Cobra Sniper.....

[Buttmunch]

I just checked the tracking page and it says that the figure is on the truck for delivery.

I am particularly giddy because this is my first Joe figure.

Is it coming Fed Ex then? I thought UPS didn't deliever on Saturdays.

Oh yes...FedEx...I would not have it any other way.

About the figure.


Oh




My



God

I have to apoligize for the fast pics. I will get better ones up as soon as I am done loving on this figure. I have done only minor futzing on him. I filled his ass pack with cotton balls. Tightened up some straps. He is getting stripped in a minute to set all of his gear.

If I had bought the blue Cobra Troopers, I would have changed whatever needed to be changed to use these black ones as both, the basic ones...AND the Snipers. As it stands...when I troop-build the troopers, I will be getting extra black uniforms to use for them.

I think this is the sweetest military figure I have ever owned.

I tug on the straps and I don't feel that they are so fragile they will pull off.

This figure is 2 small details off of perfection in my mind. Working canteens and a bipod (sorta standard for sniper rifles, really., imo). And I will never miss those details.

My jones to go back and catch up on the G.I. Joe figures I have missed is boiling right now.

Sideshow...congratulations and thank you for an incredible figure.

I think I need a re-boot. Photobucket is lagging so hard I can't get to my album where I uploaded the pics and the SSF Gallery will not allow me to upload any files.

Pics in a minute.

Sounds great.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Let me get his gear set and I will get some more shots up.

The joints on this figure are so tight that one of the things I will be looking for is to see if this character was made on a Buck body.

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks good!

 

[Darth Cruel]

Here is another shot. I am having trouble getting a good shot as it is just too dark in my house at night. First thing in the AM I will take him out into the sun and get some really good HiRes shots.

 

[EVILFACE]

Futz him a bit.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Futz him a bit.

I actually did a little. But then I was messing around and trying a bunch of poses on him and messed him all up again.

Damn! I love this figure!

 

[King Darkness]

Thnx for the pix DC.

 

[Shai]

not bad at all.

 

[samueljd]

I'm still on the fence. He looks nice, but I'm not sure about picking up a black uniform variant.

Wow great pics. So glad I didn't cancel now. I almost did as I still haven't even opened the officier. Monday delivery, can't wait now.

 

[DeltaForceChung]

Thank you the pictures.

Maybe it's the photo's angle or lighting, but the dark BDU arm sleeves look a bit short compared to the COBRA Trooper?

 

[Darth Cruel]

I love this figure. And I actually prefer the black to the blue despite it's being inaccurate for the regular troops. Here are some more pics.

nice desert. it looks like Hoth outside my window.

 

[King Darkness]

Great shots DC

 

[Buttmunch]

That last shot is great! And it only proves to the nay-sayers about the black not being an accurate cobra trooper color. It is more functional though, even in that desert shot. Blue would be more noticeable.

I can't wait for this guy to get here. It will be fun to hide him somewhere in the display and see if anyone ever spots him.

 

[The Craw]

looks like another winner. personally i like to troop build better with these variants than to buy a whole bunch of regular troopers. the new accessories and sculpts help keep it interesting.

Doesn't matter. The original Cobra Trooper is blue. Case closed.
