Lines/Colors/3D Cobra Bazooka Trooper

Clockwise · 04-18-2025, 02:54 AM

2008 ramped up the onslaught of the 25th Anniversary figures. When the 25A line had come to a close, it had provided collectors with many, many versions of the standard Cobra Soldier and Cobra Officer to army build. The Cobra Bazooka Trooper was a nice variation on that theme. Essentially a Cobra Soldier nominally altered with different webgear and netting on the helmet, it's a figure that was easy to overlook because it intentionally looked so close to its fellow army builders. I even forgot to add the helmet netting to the artwork!

Looks cool, either way. The background is effective for the mask and bazooka, too.
I don't think I have this figure, but it seems like the Walmart Retro figures that were (very) short-lived about five years ago included a bazooka with the Cobra trooper.

Thank you.

I passed on the WMR figures, but they did look good. The Fang pilot was a nice addition, too.
