Sorry for the 4 year delay, but this thread is so important I wanted to take my time to make sure I worded it correctly. While it may be a nice homage to the episode where Flint and Mutt disguised themselves as cobra officers, what was the point? It looks kinda neat on the card, but without Junyard and Mutt getting the same treatment it's not quite as cool as it could be. And really it's just a simple headswap. When we talk about wasted spots this figure is the ultimate spot waster. I would have rathered a Pimp Daddy Serpentor over this extremely pointless figure.

I do view it as a clever way for Hasbro to hit two major elements at teh same time:
it was another Flint (who got elevated to key character status in 25th), a way to keep the character on pegs. it was also another Cobra Trooper, as fans just can't seem to get enough blueshirts.

I agree. The figure was fantastic. I bought several of them. I wish they made a Mutt version as well. That would have been sweet.

Some headswaps end up downright ugly. I'm more than happy to leave it to the professionals at Hasbro.

I think it was just another opportunity to put an easy army builder in the line.

What was the point of your mom giving birth to you?? You've just wasted space on this planet.

It was cool to have a "traitor" Flint! I also bought a few of these figures for troop building, especially when they were so cheap at Big Lots.
I do wish he had come with a better weapon, but thats what Mauraders Weapons is for! |
