IN case your wondering, the packs are as followed Snake eyes, Hawk, Ldy.Jaye,Shipwreck, Flint Cobra Commander (hood), Baroness, Viper, Zartan, Storm shadow. |

Depends on what you want. SE, Lady Jaye, and Shipwreck are pretty much the definative versions of the classic characters right now, but the Cobra set is the only place to get a really decent Baroness. Storm Shadow is a pretty good version as well.

Snake Eyes was my fav character as a kid, so I'd probably want the best version of him...

The Cobra pack you are referring to is actually the third one.
The Joe set is full of great updates (Hawk is the only redundant one). The Cobra one is really only worth it for the Viper and Baroness (I find all of the rest silly and useless-- SS is a good sculpt, but I hate the gray highlights).

The only packed I saw here decent to get is the Cobra Legion and the TRU exclusive Crimson Elite.

The Joe pack is great. As was stated, the only redundant figure is Hawk, and that's only because the single carded version is better. You get a great '85 style Snake Eyes, a perfect Shipwreck, a fantastic Lady Jaye, and a pretty nice Flint.
The Cobra pack has the fixed-arm, chrome faceplate Viper and the best Baroness in the 25th line. Other than that you get a decent Storm Shadow, a useless Cobra Commander and a stupid pink Zartan. I say go with the Joe pack. |

So far I think the vote definitely goes to Joe pack.
Although, I don't own any other joes than a 25th CC I got a while back. |

Here's my breakdown of the set:
JOE Snake eyes - Best V2 version in the 25th style, better than the "ultimate" Hall of Heroes version since the HoH one uses the wrong torso, New Timber Hawk - Pass, this is a lighter colored version of the single pack Ldy.Jaye - This one is the closest to the cartoon, has more articulation than any other LJ and a better spear Shipwreck - Looks more like the original toy, no odd proportions (IE: popeye arms, huge looking bellbottoms) New Polly Flint - New, more accurate torso unlike the "ultimate" HoH version which reuses Duke's torso COBRA Cobra Commander (hood) - Darker colors, new staff. Baroness - Best Baroness sculpt ever! Stand this one next to any other Baroness and they look like utter crap. Viper - Chrome Mask, Straight wrists, more paint details Zartan - Sorta Pass. Exactly like the single pack only in his "angry" color from the cartoon Storm shadow - Exactly like the HoH version only with a grey belt and grey boots For me, the Joe set has 4 must have "ultimate version" figures while the Cobra set has 1-2 must have figures (Baroness, maybe Viper) the rest are ok but there are better "Ultimate" versions out there Here's my more detailed reviews of these sets: G.I.
