The most recent Gijoe Collectors Club Magazine has an article on Cobra La and it mentions concept art for modernized versions of Cobra La. I grew up during the Gijoe the Movie era and would love to see a Golobulus, Pythona, and Royal Guard. I envision a Collectors Club convention set with the Royal Guard coming as a troop builder in 2 colors and maybe 2 or 3 joes or even a Cobra Commander with grotesque face. Eventually the club will run out of concepts like Night Force and this might become viable. I know Golobulus would require lots of tooling but I would love to have one. What do you think???

They have basically said, "no" a few times. Usually when discussing Pythona - and she would be a pretty easy repaint. At least on one hand, that shows that they want to do such a figure right. Ratfink makes an amazing Golobulus with the pod and it looks awesome. I just don't see the club making anything like that anytime soon. The Royal Guard could be epically bad if they didn't do a lot of new tooling. The best versions use Star Wars parts - something I don't see Hasbro letting the club do.
I think this one is going to have to wait on Hasbro getting on board to make an awesome set.

Maybe in 2017 to capitalize on the 30th anniversary of the movie the club will do it for the con set...but I'm guessing since they glossed over the 25th anniversary they won't do much for the 30th.
I'd love to see a whole con devoted to celebrating the '87 movie. Bring in some of the voice actors (Don Johnson!). I think it could be fun. |

As much as Im not a huge fan of the movie now. I was as a kid. Nemesis Enforcer and Sgt.Slaughter went with me everywhere. I'd Love LOOOOOOVE too see them re-release the 3 pack with modern figures.
Ratfink also makes a badass Cobra La Guard as well. |

I'm all for getting modern era Cobra-La figures, but not by the club. Cobra-La figures need to be more than new head sculpts on re-painted/kit-bashed bodies.

I'd like to see them turn it into a more POC style realistic extremist branch of cobra. A little like Al Qaeda is in contrast to hamass. Like one's really bad, but the other is even worse, unwilling to acknowledge defeat and ultra fanatic.
Based on Ratfinks design I could see the use of POC recondo legs, comic pack resolute destro's feet, a retooled retaliation joe trooper gasmask, retooled neo-viper vests/tornado kick SE's armor, glider from resolute SE/ wing pack from skydive and ROC viper commando arms. But hey... that's just me. Oh almost forgot about Serpentor's belt with waist & leg guards

Hi all, I'm new to the Hisstank boards.
I've wanted a Pythona figure 26 years. I'd love to see a Cobra La set that included her. I've never understood why Hasbro has refused to make her for so long. |

You don't have to ask me twice. Definitely want Cobra-La. I do think it's on Hasbro's radar. They showed sketches of the main characters as part of the concept case. I *think* I'd prefer Hasbro to do it, in part because the club con sets are pricey. But Hasbro f'd up the Renegades in the 7-packs, so maybe the club would be the wiser choice. All I know is, this is the pack we need:
Golobulus Pythona with black cape Royal guard x 2 Sunbow Serpentor Cobra-La scientist (pre-Cobra Commander) Mutated Cobra Commander I actually like the NE we got, so we don't need a new one. Then, give us a Rawhides/Movie 7-pack with: A new Falcon in original colors ARAH-style Jinx with unmasked head Movie colors Chuckles Big Lob Red Dog (ARAH or movie accurate -- Taurus and Mercer are passable) Roadblock, v2 style, with new head sculpt and coiled snake Cobra Commander from concept case Sunbow Duke with PoC quality -- collectors still need a really solid 25th-style Duke -or- Dial-Tone in snow coat to give everyone another shot at D-T And reuse some of the MASS Device to make a collect-n-connect BET. That would be sweet! The movie was 1987, so technically, they could still make it happen as an anniversary thing. If only the Joe movie got the same recognition that The Transformers movie did. :/ |
