Topic: More GI Joe POC (Wave 2) Reviewed

[zedhatch]

Another one I had on the backburner, but this time it was because these figures hit a bit faster than originally expected.  Been shuffling some stuff around to get this review out.

Jungle Viper, Destro, and Zartan are reviewed this time.

Enjoy

I've been seeing these around lately, and I have to say, they look pretty spectacular.  I haven't picked any up yet, but they will be nice for customs, that's for sure!

Custom potential is a good point, Destro could be a good base for echo base han (of course he is out so why bother right).

In some ways I think the Jungle Vipers are more SW than Joe, they just seem to fit the SW universe better.

I'd have to agree.  Then again, I could pick one of those up and a plain clothed human male and make the X-Force Archangel I want.  It'd be easier to just find the regular versions of Archangel, but that never happened around me anyway.  Found tons of the Death Mask Archangel, not one regular version.  I'm going to have to resort to Ebay I guess.

LOL I have been hunting the Death angel for hadies and ever.  The distro of MU just stinks.

junkle viper= awesome.  The figure is great, the accessories make it even better. 

destro= also a cool figure. But again, the accessories make him what he is.  The armored torso might make for interesting mando, or bounty hunter customs in the future.  He's got quite a large build to him, maybe even a new trandoshan custom?

zartan = one of the biggest let-downs of the line.  He's just not that interesting of a figure.  agian (this seems to be the routine for POC so far) the accessories that he comes with makes the figure what it is.  They are excellent, and the only reason I bought him.

Wait... there's other reasons to buy Joes???

The Hasbro rep was flabbergasted when I told her quite a few of us felt "the Joes line has been the best thing to happen to the SW line in ages!"

hahaha... obviously they havn't been watching customs forums....

Nabbed 2x Recondos, a Jungle Viper, and a Zartan last night.  Looked like they had 2 of everything, but I was already into $45, given my two SW figs.  The hunchback pose sucks, imo.  Why are they doing that?  Anyway, we passed on Dusty and the super-ninja-weapons Snake Eyes (since I have FIVE of them coming from Tunghori).  Neat-looking figures, but not what I needed right now.  Might should have gotten the other Jungle Viper.....
