Does anyone know if grunt has a backpack? Also, I do not see the stands... I hope they are included. IMO Grunt looks aweful, but he was my first Joe to get as a child... so I will be getting this set. Also, shouldn't Grunt come with an M16 and not the M203?

Hasbro,

Please fix the upcoming Grunt. The arms are aweful, use the same ones from Snake Eyes. Grunt never needed to shave, make him clean cut. Also, Grunt came with an M-16, not the M203. The Duke from the upcoming comic pack with the October Guard looks more like Grunt

Besides it is listed as "GI JOE Leadership Team" Not Evolution.

Ranks are different in GI Joe. Duke is second in command, but Ace is a higher rank than him. I didn't say it was "Evolution". I said that's what Hasbro called these sets when they first annonced them and since the "Evolution" name is already used in the Star Wars line, they had to call the packs something else. Like,"GI Joe Leadership Team". And the Cobra set is a Crimson Set, which make sense. Crimson Trooper, Crimson Officer, and Crimson Leader(CC in Red).

Right I understand that but your point is this is the rank evolution set that Hasbro announced correct? It makes sense the way you put it in real world military but in GI Joe it does't. Plus the package name is "GI Joe Leadership Team"

you can fix it yourself with a Flash head and any web gear. Just put both of them on the Duke from the October Guard two pack, paint Flash's hair and there you go

GI Joe doesn't follow traditional military practices. Look in DD Comic's Data Handbook which has the GI Joe rank structure. GI Joe command structure is seperate from the normal military rank structure and they have both structures listed. Duke is second in command, but their are plenty of others who out rank him, Flint, Ace, Lt. Falcon, Admiral Keel Haul...

my point exactly. This is a "leadership team" of "senior ranking officers" and you have the number 1 and two in command with (by everything I've seen) close to the bottom of the line. This makes no sense at all with the name given. It makes little sense as an evolution type set.

Exactly "team leaders" in the early years. Hawk is just a Colonel and after that all the other Joes are lower enlisted (Grunt). Then Duke comes, a Senior Enlisted soldier. So you have a Lower Enlisted(Grunt) Senior Enlisted(Duke) and then Hawk, a 'evolution' of the teams leaders. Makes perfect sense. The military has 3 levels of rank, Lower Enlisted, NCO, and Officer and they're all represented in the set.

i'm just thankful that we got a grunt.he was pretty plain as a kid,but the comics really told his story wonderfully detailed.

i have been wanting the original 13 since this line started.now the fans are one step closer.

God Bless,
JC
