So what do you guys think of that Arabian style Storm Shadow?
I'm thinking new character. Is there any form of Arabian martial arts or something that he could be a practioner of?

Yeah alot of disappointment for me as well. I was hoping a kick ass Gung-Ho with Roadblock mold would be in that set. Stalker is a surprise. I'm disappointed with the Dreadlocks. Military standard does not allow for hair that long. He looks ok but arms are a little skinny. Flint looks good. How many times can they use those legs in one set? Scarlett looks Ugly.
The Cobra pack is pretty disappointing as well. Head Sculpts are terrible. I like Destro's body, but would swap the head. Maybe make a realistic Raptor or Crystal Ball. Firefly looks weak as well. Storm Sahdow nothing new. It sucks that POC will have many of the same characters with better molds. Sort of shooting themselves in the foot here. I think these 7 packs need to be army builder friendly. Whose going to army build those Alley Vipers? POC looks real good though. Alot of reuse in molds though, but most of the vehicle drivers are new characters which is a good move. Dusty looks great. Recondo looks great. Duke I like the original head we saw..(I called it Elias-Duke). I'm tired of all the Snake-Eyesese though. Convention Flint just looks lame. O-ring vs ME is sort of like Rotary phones vs Cell phones. (I hope those Red Shadows are going to be awesome.) I'm curious too Oliver about if this Flint will be Action Force Flint. Still I see myself renaming or head swapping a lot of Joes this year The new Convention Flint is not great looking. However, it is interesting that he has brown hair. This detail makes me think he's a little different. Every edition of Flint has always had black hair. This could very well be David Fairborne of Action Force. Interesting.

The on-floor Resolute pics look ALOT better then the stuff the Club showed. I think the Club was given some pre-release shots to post first, cause all the figures that the Club posted look bad compared to the actual high res shots.

Not that I know of, unless you consider the Thugee guards from Temple of Doom Arabian Ninjas.

Yeah, something about the lighting of those pics is bad. The Zartan looks really sweet. I also love the upside down knife sheaths on their vests.

And that carries over to City Strike Beachhead as well.
I'm really loving the detail on the tact vests on the PoC guys. LOVING the new Dusty.

Yeah the Dusty was an unexpected treat. Cool gear and accessories to boot. Still a bit bummed by the Jungle Duke. I guess the first one left a strong impression but he's still cool. Recondo might be my new favorite.

I guess I'm not seeing a major difference besides the head sculpt.
So now I get to rename: Jungle Duke, Siberian Duke, Resolute Stalker, PoC Dusty (I may rename the original as this one is just so kick-ass), PoC Recondo (Digger anyone, lol) and couple others.
