I find these responses fascinating. Also only one person mentioned Artic/Ninja force Storm Shadow. I have him pre ordered but keep forgetting about him

Stealing the refuse bin thing
1) Baroness. She's so pretty even if she's too skinny and I hope I can get that costume someday 2) Destro. Cool, classic, everyone loves this toy 3) Cobra Commander. He'd be 2 if I could combine retail and Regal. He looks so gloriously self-important 4) Snake Eyes. Besides the bandolier he looks so clean. I'm impressed there's so much detail but it doesn't come off as busy 5) Scarlett. She's cute, and I like her design even if I don't agree with the color blocking. Her weapon is awful 6) Cobra Trooper. Enough accessories and parts that he can be rejiggered into half a dozen variants before paint even comes into play 7) Beach Head. Without the beret he looks too plain to me, I'll wait until I see what future variants do to make him pop more 8) Arctic Mission Storm Shadow. Looks cool. Too bulky for the ninja stuff I'd expect so I wouldn't know what to do with him 9) Cobra Island Roadblock. No longer looks like he just remembered he left the stove on, but too monochrome to catch my eye Regal CC is nice but that particular shade of gold is trash. Just match the art, okay? PDD is so friggin' cool but I don't think it's possible to rank him. It'd be like adding the space shuttle to a list of your 10 favorite gliders... it technically counts but is really against the spirit. Refuse Bin -Gung Ho. I've said before that I get Last Blood Stallone vibes and I'm sticking with that. He looks creepy -Roadblock. That face. It's just so bad. -Snake Supreme CC. Love the idea, hate the execution. The tampo doesn't do anything for me -Red Ninja. Looks cool. Really cool. Don't ever need to own one

Here's my list, but it only includes what I own so far and takes into account any modding/painting I've done. Customizing these figures has brought me tons of enjoyment, and it's not easy for me to come up with my rankings.
1. Cobra Trooper - Just a great figure. The only downside is the way the sheath and holster interfere somewhat with holding weapons two-handed, but I'm not bothered my this very much. Just so much fun to pose. 2. Beach Head - I think the sculpting and parts really work well. The factory coloration does seem a little too toy-like for my taste, but repainting it has moved it way up on my list. 3. Snake Eyes (standard release) - Another that's a lot of fun to play with. Great articulation and the small red accents look sharp. The only problem is the mid-torso articulation on mine is fairly loose. I'm bummed I canceled the Pulse exclusive one at the last minute. I would love to have that gear, even though I prefer the all-black style. 4. Destro - Great representation of the original look. 5. Duke - This is another one that moved up a lot after I customized. Duke always loses some points just because I find it difficult to get that excited by the character even though I liked him when I was a kid. 6. Scarlett - This rank was the hardest for me to decide. I really like the figure--even the color scheme works for me--but I feel like it's missing something to move it up higher. I might get another sometime so I can have one that's unmodded (maybe I'll paint the hair) and one that's completely repainted into more classic colors. Maybe. 7. Roadblock - As released is very meh, but repainted makes me like it a lot more. It loses points because I'm not thrilled with the headsculpt and he really needs a better weapon. |

1. Exclusive Snake-Eyes. Love everything about it, and he’s my fave character!
2. Destro. Rivals SE for the top spot, but for that fave character issue... ;) 3. Baroness. Might also have claimed the #1 spot, but there are supposed elbow range issues holding her back, as well as price for the crappy motorcycle...glasses look awesome! 4. Cobra Trooper. Simply captures the essence of the character—excellent! 5. Arctic Mission Storm Shadow. He’s my 2nd fave character, a fact that may have jumped him ahead of Beachhead and CC; not sure, need to hold in hand... 6. Beachhead. Like SS, I don’t like solid color weapons. Missing camo hurts, but that beret is a sweet addition! 7. Regal Cobra Commander (light blue). I like the dark blue color better, but it really needs the hooded head yet... 8. Duke. Well-sculpted head, screams Duke to me. 9. Scarlett. Another well-sculpted head, but that crossbow sucks. 10. Red Ninja. Nameless, faceless, flawless...just not as interesting of a character to me. 11. Gung-Ho. Looks fine overall, but missing that proper head gear (see Valaverse for the solution!). I also miss his bright colors... 12. Cobra Island Roadblock. Would have beat out Gung-Ho, except that he looks more like Heavy Duty. Still a sweet figure. 13. Regular release Cobra Commander (dark blue). This is where repeat characters start to show up in my ranking. As stated above, this version needed the hooded head! 14. Pimp Daddy Destro. Hilarious, and includes very cool animal skin cape. But otherwise, useless in the Joeverse. 15. Regular release Snake Eyes. Too bland without visor painted, weapons suck bad with those atrocious holes, and that infra-red enemy target on his forehead is such a major minor (yes, contradictory!) oversight. 16. Regular release Roadblock. That weapon is atrocious, and he’s simply not as cool-looking as the Cobra Island version. 17. Supreme Cobra Commander. 3rd version and simply unnecessary at this point in the line. I dig the snake-scaled cape, though, and it’s cool to see his OG hair blower. Missed opportunity to include his throne in this exclusive boxed version.

