"Revenge of Cobra" aired in September 1984 and featured months before their retail releases:
Snake-Eyes V2 Flint Lady Jaye Shipwreck Crimson Guard Flight Pod/Trubble Bubble The Dreadnoks Buzzer, Ripper and Torch The Dreadnoks appeared early in Marvel comic, too. Their swivel necks tell us they were designed earlier than the other 1985 basic figures, so that's probably a factor. Side note THE MASS DEVICE miniseries had early versions of the Rattler, Water Moccassin and Chameleon (both very briefly) and the Proto-SHARC that looked better than the toy.

True, plus the "blue Baroness", before she got her black leather makeover in the comics after she was burned.

I went to a brand new TRU on the morning of its second day of operation at some point in '85. Only 1 V2 SE and 2 V1 SS were left on the massively packed newly stocked shelves. I grabbed one of each and passed the second SS to a disappointing kid who missed out on a SE.
Having those two figures was epic! You didn't really need much else :p Of course since POTF2 came out, TRU (and other toys stores) employees have all been scalpers and hoarders so the above would never have happened. Kids, dreams, crushed. I'm looking at your RetroBlasting- you know you are guilty, dead guilty. E tu, Joefan82? Or maybe it was Michael Mercy? One of the two confessed to formerly being a TRU employee, you know, just so they could get the toys...
