You're all the most insufferable person on the board to me!

The Zartan IS a picture of the figure. lol

Nemesis looks amazing on the other hand.

Welcome! It's a good side of collecting to be on - knowing you don't have to be all-in to still find a lot of enjoyment in a line.

I've often thought of many of the "big" COBRA characters to be WWF (not WWE) rejects. Stronger than they look, but not made for TV.

I feel like the Classified figure (his body at least) is fairly similar to that example. But that head sculpt...his head is where I think things fall apart and he seems like a cartoon character or Shrek or Wreck-it-Ralph. I think if he had a more realistic looking face that fit with his body, more people would be fans of his Classified figure. I think if you take away the head, the figure is close to what his old art and figure were like physique-wise.

Speaking of BMI, been lifting & swimming for 30 years. Only 5'10" and weigh between 220 and 230, but built like a running back or a boxer. But according to BMI, I'm morbidly obese. It's pretty useless if you have a lot of muscle on your frame.

He has more of a Nemesis Enforcer look to me. Kim Kold from Fast & Furious 6 always liked like he could play Road Pig. For the figure, I think he should have been shaped more like the new Colossus movie figure from Deadpool.

I am ok with a figure of the year award. But a HOF seems odd for an active item, per se.

Now I had almost every figure from this line with the exception of a few from the second wave. I had the Fortress of Fangs, the smaller brozen dragons, the "Hook Horror" and the steeds, it was kind of my obsession between Star Wars winding down and Joe / MOTU really exploding. But I don't recall ever seeing Tiamat in stores or I would have given a foot to have her.

It blows my mind that this boxed one on Ebay has a TRU sticker for 3 dollars on it. I can't even fathom...

Didn't even know they made a Tiamat.

As for my votes,

Shouldn't that rattler be picking up by now? I am worried the baroness wont fund and if she doesnt i dont want the rattler.
