My full review is up at jestergoblin.com/?p=1276 and it has photos that look pretty damn good if you ask me. General thoughts: Doom's cartoony but in a good way and matches the feel of the line better than the Castle version. Plus, I'm okay having multiple versions of Doom since we need Doombots! I wish he came without the sword though or if it were an accessory. B+ Reptil is a character I have no attachment to but he looks good. Solid sculpt, kind of a weird pose and his dinosaur parts seem generically dinosaury. C+ As a two-pack though, I can see this one being HUGE with kids. Doom's the big bad for the show and Reptil was made out of market research to appeal to boys.

I dont own that pack yet but review seem right on. I second these points: - Very cartoony Doom
- wish the sword was removable
- Reptil is a dumb character
- Will be a popular pack with kids

I knew this Doctor Doom was going into custom fodder as soon as a I knew he lifted from the cartoon. I prefer the Dooms Castle version. I wish the sword hand was articulated like the Star Wars Jedi so the sword could be moved into more versatile positions. I'm removing the cape and putting it on somebody to make Cloak as soon as I can. Repitl can be a reserve Avenger. I have no relationship to that character.

I'm a fan of this set if only because I love this doom. I thought the other dooms were far less threatening and I love the sword. I wasn't a fan of the position of the sword but after a cut rotation and glue I'm happy with the results, could they have been better, probably but I'm still happy.

I am currently now collecting both GI Joe Combat Heroes and SHS toy lines.
Reptil: Reptil has seen some ups and downs in the SHS line. The gem near his neck looks like it should be a necklace like in the SHS cartoon. No other major complaints about the character. A
Dr. Doom:
Dr. Doom has seen some improvements since its last release. Better face, better detail no major complaints. A+
