Resolute Cobra Commander has the same hands we first saw on the "Pyramid of Darkness" CC (Arms have been the same since the 5 pack) and head from the "Best of" DVD pack CC. (No chrome this time) Everything else is brand new including the removable helmet. This Cobra Commander has a few general aspects similar to previous versions like the face plate, gloves and tunic. The rest of the new Resolute look for Cobra Commander reminds me of something from Roman times. This Cobra Commander has a very sinister Imperial type of look with a small removable cape that has a large Cobra Sigil pin and skirt that looks like the end of a long tunic. There is a sword scabbard attached to the belt that Cobra Commander's sword can be held in. Cobra Commander comes with a Pistol, removable Helmet, Sword, removable Cape and Cobra Stand.
Looks aside, there are some flaws here. While the cape and skirt gives Cobra Commander an awesome look, it also limits the arm and leg movement quite a bit. This makes the figure very pretty to look at but not very posable. Forget about having this Cobra Commander sit on a throne. I love the look of this figure a lot, but the posability issues do bring the grade down a little bit. Overall, this is a very impressive looking figure Figure Rating: 8 out of 10 Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:16 PM.. |

I suppose this figure should be judged on its' own merit but I really don't care to buy the Resolute figures as they don't seem to fit in with the retooled RAH characters. The Cobra helmets are too large, and the colors seem off as well. Not a bad figure in it's own right I suppose, but this figure along with the Cobra Trooper and the Resolute Duke are not going to be part of my legions.

Great figure, that is taken down a little by the lack of movement in the legs. Otherwise, it's a huge win. The look that they were going for is fantastic, and brings something more regal to the C.I.C. of the Cobra Forces. He doesn't look like someone who wants to terrorize the world, he looks like someone who wants to rule it! (And, for the record, put the DVD pack head on this to make it look even cooler!)

uhm.. They're not really supposed to fit with the retooled figures BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW FIGURES!! Why should they fit perfectly with the old figures? It's a new line. The colors should be different, the look should be different. Otherwise why bother making it at all? It's a new show, a new Joe, for a new generation. Whether they get used/displayed with the RAH figures is up to the buyer/collector, but they should be totaly and completely judged on their own merits and not in comparasion to the RAH figuers and whether they fit with them or not.

I love this Cobra Commander, best one yet. So far the Resolute line is all kinds of win and I can't wait to see what else is coming. BTW does anyone know when the show starts?
