The DVD “Battle Packs” – How do they measure up?

by | Sep 8, 2008 | 25th Battle Pack Reviews, G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Reviews, Sunbow

As I’ve already said countless times throughout this “Sunbow Weekend” I’ve always primarily been a comic book fan, and luckily for me, Hasbro has kind of catered to that.  Since 2004 we’ve been getting comic packs with comic exclusive deco’s and a few comic-specific characters (though not everyone we’re asking for like Billy, Kwinn or Dr. Venom….).  However, the cartoon faithful have kind of been left in a lurch, with no real way for them to get the characters and figure deco’s that they’ve been wanting…

…Until now.

Oh, Sh*t.

I couldn’t help it.  My three-year old was sitting right next to me and the comment received quite the dirty look from my wife, but thankfully little Megan was immersed enough in her Duplo blocks that she either didn’t hear it or didn’t care enough to repeat it (for once).

I already did the MASS Device yesterday.  Now we continue the celebration of the Sunbow cartoon (as well as the release of the DVD Battle Packs) by rolling my Top 5 Moments from the Revenge of COBRA.

In some ways better than the MASS Device (at least in my opinion), The Revenge of COBRA follows a nearly identical formula, yet adds some twists and turns.  New characters arrive, action sequences are ramped up.  It follows the tradition of the MASS Device perfectly.  But what are my Top 5 Moments?

A photographic emergency!

This isn’t something I normally do, but desperate times call for desperate measures.  My wife’s camera has died and we need to get a replacement, and QUICK.  As anyone who visits my site knows, I heavily rely on a camera for pictures, reviews, dio-stories…well, just about everything I can possibly do for the site I need a camera to do it.  And of course, I’m coming up on deadlines for finishing dio comics for the Collectors’ Club newsletter (not to mention Ghosts!)
