;) I think the Armed Forces would be in a world of hurt if it weren't for the boys from the deep south and the mid west who join up. Those farm boys from the middle of nowhere and those Spanish speaking guys from Texas and Puerto Rico are usually some of the best soldiers and NCO's. That's obviously a generalization, but it's pretty representative of what I've seen.

The only Plague figures that were produced were Gallows, Grim Skull, and Guillotine. I bought these figures because they came with the Steel Brigade figures but I always hoped they would make more Plague figures. I think it would have been a great sub team - as it is, I still use it as a sub team for small missions like blowing a bridge or assassination. I have no idea why Nick Baily was such a big deal.
Interrogator was produced. Aleph, Well I use the Cobra urban assualt Night Creeper I use the Laser viper from the Cobra Python Patrol as (I can't remember the names? I guess you can pick a Crimson guard to fill in. I need to look at that issue. |

I look at it like this... Range-Vipers = Airborne Rangers Morays = SEAL Team 6/DEVGRU Eels = SEALs Para Viper = Force Recon Alley Viper = SWAT/CQB/Urban Python Patrol = Special Forces/Delta Force (more like the S.A.S.) Plague = C.I.A. Special Activities Division.

Not even Yojoe.com has put that together. That's awesome. I already had the figure. HA And Munitia in January - YES! That'll be 5 members and that's a pretty good team for Cobra... they really will work like the C.I.A.'s Special Activities Division. My Ghost Squad will have it's hand's full! By the way, the other day I was in Wal-Mart and I noticed some of the weapons that come with the "Corps" line of action figures. The weapons on many of those figures are great, and some of the three packs come with motorcycles... for like $4.44. I bought some to get the bikes and the guns. They're great. I highly recommend them. I can use the figures for hostages, or alternate terrorists, or I can even take their back screws if I need a spare. It's a good deal. It's nothing fancy, but it's fun and cheap.

I agree completely.
I look at it like this... Range-Vipers = Airborne Rangers Morays = SEAL Team 6/DEVGRU Eels = SEALs Para Viper = Force Recon Alley Viper = SWAT/CQB/Urban Python Patrol = Special Forces/Delta Force (more like the S.A.S.) Plague = C.I.A. Special Activities Division. I like it Especially the Python Patrol. I chose not to incorporate the Plague. Interrogator is much higher up on the Cobra Hierarchy in my Cobra Verse. Like a General of sorts. More like the Gestapo. Baroness runs the show as far as intelligence gathering, but Interrogator is more in charge of the policing aspect of things. Black out and the Shadow Guard fall under him as Internal Affairs. Guillotine is Eels commander. Gallows is the Sand Viper Commander. I don't think Saw-Vipers get a commander. What do you do with Cobra Undertows or the new Cobra Divers? |

It's kind of odd watching you guys talk about all these figures from after I stopped collecting (around '90 or so), because usually I have no clue who you're talking about.

Wow, I would have never put that together. Nice work.

It's nothing fancy, but it's fun and cheap. What sucks about Munitia is you have to be a member #1 ($45) She only comes with Lt Falcon and Python Copperhead, so it's the most expensive of those exclusive figure. ($51) I saw those Corps figures too. I wish they were a little more like the Peacekeepers or elite force. they suffer from the dis-proportioned bodies and bright colors. I still might get some. What is good to get, if they still have any, is that Tan Jeep/Hummer. It's awesome. |

What do you do with Cobra Undertows or the new Cobra Divers? I use the Plague as the Baroness's special Unit: they fall under intelligence, and I use them like C.I.A. commandos. The undertows I just throw in with the other Cobra Eels - not as elite as the Morays. I like your system too. Using the Plague members to command different types of units is smart. One other unit I should mention: The Crimson Guard The Crimson Guard is basically used like Armored Cav. We have a number of the tanks (8 mobat repaints and 4 hiss repaints) and we have three of the Crimson Cobra version of the night attack helicopters. we have a tone of Crimson Guardsmen. It's a large, well armed unit. It's not the total of our Cobra Armor, but it's certainly the rapid deployment force with the most punch. I use the Crimson Guard Immortals as elite Cav Scouts. Now that I have the MASS device - these guys could show up anywhere in force.
