One of my biggest surprises was the Scarlett from the five pack. The range of motion her articulation allows is much greater than the crippled Duke, Cobra Troopers and most of the other guys. She's one of the few figures who can hold a rifle against her shoulder and still peer down the sights.

best surprise: breaker...the big head doesn't bother me, cool helmet and gum accessories make him stand out from the original 13

worst: roadblock v1, can't hold his gun, can't stand easily, falls all the time and tips over all my joes, lame

No, not lame... drunk!

As for me, Copperhead is my least favorite. Maybe because he broke on me when I took him out of the package, I don't know. That and his crappy Roadblock hands HAVE to go!

As for favorite, well there's so many actually. Viper definitely stands out there, as does Tomax/ Xamot, Hawk (wave 9) and BAT. I just wish they would have given the BAT a 2 peg stand.

I haven't gotten Snow Serpent or Bazooka yet, but they're coming in the mail today. I'll know then if I like them. From the pics I've seen, I'm sure I will.

BTW, do customs count? I've made quite a few that I like just as much as what Hasbro has put out. One day I'll take pics...

I think my biggest pleasant surprise was copperhead so far, he just looks so cool with his shiny black holster and the way he holds his assault rifle.

I think after that would be comic pack firefly with the coolest backpack ever.

fake ponytail guy is the commander,fred ends up with the armor after shooting the commander in the back.

Yes it is, but the "unmaskings" issue makes it clear that he does change his appearance slightly with the mustache and such, though not enough that the state trooper can't tell it matches his real driver's license.

maybe the drivers license is a fraud too?the confusing thing is,on the file card it reads that destro had the armor built,yet in the comic,it was good old fred who built it?

Hell yeah! I was just gonna post about him today. I resisted getting him at first too, and only got him because of the Doc stickers. Multiple sidearms are cool, plus the gum is one of those little details that pushes a figure from good into the realm of completely awesome.

That makes more sense. Why would CC trust Destro enough to build armor that probably has explosives built into the helmet?

All of Cobra Commander's outfits have c-4 in the helmet so that if someone tries to take it off it'll kill both of them.

Destro definitely didn't make it in the cartoon either, because the first time he wears it is before Destro rejoins his side.
