ws_toys bucks the trend this week and instead of offering high quality loose samples, he’s giving us some Mint on Card action figure goodness! Upcoming The Rise of COBRA Cobra COMMANDER figure is on eBay right here! Not only is this a good chance to own this figure months ahead of time, but it gives us our first ever glimpse of how COBRA Commander is going to appear in the upcoming film! ws_toys has actually posted three MOC auctions, the links are below, with images below that.
HUGE thanks to cmderinchief of JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club for this information!!
Snake Eyes – looks great!
Storm Shadow – interesting look, I like it!
Cobra Commander – uhh… okay… what?
I’m probably the only one that feels this way, but I really dislike that Snake-Eyes. It is POWERFULLY bland. And overly superheroic in terms of chest definition.
Cobra Commander on the other hand… well, he’ll at least make a good ‘Lab-Viper’.
I have to say the one thing this version of CC has going for him is the addition of a trench coat. That’s the one feature I’ve been waiting for years for Hasbro to include with the Commander’s wardrobe and after the dozens of versions of him made over the last 8 years it’s about time. The biggest problem I have with this figure and most are having is the mask. Not only is it TOTALLY alien to anything COBRA Commander’s worn before but it’s also transparent. While I doubt many old school Joe fans will accept this new look for COBRA Commander I definitely see custom potential with this figure.
Mekk- Personally, I don’t find this mask, outside of the plexiglass construction, to be that far off from the Battle Armour CC’s. The details are different, yes… but it’s not that dissimilar.
Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow Looks Great and I’lL Be Tearing them Out of the Package if they ever Come to Canada. Cobra Commander on the Other Hand is Im Leaving Carded!!!
What are their scale?
