COBRA ARCTIC ASSAULT SQUAD™

The COBRA® organization is building a deadly new weapon in the Arctic. To protect this devastating device, COBRA has created a highly trained arctic assault team. Sub-zero temperatures, raging blizzards, endless miles of barren ice and snow - this arctic squad has the specialized skills and sheer meanness to handle it all. The G.I. JOE® team is on its way to stop COBRA from completing the weapon. The heavily armed COBRA assault squad is ready for battle, and plans to put the G.I. JOE team on ice - forever!

This assortment includes the following figures:

COBRA DESERT ASSAULT SQUAD™

If the G.I. JOE® team thinks they're the only ones tough enough for the desert, then they'd better think again. COBRA® has trained a special desert assault squad that's meaner than a sack of scorpions and twice as deadly! G.I. JOE forces are on the way to take down this new threat. The COBRA team is ready for them with explosives, flamethrowers and plenty of troopers. Able to survive in the harshest deserts anywhere on Earth, this COBRA desert assault squad plans to bury the G.I. JOE team in the sand… for good!

This assortment includes the following figures:

MAJOR BLUDD™
COBRA OFFICER™
COBRA TROOPER™
COBRA TROOPER™
COBRA TROOPER™
CRIMSON GUARD®
CROCMASTER (unconfirmed)

Arrives October 2008

Both links didn't work for me. :confused:

Why would CrocMaster be in the desert troops? Not saying the original poster is wrong. Just saying that he would be better suited to a swamp team than a desert team. Maybe they should change his name to GilaMonsterMaster or something.

He's not in it. You get another Crimson Guard I believe.

What set does everyone like more?

I chose the desert set. I just like the colors and the changes they made to the figures. Plus, the Bludd figure is perfect.

If the artic set had 6 Snow Serpents and one Serpent Officer I would have bought that one too, but I don't care for the Vipers and I can wait for Scrap Iron to be repainted in his normal colors.

I love the sets to be completely honest. Its what I have always wanted figures that can be used in different invironments. Artic Snake Eyes is one of the best I have ever seen and I can't wait for the polar Tele-Viper

I love the arctic set and find it nessessary for my collection, but I had no use for the desert set. I base my collecting habits off mainly the cartoon, and in it the Cobras would wear special winter uniforms but would wear their originals in the desert. Because of this I was going to pass on it, but the more I look at it the more I love it. The desert colors are awesome!
