I wasn't going to do this list for two reasons: 1) list overload 2) There are only about thirty some figures from the line that were introduced in 2007 and I particularly love them all. Nevertheless, I am list crazy. So, here it goes:
10. Stalker - Other than the scare of the initial pictures and print run of that ugly camouflage, this is a perfect homage to Stalker. 9. Firefly - I've always loved the look of this character and it didn't bother me so much that it was a retooled Beachhead. However, Firefly could have easily been in the top five if Hasbro stuck with the darker grey color shown at the Joe Convention. Don't get me wrong, this is still a great figure. 8. Cobra Commander - This metal plated leader of the evil terrorist organization: Cobra, looks awesome and the removable helmet is a nice touch. My only minor complaint is his head may be a fraction too small. 7. Duke - That's right Duke haters, I love this figure! He represents everything Duke is supposed to. I do think he looks better without his helmet and look forward to seeing the single carded version with American flag on his sleeve. 6. Storm Shadow V2 - It's amazing how Hasbro took an outfit and original figure that I didn't care much for and turn it around into one of the coolest figures in the set. Now I know the body is just the Storm Shadow V1 but it works and I see no reason for it to be otherwise. 5. Beachhead - This is another case of Hasbro taking an original figure that I didn't care much for and turning him into one of my favorites. I love the entire look of this figure and the attention to detail. 4. Hooded Cobra Commander - This figure brings back the fond memory of receiving the original version in the mail. It really looks a lot like the original with the updated sculpt and improved articulation of course. 3. Snake Eyes V1 - Wow! This figure sculpt could not have been better and I love all his gear. My only complaint that is going to be fixed in the next couple assortments is he is a dark grey instead of the pure black that he originally was and should be. 2. Snake-Eyes V2 - This was always my second favorite Joe of all time and that of course helped him to the number two spot but there is no question that this figure is awesome! The only thing that kept him from being number 1 is the same problem I had with the V1 version. I think a pure dark black would have looked superior to the dark grey. However, there is a good chance we will see that in 2008. 1. Storm Shadow V1 - No figure was as perfect as Storm Shadow V1! The detail, the articulation and the accessories are all as perfect as can be. I could not imagine this figure being done any better! Almost made the list: Flint, Shipwreck & Scarlett http://primetoystore.com/Toys%20for%.../ramblings.htm |

Mine are has follows. FYI I'm only baseing this on who I have.
10. Duke (Not really an all time fav, but he still looks cool.) 9. Snake Eyes v1 (he should be black, but I can't complain to much) 8. Flint (I really would have perfered gloved hands.) 7. Stalker (The weapon selection is odd, but I can deal with it) 6. Gung Ho (Nice detailing very cool figure) 5. Cobra Commander Hooded (He really does look like the mail away fig from way back) 4. Cobra Officer (An AK would have been cool still another cool fig) 3. Roadblock ( This is how the Orginal Rockblock should have been. A big bad mother f*****) 2. Ship Wreck (This fig has a great selection of accessories and Polly is cool loking too) 1. Cobra Air Trooper (I love how this figure can be either an Officer or an Air Support Trooper) Those are my thoughts. |

my top five goes a lil something like this:
5. Black Cobra Commander ( i cant believe how much i like this figure. I use the hooded cc as my leader and I use black cc as a sniper in my Army) 4. Beachead ( figure just looks real. Looks great with a modular m4 from marauders) 3: Buzzer ( Figure kicks ass and just reminds me of a maniac. Poses well too besides the ponytail getting in the way. ) 2. Cobra air trooper (nuff said!!!) 1. Stalker (when teamed up with snake eyes and beachead forms an awesome trio)(an all around great figure. Looks good in many poses and has a great face sculpt. A+++) I dont have shippy or firefly yet so this list may change. MY top ten 6: zartan 7: storm shadow v1 8: stinger driver 9: Destro 10: duke

Best:
5. Black Cobra Commander - hate all you like, but simply on looks, it's a pretty cool figure. 4. Beachhead - nuf said 3. Cobra Trooper v1 - great sculpt, great look, the perfect army builder 2. Firefly - a childhood favorite well done, but I agree, I would have liked to see the darker paint as well 1. Storm Shadow v1 - perfect. abso-fricklin-lutely perfect! Worst: 5. Snake-eyes v2 - I just hate his squished headsculpt! 4. Lady Jaye - all around great figure, but I was never a fan of the hatted version 3. Flint - sleeves and hands REALLY bother me 2. Serpentor - the modern redux has nothing on the classic design!!! 1. Legions Storm Shadow - utterly rediculuous, he never should have looked like this. I fully realize the hypocrisy of my choice for #5 on my likes here, but c'mon, this "dragon" Stormie is stupid!

The black cc getting some love. I think it rocks harder than a spastic at a cradle of filth concert
