Combat and Robot Heroes Holiday 2009 Pictures in the Gallery
Packaged pictures of the Combat Heroes (Conrad “Duke” Hauser, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes) and Robot Heroes (Optimus Prime, Starscream and Ironhide) 2009 Target holiday set are up at the gallery to tide you over until some better pictures can be taken.
Combat Heroes and Robot Heroes Target Holiday Sets
The Target holiday Combat Heroes and Robot Heroes sets are hitting stores now. I put up some quick cell phone pictures up over on the message board until they get to a better home. In the meantime, here’s a rundown of the changes I can see between them and the original figures:
Optimus Prime has silver antennae and looks to be a much brighter shade of blue
Ironhide: possibly a repaint of the Ironhide/Mixmaster figure, but not sure yet.
Starscream: Looks like the Springer/Starscream 2-pack figure but painted a little lighter.
Snake Eyes: Possibly a repaint of the Snake Eyes/Neo Viper figure?
Storm Shadow: a repaint of the Heavy Duty/Storm Shadow figure?
Conrad “Duke” Hauser: a blonder/lighter haired version of the Duke/Baroness 2-pack figure. Also, I think the green is a little lighter.
Edit: 9:30 a.m. 11/06/09 – I double checked the figures and realized that the glare from the pictures was making some black things look silver, so Ironhide and Snake Eyes are downgraded to potential repaints.
