I'm only getting one too. Because I may do some stuff to it. One thing that is a bit disappointing is the apparent lack of side to side ankle rocking. It seems like the hips have ball/socket joints. They went to the trouble of adding telescoping shoulder assemblies. But no ankle rockers? Even if it has ball/socket ankles there isn't much clearance for a wider stance. Keeping this beast in "H" stance all the time just seems like a waste.

I would absolutely LOVE them to release the all black w/silver Cobra sigil version. That was my favorite. Call it the SNAKE Operator. An all black figure nestled in that cockpit would be sick.

I'm glad they skipped it. Very happy to be paying less than a Bill and can use one of my 20 other Troopers. Unless they would have created something more unique (see above)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you?re correct on both accounts ..

A SNAKE armor has already sold for $150.

I hope it was someone in country without PUlse access. Otherwise I pity the fool.

If I was going to do a kitbash for my SNAKE armor I'd maybe put a Cobra Stinger Driver's head on a Cobra Officer body? Or maybe the Cobra HISS Tactician as the driver or the 788 Officer as the driver as other options?

Either of the Techno Vipers would also look cool in the SNAKE mecha.
