I was tired of ranting about the Cobra Commander Movie Version. So it's time for a poll. Which Cobra Commander do you prefer: Rag Head, Chrome Dome, or this Guy?
Amendment: The poll is to see if you prefer the OLD STYLE vs NEW STYLE. Had to put this because of some confusion about why there is no Battle Armor Cobra Commander here. I know I forgot the Battle Armor and the 91 version with the plastic red see through mask (remember him, NO?). I recall in the original GI Joe, A Real American Hero Marvel comics, that the Battle Armor Cobra Commander (came out on the cover of an issue in 87) later was not the same person wearing the hood or mask version (someone help me here, didn't he unmask and had red hair and his name was Fred!) I remember from the comics, Cobra Commander had a son named Billy and in the flashbacks had dark hair, had something to do with a car crash, came around as Cobra Commander wearing a hood and face mask; you know the story from there. The 91 version was a bad figure, I'm sure every kid unmasked him to find an unhappy looking ZAP. He ended up in the meatgrinder and my friends blew theirs up and chopped him into little bits. I think a similar fate is in store for "This Guy"; what do they call him in the movie, Rex? The toy line was tanking by then. In 94 the comic ended and the toy line later came back in a 3 pack with new paint jobs to the old figures and made with a different plastic that made them look like the Joe want-a-bees in the end of the toy aisle at Walmart, at your local Pharmacy, and at the Dollar Store. For me, I started the decline of my collecting when the GI Joe movie came out, and when the Space Joes came out with the Aliens I was DONE. Sold off 95% of my Joes, I restarted to collect when the line came back after 2000. So there is not just the THREE versions, which I posted, there is at least FIVE and if you go by the paint jobs and slight variances between hooded versions and masked versions there are over Seventeen; too many to name. I don't have the GI Joe Thesaurus here, but you can look them up. Last edited by Firefly007; 06-12-2009 at 10:07 AM.. |

LOL maybe that is wh the joes get attacked in the desert and are near the pyramids...Cobra Commander is the Mummy...make ssssense in a sssstupid way...due to the director...

I'd have to say chrome dome since he's crazy enough to strap C4 to his head.

Chrome Dome and Rag-head. As for "This Guy" he needs to die in a fire. Hell when these figures go the way of Indy I think I will buy one for $1 just to give him the M-80 treatment.

Forgot to put the original battle armor type, but that's OK he came out latter. I have a feeling the movie version might be refereed to as new type of battle armor Cobra Commander. I just wanted to see if people like the old version vs the new one I prefer the old one myself.

I like the chrome mask most for these reasons:
In my Joe-Verse, no one really knows what race COBRA Commander is. This is so he belongs to all races, and none, a universal leader. When he appears in the hood (which he NEVER wears outside of the COBRA inner sanctum) his skin around his eyes will range in different color from albino to Africa black. Is this makeup? His eye colors also change like his skin from appearance to appearance. This has given rise to rumors there may be more than one COBRA Commander, no one really knows for sure. He speaks through a voice modulator as well, so his "voice" isn't his natural voice. He also speaks dozens of languages perfectly with no accent. But the chrome mask: That symbolizes both his anonymity and the fact that when you look him in the face, you see yourself staring back at you. This is to represent himself as part of everyone, as in my Joe-Verse CC actually believes himself to be the savior of humanity and the one destined to unite the planet into one nation and end poverty and war forever...by wiping out the wealthy social classes and anyone else who won't accept the COBRA philosophy. He chose snakes to symbolize his movement because they are the despised and hated of the Earth but possessing a deadly venom to strike down their enemies. |
