Oh man.

I don't like Super 7 prices but that Snake Mountain was genuinely an
amazing achievement.

It's funny, I wasn't even collecting when MOTUC was going strong, but I happened to be browsing BBTS one day when I saw they had the S7 Snake Mountain in stock (from canceled preorders I guess?) so I decided "fuck it!" and then I spent the next couple years tracking down all the other figures in the line

Man, of all the playsets I had, the Fortress of Fangs was the coolest. There was something about the treasure chest hidden in shadow, with the stalagmite bridge that folded down, the slide, the spiked wall... and that incredible box art. I still remember assembling it on Christmas morning.

I'm just amazed that over the years that of all the playsets Hasbro offered, they never attempted a Cobra/Silent Castle. Even if it were just three levels tall, as long as the front facade looked remotely close to either the comic or cartoon, fans would eat it up even if just for display.

I am right there with you. This was always a Cobra outpost for me so they could battle CRYSTAR and D&D and all the 3 3/4 baddies. I miss the old days.

Can't wait for the new CRYSTAR, got to figure out how he crosses over the GI JOE.

The Crystar Castle was one I never had but wanted. It's genuinely awesome.

I recall wanting The Cyrstar Castle. I was disappointed to later learn as an adult that the plastic quality is apparently like packaging blister grade or something.

Power Lords Vulcan Rock was a nice base, but the scale was for larger figures, though. But you could hide small Cobra vehicles inside it.
