Commander Kurgan is right, the radio should peg into the lower back of the vest. This guy appears to be a repaint of the Cobra Shock trooper from POC.

He would be a cool army builder figure for COBRA fans as part of their Crimson Guard or Iron Grenadiers.

The Dpci # is the actual item number in Target's system that they use to keep track of stock. It is also the item number that is on your receipt when you purchase an item there.
Most times, when they have an item in stock but it's not on the floor, you can tell an associate that you are looking for an item with this dcpi# and they will look it up and go in the back to get it for you. I say most times as you can come across a sales person who refuses to get it stating that they are not meant to be put out yet. That has happened to me more than once. Typically they don't care and will either meet you with the item or take it up to guest services to hold it for you for 24hrs.

the dpci# for these packs is 087-06-0317   this number covers these new packs as well as the ninja showdown packs from last year. in fact, as they look up the number in their system, it will come up as ninja showdown and that is what is wrote on the case of 4 3-packs as well. Keeping that in mind, you will have to tell them this when you ask them to produce it to make sure you are inquiring about the right 3 packs.

I really want this set for the Firefly, this looks like the best looking version of him since the comic pack one over five years ago but this time he has that classic look and the flaws with the arms appear fixed.  Thus he is high on my list of grabs.

Granted I don't want the RP Shock viper or another SS, but I may try to trade them off.

Cool reviews. 

Updates Mon-Fri every week, also reviews and much much more.

really great reviews...are there any street date restrictions on these? I want to visit my nearest target and check the dpci....but they've been pricks about going in the stock room and pull cases whenever I ask them.

sorry about that, you might mention that in the Target thread although I doubt that Target corporate has any lackies eyeing that thread.
The story I get is late this week or next week for these to hit the shelves which also goes for the single carded figures from waves 2-3

Can't wait to get my hands on those....

Thanks for the loose fig DCPI.  I'll try that one this week, if I don;t see any Joes out.
