Gyre-Viper has posted the first ever production samples of the unproduced Rise of Cobra (or "original" Pursuit of Cobra) 2 pack figures Dr. Mindbender, Zap, and Budo.
Originally revealed as package art seen on Mike Thompson's website, we finally see what these, supposedly Walmart, exclusives look like: JoeDeclassified.com • View topic - Canceled ROC Budo, Mindbender, Zap, & Nano-B.A.T. IN-HAND

Over on Joe Declassified Gyre-Viper put up some pictures of the cancelled Walmart two packs that were supposed to have Dr. Mindbender in a lab coat, Budo, Zap in Reactive Impact Armor, and Nano Bat.
The Mindbender and Budo are pretty cool even though they are simple repaints. Maybe we'll see them from the club some day. JoeDeclassified.com • View topic - Canceled ROC Budo, Mindbender, Zap, & Nano-B.A.T. IN-HAND |

The Club gave us the Nano Bat, hopefully we can get the others.
Maybe one of these will be the 13th figure |

To be brutally honest...I don't think we really lost anything here. Dr Mindbender MAYBE, but I know with even a little bit of tooling, Hasbro could easily whip out a MUCH better figure.
I KNOW had these been released, there would be endless complaints about how weak they are. Kind of the reverse of ARctic Destro that people were harking how awesome it was..until it was released and became a shelfwarmer. Collectors always tend to overestimate how cool something is when they can't have it.

wow they really went all out with that Zap ! lol . I do very much like mindbender tho. you always need a mad scientist in a white lab-coat. and not a circus muscle man outfit :P. all in all like most of the rest said not a big loss compared to that cabinet of Hurt from the Toyfair booth :(

I like Budo and Dr. Mindbender. Not crazy about Zap.

Clever way to ROC-up Zap.
Budo is kinda weak, but I still like him & would have preferred him in the POC line instead of the Temple Snake Eyes. |
