I like the look of this figure overall. Yes it would be better with a chrome head, but the legs don't bother me that much. It kind of is like an anti-SE being that hes in white (yes SS is the true anti-SE though). Can't wait for him to show up on the homefront.
PS: I just thought of this. It seems the cobras in this pack were truly inspired by the early 80's. The frags and Letal have Jane Fonda tights and rolled down leg warmers, and this figure has the stirrup pants on. They should have thrown in a figure with Zubas. |

I got a chrome head from eBay waiting once my Homefront set arrives. Would have preferred regular Snake Eyes legs with black boots, but he looks good standing next to Cobra de Aco.

Is the Red & Chrome version the same character as the White mortal? Meaning, do they have the same bio in being the same person?

Red and chrome Cobra Mortal was an exclusive from Argentina back in the 80s and he was made by Plastirama. His bio was sort of updated when the exclusive set figure was released. White Cobra Mortal was a figure from Rubiplas, which was the Venezuelan GIJOE manufacturer. It seems that Rubiplas made a set of the famous Plastirama Series 2 (AKA the Argen 7) and instead of making a chrome and red Mortal they made an all white one with only a chrome head. Which in my opinion it was not intentional to create another character, but rather a cheap option to retool Mortal without so much detail. So, since White Mortal was this Venezuelan variant it seems that they decided to give him a local background for his bio. Which was kind of interesting. But I really hope we get to see a real mortal in 25th or 30th molds. |

No, I don´t think so.

Let´s hope so but it seems unlikely, since he was released already in his o-ring version and as his white version for the club.

Just a question for the many South American fans, was there a comic or any other story line for the ARG/BRA/VEN G.I. Joes (non USA Characters)other than the Filecards?

Don't think I'd want a traditional Cobra Mortal with silver rather than chrome parts and the Club can't do chrome anymore.
Now that we have Big Boa and Repeater all the Club needs to do are Backblast, Recoil and Scoop and we can get a Forca Fera 4-pack with animals!