Thanks! But they're are so cool and I will always have a soft spot for Cobra Troopers.

Just the ones that are of interest for me, jugded by appearance on photos.
1. Regular CC (dark blue) – Was expecting him to be as muscular as the other characters, instead he is more of average to fit built, which I like, because I’ve always pictured him more of a thinker. Outfit suits perfectly for the Cobra Leader. 2. Scarlett – She is very gorgeous. Her face is sweet and warm. They managed to give this figure personality. Okay, her hair could be a tone less bright, but I don’t mind. 3. Regular Snake Eyes – Love the mystery he emanates. Perfectly shaped, perfect outfit. 4. Arctic Storm Shadow –The expression of his eyes is perfect for the character: intense and determined. I don’t like the hood as much, it seems a bit too high. 5. Baroness – She looks like I imagined her with her sharp facial features. A bit too slim maybe, but badass. 6. Duke – He clearly has a Duke vibe. Like his face shape and haircut. 7. Destro – Looks like a Destro should look. I would have preferred the Iron Grenadier Outfit. 8. Roadblock w1 – Could have been really cool, but why this face expression? |

For my dumbass rankings the one rule is I have to own the figure.
1. Destro 2. Cobra Trooper (I was shocked by how impressed I am with this one. He might of taken the number one spot but I think some character bias snuck in pushing Destro to the top) 3. Scarlett (Seems like some folk have a problem with this design and figure. They are wrong it is fucking rad) 4. Deluxe Snake Eyes ( I prefer the silver visor and the brownish color that was added. This one feels more commando and less ninja to me. Which I prefer. Plus it has the Uzi) 5. Duke (I always hated Duke. This figure makes me like Duke better. Good job toy) 6. Roadblock (I did not like his gun. Mine is displayed with ML Deathlok's gun. No real complaints about him I just think the others outshine him) 7. Snake Eyes ( Fancy SE made this one drop to the bottom of my list. He isn't in my main display even, he is just standing off to the side like a chump) 1.Destro *2. Baroness (Always liked her and I have zero complaints about this figure) 3. Cobra Trooper 4. Scarlett 5. Deluxe Snake Eyes 6. Duke *7. Arctic Storm Shadow (I wasn't even going to get this one. I'm glad I did, I like it) 8. Roadblock 9. Snake Eyes *10 CI Roadblock (If this was actually Heavy Duty it would be 8 and above the other Roadblock. It's not and the other looks more like Roadblock in my opinion) Last edited by Punkrocklocal; 08-27-2020 at 06:03 PM.. |

1) Deluxe Snake Eyes. What a way to start off a new line. Iconic character with an awesome box design. I ordered the max 5 when he went on sale.
2) Baroness. One of the finest GI Joe sculpts ever. Found her yesterday. 3) Destro. A damn good modern update to his classic design. 4) Cobra Trooper. See Destro. 5) Cobra Commander. Don't have him yet. But he looks great in all 3 versions. 6) Beachhead. Don't care for the green weapons, but not liking some weapons is a common theme. 7) Scarlett. Her face sculpt, freckles and all, is fantastic. 8) Gung-Ho. Don't have him yet. 9) Duke. A good modern update. 10) Roadblock. I'd prefer something closer to his ARAH colors and no .50 cal is missed. 11) Red Ninja. Don't have him yet, but he's already grown on me. Ordered two. May get more. 12) Arctic Storm Shadow. Don't have him yet either, but he'll do until a more classic SS is available. I ordered x 4. May cancel two. 13) Retail Snake Eyes. Deluxe is so awesome and this one's lack of a classic load out drops him down the list. 14) Roadblock CI. A meh figure for me. Neither version nails down my vision for Roadblock. 15) PD Destro. I was always meh on the original version. The accessories are cool though. I still ordered him x 2.
