Released in December 2023 as part of Target's exclusive Tiger Force & Python Patrol Wave 5 assortment, the Python Patrol Trooper has created some confusion in the Classified community since it was revealed during the SDCC panel in July. The original Python Patrol Officer and Trooper were incorrectly named back in late 1989 by Hasbro. When the Classified version of the Officer was released, the mistake had finally been corrected and the PP Officer was labeled as an "Officer". But when the Trooper was finally revealed during the panel, it was mistakenly designated as the "Officer" on its slide/render. Lenny clarified after the SDCC panel that this was an error on the slide/render and that it indeed should be actually called the "Trooper". Well fast-forward a few months later when the figure went up for pre-order, the mistake was never fixed and the PP Trooper was incorrectly labeled (again) as the PP 'Officer'. Making things more confusing is the fact that there are now two different PP Officers in Classified, even though this figure is actually the "Trooper". Another oddity is also the fact that this "Trooper" figure uses the Officer's legs, gloves and boots, weapons and webgear. The Python Patrol "Officer" (aka Trooper) figure is a repaint using parts from the Cobra Trooper and Cobra Officer. He also comes with an alternate head (like the recent Tele-Viper) with a darker complexion, so fans can have more display options and army build the PP Trooper and they won't all have to look alike, which is always nice when Hasbro does this.
The Python Patrol Trooper comes with the following weapons and accessories: an assault rifle with a removable ammo clip, a removable helmet, a gun with a removable ammo clip, a pistol, a removable backpack holster, a dagger, a pair of removable goggles, an alternate head and a removable rank arm band. 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!!!

Gave him a 7. I'm not typically a fan of the sub-team repaints at all, but this one is fairly good.

I don't like the long gloves. It's funny they want to update the troopers/officers look to more detailed and modern but now they got supervillain gloves. Also a broomhandled mauser?
Changeable heads are nice. But why are the masks different? |

Gonna give this one a rare 9 for me. It's just a great Python Patrol Trooper/Officer and I love seeing the goggles come back. The goggles really should've been included in every officer and trooper release

8/10
It's pretty good. Paint scheme is a matter of taste here. Because it's so muted, you can use him for other things besides Python Patrol.

I finally got mine and gave him a 7. I had a few issues with my figure that may, or may not, be endemic across the entire production run of these guys. First, I docked a point for the colour scheme. It's better than the officer, but still not great.
I also docked a point for the non-white head, because the goggles and helmet don't fit very well on it. The helmet sits too high and the goggles felt like they were going to snap trying to get them on, so I didn't push it. I think the non-white head is a little wider, is the problem. Lastly, I docked a point because the slots on the back, to store the extra magazine and the laser sight for the AK, are too small and I couldn't fit either item in their respective slots. I'll have to heat them up, at some point, and force the accessories in the slots and let them cool like that, I guess.
