Doesn't capture the 3.75 guy IMO but I'm glad I got it since I'm a figure-only collector.

I wonder why they did the darker face instead of the lighter face for the Stinger driver? We got both with Tele viper, PP officer.

Yeah I was surprised they didn't give us a second head.

One dumb/minor complaint I have with the Stinger (maybe with the VAMP too I don't remember) is that the rockets have a logo on the right side of it on all four. My OCD wishes 2 had that and the other two had it on the left side of the rocket so that the logos all "face out".

Don't GET me started on the Pittsburg Steelers helmet logo. That thing makes me want to punch babies.

You play Snake-Eyes instead of Bond!

Joe has enough vehicles for a reskin of Command & Conquer Red Alert. Intersperse the game play with animated cut scenes that doesn?t take itself too seriously.

If you really really want it, you should buy at least one
at a premium.


With exclusives, it's never guarantee they'll arrive in large numbers
anywhere.

The pre-order version was 170-180 with some shipping deal.
But yep.

Absolutely. He needs to look just like the Mike Zeck cover.

I hate to say it but the Vamp is better. I am a Cobra guy but the roof interferes with the driver. The peg for the missile launcher is weak and falls of easy.

That being said, I love grey suited Cobra Troopers

If you're looking for an alternative, there's the lighter-skinned face that came with the first PP Officer. The mouthpiece is red w/the rest of the balaclava being black (it'll be under his helmet anyway).
