ToyNewsI reports on a Target-exclusive G.I. Joe set called the "Ultimate Battle Pack," and I'll be damned if the name isn't startlingly accurate. Here's what's in it:
• Mobat Tank (motorized)
• Cobra Crimson H.I.S.S. Tank
• Cobra Commander's Personal Flight Pod
• Steeler
• Stalker w/Jet Pack
• Short Fuze
• Cobra Commander
• Destro
• H.I.S.S. Tank Driver
So three vehicles—one of 'em motorized—and six figures for...$50. That's pretty damned ultimate to me. It comes out in December; there are plenty of extra pics here if you need 'em.

I see seven figures! (I'm assuming the Cobra Trooper in black comes with the set, too...)

Haven't seen a pack that lived up to it's name in a long time :o

That is indeed ultimate. I guess they've paid for those molds 100 times over by this point, so they can afford to put them out at a relatively low price. I'm still going to hold out for realistic 6-inch figures. One of these days, hopefully by the time the movie comes out, Hasbro will listen to the 6-inch fans. But if it's just movie-style guys at that scale, I'll be ticked.

Damn, that is pretty ultimate. Although I'm assigning demerits for the presence of the personal flight pod and the lack of more H.I.S.S. tanks.
