I'm just not looking forward to these. All my non collector friends who know I collect keep asking me if Im excited for the movie and the movie toys and I cant give them a straight answer (atleast not one that doesnt make me look like a tool). The vehicles almost all look like crap with the PIT being the biggest pile. Some of the individual figures look all right (Destro looks cool, and some of the others are not terrible) but the COBRA troopers are shit.

I agree about the regular Vipers.
I do like the grey/black/red MARS troopers. And the Ice Viper. I also like the Strato-Viper repaint with the Night Raven, the Motor-Viper, and the gunship pilot that (supposedly) is Firefly!? |

The only COBRA trooper from the movie line I like (not including the 25A/ME Strato-Viper) would be the Ice-Viper. I can see myself army building a small unit of these guys to add to my arctic legions. The rest however just seem flat. Their on-screen counterparts look great but Hasbro just failed to translate them to figure form right.

I like the movie troopers(Neo, Viper, Elite Viper, Mars) they are pretty awesome looking. But maybe I'm in the minority here.
I'm using them as mercs though. I don't think they really look like they belong in Cobra. Maybe Cobra-La or something else. But I understand why a lot of people don't like them. They look like sci fi rejects. Last edited by Zoltron; 04-04-2009 at 04:07 AM.. |

I think I am in the majority by saying all the movie toys are sick!
I want every figure especially the variant CC. Early Cobra troops with death skull masks are epic. It will be cool to see the figures evolve in each movie.

I think you are right, watching the troopers evolve over a span of movies would be very good.

I'm very disappointed with them as well. They look like space creatures, not a para-military organization. So far, out of the entire line, I only want the Motor-Viper and Destro. Even that Ice Viper isn't doing it for me. Even if the movie is great, I won't collect this line. They just do not fit with what I already have. I want more troops for my Cobra army, not an entire alternate reality. :-(

I'm not going to troop build the Movie Vipers, I just don't like the look. They'll end up being some kind of mercenary squad.

I am 50/50. I love the MARS troopers a lot (which look like they use the Resolute Cobra Trooper bodies). Most likely I will buy a few of the new troopers because in the end I can use them for my RPG and scare the crud out of my players!!
