I was very reluctant to buy this comic pack, in fact I really thought this pack was boring and lame and a waste of money. I guess my overall concern was the Gung Ho. The original figure that came in the 5 pack was cool until I got it out. The figure was so limp he could not stand up even with the stand; I was bummed. The Armored Cobra Commander did nothing for me as well. I already had the figure so why should I buy a repaint. I finally decided to take a chance and see what this pack could offer even with my reservation. Let me tell you guys this, PICK THIS PACK UP! It is well worth the money and I am so glad I did! The Gung Ho figure was solid and the Armored Cobra Commander was cool as well. The comic is a reprint of issue #64 and marks the introduction of the impostor to the Cobra forces and to the baroness.
Gung Ho This is the third Gung Ho Hasbro has released. No longer does it sport the original colors from the ARAH or the 5 pack/ single card release but a new vibrant green camouflage color. The color scheme looks sharp on this figure and in my opinion seems to fit in nicely with other combat squads. The problem with the limp, loose legs has been fixed. He still comes with that grenade launcher but I never had a problem with this weapon. He has his original back pack which has been re-colored and a pistol. Be warned, the pistol is difficult to put in the holster but it will fit with a little work. Also this figure uses the wave 4 head since there is no anchor present on the cap. |

Armored Cobra Commander
This version of the Armored Cobra Commander sports a new paint job and a surprise under the helmet. The first release gave us a masked Commander; this one gives us Fred VII. I know many people complained that the figure did not sport the Fred head, now we have an official release of the character in his true form. The figure has been repainted to look more like the comic counter part and I feel this does the character justice. The figure also sports the same articulation as the first release. Overall, a solid looking figure. |

I give it a 7 for a couple of reasons
#1 No new sculpts #2 not another cc! Why god why? But it is saved by the fact we have a nice surprise under cc's helmet and gung-ho's paint isn't terrible.

In the comics Fred "killed" CC and took over Cobra pretending to be CC. He got a hold of this battle armor and wore it. If my memory is right, the real CC never wore this battle armor except in the toons.

Fortunately other loyal CGs dug up and revived the true Commander.

I think the real CC wore it, but maybe not in public. I want to say I've seen him (In the comic) taking it off sortly before Fred shoots him in the back

I gave this a pack a 2. This is a total pass. I like the Gung Ho, but imo he should have been thrown in wave 12, a vehicle or a "battle pack" instead of a 2 pack with ANOTHER Cobra Commander.
