Cobra Shadow Guard troops specialize in nighttime operations. They blend into the shadows on missions of sabotage. They’ve developed their own hand signal system that even other divisions of Cobra troopers are not privy to. Also, they enjoy every opportunity to enhance their air of mystery. When they spot Gung-Ho doing night recon on a Cobra base,they silently surround him and prepare to attack the G.I. Joe team member. Check out 20+ images and our quick review after the jump courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Cobra Shadow Guard
Pros
Solid Army Builder
Cons
It’s packed with Gung-Ho making it pricey to Army Build.
Overall
I personally will not be army building this figure but I know it’s in high demand. The fact that it comes packed with Gung-Ho is already making this a pricey figure to Army Build. It’s still nice to have the one sitting on the shelf and fits in with my Black SDCC Cobra Commander nicely.

The only troop builder I want from this wave. Hopefully he'll be plentiful if people only want Gung-Ho from the pack.

It's a good figure. My only problem with it is that they failed to put a Cobra symbol on his chest under the vest.Yet they took the time to put paint apps on the buttons and the eagle. I may pick up one or two more of this pack. It sucks that this item is only one per case. I think the CC Shipwreck pack will be the Peg Warmer. The Troop build up pack is OK but they should have given us a modern Cobra Officer/Tele Viper pack instead.

Anyway, my avatar <<<< , that's basically what I'd like to see.

Awesome pics!
This Shadow Siegie works a lot better than the regular one (which should have had a different torso), since it looks a lot more like a commando o SpecOps CG.
This pack is great. You get an army builder, and Gung Ho which is and incredible fodder figure. Nobody should have troubles to get rid of the xtras with so many customizers and such an incredible useful figure.
If anything, the BIG pegwarmer is going to be that yet-another-Blowtorch and yet-another Croc Master, two figures that don't need (and almost none called for) and update. At least, they had the decency to put 1 per case, but still...
Personally, I'm still debating wether to buy the whole case (the only way to get that damned Gung Ho) or not. And this Shipwreck is actually one of the few figures I want.

I like the Crimson Guard, but not in black... so this figure, while amazing, is just "meh" for me.

I'm a big fan (not a hardcore collector) and what sells me on Joe, are the strong distinctive characters, like Shipwreck. That's the real hook.

I just realized I need black parts fro my custom Rollbar.
I think a dark CG looks cool, but I'm fine with my red ones from Retaliation.

Then again, I'm probably the only one that doesn't like the new Crimson Guard head sculpt we got with v16. I also HATE those damn Snake Eyes legs especially for a Siege.
