The guys at The Terror Drome are continuing their great “Pictorial Reviews” this time tackling the very recently released Senior Ranking Officer 3-Packs, exclusive to Toys “R” Us. These sets each have their own unique identity with some pluses and minuses…personally, I really like the green camouflage redeco of Sgt. Stone, and I like Speed Metal as well, even if he is just a minor repaint and head swap. Love the Destro in the COBRA pack as well, very reminiscent of his video game appearence, which is great.
Anyway, you can check out the Joe review here, and the COBRA one here. Images are hosted below.

I think the Elite Viper looks a little better with the paint application on the head. The straight black head of the single pack version almost looks like they forgot to paint it.
Oh, one other thing. I hope Hasbro cuts it out with using those Zartan arms with the MP badge on them. I can’t tell but it looks like they didn’t paint MP on Grunt’s arm, but it’s still getting a little old seeing so many sculpts with those arms. At least it makes sense on Law, but Grunt?
So Heavy Metal becomes Speed Metal – wasn’t “Sherman Guderian” Heavy Metal’s name? I guess music styles can change!
The Joe set looks pretty cool. Sgt Stone is bound for a head swap w/ Resolute Duke.
