So... What's the deal with Once-a-Man Cobra Commander?

Best one I can find so far but he is a BIG, BIG, BIG boy.

Au contraire. I'm simply making deductions on the basis of what we can observe, rather than issuing confident (but unsupported) statements of finality as you tend to. ;)

I mean, the HasLabs? Really? The HISS Tank that came with extra-classic Cobra Commander, classic Hiss Driver, classic Hiss Driver Female and classic HISS Driver Goth? The Dragonfly with classic Wild Bill and Glenda? Sure, Night Force Ripcord is an actual "updated design" and Crazylegs has had his outfit tweaked to hell and back, but you're still outnumbering yourself 6 to 2.

Again, show me the numbers.

To be honest, I think they missed an opportunity with Starduster here by not making him a matching "mint ice cream" shade to match "retro" Gung-Ho. :(

Yeah, not too keen on it. I don't want to hate on the mechanical wings but they're just not working for me.

It's more of an Airborne repaint with Ripcord's gear.

I'm not sure there is an actual delineation between the lines except for the classic card art.

Yeah, wasn't it stated a while back that the "Retro" line is meant to put figures on vintage-style cardbacks, not to segregate the more vintage-styled figures from the main line?

Haslab is up!

Good grief, I think I want everything from this except the Rattler LOL.

I have a feeling they don't even know yet with CC. Seems like if they had an exact day and time it would have been mentioned in the stream.

I don't know why no one is freaking out about the fact they left like 1000 clues to a retro v2 snake eyes all over the presentation!

Could also be the bear from the toon episode where SE got Timber.

That piece that looks like a squarish canopy is the flight stand adapter
To display the rattler diving, climbing or banking

The show floor pics of the Rattler really highlight how massive it is. The figures look tiny next to the plane.

The 3 included figures are so awesome. I’m really liking the gunner figure; his helmet with the Cobra logos is great.

Road Pig looks awesome, but don't love his face sculpt. A mix of Wreck-It Ralph and v1 Falcon.
