This was one of the first new Joes I picked up. I thought it was so awesome that the Baroness had removable glasses. That Cobra Commander quickly became one of my favorites, it had never been a priority for me til then but I quickly tracked down the old Talking Battle Commander and Battle Corps Cobra Commander because of this set.
Only two bad things about the comic packs I thought. Hasbro using those far too tight rubber bands to hold guns on the hands, ruining the hand and not using the 82-83 Trooper/Officer waist when they had just found it and used it in the six packs. But it was a good time. Was pretty cool getting some old school ARAH figures with a new paint job and thumbs you didn't have to worry about breaking. Or a Duke you can bend the legs on and not have to be paranoid the waist was going to explode. |

I've been eyeing this set recently. I think this is the best hooded CC head sculpt (hood-sculpt?), and it's a shame Hasbro hasn't used it more. I'd love to get one w/o the white circle background under the Cobra sigil, even though he does appear that way in the early comics.

The attempt to capture Baroness' early look in this set was lazy. Plopping that new head on a repainted Scarlett V1 body would've been closer than another blue 1984 Baroness. (Or closer to Sunbow since Baroness wore gloves in The MASS Device). On the other hand, 1997 Baronesses are so fragile that it was not a bad thing to see that mold in blue again. |
