This is the first time im going to complain about the colors but DAMN that blue is bright on the accessories. The figure has some subdued painting so it's tremendously weird when that blue fire explodes from the helmet and harness.
No ankle articulation and no stand also hurts this figure for me. If anything ill get one from ebay from a lot or from some one selling a bunch of JOE figs for cheap. By the way, that rifle with the canister looks like a District 9 gun. Here, the "Gas Projector." Last edited by Crazy Legs; 04-06-2012 at 12:38 PM.. |

I got mine in the mail, and just to clarify, the figure is more of a light blue compared to the almost grey he looks on the screen. Yea the blue gear is really bright in person as others have mentioned, and the lack of ankle articulation really makes him harder to pose properly.
If you're not a completist, I would pass on this figure, unless you really want a working parachute (the parachute is actually pretty well designed IMO) |

I think I may spring for 4 of these guys, and just swap out the lower legs.

The 30th Cobra Trooper is in my opinion the best troop builder EVER. He is absolutely awesomeness in plastic form, which is probably why have more of him (121) than any other figure except the 25th BAT. The comparison makes the Retaliation version just look that much sadder. |

I have mixed feelings on this figure. It really does look like a Hiss tank driver. That color blue helmet looks doofy on that figure also the lack of adequate body armor is very annoying and the added lack of realistic weapons. I think even the ROC figures were better made despite some problems. The Vipers and Troopers from the Pursuit of Cobra line are by far the best Cobra soldiers around. The Renegade Cobra troopers/vipers really only work for security guards(which is what they are) and mainly non battlefield bases and look better once they're armed with real world assault rifles and submachine guns. The Renegade troopers could use a better paint job, darker blue fatigues and red chest cobra insignia.
I think this troopers some resemblence if you used the Renegades masked Cobra Trooper head on the regular Pursuit of Cobra Trooper's body, I think you get a better figure, even if you used the no mask face head on this body. You get the proper dark blue and a combat trooper. Last edited by CG82; 04-08-2012 at 04:17 PM.. |
