The Trooper is my favorite figure in the line (by far), but there are two things I would change about it.
I wish the knife holder was on his boot (or absent altogether). It really gets in the way up by his head like that (and it doesn't make a ton of sense to me there). And I wish the boots were solid black. The blue shoes are a little weird if you focus on them. But they aren't that noticeable usually. Still, it's an excellent figure. My favorite non-MOTUC action figure of all time I think (beating out 3.75" Ultimate Cobra Commander by a nose).

It can also get in the way when you're trying to have him use the rifle right-handed (his chin almost hits it). But, yes, it's a nitpick of course.

I collect both, and am aware. They also did the Carbonized Mandolorian which took like 6 months to restock, and it blew out again. These could all show up and sit like rocks later on, or they could be gone right now for good. No telling, unless the companies specifically tell us wtf is going on.

Great pics. Great figures. Makes me want them more, but only willing to pay retail prices. Going to the other thread to bitch now, but thanks for the effort in these photos.

These pics are validation that the money I also paid to get these through Ebay was $$$ well spent. Great write up and pictures! I did manage to snag a Cobra Trooper in store, but everything else has been via finders fee and I do not regret a single purchase. These are marvelous action figures.

Art, Tony. These galleries are pure art. Wonderful work...the lighting, the effects, the poses...all just fantastic. You always do great work, but you seemed motivated here to take it to the next level. Bravo.
Yeah, I have no regrets about blowing my wad on ebay either. After a week or two hitting Target every day - some days more than one Target - I just decided that it wasn't worth the headache. And when the Baroness finally starts popping up I'll just wait for ebay prices to stabilize (I can be patient enough to not reward some scalper for charging $150 for a $40 toy) and get her there, too.

I remember street dates when I was a kid. Wanted something? Everyone was to wait until that date to put it out on the shelf. Of course, we didn't have on line shopping then (granted, this is 80's thinking), and the last line I remember them actually doing a hard release date was for the new Star Wars trilogy. Lego sort of does it. Demand is great, and the supply sucks right now.
Cobra Trooper, bought on sight, looks awesome and the only other figure I will troop build is the Viper Beachhead, looks good to the origional. The weapons all being green sucks, but maybe they can be died, or a 3rd party will come out with some option, and his gun reminds me of one of those NERF Vortex weapons, with the flywheel cage sticking out there in the front Roadblock V2, if I get him, he will be recast into Heavy Duty, and again, will need some 3rd party to come along and give him something new for a weapon, and not neccesarily his dual missile launcher/laser cannon high chair backpack |

I wish they wouldn't have gone with that joe-pro thing on the shoulder. It's kind of takes away from their individuality for some reason(joes never looked like a team lol)
