Hood or Helmet

Next up is the leader of Cobra, the one and only Cobra Commander. I really think this figure is the perfect representation of the Commander. A very tall and lean looking figure who is not armed to the teeth. He simply has a sidearm and a removable knife.

The figure comes with both the Hooded head as well as the mirrored masked helmet head. The Helmet on the masked version is removable and the mask itself is mirrored (reminiscent of the cobra vipers helmet).

While not loaded for bear with weapons cobra Commander does have his own accessory, what is essentially a portable FANG backpack. Perfect to make a quick escape. The pack comes with two blue bombs that snap into the pack.

In my opinion this figure is the perfect representation of what Cobra Commander should look like. While he's a Retaliation figure he screams 80's cartoon/comic Cobra Commander which just does it for me

I plan to retire (read sell) almost all my old CC's when I get this one.  Very cool looking.

Yeah, honestly I'm not sure what would make this figure any better. I'm actually going to order one more just because he's so cool

glad to hear he's as good as the pics, order me 1 yesterday. someone on hisstank made the comment that the only thing that would've made this CC the best ever would to have made him able to hold the pistol on his back like the old school version, while not neccassary i gotta say i agree. but still great looking figure

I finally have a review button up on the front page for this. I do apologize for not getting to this sooner. I will endeavor to get better with these as reading your reviews is something I enjoy.
