I was asked by another member to do a quick review of the Cobra Combat Ninja after I was fortunate enough to find it. Also, I'm no pro at this so please be kind.
First off, the figure is GREAT! No complaints here. I'm not sure what the complaint was on the paint job, but I like it a lot. The spring loaded rocket is cool and not annoying like the early Retaliation and ROC stuff. The figure does have a few minor flaws, but nothing to loose sleep over. Plastic still feels a bit off, but much better than Retaliation Wave 1. The alternate head sits too low on the figure than I'd like. And it looks odd on this figure IMO, but might look awesome on another figure (Cyber Ninja, ROC Neo-viper, BAT?). I tried it on a Cyber Ninja (pic below) and love the results. Too bad I only have one CN as I'd like to see how it is with this new guy leading a team of CNs. I'll give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. Anyways, Here are the pics....

Thanks for the review, man. You did a good job.
As for the figure, I think most people are just missing the additional paint apps that the early pics had. When comparing, it does make the final version look incomplete and kinda dull. Nothing a little black paint on some areas of the vest and knee pads can't fix.

These "gimmick" weapons are pretty cool.

Nice review. Very, very cool of you to post pics of the alternate head on different figures.
Originally I had planned on displaying this guy with the alternate/robo head, but after seeing these pics, I actually think he looks pretty cool with the default masked head and helmet. The robo head might best be used for a custom of some sort instead.

Great review and good pictures, I love the paint job on this one. Finally a Cobra Trooper that looks like it's from the movie, and I just love that the missile launcher is painted up like the ASP!
