The gentlemen over at ToyNewsInternational have debuted close up press pictures of the new Resolute boxed set! When this was first announced, just the listing of the name made me shake my head a bit. Honestly? Another Duke? Another COBRA Commander and COBRA Trooper? The idea of the COBRA Officer at least had me excited…
When pictures were first shown, I was very disappointed. Not much in the way of new tooling, and we weren’t even getting a standard Officer, just some red-garbed guy who looked a lot like the red-garbed Trooper in the same set. What the heck was this?
