Allrighty
Firefly:
I'm down with making an 'ultimate' Firefly from the 2 versions. not feeling the vest on him. Some folks mentioned it looked like Shockwave's, but i was thinking that might be a Viper preview. The backpack is amazing, can't believe they painted the clippers. More apropriate rifle too.
Storm Shadow:
Hrmm. do we really need a shirtless SS? however, one of my red Ninjas will be happy to take the sickle weapon, and you could take this versions lower legs and backpack and give it to the v2 Stormy to make him look more unique.
Copperhead:
nice, although his arms are a bit on the beefy side. Should have used Gung-Hos instead of Roadblocks. nice update overall, best of the wave as far as 'classic' versions are concerned.
Shipwreck:
Should have been Cutter. and his hat looks silly in blue.
Duke:
gets a bit of a WTF? from me. do we really need a "year 1" style Duke? So close to being Grunt, maybe a Flash head on there would do the trick if Grunt isn't announced soon. If we had to have another Duke, could have at least Done tiger Force Duke.
Red Star:
a nice update of the original (i would have subdued the blue down though, pretty bright in those photos. A perfect example though of an opportunity where they could have done one of the "Classic" Oktober Guard characters instead of one that's pretty damn obscure. (i do like obscure, don't get me wrong). I like him, just a weird choice to me. (maybe would have been less wierd in a 2 pack with a Classic O.G. and him, the story could have been his introduction to the team.)

I don't want new, I want vintage designs on a modern figure.
I'd guess that's the single packs, and the comic packs are going to 'expand' things a bit. i just still wish they'd spend more time on Comic Designs and characters that are a little less overexposed.

Duke + Storm Shadow = Snake-Eyes
lol
