I only have Duke so far, but he's awesome. I think I might use him as Short Fuse if I can't get more of them.

Judging from the pictures, I'd say that the Cobra Commander is worst of the bunch, but I'll still buy him if I get the chance.

The Cobra officer really resonates with me. I never liked the blue shirts much, but when it's all black, it just looks cool!

The Cobra commander is the least appealing to me. Looks like every other CC. I'm with khill, the Retaliation one is more cool.

I'm lovin the SS, Trooper and Shipwreck, not really feeling the Duke or CC and the SE is ok.

My favourite is Storm Shadow cause that Storm Shadow was my favourite one as a kid in terms of how he looked. It was ruined by the ninja spring action. Now I can finally have one similar to it but with super articulation.

Least favourite would be CC. However, I already have plans to make him look better but I need to get a hold of one first though.

I do like the Snake Eyes as I remember having that version as a kid, but I just don't really like how the head sculpt looks on the DG one. I finally figured out that the reason is that there is no goggle frame.

Cobra trooper is my favorite. Snake eyes is my least favorite; not because he's a bad figure. I'm mainly a cobra collector, and the Duke and Shipwreck figures make good army and navy troop builders. SE is just the odd man out. As a cobra collector, I don't need another SE thinning out my blueshirts.

The whole set is worth the price tag... Snake Eyes is the favorite and barely edges out Storm Shadow for me. I pray that they will expand on these.

favorite- cobra officer, many reasons
least- shipwreck/duke, flip a coin they both suck equally

love em all but snake eyes seem alittle off to me, like he's a ninja b.a.t. and not snake.

It is hard to rate them, but here are my thoughts:

Trooper: Very nice, could've used a pistol or knife to fill one of the holsters.

Duke: Lets be honest here, this is the Short Fuze we should have gotten in the 25th line. Only real issue is the pistol is very loose in both holsters (but stays in the boot if put in backwards).

Shipwreck: Only problem is the long neck, otherwise great Devil's Due Shippy. I skipped Renegades Duke, so I now have a copy of that pistol in my collection. Looking forward to the green one.

Cobra Commander: Needed the newer hooded head if possible, and I'd really prefer the Cobra symbol on the chest (which was technically impossible on the Talking/BC figure due to the strap being molded on). Still very nice figure, with the perfect amount of accessories. The repaint will need black boots and gloves.

Stormy: good, but like the Renegades/30th version, I have trouble making him stand in a decent pose without his battle stand. It is nice to have an articulated version of this uniform though.

Snake-Eyes: Least favorite of the bunch, but still acceptable. The vest makes him look fat, head is so-so, and he really needs an uzi or pistol or something (he is currently borrowing POC Lowlight's uzi). Kinda interested in the green repaint, since I skipped the Heavy Assault pack from a few years ago.

Storm Shadow is great. Shipwreck is great. The rest are cool. With most you need to dig deep and add some spare accessories. CC is the only one I passed on. Didn't do anything for me. These make for a great little wave though.

^As per the above, I have no issues getting Storm Shadow to stand.

I'm not impressed with any of them. They're all incredibly overrated. If Hasbro put a figure out that looked like Firefly v.2 in the Retaliation line, they'd get smeared for it. But if it showed up on an Arashikage card (see, they got a total pass for that, yet ripped for the Retaliation cards), it would be the greatest thing ever. They're updated versions of some of the worst looks ever for those characters.

Impulse buy. Like a moth to a flame. I sold him to another tanker. I'm still looking for another one, so I can hook up a UK tanker.

Well...I only have the Black Cobra Trooper, so I gotta say him. But, I'm pretty darn sure that even if I had 'em all I'd still say the same thing.

All of them are great figures, probably CC is my favorite after some touchups with a silver sharpie

Favorite would be Duke, CC and Cobra Trooper
Least favorite Storm shadow (sorry yall)

07GT500 COBRA

Favorite is the Cobra trooper followed by Duke and Shipwreck.

Least is probably a tie between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. The Cobra Commander is meh to okay.

Tie between SE and SS, but since I can only pick one, SE because he's so close to the original. They did a great job on him

Least favorite, probably CC, but that's nit picking. I really like all of them. And I like the variants even more :)

Favorite: Storm Shadow.

Least Favorite: Snake Eyes. The v3 SE body isn't that great to be so overused.

Favorite - Shipwreck. Finally a Shipwreck thats 'normal'. The ROC one was close but this one got it right.
Least Favorite - Snake-eyes, I can't stand his small cabeza, and with that bulky webgear on it looks even smaller.

05-29-2012, 09:45 PM
Snake Eye because it is SE. Shipwreck is my least favorite.

Where's the selection for "I'll let you know if I ever find them"?

Exactly some of us don't have dollar general or even know what that is.

Hopefully I'll be able to join the discussion, if 1 of the 1,000,000 DG's I've asked to order me a case comes through.

Dang! I should have made the "I'll let you know once I actually find some" option in the poll.

That's where I am, since I am up in Canada. I have to rely on the help and kindness of my American brethern to snag these bad boys. Currently, I have a Shippy, thanks to another tanker.

Best: Cobra Trooper, I want as many as I can find.
Worst: Shipwreck, his neck just really bothers me, but still think this figure is awesome overall.

Cant wait for the Variants to hit and hope they do more of these in the future. Also I hope some more retail stores pick them up so everyone has access to these.

I loved the Duke figure. Those original styled attires really scream nostalgia to me. Very cool.

I am not a huge fan of the Commander.The missing paint apps are really detracting.
