SSC Helmeted Cobra Commander

[Khev]

Its like the pictures are taken at different times in the months of production of the figure and then cobbled together for the reveal. WTF?!?

Agreed. Incomplete stitching, photoshop, apparently different figures from one photo to the next, and then no final pic showing the figure and all accessories laid out in front of it. Extremely poor Vader and CC reveals.

 

[Kibagami]

Yeah man! What's sideshow thinking! I think cobra commander should wear these instead of them nasty one piece boots!

Just in case you wanna cop 'em now, they're here at Cotswold. https://www.gijoeelite.com/f_itemPart.asp?strPart=GIDIDP-FU002

 

[Kibagami]

Hold up, hold up, hold up. HOLD UP!

I got a solution if you ain't feeling the commander's current outfit. I promise you. No shoddy tailoring around the arm pits.

BAM SON! **** just got real.

 

[EVILFACE]

Those are not what CC is wearing.

 

[King Darkness]

That's probably what he wears to dinner with the Baroness when Destro is away on business.

 

[Khev]

I found a couple options as well, depending on whether you prefer CC with or without the blue hood.

 

[King Darkness]

That's what he wears when he has to run to 7-2-11 to get milk.

I stopped reading the GI JOE comics in the late eighties. Was his Cobra Commanders face ever revealed?

 

[EVILFACE]

For figures, this was the closest.

The kewl 1991 figure had a unpainted face under the clear orange faceshield.

I wouldn't mind the Star Brigade style head being under SS's mask.

The comic showed him in a disguised face before being shot by Fred.

Yep, and I'd really like to see Sideshow release this version with alternate unmasked headsculpt.

That's what he rocks when he's doin' his 16 bar rhymes and flows. Cobra commander freestylin' MC.

 

[Wah]

ordered. needed a cc and this is the best available, so what else can ya do. now hoping securing a throne wont be too difficult.

 

[DeltaForceChung]

You mean the COBRA throne is no longer readily available from Sideshow?

They finally sold out?

Yeah, just checked. Gone. Went to www.echobasetoys.com. Gone too.

Amongst all the environments, I guess it was that better piece.

Looks to me like another (VADER!) shoddy job of prototype photography. Shoddy futzing, confusing pictures which look like different items, and a complete and total lack of consistency in what we are seeing. Just like Vader, another amateur outing by the photo/production team.

Completely agree... I really do think they are photos from different periods of time. Anyone's guess which you'll actually receive

 

[zeiss]

Based on the card art, the chrome/silver would be up for interpretation.

Looking at pics, this helmet/mask would work.

The flares curve and aren't Vaderish like the SS one.

This is how I wanted the visor and helmet to look.

The throne has been sold out from most retailers for a while since before december 2012. Still glad I picked one up last year for under retail.

Totally agree, and this is leaving them open to the criticism that probably doesn't reflect the actual product. Vader, CC, etc.

 

[BuddyGus]

Yeah, I feel like this was kind of a rushed product. Maybe because so many were chanting for a reveal (myself included). I think that whoever does SSCs photos really needs to up their game a bit though. Those pics are terrible. Except for the one of the Commander on the Throne, that pose rocks!
