My wishlist is very short.
1. ARAH/Sunbow Cobra Commander - I am desperate to get rid of the abomination that is passing for Cobra Commander in Classified. 2. Jinx - the only Joe they haven't done that I have strong feelings about. 3. Female Cobra Troopers in the style of the Club figures 4. EELs 5. Some type of Joe Trooper (Greenshirts, not the Steel Brigade) I would buy a lot of other figures, but those are the only ones that I would be super excited about if they were announced. |

Abomination? The Cobra Commander we got puts the cartoon design to shame. He actually looks like a threatening leader who has a backup plan for a backup plan for a backup plan the way CC should be. It's like the took his design from the comic books and mixed it with his Resolute one to give us the ultimate CC.

He's wearing, at best, a double breasted doorman's jacket with a watch chain (at worst, it's an old style bellhop uniform). He has a sword that won't fit in the scabbard (a common problem with the early figures). For whatever reason, he's wearing one epaulette like a junior officer in a Horatio Hornblower novel, and that epaulette is inexplicably attached to his absurd belt (which is wrapped around him; look at it, it's doubled up at the waist). For some reason his collar is asymmetrical and looks ridiculous if you shine a light on it (there's a reason, I think, they didn't finish the paint apps there). And, of course, like all the Blackout nonsense, he has all kinds of weird trim everywhere (silver on the retail release, gold on the Regal). I'll forgive the racing stripes on his pants because the vintage had that, but they still look quite silly.

It's a joke of an overdesigned figure. Lenny's team wouldn't come close to this level of ineptitude if they were doing the figure today. It's a huge shame CC was done before the line got going and the current team could only flail about and try to fix the colors from the Blackout art.
If they ever redo CC I hope that they just fully do the Resolute design instead of the old boring look. The other issue is I associate the cartoon design with a coward who will run away from battle at the drop of a hat and has no counterplans when things go awry. Quote:
I've gotta side with JScott on this one. The Snake Supreme gets a temporary stand in spot for sheer batshit-over-the-topness, but the minute they give us one that tosses out the Blackout aesthetic, I'll be donating it to a fellow tanker or throwing it away. Looking at the CCs we've gotten so far, I feel as though I should be giving him a tip.

I stopped buying/playing with GI Joe toward the end of '87 wave. My must haves are every figure from 83-87 that I had or wish I had (stopping at Tunnel Rat, I did buy a Tiger Force Duke in '88). I bought a few Classified Alley Vipers so I'm not against buying later figures, but don't have an emotional attachment making them mandatory.
I'm hoping for a 40th Anniv. Special Wave 1 Green Shirt Collection (Breaker, Flash, Grunt, Rock 'n Roll, Short-Fuze and Zap)! |

While I can't say that I love the Snake Supreme because he's still built on that god-awful buck, I enjoy the crazy design elements and appreciate the inclusion of his classic pistol rather than the Long John Silver bullshit that comes with the other two.
Also, I'd be inclined to disagree when it comes to color: Take when he paralyzes Hawk in the Image Comics/Devil's Due Publishing (DDP) line. In real-time his color scheme is black while in Hawk's flashback it's blue. I just think that design looks so much better blue than black. However, I will say there are designs where he looks really good in black, and those are designs where his overall look is changed like his Retaliation and IDW designs. |
