One of the most highly anticipated and requested Cobras since the Classified line debuted in spring 2020, the Crimson Guard was released in December 2022 as part of Wave 10. The Classified CG, affectionately known as a "Seigie", is relatively faithful to his original ARAH design and didn't drift too far from the 1985 figure; which the majority of fans were perfectly okay with, though some collectors might have preferred a slightly more modern update of the CG. The figure captures the aesthetics of the original perfectly, while also giving him a slightly modern feel.
The Crimson Guard comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a backpack, a rifle with a removable magazine clip, a pistol, a dagger, a ceremonial sword and a removable sheath. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

Easily a ten. A great iconic troop builder.

10. My favourite Cobra troop type and they nailed it. Would have preferred a more accurate to the original rifle, but the one we got is still good. And I love the addition of the sword.

I love this figure. I have sixteen of them. I want to give it a 10, but I'm knocking it down one point for a few minor issues: 1. Mismatched reds all over the figure (not as bad as some other figures, so not a full point). 2. Misaligned Cobra symbol on the chest. 3. Out of sixteen figures, I think six or seven rifles, ten swords, and twelve or thirteen sword sheaths came out of the package with significant warpage (fixed with heat, so again, not a full point).
Almost a perfect figure. |

9, I've reserved 10 for the top of the top figures, CG is close though. I didn't notice the mismatched coloring, fun choice of weapons though some were expecting the M14 instead, I prefer this color over the retro especially over the silver mask.

I went with 10. I didn't think anything would surpass Alley Viper, but Crimson Guard is pretty much perfect.

Perfect 10. If he would have come with a removable helmet with a Fred head underneath - he would have been an 11.

The color/texture is somewhat dull for a group of elitists and the head sculpt is a letdown after the great Cobra trooper/officer sculpts.
