Yep. I saw these at Target, oddly Target had none of the figures I saw at Wal-mart earlier in the week (Desert Duke, Baroness, Destro etc). But they did have a bunch I hadn't seen before.
I picked through the figures and grabbed the couple I thought had promise. I left every "blue camo" Joe except the Pit Commando. The "blue camo" looks so dumb, doesn't blend in with anything and they all wear it, either on their shirts or pants. I wanted to get the General Hawk, but he's got damn blue pants! The Pit Commando is freaking awesome. For the gear. I'll keep the head and the gear and toss the body in a box. That's like a BBI kit worth of gear with that guy. The "Flash" is not Flash. No way, no how. I'm going to use it as some sort of Cobra Trooper, as it obviously looks like one. I really hate the "Vipers" for Rise of Cobra, their "Skull masks" look RETARDED in figure-form. However, the "Elite Vipers" are another story, a very smooth plain mask, and something akin to real body armor made me give this one a try. Finally, the Cobra "EEL". WTF? Where is the EEL I know and love? Well this one doesn't seem to bad actually, it's basically an Elite Viper in water form. I am going to open these up sometime today and take some more pictures... I feel so dirty. After opening them... The "Flash" figure is pretty decent, the weapons are total crap. Helmet is really neat, and the head is a good generic hooded figure. Rub the 'joe' logo off the left shoulder and you got instant cobra figure. Elite Viper KICKS ass. Comes with 2 neat sub machineguns, and a drop holster for his.. power-drill pistol. Also has a place in the backpack for his little axe thing. EEL is pretty cool too, lame weapons, but the figure construction is good. Pit Commando is pretty cool, lame blue camo, but comes with a boonie had (lame blue camo), silverish helmet w/ riot visor, gas mask, and black "Steel Brigade" helmet. Riot shield.. backpack.. combat vest.. and body armor w/ SAPI plates. Some decent guns too. Most, if not all, of the armor/vests are removable which is nice for customizing. Figure construction is pretty good, paint jobs are pretty decent and the stands are actually kinda cool. 2 pegs on all of them. Bigger pics and pictures of the back of the cards: Here.

Here you go, I did some gear swaps.. the EEL has some PIT Commando guns, and Flash has a pistol from the PIT Commando, as his guns are retarded looking.
I really like these figures actually. Damned if I do say so myself. I will be avoiding the "blue camo" Joes though, they don't blend in with anything. Added pics

Yeah Flash does NOT look like a joe, he has a new joe logo on his left arm, so I am hoping to rub it off. He makes a perfect COBRA.
And the accessories the PIT Commando come with are awesome
