I!

Its an unconfirmed rumour at present, but supposedly MC and Hasbro are collaberating to release these figs as a Blueshirt 6-pack just prior to Christmas.
I have to disagree, I like the back. MC have done a great job with these.

Hehe......well, THAT holds no appeal for me whatsoever............

I wouldn't mind some Viper Chicks with the 'old school' mold......or even that cool Cobra operative that Lord Raven customized.........Now those I could really dig!!!

Female Troopers: Too Baroness in coloration and costume. Why sculpt a new torso that just seems like an existing character. Head sculpts are fine. No black haired or dark skinned females, which is kind of a shame, as there are 6 troopers, so there were 3 more variants they could've made. Which at more than $15 a figure, isn't too much to ask.

The debate about the open back, all I care to say is someone at hasbro likes the crossed lace-up look...check out unreleased Munitia's calves.

Cobra trooper legs are tad mannish. Hopefully that waist works with them, and there's no new bad-fitting parts fiasco.

Using old WW2 German weapons...which were in storage at a US army base...okay...

Female Officer: Lousy codename for a named character. Such characters never amount to squat (aside from Cobra Commander "Enemy Leader"), just ask Neo Viper Commander and CLAWS Commander. Another Cobra from Australia? Not very inspired, as Bludd and Dreadnoks hailing from or near there, plus some Operation MOTH Cobras. (more interesting that the USA, though) She's got red hair...Scarlett's evil twin? :p

Rock'n Roll: All Stalker 1989 body...that's boring. An okay figure...worth about $5 to me. If only that was the price. Rn'R's using an old .30 caliber or is that .50 caliber from Sgt. Savage.

Doc: Decent, if a little bland. (I can see them reusing the head sculpt for a new character) Why did they go the "Doc's neice" route? Why not daughter? Why the awkward codename? Looks like they added that medicine symbol to Lady Jaye's torso...interesting extra expense. A helmet would've been nice. Also she's a pacifist...but Lady Jaye's mold has a partially concealed pistol on her right ankle, which is still there.

Clutch: Nice explaining the stupid Double-Clutch name away. Better than the comic 3 pack...the logo helps sell the otherwise iffy vest. The half-painted boots look bad. I'm not a fan of creating boots that aren't there (Lamprey repaints) or ignoring ones that are. A guy who still calls women "chicks" fighting an all-female Cobra force...pretty amusing.

If they actually have the Mauler mold...I'm really gonna be annoyed. Hasbro phoned in so many RAH repaints, and Master Collector finds good stuff like the Ferret and Armadillo from last year. If the CAT 2 could've been a Mauler.... :mad:

But that's life. :cool:

Man, 250 bucks are to much expensive for me. I'll have to wait to buy that Clutch on eBay.

This set is looking better and better! ;)
