SSC Helmeted Cobra Commander

[YT74]

No one was buying beforehand. You could find the V1 ex. for retail or sub-retail over the last 2-3 years. I think I paid $75 for the regular edition 3 or 4 years ago, and that was the going rate at the time. Just a figure no one cared for due to the decision to go with Devil's Due instead of the vintage look. I think the old hooded head sculpt is pretty damn good, though--much better than the new one here--and is the other salvageable piece from V1 apart from the gun. And the V1 gloves and boots are nice to use with other bashed figures, so overall the V1 is still a good figure to own IMO. I think that classic gun is essential. Much moreso than the extremely obscure ex. gun here.

The vintage laser pistol is the only thing it has going for it since this one comes with a better staff, though no blade in it.

The helmet is grear but personally id say the hood isnt as good as the V.1

 

[Racetrack]

Yeah, between this, Baroness, and StormShadow... theres plenty of awesome to ease the ******** I've had over Destro.

Throw in a SB bucket, a couple slaughter heads, a JUMP. yay 2K14.

Sorry but for someone who doesn't follow Joe's what was wrong with Destro?

The V1 is just horrible. It's an old figure and they have come a long way but also because it's not the classic look. The new hood is much nicer IMO but agree about the gun, wish it was included. Good luck to those selling theirs. I'm sure there are completists that would need it.

He's TOO MUCH of a Deviation from the Original character design for ALOT of people.

Much like the original Cobra Commander figure.

He's still pretty good, but most are hoping that he gets a reissue down the line with a more traditional look.

Its like flipping cable channels and coming across a old scene with shannon tweed in the shower. You stop to check her out and some dude gets in the shower and then the camera zooms in on his @$$.

Sideshow Destro is that @$$.

 

[MANDO]

Its definitely a shame this one doesn't come with the classic laser pistol. Especially when every Joe since Duke has included an XMLR for your parts bin.

 

[Ross SC]

Can someone not cast his lazer pistol?

 

[lerath666]

you could, but you'd get seriously shunned for it.

The regular edition came with the pistol, and soon people will be dropping that version like mad.

 

[snakeeyes171]

besides the pistol, uniform, maybe head the v1 is worthless now

 

[Kibagami]

Can't wait for in-hand production pictures. I forget that the pictures online are photo shopped.

If anyone thinks those hands are worthless, please send them to me.

 

[snakeeyes171]

CC hands work perfect for the Crimson Guard

Good idea sir. You got me thinking.

Im a big Bradstreet fan & really like his version of Cobra Commander.

I think you are in the minority my friend.

 

[Niltusk]

I like v1, just more excited about v2. Will probably use one with troopers and one with Destro and Baroness.

 

[Ross SC]

I think you are in the minority my friend.

Figured I would be! Really love his work is all.

I'm pretty sure he just meant theres alot of OG CC love. I definitely don't think you're in the minority for being a Bradstreet fan, I personally love his style, but (isn't there always one) my 80s love overrides.

At any rate if we couldn't have a straight up 80s version, Bradstreets is better than what some randoms may have come up with.

Bradstreet Punisher also rocks
