3.0 out of 5 stars You can't beat the Originals, February 13, 2008

This review is from: Hasbro GI Joe 25th Anniversary Cobra Villains 5-Pack (Toy)

I consider myself a G.I. Joe collector. I still have all of my Joes and vehicles from the 80's, and I collect the videos, comic books, and even the cheap G.I. Joe knock offs from India (the cheap knock-offs from India are quite close to the quality of the "new" joes).
The fact that Hasbro is re-releasing the original joes with the original cover art is quite pleasing (I'm sure that Hasbro is going for the nostolgic father market who are trying to find an excuse to buy joes again). What is NOT pleasing is the absolute lack of Quality control: I noticed that the paint was inconsistant and sloppy, the plastic cheap, and the figures far too fragile. I am also not a fan of the updated look to the figurines...some are decent and some are plain ridiculous and out of porportion.
Here is is an idea for Hasbro...use the same cover art, the same original characters, with the same molds and plastic.

These are nicer than the originals. They seem to be releasing the best characters. And they are coming exactly when i can give them to my son. I am not sure why hasbro ever abandoned this line. This was the best G I Joe series ever. It made G I Goe worth playing with and even enabled me to make many custom figures and cross play with Star Wars, although I am sure that is sacrilege for some more restrictive, less creative play hounds. I hope this series continues on and on.

These G.I Joe battle packs are great reimaginings of the original 80's designs that I remember so fondly from my childhood.They hold true to the character design while adding some modern detail and articulation. Particularly good are the Battle Pack Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. The details on these little guys is awesomeand the poseability of them is great. The hands do have some trouble gripping the accessories, so be aware of that but other than that concern I would say that this is a worth while purchase for any G.I Joe fan!
