The Cobra 7-pack is cool, every figure is a winner. My one complaint is the quality of the plastic they used... with the exception of the B.A.T. figure, all the other figures seem to be made of much much softer plastic than the regular Modern Era/25th Anniversary figures or the RoC figures. Oh, and that goddamned heat-molded plastic packaging Hasbro likes to use with their box sets... it melted the plastic onto the vinyl cobra sigil printed on Dr. Mindbender's cape... it took some serious finagling to get the cape separated from the plastic packaging without damaging the sigil too much.
I'm a bit meh on the GI Joe 7-pack. Most of them are going to be taken apart and turned into custom fodder, and the only ones I'm keeping whole are Recondo (nice sculpt based on the classic figure, but the Duke arms are an almost-deal-breaker), Zap (ridiculous card art aside, it's an awesome figure), and Hit & Run (he's got next to useless elbow articulation -- he's got the dreaded 25th Anniversary Hawk arthritic elbows -- but everything else is a fairly solid and spot on update of the original, although I wish he came with a duffel bag instead of a standard backpack).
