As much as the repainting sucks, it's still very cool to see more 25th's being released. This set - repaints aside - is looking really sweet. So support Hasbro, so they continue put more out.

Although many gripes can be heard about this set, I too am torn between being a jaded collector and being a happy fan. As I've mentioned elsewhere, this set was only intended to be filler for us until the new year. Sure, we've seen the core characters enough times now to make a grown man cry, but at the end of the day, look at the Gems (IMO) that we get in this set: *Stinger Driver *Jet Pack Trooper *Trooper *Cobra Sound Pack I can surely agree that it's tough to support a line when all that is released are repaints. That being said, I'll still pick up the set as there's 4 items that I want and only 2 that I can do without. Now the comic packs on the other hand...lol, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it ;) |

Sucks that the flags are cardboard but I was more looking forward to the Jet trooper, Stinger driver and the Cobra songbox I already have plans for CC to be repainted and Storm Shadow can become a Ninja Viper if I can find the right paint

Any word yet on whether or not the air Trooper has the regular officer's helmet, too?

Bigduke is from mainland China folks. Thanks for the pics Bigduke! I know most of you hate the Storm Shadow in there, but I think its pretty neat. Let it be known Storm Shadow is my favorite character, and after not seeing many Storm Shadow figures between 2002-04, I am glad we are getting him now. |

There are only 3 more versions of the character that I want, a Ninja Force version, a version 1 with removable mask, and another Ninja Force version with removable mask. I am in no hurry for any of them. I don't really want to see another Storm Shadow until the end of next year. There are a lot more characters I want to see first and Hasbro has given us enough for now.

Still like you this doesn't bother me much. I like the dragon design from the Valor vs. Venom figures. The thing that bothers me about this set is the silver on Cobra Commander's gloves. It just doesn't look right to me.

The 2002 tcrotch version was awesome, yes no O-ring, but the sculpt was great and he was still very poseable, not having articulation compromised like the 2003 VVV version with action attack. The O-ring version of the 2002 figure was slated for single pack release but never made it beyond ebay. That was one of my regrets of the line, that it never came out. That costume rules. I basically waited 2 years for a new sculpt O-ring Storm shadow. I too want a Ninja Force Storm Shadow, that was my favorite costume as a child, however it was one of his worst figures. The gimmick and the compromises needed to house it destroyed the aesthetic of the figure and took away waist articulation. All you need for an anniversary version is to repaint single pack Storm Shadow, sculpt an all new vest with 2 scabbards, do a thigh swap with single pack Snake Eyes, and you're set. I'd love to see a Shadow Ninja version made of transparent plastic like the Sigma 6 stealth Hi-Tech. |

when i first heard about the 2nd Cobra 5-pack, and found out who was in it, I laughed hard. LOL
i mean seriously, another paint job for another character. it's not that I hate storm shadow, but what i hate is that another paint job on this... like what 4th or 5th?!?! and then release it different time periods. frack. i mean come on Hasbro, why not release a Storm Shadow 5-pack instead!!!! i'll take one and i'll get over with it. LOL
