Yeah, so I bought the new 50th 3 pack chase for mass device, and the paint jobs are fantastic on mine. I think they updated something or their quality checking is better on these.
But then I got to cobra commander, he looks fabulous, so I try to bend his arms in a 90 degree to hold a gun or two and the elbow joint won't bend!! It can swivel, but I literally pulled both his gloved hands off and his elbows still won't bend!! Is Cobra commander from the mass device packs supposed to be like this? I can literally see the joint where they're supposed to bend but I think it's fake cause there is no space for the joint to move. Let me know if your cobra commanders are the same or not. |

I had that same problem way back when this set first came during the 25th line. I had to put Cobra Commander's arms in boiling water to loosen them up and get them to finally pop free and work. They still get stuck every so often. It's odd because all the previous versions of CC that used that body and parts didn't have any problems with the arms.

Honestly this happens with a LOT of articulated figures from Hasbro, I usually have trouble getting the elbow to go and fear I will break them.

Mine was the same way. One arm won't bend.

I have enough Cobra Commander's to justify keeping him MIB. The Retaliation version has been the best version released to date.

I had to do this when the Data-Viper came out! His elbows wouldn't bend is either direction! After about 20 to 30 seconds in boiling water they was fine.

One of my 50th figures had two left hands and tight joints. I put a cup of water in the microwave for about 50 seconds til hot. Dipped the arm in the water pulled off the hand (called Hasbro but that's another story). Also, the elbow bends easily now.
