Hello!
I found some Cobra Troopers from the 25th line. I thought the Trooper v14 was only available with a red face mask (as it has the "comic" blurb on the packaging), but I found one with a black mask, and it's definitely not repackaged. Is this a variant or a running change or what? Is either version more valuable/harder to find? Thanks! |

He was in a revision case that had all troop builders...I think it was also supposed to be an internet case but showed up at Target.

There were two versions-one with the red mask and one with the black. The red was supposedly harder to find.

He was in every wave 12 case, the black mask was only in a revision that was not nearly as mass produced or mass retailed.

the black masked one is supposed to be the variant and was only available (supposedly?) in the online only troop builder case from Hasbro. Some did show up at Target stores though too. The red masked version is the regular version for wave 12.

I found this revision case for sale at Marshalls. I left the snow serpent, crimson guard, and the cobra viper. I grabbed the Air Viper, Black Masked Trooper, and the python patrol trooper.

Cool, thanks for the heads up, guys.
Are there any differences between the revision case black mask trooper and the earlier black mask troopers, or are they the same figure with different packaging? |

The black mask trooper was originally only available in the Cobra 25th 5 pack. When Hasbro finally got around to releasing the figure carded at the tail end of 25th, you can expect some fairly standard changes, ie, the modified hip piece and back hole as standard. Other than that, they are the same.
