On a side note. They should put this with another kitbashed character called "Komodo". I'd love to see a Cobra Jungle Pack. I hope we get one for PoC with a Jungle Viper, a Lamprey, Two Range vipers, and Shadow Tracker.

For a Troop Builder (i.e. box of figures with similar uniforms) store exclusive (i.e. nothing but repaints and resuses), this set is awesome. While there are some changes I would have made, over all for what it is, it's a great little set for an even better price. It's far better then the cobra set and much better then the last G.I. Joe Troop Builder set. The characters it comes with is great, as are the accessories they bring with them. A few minor changes are all a few of them need to be perfect, and since they come at such a low price, it's easy to make those changes.
For all the people complaining about Hasbro's "laziness" or how they keep giving us "crap", go look at how they were able to fit all those remaining Classic Joes into the internet exclusive Cobra Island packs, or how they're doing their best to squeeze resolute characters and designs into the movie line since Resolute couldn't get it's own toy line. Hasbro does try hard to please it's fans, and with a set like this they tried to throw in figures and accessories that otherwise would not have been made. Because if it wasn't for this set, none of those joes would have updated toys. They may not be the best figures in the world, but they're pretty decent modern movie representations of what those guys could look like. And yet they're still generic enough to be those background no name troops that fill the Joe ranks. Which is exactly was this set was aiming to do. |

I agree with this ^^^^
I just picked this pack up recently and opened it up tonight. I was really against it at first because nothing was ARAH and that is what I was hoping for. After opening it and doing a few head/part swaps, I really dig this set. I can see the ARAH influence in most of them and look at it like they are all just in desert camo. Still the same character under there. I may pick up another set to follow some of the custom recipes to make their ARAH counterparts. Awesome set.
