Released as part of the 2nd wave of the exclusive Target Tiger Force & Python Patrol series in January 2023. Fans of Python Patrol are pretty ecstatic that this figure is making his way to the Classified series. For the most part he is a straight repaint of the Cobra Officer figure, with just a few differences.
The Python Patrol Officer comes packed with the following gear and accessories: an assault rifle with a removable magazine and a removable sight scope, a removable helmet, a gun with a removable ammo clip, a pistol, a removable backpack holster and a dagger. **Fans will note that Hasbro finally corrected the naming mistake from 1989 and released this figure as the "Officer" instead of the "Trooper". Oddly enough, this figure's upper torso and lower arms still use the trooper's parts for some inexplicable reason. 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!!!

Giving him an 8. Not the world's biggest PP fan, but I can't lie, this figure is very nice.

I'll give it 7, could've given him 8 though. He's kind of fun if you're tired of Cobra's blue taking up your self, rifle-sheath doesn't stay on well, tired of the medium skin tone on these guys, yellow helped the texture pop out.

Yeah, Lenny confirmed on the con floor in San Diego last week that the slide was a typo and the upcoming PP figure is the Trooper.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm surprised that John Warden would allow that error on the slide since he was a part of that panel, unless they didn't notice the mistake until the panel was underway.

I think you're right and guessing they didn't realize it until the panel.

At this point why wouldn't Hasbro just keep intentionally labeling them wrong? Seems to be the way to do it.
Or would that still upset collectors?

I give him a 9. I gave the original Officer a 10 and the only real difference here is the colours, which aren't as nice as the original. Using the Trooper torso, instead of the Officer, isn't a big deal as they aren't all that different.

Gave him an 8. I am a huge fan of the office and this one is almost as good. I actually really like the color scheme on this one. But wish they had painted the chevron on the helmet and the cobra logo on his chest so they stick out more. Am a fan of Python Patrol so really like this addition to the sub team.
