I wish they would have included a baseball cap with a cobra symbol he could wear backwards.

So instead of making core characters everyone wants, like Firefly or Zartan, they take a cue from Hasbro and release a repaint. For a hundred dollars. So glad I don't collect dolls.

Well, look, I couldn't resist the SE...have one in the mail from a 3rd party...and I have Duke preordered. But I have to agree with you here, though not for the same reasons. If I'm going to drop 100 bucks on a toy/collector's item, it better be a core character from whatever universe. Firefly for $100? Sure. Zartan? Absolutely. Beachhead, Shipwreck or Flint? Yes, yes, and yes. But...Cobra Sniper....? Looks cool, but not $100 cool.

Thank you for understanding. I won't buy them, yet I do understand the draw of these. $100 for this, while cool, is way too much, and strikes me as little more than a quick cash grab from a company that makes tons of profit off these figures.

Looks cool but so far I have only gotten Snake Eyes and am planing to pick up Storm Shadow. Unless something else comes out like Firefly, I wont pick anything else up from Sideshow.

Hells yeah, placed an order, cancelled my Pre-order for the lame Officer for this guy! Wow he looks hella cool! Wish Sideshow would do 3 3/4 inch figs, would be a whole new world of awesome since they seem to know and want to make good figures, especially original ones like this one!....
