Face plate. It is so cold and alien. You don't know whats behind that mask and when you stare into his faceplate, you see a reflection of yourself. Then you feel the knife.

Agreed.
I like the original 1983 faceplate look as well. For those of you who know his character from the 80s Marvel series, you know that he has plastic explosives built into the helmet that are designed to detonate if anyone tampers with his headgear. The cartoon version of CC's battle helmet contains stun gas that can incapacitate anyone who tries to get too close to him. This was revealed in "Cobra Stops The World." By episode's end, we see Duke trying to arrest Cobra Commander. Instead, CC responds by saying, "Fool, did you truly think that I am defenseless...." CC's mask then emits stun gas and temporarily knocks Duke out of the equation long enough for the Commander to escape with Destro. Here, scan to 9:10 of this video: Last edited by Bravestarr; 02-22-2009 at 06:19 AM.. |

Face plate. very ominous and mysterious. The hood looks cool and all but it doesn't have the same blank look the helmet possesses which lends it an erie quality. A stiff breeze can blow the hood up Marilyn Monroe style and what good does that do his secret identity.

Battle armored, because armor is cool. Untill Tony Stark wants his tech back....
For the classic look, I generally preffer the helmet, to the hood. It just looks more ominous. |

Face Plate - for all the reasons already mentioned. I love the hooded look, but to me that was always a part of a ceremonial outfit.
From a figure perspective, I never had the 82 face plate version as a kid (my best friend did), which made it that much more desirable. I had the hooded version and the 87 battle gear ones, but I always wanted the original one. That's probably why I'm a completist collector of CC (and Destro - same story there, had the 88 v2 but not v1). |
