I found wave 5 today. I love Hawk. Great figure. Cobra Commander... not so much.
Made me wonder - in your opinion, what character has had alot of figures - but has never had a "home-run"? I think I'd vote Cobra Commander. For the supreme leader of a terrorist organization, he's never seemed very threatening. I like the hooded version better - but Hasbro seems scared of that nowadays. His ROC mask is just laughable. Poor guy... his minions at least seem like they might cause some harm... |

Yeah that's pretty much it for me as well.
The one that came with the Tiger Rat was pretty much the absolute worst 25th figure. The carded Wild Bill was just boring. I kinda wished they wouldve went with the latter version ARAH figure when he looked like he was in the Yankee/Civil War colors. I think that couldve been awesome. |

Dude was supposed to be the every soldier for the Joes and frankly all of his figures kinda sucked. Of course one could argue Duke, or Snake Eyes just because their are SOOOOOO many misses in the group but they must have got at least one of those right.... RIGHT?

I used to love this version of Grunt... If they ever remake him, I hope they base it on this version... |

I can think of a few...I haven't been real fond of any Ace figure. They've been decent but thats aout all. I agree on the Wild Bill aguement. I think the new Stalker is one of the best ones of him. Once agin many good ones but not a "home run". 25th Grunt was good I think but other than that ones and the first couple they weren't good. I think Duke and SE have had some excellent figures. Obviously wave 3 SE was superb and wave 1 Duke is a fave of mine. I just got tired of his tired old look and wave 1 was kind of oppisite of that. Oh well.
