While this is kind of cool looking - it's way too 'real military' for my taste. I prefer GIJoe to be sci-fi / future tech / goofy and somewhat a bit crazy. Like Cross Country driving an unarmored vehicle with a huge glass canopy - while laying on his belly... with an exposed gunner above his head - and a rocket sled thing-a-ma-jig shooting off behind all of them. THATS GIjoe.
( just no Cobra La. ;) )

The product description page states it's made from polypropylene. That's what you are looking for. Polypropylene will generally not leach anything, react with anything and is archival safe. I would stick to the clear ones if you want to be extra safe.

I think some people take issue not with Cobra La just as a "science Fiction to far" element. But they do take objection that Cobra Commander keeps having his authority underminded as much as he does.
So Destro's occasional Coup, or Serpentor's little Civil war at least extend from the dynamics of the interpersonal dramas of Cobra, something lots of people like about Cobra. But when you take and ancient "Ancient Race" who are 'functionally Aliens' (like the Atlanteans in Stargate Atlantis would be seen) and just pull them out of nowhere with no forshadowing and say "oh they are in charge". That would be like thinking Darth Vader was the head of the Empire as they never mentioned the Emperor before and then suddenly Palpatine is just sitting there. That is the cumulative reason why some might roll their eyes at Cobra La.. also if your someone who only followed the comics that would be a reason too. Now considering that Classified is 'it's own thing' and is mostly but entirely based on ARAH but with some new and revised elements and a reasonable chunk of current comics too. I would say one way to handle Cobra La i'd have been happier with wouldn't be just to have them there from the start but rather make hints and suggestion about them. If anyone who's ever played of seen Far Cry 5 ; if Cobra La were like "The Voice" that is mentioned, some mysterious god like entity that is linked to the Cult of the coil or some such then they were later to be reveal as some sort of Lovecraftian threats puppeteering this cult inside Cobra then that could open up all sorts of story ideas.. like provide a reason for Serpentor or Destro to split off from Cobra. Or to do some interesting things with the Python Patrol or Crimson Guard. But if they are just some sentient that show up and claim authority over Cobra out of nowhere.. or were the ones setting it up the whole time and Cee cee isn't human.. then yeah.. not feeling that to be honest. I don't think it adds anything but it does detract a lot from the command structure of the bad guy factions. Heck one could even have them co-operating with Cess Pool or the Headman to distribute some horrible apocalypse causing drug or chemical (that they don't know or care is going end the world) and then Cobra la can be the cause of a Zombie apocalypse say. There is ways to use them that I think makes them useful and ways to use them that they just sit there like a dog poo on the carpet being smelly and obvious. |
