JoeBattleLines forum member and moderator Sinchicken came through with a ton of Snake Eyes images when that figure hit, and now he’s started coming through on COBRA Commander pictures as well! He’s posted the images in this thread, but I’ve also mirrored them here, and will continue to do so as he adds more. A very cool looking figure.

The folks at Sideshow are evidently going to be very busy over the next year or two…along with revealing that they are working on Firefly and Beachhead in a Q & A a few days ago, another round of questions and answers comes through today, and Sideshow reveals that the COBRA Master of Disguise Zartan is on their short list! That will be one figure I MUST somehow save the cash for. Sideshow could do some amazing things…

As the fantastic new 12″ COBRA Commanders are trickling in, expect more and more links to some thoughts around the web as I gather what public opinion is on these before deciding if I’m going to pull the trigger myself. :shifty:
The first review comes to HissTank.com courtosy of member vadersquest. Check out the review here.
My first thought? A nice figure…the plastic hood looks a bit funky, but I’m not sure how they could do it any other way and still retain some dramatic effect. A cloth hood would look sorta ridiculous. Love the weapons, love the trenchcoat… really liking the looks of it from afar.
We all knew the day was coming, and it looks like it has arrived. The cool as hell looking Sideshow 12″ COBRA Commander is hitting mailboxes and looking AWESOME. Very pricey, yes, but if he’s close to as awesome as the Snake Eyes was, then I think we’re in for some treats now and in the future. If you ordered him, keep your eyes out for the mailman!
Sideshow Collectibles has posted their latest Q & A, and among the questions asked was the following:
“Is there any chance that Beachhead and Firefly can be made for the G.I. Joe series?”
“Yes! Both Beachhead and Firefly are currently in development for our G.I. Joe line.”
Excellent news, in my opinion. Both of these characters are very well suited to the fully-equipped, “macked out” 12″ Sideshow style. Can’t wait to see ’em! Click here to check out the full Q & A. Big thanks to sinchicken from JoeBattleLines for the info!
Sideshow Collectibles has posted their latest installment of Sideshow TV, this time around focusing on their San Diego ComicCon exclusives. Of course included in these exclusives is the semi-revealed Crimson COBRA Commander, and this video gives us a great look at the complete figure. COBRA Commander appears at about the 7:00 minute mark and is one impressive looking entry into the exclusive field. As a straight-up repaint/rerelease of the standard version, I wasn’t all that impressed, but I gotta tell you he looks really striking in full on red and silver, and looks like he comes with a gorgeous cape instead of the trenchcoat. Dang. I wanted to not like this figure, but looking at this I just can’t help but love it (even if I won’t likely be dropping the massive coin for it). Obviously patterened after the Crimson Guard, COBRA Commander looks amazing, and Sideshow did a spectacular job taking a figure that normally I wouldn’t care less about and making it just a little bit painful that he’s an expensive SDCC Exclusive.
