Ok this is kinda in response to what I'm seeing with the "Is Croc-Master a Dreadnok".
I think Croc-Master was awesome, the figure was/is really cool because it was so different. I dug the fact that he ws responsible for safe guarding all the canals on the island, and lets face it his weapon of choice is a large reptile. Story wise he was pretty cool too...stood with Serpentor and was killed for it. Then (this may be version 2 or before his execution) he backed the Joes with the assualt on Cobra Island. Second guy..Ok, Raptor..I think he is really cool too..I just dont know if his birds are that effective as a weapon. Overall though, totally dig the charecter and REALLY wished he would have been 25th'd. A disgruntled yuppi accountant takes up falconry and joins Cobra. I remember CC referring to him as "the man in the bird suit". He is another that was killed in battle. I guess I was a Marvel fan before I was Joe fan..Spider-Man might have a year on Joe in my childhood and can you say in all honesty that you couldnt see Raptor gliding around buildings in NY while having Falcons ruin Spideys day? (instead he ruined GI Joes!) Big Boa...I thought it was awesome that Cobra had a personal trainer from hell, I just never understood the head gear..but yea, another one that was out there that I liked. I like these guys because they were different. I think having charecters like this adds to the depth of the Joe universe. Any toyline or comic book creation could take the easy way and just storyline some military based charecters. Its GI Joe that had, Croc Master, Toxo Vipers, A Ninja that never uses guns and wears white regardless of situation, a master of disguise who hangs out in the swamp yet hates sunlight. See what I'm getting at here?? GI Joe was yes, a team of military specialists. But the story was so much more then that..I say thanks for Raptor, Road Pig and Toxo...now please re-release them!! |

I actually loved those three, and remember playing with those cobras the most as a kid. I can't wait for a 25th big boa and raptor.

I remember as a kid I used to try to hide my Croc Master so I could find him later and be surprised. Never really worked though, because if I liked to play with him, I never would have hid him.
Now though, I kinda like him. |

agree with the first poster loved all 4 of those characters and Cesspool also. I think they fit in way better then the Maximals which is where my interest and aga started to take me away from the Joe verse

I think by looks alone you have to group Mindbender in with the Cobra circus act. Put a top hat on him and he is the ring master.
