Serpentor is a great character. Unfortunately, his 25th action figures haven't been that great. Don't get me wrong, the mold is great. Except for one issue.
The head. Serpentor is someone who is constantly angry and always vying for power. He should have an angry scowl which to which you will command him. But what did we get? A headsculpt resembling Billy Corgan. I don't know about you, but when I think of a ruthless terrorist organization that created a super soldier. I don't think Billy Corgan, no matter how many times I listened to the Smashing Pumpkins in fifth and sixth grade. If they were going for an angry rock star, they should have modelled Serpentor after Axl Rose or Tom Araya. So what should they do for Serpentor? Give him an angry scowl and if possible long hair. So when it comes to the 25th figure of Serpentor, my Cobra Commander isn't scared and I don't think yours is either. |

I wouldnt mind seeing a better helmet too.
one that more closely resembles the original ARAH figure and the cartoon. I dont really know how to describe the helmet we've gotten but it certainly isnt what we wanted. |

I don't like Serpentor very much but I can't help really liking the one from the ASA DVD pack. The face is still not right as stated but the figure I think is great. I kept the other Serpentors in a box but this one I keep out and use.

Which would you rather have in an upcoming single carded wave, a fixed "perfect" version of a figure you think they botched before (like Falcon or Serpentor) or a new character that may not be high on your want list (like Sneak Peek or Chuckles) thoughts?

i combined the parts (helmet, cape/headress, & piece that wraps around the arms) from the dvd set with the single carded one, looks alot better. i glued the helmet on though since it was very loose. yeah he is not yelling but its the best we are going to get and that is fine with me. never liked serpentor, he was lame period. i am fine with just these 2 releases. i don't want anymore serpentors taking up space that can be used for other figures you have not been made yet. if anything put one in a comic pack with another repack to make the fans happy.
this i command! oh yeah, give me chuckles any day of the week over this fool. |

Yeah, this brings up a question I've often wondered about:
Which would you rather have in an upcoming single carded wave, a fixed "perfect" version of a figure you think they botched before (like Falcon or Serpentor) or a new character that may not be high on your want list (like Sneak Peek or Chuckles) thoughts? More new characters or more army builders. I think Cobra should have an entire "Rogues Gallery" of characters they can do, The SAW viper, Vapor, Decimator, SkyCreeper, Night Creeper Leader, etc. Most of us can always improve the existing characters via headswaps. |
