They could retool or add fur or gear and I suppose use it as a base for a Monstro-Viper too.

Hoping Lenny and co use the buck for some more new creations like they have done so far with Parth; Scout; and Twilight Guard.

That is definitely supposed to be the Mauler in that patch. Which is rad but I still hope we are going to see Steeler sometime.

With Law & Order coming down the road, I hope they correct both mistakes from the original toy line where the movie is concerned. First, give us Pythona. Second, give us Big Lob, so we can finally have ALL of the Rawhides.

Not even sure the Fridge would totally work with this model. It's so unique.

Like the idea of a mutant. Slice was mentioning his ideas for Raptor and if Cobra-La is successful maybe the team will extrapolate on their army a bit? A bear soldier? Idk. They're going so hard right now I'm sure if they keep their brand's budget we'll see another use of this somewhere/somehow. Shades of Valor vs Venom in this idea, as well. Not sure I would turn down a Venomous Maximus, Swamp Rat, or a Coil Crusher.

Cobra Rattler almost at 8400 already!

I think this point gets missed a ton in here. I've def mentioned it before. People want to will into existence a "retro" version of a character that's more in-line with thr ARAH released figure in the Retro line. The Retro line doesn't necessarily mean Retro based figure; it's simply a retro-carded figure. Emily stated that blatantly in one if the streams. Not every figure will get a main line release and a retro release. Some main line releases are straight upscale versions of their predecessors, how could they get any more "retro". Just my 2 cents.

What a time to be a Joe fan though right??

Wonder if they'll do a Bridge Layer with Tollbooth for $100? I'm not sure how popular it was but I always liked it. Wolverine with a new Cover Girl could be in the same category.

What time do the pre-orders go live?

My Dad is a retired Combat Engineer with 30 years service. The Bridge Layer was an X-mas gift from my folks back in the day and was an essential vehicle to traverse the canyon between the sofa and ottoman to attack Cobra.

I was just drooling over the Ramen toys 1:12 scale Bride layer a moment ago. Gonna have to get my pre-order in on it.
