Cobra Sniper.....

[EVILFACE]

Wonder if this will be whats on the filecard.

Just as the venom of a cobra contains neurotoxins that are capable of killing a human with a single bite, Cobra Snipers are deadly with a single shot. One of the vilest individuals on earth, COBRA Commander rarely, if ever, negotiates his demands. Instead, he uses his elite unit of snipers to demonstrate the consequences of non-compliance. From concealed positions, COBRA Snipers take care of those unwilling to give in to COBRA Commander's demands or are simply in the way of a larger agenda. In addition to their extensive infantry training and natural born marksmanship capabilities, COBRA Snipers are specialists in camouflage, infiltration, observation and reconnaissance techniques. Employing these abilities, COBRA dispatches snipers across the globe to remind the nations of the world that their most important personnel are always within reach of COBRA's fangs. Time and time again, G.I. JOE has had to deal with COBRA Snipers on the battlefield. Above being an added annoyance and source of frustration, COBRA Snipers have hit their marks more times than the Joe's are willing to admit. While respected for their abilities, their cold-blooded selection of targets incenses many of the Joes and at the same time filling COBRA Commander's heart with delight. They have no remorse and the psychological training they received from COBRA has removed any trace of conscience that may have previously affected their loyalties. These individuals are simply an extension of the venom coursing in COBRA Commander's veins.......COBRA!

Easy pass. Maybe a rainy day purchase for cheap down the road. This pic reminds me of those videos of people improperly holding a rifle that recoils back and smacks them in the face.

The promo shots here are night and day better than the ones they took of Snake Eyes.

 

[Bloodsport]

at this point I guess we can forget about Destro and Zartan. Heck, I rather settle for another Snake Eyes figure since Hasbro does have different variantions of Snake Eyes. That I wont mind but this here. SS just making s>>> up as they go along with the line.

 

[King Darkness]

You whining babies just need to STFU, this figure rocks. Ordered of course!!

Its by selling figures like this that they will finance more newer characters with more design and development needed..Greg A. already said that they will produce 12'' Gi joe for many years to come..You'll get the ones you want eventually.Stop ^^^^^ing fags.

Bottomline, he is a trooper variant, but one that makes sence, and is different enough to stand out from the other troopers, not just a color swap like CCC.

 

[Malakite]

Well, damn it, I wished for a new Joe announcement, would have loved to hear some new character was coming, but hey, I'm glad since I didn't troop build with the normal trooper variant, I'll get this one for sure!

[EVILFACE]

Yea, and?

 

[DinoDB1975]

Ordered one. Not my first choice for another figure, of course, but the color looks cool and the sniper rifle is ace. I could see Firefly's night camo in the exact same shade with lighter grey as well.

Has Sideshow ever "re-released" figures in any line? Wonder if there's any chance that the collectible figures set to be announced could be a package of the Cobra Trooper, Cobra Officer, and Cobra Sniper, for those that missed out on the initial two and/or want to army build.

Not gonna happen.

 

[DPrime]

Looks cool, but kind of disappointing as well. I too would rather have had these Trooper variants spaced out a bit, but whatever. I preordered, but may cancel as there's no variant and I could probably get it shipped cheaper from a member here after its release, or on Ebay (I wish Sideshow would just use USPS to Canada...).

He'll look really good nestled in the Recon at Waypoint environment, with Snake Eyes sneaking up on him!

I've actually got a couple RAH figures very similar to this, I'll take some pics after work...

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

It looks cool enough, but these variants are getting a little bit out of hand. I still maintain that the Dragonov rifle should have been the exclusive for the regular trooper...

 

[AngryEwok]

Recoil is gonna take his eye out.

 

[creature4000]

Not really.. it has a soft eye protector on the end of the scope.

just sayin.

 

[the angry orc]

looks cool...trooper variants =

i don't think this guy will take anybody's release spot...i.e. zartan, firefly, etc.

 

[IrishJedi]

Recoil is gonna take his eye out.

It's a sniper rifle.

 

[maskfreak]

Cool looking sniper. I am going to save my money on this one to buy 2 Zartans when he comes out.......

 

[thenammagazine]

You do realize that this was just a fabrication for the 25th Anniversary like CCC, and has no foundation in Joe canon.

This is what you've been crying for since last Thursday.

 

[Skiman]

um.... no. He's the Cobra Sniper, not the Cobra magician.

I like this figure and ordered one

I have one ordered through Sideshow and plan to order one through my favorite ecommerce when he starts shipping.

You hypocrites owe an apology to everyone you ripped on for purchasing the CCC. Every reason you're giving for justifying the "Blackhole Cobra Trooper" is exactly what the fans of CCC were saying back when he was announced.
