Well as I went out hunting today and only found comic packs and 1 Bazooka, I thought to myself it was going to be hard as hell to find Bats and Snow Serpents. Then it hit me. Why was I going to get Python patrol Officer and build an army? I was going make Croc Master their squad leader. However when I looked at Copperhead I thought "well who is he going to lead?" And yeah I know the eels are coming but he Copperhead was never a naval officer. What's worst he doesn't match the Eels.
I think it would be a better idea to make an "Enforcers" squad comprised of Copperhead, Croc Master, Big Boa (when and if he is made), etc. I stick with blue shirt Cobra troopers and Vipers. |

I'm passing on anything that has to do with Python Patrol. I know PP has a special place in a lot of collector's hearts, but when you look at the mish-mash of colors that the orignal squad has... well, IMO, they're hideous. As it is, my Cobra Legions aren't going to have 45 different types of troopers - keep it simple, y'know.

You can't beat Cobra Troopers and Vipers.
The only odd thing I found with my Python Patrol Officer was that his neck was flesh tone, yet he had his scarf on. It just seems odd to not paint the neck the color of the scarf. And it's sad that my Python Patrol Officer has no Python Patrol Troopers to lead. |

I always thought the concept was OK, but the execution was horrible. That goes for PP and TF. I'll leave them for the next buyer (which it seems that all of the other buyers after me are doing the same thing).

...But that's how the old school ones were.
I guess I can take the yellow web gear from the extra Scarface officer I have, and put it on the Officer, so he actually resembles an Officer. But still, why release an Officer and no Troopers? WHY??!??!?!! |

I always disliked Python Patrol and don't have any of the 80's figures (although I thought the TRU pack from a few years ago was excellent), but decided to pick up a 25th Python Officer for completeness.
I liked him so much that I got another! I just consider them troops rather than officers, and may even add a third to my unit at some point.

My Cobra Legions goes as follows - Crimson Guards (elite), Cobra Officers (standard soldiers that can be used anywhere), Snow Serpents, Eels, BATs. Anyone else I would consider a specialized soldier, a la the ranks of Plague. |
