They could have done way better on this. Destro looks great in the movie, and even keeps his original mask. Why not Cobra Commander? |

the card art looks awesome, then i saw the toy and was confused.
i dont like the grey sleeveless trench over the black, especially with the blue inner lining. i love the head though. but im not sure how i feel about them revealing cobra commander's face like that... i think it takes away an important "faceless" element the commander had. "This is a TEST shot. You'll notice the carded Storm Shadow the seller has up still has the HM marking on it, meaning it's a test shot. So just maybe, so is this Cobra Commander. It really wouldn't surprise me if the final one had a silver painted mask with clear eye lenses and a black cloak instead of mismatched blue with black sleeves. just a thought..." |

I commented on this a few pages back. here's a copy/paste:

Factories have to get this figures made MONTHS in advance and it takes weeks just to get from China to the U.S. distributors, then weeks to get to stores. |

Nothing about this figure says Cobra Commander to me. It looks more like a lackey to me.

Hasbro makes test shots both carded and loose. I can't say that this is indeed the case, but it makes more sense than what we're seeing. |

I agree with The Commander...whats your reason for assuming it's a test, Mr Clean? |

Since it isn't an exact replication of one of the 42 different Cobra Commanders that have existed since 1982 (though admittedly only 9 or so "primary" designs with the rest being repaints/recolors of those designs), it must inherently suck.
Because it's not like they ever change Cobra Commander. No sir. Only the three or four or five times that they did. |

anyone remember an 80's movie called vindicator or the vindicator? it was about some scientist dude who got messed up in an explosion and had to wear this special suit to survive and when he flipped his mask up his face was all muscle tissue and eyes n stuff? thats EXACTLY!!! what this POS design looks like...only not NEAR as cool.just slap a chrome helmet over him and call it a day...this is tragically fail.
