Plus, which comic packs do you want to see in the future?
For me the worst are pretty obvious. Hawk/Scarlet and CC/Duke. Colors, though trying to match the comic, were terrible. Duke/Red Star was a bit of a dissapointment. Duke has a plain outfit and trades his arms for some new, almost as bad ones with bare-hands that should obviously be gloves. Red Star's not only gets Duke's beat arms but also has a holster that pretty much insures he won't sit in a vehicle anytime soon! My personal favorite is Firefly/Storm Shadow. That Firefly by himself would have been worth the $10, and even the comic was good! I think the comic-packs are consistantly at their best when they provide figures people would like, but maybe wouldn't want to pay full price for individually. The Crimson Twins, Torch/Ripper, and Fred/Scarface were perfect. For a future release I think Zandar/Zarana would be a no-brainer, along w some Oct Guard. C'mon Hasbro, give us some new 'Nocks and russkies! |

Well keeping in mind I haven't opened Wave 4 yet...
Worst: CC/Duke Best: Tomax/Xamot Zandar/Zarana together would be awesome! I think the comic packs are best when both of the figures are army builders or when both of the figures aren't army builders. You know what I mean? I don't want to have to get multiple Destro/IG packs just to get more than one IG. I don't even know what I'm gonna do with one grey Destro,much less more than one. |

I like the comic pack idea. But so many of the past 2-packs were horrible. The only ones i got were.
Firefly and storm shadow,copperhead and shipwreck,tomax/xamot ace vs wild weasel,snake eyes and storm shadow,torch,ripper. I cant wait for the next packs. There are a few in that wave i want.

Hands down the worst one is Duke and CC in their neon colors galore.
The best one I'd say the Twins and Firefly and SS one.

Think I like the Tomax and Zamot one the best. For some reason I can't find wave 4, usually wal-mart can't even give the comic packs away. Just found the newest vehicles though

C'mon Hasbro, give us some new 'Nocks and russkies! but i rather liked the duke/red star....that particular duke (who i gave gloved hands to) is my "rookie" duke. and red star, where he isnt the best figure ever made...it was better than another commander or snake eyes. id like to see more oktober guard as well! |

Honestly I almost only buy comic packs anymore as single carded figures are a joke pricewise. Granted some of the comic packs may not be the best, but if you're like me and like to customize then not ony are comic packs great but they're a helluva lot cheaper too. And aside from the godawful colors in some(duke and cc I didnt mind scarlett as much) they're a better value and I personally love em :> Just my opinion.

We've gotten some good characters from the comic packs (Copperhead, DD Storm Shadow, a new Firefly, The Twins, Ripper, Torch, O13 Hawk, and soon we'll have Tripwire, Falcon, & Nemesis Enforcer).
But they've also insulted us with characters in goofy, glowing colors and too many doubles (Shipwreck, Duke, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow). I only got many of them so I could get my Doc. And Red Star? Seriously? Unless there's more Ocktober guard to follow, that was a waste. Recondo & Ripcord are still missing. My favorites is the Firefly/Storm Shadow one. I know neither one is a new character, but they're new as far as we've never seen either of them in that style before. Plus their accessories rock & the comic story is sweet! I think the worst is the Duke/Cobra Commander. I have nothing good to say about that 2-pack except it got me a Doc sticker... |
