First of all let me apologise for the picture back drop, there is no Light Box at the Gouki Fortress of Solitude.
Now then picked up this gem at TRU tonight and Wow am I glad I did. I almost passed on it as my default CC has been the DVD one with the Parachute (that I removed) but this one blows it out of the water! First of all NO MORE CHICKEN LEGS! These legs are awesome! they are bulky enough but not too bulky. Next the Plastic Quality. That was one of the first questions I got because of how asstastic the earlier waves plastic was. This is back to POC/30th Quality! Speaking of Quality. ARTICULATION!!!!!! Yes He has POC/30th Articulation including Double jointed Knees, and Ankle Articulation I was SHOCKED to see in a Cobra Commander Figure Look for yourself! The Gun is an all new mold based on his Classic Hairdryer Laser Pistol, nut more streamlined as it does not need to snap into his back any more. The Second head is a SPOT ON recreation of his classic Hooded look from the Comics (Especially the newed Hama IDW stuff) HE COMES WITH A STAND!!!!! It's an all black version of the onf from the earlier Box Set. I would have prefered a 25-30th style stand but hey it's a stand, it shows that Hasbro is listening! The "FANG" is surprisingly a fun little thing and NOT 25th Swamp Skier 2.0 thankfully, however it does have it's flaws. The "Bomb" just rattles around in it's compartment and the action on the blades is too tight, you get 1 turn per push with no freewheel so to speak. So you get how far it turns with the push and nothing more. All in all it's EXCELLENT! and a great go to CC. I know it is mine now (Might put the Hooded head on another CC though. Group Shot Helmet for Comparison Group Shot RagHead for Comparison 25th DVD Pack CC and Ultimate (I do believe that the Head and Helmet are the same mold as well as the POC one, just minus the chrome) 25th Body, New RagHead Resolute with New RagHead

Thanks for the review and pics.
My only concern is the visibility of the foot/ankle construction. Can't wait for my full order to enter my Pile o' Loot. |

Correction He does come with a knife for the Sheath (and a second Bomb that makes things better in the "FANG's" Bomb Bay work better. I was in such a hurry I missed them in the tray.

Whoa, have I been Rip Van Winkling it? I was camping for two days, and now I hear the ultimate wave has made it's way to TRU?! I thought the wave got pushed back to August? What did I miss?
