Thanks for the pics!
First, big concern over the hole in the back where backpacks are plugged into. The only photo that shows the back hole area is the one with the Paraviper.. where the hole cuts into the Cobra sigil. It's huge. If this is accurate for the actual hole, it would look like the new figures would not be compatible to the existing 25th line of packpacks.
What happened to Gung Ho? He's sooo short! Doesn't look right for a Marine figure to be so short.
That paraviper.. what happened to him? Big huge hose going to the guy's mouth? Is Cobra having financial difficulties that they can't get the paravipers with a cool helmet like before? The only thing I saw with the old helmet that they could do without is the silver lens. I think someone on JoeCustoms cut that lens out and it really improved the helmet. Else, can you imagine having to jump out of a plane with a huge hose stuck in your mouth?
Arctic Snake Eyes looks funny...
The Baroness has a big head.
The Doctor looks like Darth Vader from ROTJ.
The new vipers don't look like GI Joe. I'll get one to keep untouched, and any I get after would probably be for custom parts.
