure I want is Firefly, and I'm sure I'll find one soon at Target. I'm also not paying $10 for it, and it would have been too late to have WM call Target to price match. @GI C: That Madison Walmart must have put all of the new Star Wars/GI Joe stuff in the back, because when I stopped by at 9:00pm last night there was NOTHING there. |

I need Jabba the Hutt with naked Oola.
And that is not a mixed drink. I was at Wal-Mart at midnight last night asking someone about Star wars and everyone who went to the backroom to check never came back. |
