G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Commander In-Hand Gallery

Posted on August 21, 2020 at 2:14 pm by Tony_Bacala under G.I. Joe Classified, Photo Shoots

Yesssss.  The Commander has joined his Cobra troops in the Classified ranks with #06 Cobra Commander.  Part of wave 2, he comes packed with Gung Ho and the Red Ninja.  3 to a case, so other than Classified being on fire and blowing out everywhere, he should be relatively easy to find once things normalize.  This is his dark blue standard deco – he also has a Regal variant coming with a brighter blue, and a Snake Supreme variant which is even darker blue with red and gold highlights.  In package he has a dagger and gun – both with a snake theme, plus 2 extra hands – a closed fist and pointing finger.  There is a lot of painted detailing going on with the face mask, helmet, shoulder, buttons and chain, dagger and gun, Cobra emblems and leg stripes.  He also has a molded cape attached to overlay gear that is not easily removable.

We’ve run Cobra Commander through a session, read on to check out 50 HD shots and some additional thoughts.

You can view all our previous galleries for G.I. Joe Classified here.  We will also be updating the HissTank Database with base shots for each figure too.

This set comes courtesy of Dorkside Toys, hit them up if you want to sit back and have it all delivered later in the year!

G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Commander

Overall Thoughts:

Sssssssuperb.  Dig it.  A nice modern upgrade to the boss.  Tones are not crazy bright, but not dull either.  Paint is well done, but on my copy a bit sloppy.  Lots of rogue silver splotches, and even some black splotches on the leg. End results if done cleanly is great though.  Appreciate the extra hands as well.  Not many downsides for me other than the cape.  I am ok with the molded cape but it should be easily removable.  Having him sit down in a makeshift throne requires effort.  His lower jacket also doesn’t bend with the figure well and forces a pop up in sitting stance.  Can be done, but needs focus.  Sculpt wise it’s solid head to toe.  Less range in ab crunch, but not loose.  Articulation otherwise is super top level with all points there like the rest of the line.  Bottom line, was happy with all of wave 2, the line seems to have evened out since Wave 1.  If it keeps on this path I’ll be a happy camper.  Other than needing to buy everything on eBay at inflated prices. :/

Check out some key shots, with full set of 50+ after that!

    Did up our shots for Wave 2. Happy with them all. Feel free to use this thread for discussion about the actual figures from Wave 2, share your thoughts on em too, etc. First up, Gung Ho.

    I'm overall happy with the figure. Expecting him to be like the 50th Anniversary figure would be a stretch. Still, I wish they had made him bald, but it's an easy enough thing to customize. Some of us can't change hairstyles cause it all fell out. LOL

    What do people think is the in-universe explanation for the pupil-less eyes? Are they robots (like Shredder's Foot Soldiers)? Blind?

    I wonder what the out-of-universe explanation is too.

    I like the secondaries on the red ninjas, don't really like the coloring (should be bright red) and hate the head. I suppose it is a nod to the nightcreepers, but I feel they are blah too.

    Good question. In-universe maybe some lenses for night sight?

    Out-of-universe probably just a design decision. If you'd put some pupils into their eyes they look less menacing (at least to me).

    Ha, my bad. I'm working my way there too.

    Yeah, super future tech heads up display google glass contact lenses. And then all white because Dr. Mindbender thought it was cool.

    The night creepers are what I was thinking of in the FP story, being a thing in past. Now that you said that, there's the eventual repaint.

    Hopefully we get a tight hood version later, Retaliation style.

    I'm going to be a bit weird and say that I think I would have liked the red ninja if he was some sort of character like a red ninja leader. As a trooper the figure just doesn't work for me. When they announced the figure I had my hopes up for a simpler design that could also be used as a Hand ninja.

    Looks like I'm going to have to hold out for either Marvel Legends doing Hand ninjas at some point or that Hasbro will repaint a Storm Shadow figure because Hasbro does love those repaints.
