He is perfect!

Guys, look what Firm did; effing foot locker, insert, care card, absolutely flawless packaging.

THE FRIGGIN SCAR IS POSABLE!!!! I was able to wrap it around like a long cape/scarf and it looks so regal and arrogant.

I love the idea of Cobra Commander starting out, in his mind, as justified in his hatred to governments and the people who support them, but then, while thinking himself the 'bigger snake' out to get the rest of them, to free the people... just kind of slithering into the role of ruthless villain, manipulator and commander. A vain man who never shows his face, I feel like the Commander, even if he is more a war room general, should always look like he is ready to take the front lines, and even do so if the battle important enough... or if he wants to see the destruction, first hand.

*This* is *the* villain for me, the one who can bend even mighty Megatron to his will. And Firmpulse took some ideas of mine and knocked it out.

See the unboxing process (HE EVEN SENT A /CARE CARD/ AND GLOVES AND WIPES), and see my old custom Commander versus his (who took his gear like he was taking milk money), and last, *the* villain versus *the* hero with my custom Snake-Eyes!

Thank you, this is now the high point of my display!!!!

Wow! I am thrilled you love it. It was a very fun project. Your idea generated a lot of creative energy. I've been messing around with the packaging for a little bit but, FINALLY know what I want to do with full custom figures I complete.

Thanks y'all. Really appreciate it. A couple of my buddies that saw it liked the insert art so I made a set of 10 prints.
