Default Finally time to Go After the '85 Cobras!

With the '85 single-carded Modern Era Joes done - there should probably be a comma in there, somewhere - it's time to give them someone to throw down with; and I'm starting with the '85 single-carded Cobra figures, in Modern Era form, of course.

So, which one(s) should I go after first?

Buzzer (25th)
Crimson Guard (HOH)
Eels (25th)
Ripper (25th)
Snow Serpents (25th)
Tele-Vipers (25th)
Tomax & Xamot (25th)
Torch (25th)

Have fun, all, and thanks!

I like the Eels! The newer ones weren't much of an improvement.

Do you want carded only or loose? I might have an EEL around. Also got 2 Cobra Divers around... I think. (while not 1985, the divers are nice addition if your EELs need someone to kick around)

I'd say go with the Twins too. But all the Dreadnoks are available too. Especially if you get the 7 pack which help round out such characters as Zanzibar, Road Pig and my fave, Thrasher. IIRC, the Buzzer head (or is it Ripper), can be used as a custom for Short Fuze since they never really did a 25A version of him. Just cut off the pony tail, paint the glasses and you're set.

Oh man - after looking up the twins on Ebay, I'd say that suggestion's spot-on!

I've always liked the 25th Eels, Hammerfel, so I'm glad to know they'll still work.

Sonne - err - Dr. Phibes, I usually go for carded, but I'm not too picky. Though for now, I'm sticking with the class of '85 so to speak. I know the Dreadnoks and divers will take me down a rabbit hole I'm not quite prepared for.

Yet

Have fun, all, and thanks for the suggestions!
