SSC Helmeted Cobra Commander

[Alpha Scale]

Nice. Just like a kid, couldn't wait to get him home. Hope nothing fell between the seats.

Lol I know. I actually picked him up from the FedEx depot on my way to work so I decided to make my co-worker Statiss jealous... He's also a collector on the forum...

Was setting my CC up on the Cobra Throne and tried to put the cape on him but it wouldn't stay on one side. Looked at the gold disks and saw that one of them didn't have the magnet! I don't know if it fell off when I took it out of the box or if it never had one attached. Trying to decide if I should go through the process of talking to Sideshow or if I should just find that size magnet somewhere and glue it on. Irritating not being able to pose it the way I want. This is the first issue I've had with a figure from Sideshow (which is probably very lucky considering some of the posts I've read on this forum) so I don't know if it's worth the trouble of asking Sideshow for a little magnet.

Yes it is a minor thing but you spent enough on him I would not hesitate to ask them for one.

SSC's customer support is generally pretty awesome. If you bought it from them directly I'd hit them up.

I may get in touch with them and see what they can do. If they send me one I can say, with complete certainty, that it will be the smallest thing I will have ever gotten in the mail.

They will send you a new cape and ask for a picture of your current one destroyed.

I just got a CC chrome dome sculpt and I gotta say, sideshow really cheated us (in my opinion). I was really let down to ind out that the sculpt itself is pretty much a black head shape (almost looks like a square to me) with a chrome shield in the front! Couldn't they have come up with something better than that?? I remember CC pretty much having an enclosed chrom mask with a helmet to top it off. This thing really looks lame (once again my opinion). Plus, why is it so damn huge?!
Okay, I acknowledge a lot of people here are plenty satisfied, but I'm almost dead sure they would be way more happy with a more cartoon type helmet/mask.
First release (as much as people dislike it) seemed to show some promise. This one had the chance to blow it out the water. While the costume does look good, they really dropped the ball with the sculpt.

Not "pretty much" what it is, that's exactly what it is. An enclosed chrome mask would have been infinitely better and would have cost nothing to do so. It's lazy and poorly designed. Typical of Sideshow though, one step forward, two steps back.

Clearly the cartoon version is what this figure was modeled after. Yet they left off the control box and stirrups. At least they didn't copy the silly jem topped cane.

Helmet sits closer and doesn't flare out like vader.

If you look at the original figure it does look like a chrome face plate that doesnt wrap the whole way round... but it still wraps round MORE than just the front! The blue under shirt is based on the cartoon too.

 

[King Darkness]

Given CC's anonymity and mystery about his identity, it seems absolutely asinine that Sideshow would present him with a "mask" that doesn't even cover his face ...WTF?!?

Nice job Sideshow.....

 

[Ross SC]

The helmet bothers me more... although im really happy with him in general... I still have that wolf brigade helmet but I dont want another project!

 

[EVILFACE]

I've had him displayed with the rag head since taking pics. Really like it.

Nice job Sideshow.....

Playtime's over, Sideshow.

 

[Ross SC]

the globe comes out of his hand pretty easily leaving only a small hole in the palm & then it makes a really good hand to rest on the cobra head on the arm of his throne... rests a lot nicer than his right claw hand... that hands still in stock on TA & cheap...
will post a pic later.

I agree and I think they dropped the ball on Both sculpts.

I dunno, I think he looks pretty fantastic. Mind you, I dislike the way the Batman PF turned out so just goes to show you that you can't please everyone. I REALLY like the Commander and Baroness 1/6 though. Thought they turned out great and the best Joe figures on the market by far imo.
