Tough choice, I like both figures a lot. Ultimately went Scarlett because I appreciate the updated musculature on her figure more than the novelty of the shiny faceplate. Doesn't hurt that she comes with a ton of stuff compared to CoCo as well. On the other hand, CoCo is the more iconic figure for the brand and the Retro release let me have his classic look without having to pay for someone's MickeyMouse Haslab figure.

No matter who loses, I think we all won when Hasbro decided to make these two.

I'm focusing on what I perceive as flaws because that's where I weigh my winners. Both of these figures are GREAT.

But it's hole in waist versus bad backpack & undersized blaster.

The hole is worse because I want to display Scarlett without the quiver belt and can't, while the Commander is fine without his backpack or blaster. (I'm not a fan of the vac metal faceplate, but that's a me thing, not a flaw)

But overall Scarlett is just a more striking figure to me.

Tough. But I had to go with CoCo. Such is my love for the figure.

It's arguably one of the five most iconic *faces* of the franchise and the Classified team nailed it. Anything less wouldn't have gotten me to vote against Scarlett (whose head I swapped anyway).

Both figures are awesome, but this Cobra Commander figure is all but perfect.

I need to pick up an extra copy before the price inflates just in case shit happens with the one I opened already.

Received phone call from local shop 25 mins ago about, a retro CC with a damaged package, and if I am interested. Yes sir!

Yeah...and he's gradually pulling away here too. I guess if a repaint of a HasLab figure with a touch of bling is enough to unseat the wonder that is Retro Scarlett, it can probably go the distance
