I have, and they are pretty cool. Lanard has stepped up their game in past couple years as I had picked up Corps figures back then too. While they may not be up to recent JOE quality, these latest figures improve upon their last batch in much the same way 50th improved over 25th anniversary Joes.
Plus with Lanard picking up movie licenses, it shows their commitment to the military toy business taking the torch from JOE hiatus until the next movie or whenever Hasbro returns to general retail. Throughout the years they have continued to produce many quality figures, original characters stories, innovative vehicles, & cool playsets. And at cost effective price points. Truthfully barely no one else does anymore. Kudos Lanard!

And who needs all those guns? We griped about those weapon trees back in the battlecorps days. Accessories are nice but at 10-15 bucks per figure...come on |

A slighter higher grade DG line would probably be a perfect mass retail line for Joes. I have a box or two of the recent three packs and I don’t really know what to do with them. All those bits and bobs. So far they have stayed in the box.

It depends on what you consider quality. Yes Joes have all sorts of articulation and removable webgear. But for me that is not what I enjoy. I want a fun playable toy and that is what the corps is. The new figures are more exciting than anything Hasbro has put out in years. Just look at the head sculpt on Titan or Impact. And the price point is better than anything Joe had back in the 80s.

While the new male molds may not be ball jointed heads (while the new females did) for customizers, Corps characters are pretty cool and unique in their own right. Plus their price points easily make them feasible as customs to work on even if they lack certain joints.
