Much, much better.

Opened Cobra Commander, gave him shiny boots. You know Cobra Commander is the type of guy that'd have someone spit shine his boots. His grasping hand and pointing hand also give him a lot of character.

Man i wish they'd just included that head with the fig. Knowing hasbro they’ll use the hooded head as some halfassed exclusive.

[Dr Kain]

That hooded head does look pretty damn cool. I prefer CC with the battle helmet, but it would have been nice if Hasbro had given us both options. But then, they wouldn't be able to sell us to him again later.

Thanks to a new user on TFW, I am now the proud owner of this guy:



My intial impressions so far are that the figure itself is well sculpted and quite badass looking. Unfortunately, I don't get why Hasbro gave him green colored accessories as that just seems so weird. Furthermore, the backpack doesn't sit directly on his back, rather, it seems to curve upward so it looks like is is being lifted up by some magical force or something. The berret is cool, though I don't know why Beachhead needed one.

Flint and Stalker will both use it so it's probably easier to have his be wearable rather than sculpting it into his vest like the classic version- because then they could only use that vest on characters that have berets but don't wear them. ...So just Hasbro trying to part share as much as possible. lol

Wow, I never realized that's what it was. I thought that was a rope.

Anyway, here are some pics:

Sigh.... Someday I will end up breaking down and paying out my butt for Beachhead. He is the only Joe I have not found in the wild.

Honestly, I'm glad I only paid the extra for shipping and not the figure itself. He's a great figure, but not worth more than the original price. The guns being all green makes no sense and sucks, but the worst part is I feel like his hip joints might be cracked or something since they drop down quite easily whenever I pick him up similarly to how my Figuarts would that had cracked hip joints.

Maybe that IS Destro. Role playing can keep things exciting ya know.

Just approved the delay on my Storm Shadow. I’m just going to assume I’ll never see that delivery. It was supposed to deliver today....Amazon dropped the ball somewhere.

Nope not the trooper fault got to choke his lady

Seems like Baroness is being restocked all over at Targets... or scalpers are returning her before the 3 month return date expires. I have never seen Beachhead restocked though... I bet Beachhead ends up being the hardest to find Classified Joe. And I wonder if Classified Target Heavy Duty Roadblock ever reaches grail status one day. Like people ignored him, but then suddenly one day every one wants him.

If you're going by reports on Hisstank, those sightings are random and sporadic, I hardly would make the conclusion that they're being "restocked". That remain to be seen. That's certainly not the case where I am.

With all the shipping delays worldwide and in the US, it might be that Target is finally getting products through their distribution system. Amazon is not the only company to have Covid-19 go through their warehouses.

I hope so! I do hope that one day we will walk into Target and there will be CI Cobra Troopers and Baroness hanging on the shelves. But until that day come, or that it's officially confirmed by Target/Hasbro somehow, please don't give me hope. My heart can't take much more.

(ha ha!)

Not sure how I feel about the design for Lady Jaye. She seems to have the basic Lady Jaye aesthetic, but the "hi-tech" lower leg armor and the asymmetrical arm bracer kinda throw-off the look, imo.
