Default COBRA CLAWS COMMANDER : YAY or NAY!

Ok, I thought it over. Let's see what the posse here really thinks of the new characters. I am going to put in a lot of different aspects on the YAY or NAY side so while there may be positives, there will most likely be negatives too.

TARGET : COBRA CLAWS COMMANDER

A leader for the Cobra Claws.
Removable Helmet.
Helmet fit well on head and matched the mask on the face.
Decent sculpt, especially in head.
Mostly ARAH construction.
Gorilla arms.
Model used for Tomax & Xamot later on.
Got some use in the DD comic
Came with a brown knife & auto rifle.
Is an actual character, not a generic leader like a Cobra Officer.

The arms need to be swapped out, but I like it!

Yay!

A great character poorly executed on the arms. But replace them with the DTC Crimson Guard and fine.

Unit leaders for different types of troops are always welcome. Saves me making up customs!

to many troops already, what, the crimson guards werent good enough?

i guess its no surprise that i dont like them. you can almost guess i i wont like any of them and outrider will because i like the 25th, which are classics remade and he doesnt because he wants new characters. i guess it really matters if you want or dont want new characters. i did like the figures however, i think they were made much better then the ARAH stuff. just dont like new characters.

I used him in my Team Bravo story about 2 years ago, so I think this character is pretty cool. Overall, I think the sculpt is pretty good as well, but I do agree that the arms he came with could have been better.

I remember him giving orders to Bama to capture some Joes at the jungle.
