Yes it will be done tonight.

Looking forward to seeing the finished results.

If it's still possible, though, I would shorten the bottom edge of the mask a bit before continuing on: looking at it again, the current sculpt appears to place CC's head slightly further above his shoulders than should be humanly possible.

Cobra Commander

Modifying the head height and trimming the lower part of the Hood tonight.






Regular Version

Lowered. Will trim lower part of Hood.

Got my CC in today. He really is awesome but my one quibble is why couldn't they give his boots a gloss finish. That would've really completed the high ranking military leader look for him.

[Cyclopswc]

Finally opened my Cobra Trooper. He'll be the squad leader if/when the regular troops arrive. He's near perfect, the only thing I can't stand are the pegs that stick out of the guns, so I cut them off and made custom slings for them.

That looks phenomenal! Hasbro should be ashamed of themselves if they can't match your hooded CC. They should have included the hooded head in the 1st place. Probably saving it for next month's Target exclusives...

Red Ninja is the only one I haven't seen in the wild, do have one pre ordered at Pulse though...Seems like my Target has replaced the Joes with those Reaction Mcfly and figures on their hooks. Are the joes not getting restocked as much at Target? Granted I know they're made in China, which is a bit ironic considering the toy...

That came out really nicely.

I found one the other day, actually. Not really planning on keeping it, though (hoping I can trade him for Beachhead).

I've never seen them at Target (granted I'm not regularly checking) and last time I looked they don't even have pegs marked for them anymore. Makes it suck that much more that Firefly, the one guy I was looking forward to most from this line, is going to be Target exclusive. Hopefully they pull a Cobra trooper and turn out the mass retail version shortly.

I imagine they will, just without the bomb disposal vest haha

Uh, I am really struggling to come up with more picture ideas for my Joes since I don't have any Cobra troopers to have them fight.

No one to blame but yourself.

You could have. They were right there!

(sorry, rubbing salt into old wounds. Ha ha.)

I bought a second 01 Snakeyes to open, and I have to say...this guy feel fragile as hell. As a mainly Legends collector, I felt like the ab crunch and swivel were as loose as any figure I’ve ever owned out the box. Hopefully I just grabbed a bad one, but the build lends itself to fragility, IMO. Still a damn cool figure, but I’ll have to treat him like fine china when posing.

You’re not alone. My SE is a bit unstable as well. It helps if ya just plug the sword into the back hole and ditch the backpack........but he’s still a lil wobbly.

Curious, is this the first Joe you have bought? Because Snake-Eyes was my first and he is my least favorite figure of the lot. I will most definitely welcome them revisiting him down the line.

He’s the second I’ve take out the box. Roadblock was solid, no issues there. My collection is in storage now as we wait to get our house sold, so I’m trying to limit opening everything for storage concerns.

He definitely needs a revisit soon. I’m assuming that 00 Snakeyes is the same mold with better paint apps. If so, I’m glad I’m not going to pay scalper prices for him.

It's a $20 figure, nothing to be precarious about IMO. Doesn't seem like mine has any issues with looseness and he's the one I've been posing around with the most.

Jazzwares Apex Legends line look to be great add-ons to increase your army. Picked up Wraith yesterday...

The new Cobra Commander looks awesome! Wish Chris Latta was alive to see it.

[Dr Kain]

I don't know why, but I suddenly want Hasbro to do some GI Joe Extreme figures in the Classified line. I'd love an Iron Klaw/Lt Stone 2 pack. Make them an online exclusive or something so they don't peg warm.

Then again, I don't think GI Joe even knows the meaning of peg warming...

GI Joes do not collect dust, dust collects GI Joes.

Pimp Daddy Destro should be arriving tomorrow! Super excited as I've had him preordered for months now and passed on the standard Destro twice

[kenm2474]

Had the Hooded Head Lowered so his neck didn't look so long. LMK What you think.
