Awesome review! Can't wait for Entertainment Earth to get their shipments in...
Any luck on reviewing the G.I. Joe pack yet?

i gave the set a 4. the saving grace to me, and the only reason to get the set, is the Baroness, which is a marked improvement on the original 5-pack version and the blue version. the wave 11 and HoH Zartan makes this one completely unnecessary, and the translucent chest piece looks silly. the Storm Shadow looks ok, but i don't think it is too much of an improvement over the earlier version. plus, it will be released as an HoH figures, so it could be picked up on its own. i don't like the chrome on the Viper. i think it looks goofy. the red is too bright on the grenades and arm pads. the only improvement i see over the original is the fixed wrists, which, to me, wasn't that big of a deal.

I was just about to ask if the sleeveless SS in HoH was the only version we had like that, but of course, it's here as well! I wasn't originally thrilled with these, but these seem like a good assortment of cartoon or ARAH accurate figs to make my definitive versions.

I'd understand it being a welcome change if her footwear got more practical, but heels serve only to break as she runs about being evil. And even if you suggest that it's to increase her sexy image... well, wedges accomplish the same effect as heels without having a part prone to snapping off. |

Why is this a welcome change, exactly? The wedges of the previous release were basically a sturdier version of the same shoe.

As for the heel breaking off, the plastic they use now days is too soft for that. |

Thanks for the reviews. My set should be coming soon. I think the Baroness face would look a lot better with a cleaner repaint of the glasses and lips.
