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).

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... |

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.
