are the Cobra figures from sideshow toys real Cobras, they look great, feel great, look completely authentic, but I bought the Cobra Trooper 12 inch, and its copyright 1996, and its got the spectra style helmet that dates back to Cobra when Cobra was a full flunge terrorist Group, can you imagine that, the figure I bought recently, after the 25th line came out, and on his ass, it has copyright 1996 Hasbro, freakin, then you look at the sideshow toys, they are dope, way dope, but the fact is, they want nearly 150 bucks, for a figure that aint as authentic as the Cobra Trooper 12 inch, not that I ever seen that Cobra trooper style in real life, cause if they is real I wouldnt tell you about it, but they just aint the same thing as the Cobra Trooper 12 inch, funny thing that pisses me off about him, his pants say, GI Joe brand pants on them, freakin, itd be easy to get some real camo on them right off the bat, perhaps even some Cobra camo that would match the figure, some stuff that might freak you out, really tho, the sideshow toys figures just dont seem the same, maybe they are some old Leichstenstein Guard or something, you know from some classified inteligence, but you aint Leichstenstein!

serial, they have a heavy price on their back dont they, just a simple compare and contrast of the appearance of the figures right, you know, dimensional economics, a strictly here by buisness, there by goods, when where what and why behind the reality of the figures!

So, you're comparing Sideshow to older 12" figure lines?
I'm not quite sure what it is that you're asking... or telling. But to answer the first 9 words of your paragraph; yes, they are real Cobras. Sideshow's goal is to blend classic iconography with modern gear. |

well
I am comparing it to the Cobra 12 inch that has just as of recently come out, made by hasbro, recently, after the 25th line came out, the 12 inch figures, then sideshows came out online, I paid nearly only 15 bucks for it, compareable to 150 bucks for the sideshow toys figure,but hell yes, you ask me, anything to do with Cobra to someone like me is worth it, Im King Cobra man! |

Not rying to sound like an ass but, wrong forum dude.
I know you are trying to sound cool, but we're cracking our brains trying to figure out what you are saying. I don't see a need to compare a toy that is like dated back in 1996, it's like saying how expensive the ROC toys are now compare to the o-rings era. Look at the quality of the plastic, fabric and mold they are using now for the Sideshows compared to the older hasbro ones. You'll feel stupid trying to compare things from different era as SS already said they are modernizing the Joes from their predecessors. Last edited by WhiteHawk; 04-14-2010 at 12:40 PM.. |

I think he's saying the hasbro one looks more like the traditional cobra trooper (Cartoons, comics, 3-3/4" figures) than the sideshow ones.
