Yes, I like it too. This set is cool. Though I'm not too crazy about putting another blue CC in the other 3 pack with the Officer and Trooper.

What about Tomax & Xamot?



The red Cobra Commander is just horrible. This is the most egregious re-use of a mold so far in this line (even after seeing pictures of Wave 4 08). Who at Hasbro thinks we really need this many Cobra Commanders?

Why couldn't they have included a red Baroness instead? I'd even take the mold from the box set instead, hunchback and all.

Personally I just want two CG Officers to serve as bodyguards for a normal looking CC. I think the color distinctions makes them perfect for that role.

Same, I love the Red CC that came in the Imperial Procession set. This one of course looks better. I have to get an extra one to open just for that Commander.

On the other hand, Red CC is pretty much a 'perfect' base for a Tomax/Xamot head swap. Instant business attire! Kind of.

I love the set. Not thrilled with another CC but oh well.

I have to say, the most egregious reuse of a mold here has GOT to be in the other Cobra Senior Command 3 pack. Check out the CC in that pack... Are you kidding me? The only difference I see is the silver accent at the bottom of his jacket! Seriously? And this is right after they debut a CC repaint in Wave 8 with, wait for it, a white stripe!
Wow.

The officer looks a little weak imo, don't like the gold. Is the normal CG repainted differently? And for the record the blood red CC is badass. Just looks like the incarnation of Evil.

I read a post from someone who preferred a CG "V2"

Can anyone point me to a pic to show me what it looks like?
