Really like CC

I agree. Cobra Commander looks awesome. No wonder the rest of High Cobra Command were so jealous of him that wanted to replace him with Serpentor. He is way too bad .

I usually don't like a ton of extra detail in Destro's black jacket, but at this scale and with this material these flourishes look pretty good.

I have all the Sideshow 1/6 Cobra figures and was up for replacing them with ThreeZero's offerings. Which I did that with Storm Shadow, but passed on Firefly. Firefly looked great, but not a significant improvement over the Sideshow version. Sideshow Stormshadow was faithful to the comic, but somewhat dull in comparison.

I was absolutely looking forward to their Cobra Commander. I never liked how Sideshow did the battle mask. The chrome front was more of a weird faceplate and not a wrap-around piece like it should have been. ThreeZero's portrait appears superior in design, but if they don't make the faceplate chrome in the final version, it will be a huge miss. I do prefer Sideshow's CC uniform over ThreeZero's. Especially the single piece boots. ThreeZero's two piece boots might be better for posing, but the obvious gaps in the two sections are off-putting.

Finally, I don't think I'll be replacing Sideshow's Destro. ThreeZero's version looks like he's wearing some sort of S&M top. Admittedly that is probably realistic considering his relationship with the Baroness. However, I feel like that's more of an "in private" outfit. Of course, maybe that's what ThreeZero is going for? *shrug
