I heard these 2pks were hitting close to home in Missouri this weekend and I trekked out to several Wal-Marts in search of them. I struck out nearly everywhere, but just when I thought it was safe to be disappointed, one Wal-Mart finally had them sitting on the shelf not too far from the rest of the Joe stuff. If you're looking for these, keep an eye out around the Joe area and check the pegs AND the shelves because the ones I found weren't hanging up.
I'll have my full review on my blog as usual ( http://www.itsalltrue.net/?p=1448 ) along with a few more pictures. But since my blog is only so wide, I kept some images bigger to load over here too. Overall, these are both pretty cool figures. I loved Shockwave as a kid and I'm happy get him in Night Force colors. I did cheat and gave him the Night Creeper's backpack. It does hold the knife like Shockwave's classic backpack did, but it's not as snug as I would like. The Night Creeper can tuck his sword ito his harness still, so it works out for both figures (if you love Night Creeper more and want him to keep his backpack, his sword does fit great). Both figures are repaints of their previous releases. Shockwave still comes with all of his 25th accessories but gets the rifle and knife this time around. Night Creeper sports Snake Eyes arms this time (the 7pk had Flint arms) and is an Urban Camo repaint of the 7pk Night Creeper. Nice touch by Hasbro to basically make an Urban Warfare 2pk out of these two repaints. The back story on the figures seems to be that it's possible the Night Creeper was causing some havoc during the missile strike and Shockblast was there to put the smack down. Pretty Cool.

Pretty cool, though I wish the holsters were slimmer, they're too boxy I think.

Got these figures last night. The Shockblast has a better paint scheme than the original as well as the Nightcreeper IMO. I really love the gas mask that comes with Shockblast (cause I still haven't found a Pit Commando). Nice review.

Thanks everybody! I finally got my full review and a couple different pictures added to the blog.
ItsAllTrueReview: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Offscreen Shockblast & Night Creeper It'sAllTrue.Net The camo is definitely more realistic on this one, and even though it's missing blue tones almost fits in with some of the ROC figures. I'm still partial to the yellow and blue on the classics and 25th figures though.

I kinda wanted Gung Ho, but I just didn't care for the Copperhead at all. Monkeywrench, and then Tunnel Rat are the same way.

I'm loving the Night Creeper as well as Copperhead (once I saw him in person) and Monkey Wrench as well. The remaining figs are up for sale at cost + shipping.
