Well, here is the next review of the next repaint that I was able to get, Heavy Duty in dark Green and the Cobra C.L.A.W.S in darker set of colors.. As I did with other repaints, the Articulation, Sculpting, and Accessories remain the same as the original Heavy Duty VS Cobra C.L.A.W.S review, but Painting and Design will be redone. Read on to see if I liked this new look.

Painting and Design: Well, finally, Hasbro brought this set of figures up a notch. The cool Cobra C.L.A.W.S figure gets a great new look in more subdued colors - a dark green with some flat reds and gold as trim. Heavy Duty gets a little bit lighter shade of green for his uniform, and he looks SOOO much better now. The dark BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) looks better for him, suits him better. Now if he could have gotten a hat or a shaved head, and lost the rag on his head.... Still, the score here goes to a nine with their new looks.

Painting and Design - 9


Overall

With the repaints beginning to show up in small numbers, they are tough to get, but if you see this one, grab it!! The Heavy Duty is now better looking, and fits in better for the Joes. And the C.L.A.W.S figure really looks better as a Cobra trooper. I highly recommend this set to anyone.

Overall Rating : 7.875
