I saw these at the store myself tonight. The bald guy in the blue outfit just sreally strikes me as having potential for a Bruce Willis custom of some kind.

I wish they would do something about those useless T-Crotches, this pack is an easy pass for me.

I want that Sky Raptor. That looks like it could be useful...

Awesome find. I love the corps and will have to keep an eye out.
I do hope we can eventually get these in 2 or 3 figure packs thoughp

Ask for a 3 pack and I show you a 3 pack (that's the new carry case and a new Villian)!!!!

Any chance of some shots of that 'new recruit' with the white/green torso please? He looks like something I could use in bulk.

The Sky Raptor has been on their website for almost two years.
I want it SOOO bad also, it has tons of potential by itselt, and also for parts on other customs.

Not exactly NEW, but Lanard is bringing a Better Helicopter (I think this is a old mold, but now it has the new CORPS logo). This one is battery operated, the Blades turn, and the guns light up and make sounds.

Hehe, that's a funny helicopter. The sad thing is, I could see a use for it as is. It could be setup like how the Blue Angles has a plane displayed on their sign. Some sort of stealth division that people know who they are and what they do. Or just a really weird landing strut.

I used it as a base for one of the Group Project vehicles.
took some work to get the base off, and I was never very satisfied with any of the skids or wheels I put on them. but overall I really like the sleek lines of the copter.

I dunno add a ladder and platform and it could be a flight simulator

Those heads are nice//Wonder how they will do on 25th bodies

They'd look fine if you cut the neck off and hollow out and area to pop the head ont he post. These figures have the the old style Star Wars side to side swivel with a neck post. But yeah customizing them isn't an issue at all. I've done a few Lanard heads and really some of them make for nice looking new characters.

I have a few of the older ones I just recently bought, and while the heads are a tad big, they work ok on larger framed bodies. These new ones seem to have smaller head sculpts though, which is cool since they might just work on a ton more of the current Joes, scale-wise.

It will a sad, sad world if the new Joes are even more cartoony than these Corps figs. :cry:

Here's another one that looks to be coming back.

(I actually bought one for a friend at the disney store when they had it for the buzz lightyear star command line).

Here's a pic of that Star Command set for those who may have missed it (I should have bought one to use as an arctic custom).

It was also sold thru SmallJoes. Supposedly found at KMart in some places as well. So all these observations your making ISN"T really NEW observations. Like everyone else has said....that Sky Raptor has been on their site for over 2 yrs now and no go......the red tank the same with NO GO.....So really your just getting your hopes up for a let down at the stores. A lot of people don't like them cause of the stupid T-Crotch they use.. They didn't listen to the fan base of the Joes.....at least Hasbro listened and bought the o-ring back if even for a little bit.
