Another vote for Serpentor. I'm a fan of the original and I don't understand why they changed him. Almost every other figure in this line is a tribute to the originals except for Serpentor and Zartan. Serps loses out because they made his figure so big, it doesn't even look like he's in the same scale as the rest. Somehow I was able to dig around and find my old golden snake for him to carry, but he really disappointed me.

I have more "gripes" than dislikes.

Posture.

Scarlett. I cut the neck off my comic pack Scarlett, flipped the stump around and re-glued it, looks sooo much better, I may do it to the 5-pack Scarlett.
Baroness.

Useless figures.

Storm Shadow in his Cobra uniform is cool as hell, but the one that came with the Legions pack was pretty useless.

Wobbly joints.

Gung-Ho.
Roadblock.
Cobra Troops.

Closed fists, weapon specific hands.

Cobra Commander.
Destro.
Shipwreck.
Roadblock's left hand.


Footpeg hole location.

All figures, (Except Lady Jaye) I can not even tell you how silly it is to have the foot peg hole on the shallowest part of a figure's foot. Why not on the heel like the old figures. I'm having a heck of a time keeping the figures on their stands.

Soft plastic.

It is nice to never have to worry about broken thumbs and crotches ever again, but when they can't even hold their weapon, then there's something wrong. I'm looking in your direction Comic pack Buzzer and Torch.

Packing them in displayed poses.

Looks cool, but messes up their weapons and hands. I took the sword out of the Cobra 5-pack and only bent it a little and I actually ended up flaking the paint off.

Skinny handles on weapons.

I have to use tape to bulk up Storm Shadow's swords so he can hold them. Looks gawdy.

Weapon choice and construction.

I guess this is subjective. But it's really weird what weapons come with some figures. It's cool that a lot of the Joes have side arms now, but I miss Buzzer's original chainsaw gun. Lady Jay's camera. Shipwreck's anchor thingy on the rope. Why are Scarlett and Beachhead's crossbows in two peices?

Head sculpts.

This is also subjective. I'm not a fan of Stalker's weird face. Flint's is no better. I absolutely think the face mask on the Crimson Guard is way to long. He looks like a monkey. But the rest are pretty good.

I'm a fan of Serpentor once I bought him. He reminds me of a Roman general pondering over a distant battlefield. Especially when you remove his helmet and make him hold it.



I'm also a fan of Shipwreck. (Except that closed fist.) I love the way he can hold his shotgun around the top. I added some V2 Alpine rope and he looks pretty good. I was also able to find a decent head paint job.



I was able to get my Duke to hold his binoculars, but I agree, they are sooo small. They should've been the old school gigantic binocs.

The size is one of the few things I like about Serpentor. There's no reason for a genetically engineered super warrior to NOT tower over his peers.

Although he doesn't like being teased about it apparently.

I wouldn't think IG Destro would look right with a silver head, then again I always liked the gold head upgrade.

Any plans for the now severed head? If not, any chance I can get it from you? I was going to get a second IG Destro just for the head to put on a Pimp Daddy Destro (so I can have a gold PDD without spending hundreds of dollars). If I could get the head alone I can leave that second IG Destro for another collector (after I find 1 for myself).

Lady jay is the weakest IMO. her face looks terrible, she looks like a bootleg figure. the comic pack version of her with the 2 air troopers i always see hanging out at toys r us looks much better. Serpentor sucks at a close second, followed by flint................another figure that looks like a bootleg.

Xerofall,
with serpentors hat off he kinda looks like Shao Khan from the mortal kombat movie. i had no idea his helmet came off, i think it improves him slightly.

am i the only one who likes Flint better than Duke? his web gear's cooler and Dukes face sculpt was kind of 'pudgy' ~ Flint looks tough-as-nails and the black shirt/camo pants action rocks.

I just hope they redo her in this line eventually.

I prefer Buzzer's regular chainsaw to that chainsaw gun with the original. The two piece crossbows made no sense to me either.

Gotta agree about the CGs face.

I can get Duke to hold the binoculars too, but he can't hold them in a way that looks like he's actually using them. However, Firefly can use them so they are now his.


I'll also add that Flash could have been much better. I don't like the plastic cord coming from his gun which doesn't want to bend to go into his backpack. Even if it would bend easily, it doesn't fit in the hole it is intended to go in (on mine at least) which isn't located where it is shown on the card art (on the bottom of his backpack).

I also think his armor/padding should have been a separate accessory like Beachhead's vest. I don't like how it looks being in two parts if his upper body is turned.

Serpentor, the Cobra Legions Storm Shadow and the comic pack versions of Duke, CC and Snake Eyes are all weak. I like all the rest of the figures, though.
