-------------cobra pack -------------
ripcord: horrible head choice and helmet on head slouches low on neck making him look like some kind of mutant. hose from mask goes out too far and looks like elephant trunk. CRAP. huge letdown. chuckles: horrible mainframe hands. hair looks ridiculous. recondo: hat doesnt stay on at all, duke arms appear to fall off easily. wetsuit: not that bad. outback: pretty good. zap: dislike the character but cant deny the sculpt is great. helmet is warped and looks stupid though. but WHY THE HELL IS HIS HEAD SO GREASY!?!?!!??! hit and run: ARRGHHHH hawk arms cant bend at elbows!!! makes him be stuck in lame pose and cant look cool climbin around. big let down. -------------cobra pack ------------- lamprey: badass figure easily the best of the bunch. mindbender: as gay as ever, head slightly deformed, chest straps pushed together in odd fashion... decent for mindbender. alley viper: backpack refuses to hold grappling hook gun. helmet very loose on head. cant hold guns. lame. but awesome. hmmm range viper: good figure. dislike the design but no complaints. strato viper: arrgh!! cant bend elbows!!!!! hit and run and strato viper were the two i wanted most and they SUCK!!!!!! i want my figures POSEABLE *&&(*%#(*&$##$*(*&(&!!!!!! night creeper: looks retarded with little space of silver between head wrap and chrome dome. big let down. arms are WAY TOO MUSCULAR. BAT: no complaints other than i have 7 of them already. damaged head paint application sucks. doesnt come with extra arms WTF. -------------verdict ------------- i got these from toy rocket for an amazing sum of money, then had to wait forever to get them as they screwed me around every possible way including denial of payment. i hate them and as samuel jackson once said "yes they deserve to die and i hope they burn in hell!" so after a tremendous amount of effort they sent my figures i had been waiting for almost half a year. to my amazement they look nothing like the ones pictured and the majority are crap. -------------DO NOT WANT------------- Recondo Zap Dr Mindbender Nightcreeper ill take 35 bucks for all of them shipping included if in the US. i paid alot for these sets and i am losing money. i hate you, toy rocket. and i am very disappointed in hasbro especially for hit and run, he looked great in the picture i saw when i preordered them.

Wow - shame to hear that these sets seem to suck. Another fellow tanker also said that the Joe set was a BIG letdown. But I really want these ... especially Hit & Run.

Next to the problem with most of them not being able to bend thier arms all the way, my biggest grip is those blasted rubber bands on the hands. I swear every single one of the figures in both Joe and Cobra packs I got that had rubber bands holding guns in thier hands is now ruined. Hell I have two Outbacks now, the other from the flak, that has ruined out of shape hands.
I also had the same warped helmet with Zap. I'm really getting disappointed with Hasbro's quality control. Mass device CC's head snapping off, dvd pack Serpentor's arm also snapping off. |

I'll agree with most of the points, I was a little annoyed at that as well. I fixed the Alley Viper BP with one of those little bands. The Hit & Run arms are crazy bad, but I managed to get him in a good pose where he doesn't look too bad.

** Sigh**
So are you folks saying I should PASS on these 2 sets?? I had planned on ordering them next month when I have enough ca$h in the toy budget. Knowing what you know now, would you buy them again??

I liked the sets but I do agree there are some issues with them.

Against my better judgement, I still plan on getting the Joe set at this point. I'll take my chances.
