Favorite Cobra figure is: Destro V1 and Zartan V1 (dead heat) COBRA Destro V1 Destro changed how I thought about GI Joe figures and really blew my mind as a kid. I used to Armor All the figure and ppolish his head (Hush, Sbartek) My grandparents took a trip to Gatlinburg and came back with him. They literally went to every store there that sold toys. He was just PERFECT in my eyes. Silver, black and red. The language of severity. Zartan V1 Zartan, was another figure that just made my imagination explode. Thoughts of, "He can wear a mask AND CHANGES COLOR!?" and "He has a swamp motorcycle?!" were common place. I loved his color swirl solar panels, maroon cowl and pistol. To this day Zartan's pistol is still one of my favorite GI Joe weapons. I dream of taking a Ruger Mark 4 and somehow customizing it. GI JOE Snake-Eyes V2 Snake-Eyes V1 was the figure I wanted to take home with me when my dad and I found GI Joe for the first time at a local department store called, Heck's. My dad thought he was "boring" so he had me pick out another figure. I chose Short Fuse (no idea why). A couple of weeks later when he bought me Snake Eyes V1 he became a NINJA in my 7 year old mind. Because he was garbed completely in black. Duh. My father said,"He's not a ninja, son he's a commando. It says so on his file card." Snake Eyes V1 became my favorite figure. Until Snake Eyes V2. Everything I loved about SE V1 was magnified in SE V2. And guess what? HE'S A NINJA! F-U, POP! I loved his sword and the ability to sheath it in his backpack. And he's got a pet TIMBER WOLF?! AHHHHH MIND BLOWN. I'm sorry this is so verbose. I just started writing and all the memories came flooding back Thanks for that, Slice.

Blowtorch. I loved Blowtorch as a kid. I loved his color scheme and loved his accessories. I'm really hoping for a Classified version of Blowtorch. |

This is cool. Great to see who and why from people.
I’m in. Gotta go with Airtight. Cobra always used a lot of chemical and bio stuff so he was always the guy I had keeping everyone else safe. Still have my original one and still love the design. |

It's very nice of you, but just to clarify, you're giving away the Cobra INFANTRY. Not the Cobra TROOPER which is the Target Exclusive. Favorite Joe: Ace, because GIJoe #34. Favorite Cobra: Wild Weasel, because GIJoe #34. It's not easy to draw a aerial dogfight on paper. At the end when they passed each other and gave each other salutes, that brought me chills. |

I loved Beachhead v1 as I pretended it was me in the balaclava. I love Classified Scarlet nowadays, as I always thought she was ugly faced in 1980's, so super happy to really care for her now (as a figure). |

Thrasher, visually looked cool for an 8 year old, great Christmas gift, plus the figure was packed with the first vehicle I ever had. |

I’m in,
My favorite Joe is Flint, he is a Commander by nature and he means business. My favorite Cobra is Destro who is the the strategy expert and the brightest mind on the enemy lines... 😀✌️

My favorite GI Joe / Cobra is Cobra Snow Viper. I like the arctic war since I watched "World War III" in the 80's. I like any gi joe or cobra with artic wear. |

Favorite Joe is Rip Cord. Always thought he looked cool and since reading his file card, have been enamored with HALO jumping, wanted to try it as a kid/young adult ... still do. |

Oh why the hell not. While I'm not going to spend my own money on it, I 'll bite for a random chance at one given to me.
I'm in. Favorite? Cobra Viper, hands down. Always, always loved the 86 Viper. Had one as a kid but like a lot of my Joes he died in the line of duty! As far as nameless grunts go, this guy is the best. In comparison to Stormtroopers who just look lame, and Cobra Troopers who just look...kinda lame too to be honest, Vipers look like actual elite soldiers. In 86 you had the Trooper and the Viper. The Viper is in this blue jumpsuit with mask, and some helmet, web gear, and a second hand Russian assault rifle. He totally has the look of a barely trained conscript. But the Viper? Tactical/Armor vest. Grenades, backpack, badass helmet, advanced rifle. Rolled sleeves implying non-standard uniform codes. This guy absolutely has the ring of an actual, trained standing army, or an elite force in comparison to the Trooper. Troopers look like the guys fed into enemy guns to bog them down in attrition. Vipers look like the guys you send in to get the mission done! So my favorite? Yeah, Cobra Viper all the way. All hail the blue and red! |
