It’s becoming almost a daily occurrence, and ACToys.com comes through again. This time around, we’ve got some very cool pictures of the upcoming Dr. Mindbender and Strato-Viper, errr… “Air-Viper”, both from the Defense of COBRA Island 7-Pack. The more pictures I see of these items, the more fired up I get…these are some damn cool looking figures. Considering there is a lot of existing tooling being used, I can’t help but really smile at the mileage Hasbro’s getting out of it, and at the same time, be a bit melancholy that we’re not still going full steam ahead with non-movie product.
Don’t get me wrong, though, the movie stuff is looking pretty freaking sweet as well, but there’s something to be said for a bare-chested ex-dentist who now specializes in mind control. And fans are bitching about the MOVIE’S wayout concepts? Yeeeeeah…. anyway, images are mirrored below.
no images were found
Lol.

The original Toy Fair shots of Mindbender had him with different legs, didn’t they?
The CG legs are a touch lither than I would have preferred.
I love the Mindbender figure. I would love a 25th rendition of the Lab coat Mindbender, but this guy looks nice. He is probably the only guy I’m really looking forward to from the cobra set.
I like how the ” Air-Viper” (new name must mean it’s not a repaint/hash of the same figure but a completely new Cobra unit, insert eye roll here) looks like he is running away from a shirtless guy “parading” around Cobra HQ with some large unknown instrument. 😀
