I've never even seen this version of CC before, but he looks great! He can just as easily be a high powered lackey in my display. And hey, IGUANA!I have absolutely no connection to that version of Cobra Commander but I want it just based on badassedness. And iguana.
So.. Im just looking at the entertainment earth ad that has these up for Pre-Order. BBTS still has the old set for sale because they didnt sell out, so it had me wondering... since EE is soliciting a PRE-ORDER with pictures that look different, is this actually an updated, repainted set? Or is it a deceptive ad with a pre-order for old stock being re-solicited? I was hoping someone might knowAre you comparing yours to renders? Hasbro's renders are always darker than the real thing, especially dark greys. My set from when they first came out looks like the StG shots with the destroyed Dragonfly parts laying about

I kind of look at it like the other guy is a friend who has become more and more flaky over the years. Yes they are still a friend, but they cancel plans, become less reliable, and eventually they ghost you at certain times. During those times you meet a new friend and they seem to be more reliable so you just naturally hang out more and more with them. You don't hold any animosity to the old friend, but you just naturally hang with the new friend because you can rely on them more consistently.Is it ok to post here? I feel the kinda guilt you only get when you go to Wendy's every Friday for lunch for a year, but it Lents and McDonalds has a sale on fish filet sandwiches so you cave in and leave the Wendy's line and go across the street to McDonalds. It's a very specific form of guilt.
Anyhoo, I think Sympathizer Slaughter is just a cover story to infiltrate Cobra, meets Mercer, than helps him escape and turn turncoat.
It would be a bit awkward hanging with them if they were dead.Is the old friend still alive?
Besides online, I'm hoping the local collector who returns Joes to Walmart ordered an extra Crystal Ball he doesn't need. I found one or two of nearly all the Walmart exclusives in Clearance aisle right after the time they were shipping. If it wasn't for him I might not have bought a retro carded Snake-Eyes.And for those worried about Crystal Ball and Walmart — let's not forget how many clearanced Night Force sets we were all buying (and returning) just a few weeks ago. I missed the preorder and am not concerned in the least about picking him up at some point.
