Long time lurker here at the Tank, first time poster. Just had to get a vote in for the future of Classified.

So many people with Pythona on their Cobra list but mysteriously she doesn't make the bracket. Is that just because we don't have official vintage card art for her? Come on.

I think the fact that she was not in the original ARAH toyline probably hurts her popularity just a little compared to characters who were. She's also part of Cobra-La which, like-it-or-not, is not universally loved by everyone on here. I'm sure DESTRO would have used this art if she was in the Sweet 16.

At least the opening of that movie is good. I could watch the first three minutes of that on a loop. Last edited by Spider5800; 02-26-2023 at 05:39 PM.. |

Two of the more interesting characters who could be great or great eyesores if done wrong. Blowtorch could make a cool Centurion if that was a Hasbro property. (Can't remember.) Unfortunately, the season two animation began to nosedive. Some of the last Sunbow episodes are lazily animated and the voice talent wasn't as enjoyable. |

Maybe your comments offer a clue. While the introduction of Cobra La in 1987 and the rise of Serpentor was the low point of Joe for you, you continued to watch, or came back to watch the later years under the umbrella of DIC. Was there a mass exodus, that returned in the 90's? I can remember the ninja turtles were a thing then. Did this start to wane and fans drifted back to Joe? I would like to see sales for the line during the years of 1988-1990.

I suspect the answer to your question is "because not a lot of people actually SAW the movie back then, and were still watching reruns of the show".
The cartoon did end for 2-3 years. Sunbow stopped producing it in 86, the movie came out in 87 but straight to video because of how poorly Hasbro's other movies were received at the time, (RIP Optimus Prime), and the DIC series didn't premier until 89. No idea how the toy sales were in that intermittent period, but the comic was still ongoing during that time, and plenty of local channels still ran reruns (which is how I got into the series), so its not like there was no media presence. The DIC series was pretty clearly a way to revert the events of the last few years of Sunbow (Operation: Dragonfire just straight up gets rid of Serpentor, brings back HUMAN Cobra Commander, and completely ignores Falcon and all the new characters introduced in the movie), so it looked to me like even Hasbro knew they'd made some mistakes and treated it as a clean slate. They never brought it up again after that special, as far as I'm aware. The TOYS were still pretty good (88 and 89 had some of my favorite figures), so honestly I'll bet a lot of kids just flat out did not know about Cobra-La.
