I got the new Gi Joe VS Cobra Resolute 5 pack, and after I got it unpacked, I became kinda disappointed.
The black bat is sick, but not worth the $30.00 the entire pack cost me. The cobra commander is just like the resolute single pack. Which sucked. lol He doesn't move hardly, because of that stupid cape thing. And most all the figures seem pink to me not red in some areas. The cobra officer is no different from the trooper aside from a upside down triangle on the helmet. And Dukes mask fits really weird on him. Like it's hard to get his eyes to show through it. I would recommend getting the black bat single off Ebay, or don't get this pack at all. Unless you just like collecting everything. Because really there is nothing good in this pack at all, aside from the bat figure. Or wait till it hits clearance. Last edited by SniperX; 06-28-2009 at 11:39 PM.. |

I just remembered. Look at the first picture. See the box they came in, Does mine look beat the hell up, or is that how it came for everyone else? Like all the white around the edges. I can't tell if it is supose to look like that or I just got a ragged, beat up box...

The box is supposed to look like that...
I just got this set an hour ago, opened them up and love them. I'm a fan of that Cobra Commander though. I love the rocket launcher. Duke's jet pack is a little too Buzz Lightyear for me, but it is neat. He's not bad for Duke either. I love the Trooper and Officer. Haha, so we're on opposite ends of the spectrum I guess. *Edit* Here's how to fix Duke's head... take his head off, position inside helmet how you like, then snap back on.

I really, really like this set. The Duke is surprisingly cool. Who would have known they could make me want another Duke? The BAT is without question the best so far (I have two but need one more). The Resolute Troopers look better in Red to me. I've taken the blue one and replaced his head with Resolute Cobra Commander's instead. I always thought the troopers looked more like Vipers than Cobra soldiers.

I personally like this set a lot.
I Believe that this red and black cobra commander looks sleek, compared to all other crimson variations. The bat looks much better in person for those of you undecided about him. And the other figures make good spare custom parts. Personally I did what a man on ebay recently did and swapped the crimson troops heads with crimson guard heads. Looks good. It's great set if you work with customs. |

I'm also a fan of the set. It was cool enough that I grabbed it the moment I saw it. I'm not super crazy about the "worn" look. I guess that helps to set it off from the other 5 packs. I've yet to open it, but am pretty excited. I'd suggest buying it, and the other 5 packs, at Walmart (since I've seen them all there). You save $5 each over TRU.

I mean its a cool pack no doubt, But I'm nt digging how close the red is to pink in some areas.. and how cobra commander is so nonfunctional. his cape thing covers his arms and legs, and for kids he would be hard to lay with...
I still can't get over the black bat.. he is so raw! And Duke is yeah I guess alright... But I dunno, for the PR I didn't think the set was worth it. But I guess I'm one of the odd ppl when it comes to this 5 pack. i'm not complaining.. I'd still buy it again, ust to own it. But i think they could have made it better if you ask me :-??
