    Everybody wins. That’s why Hasbro is smart to make multiple versions of CC.

    I have regal preordered, will definitely get the SDCC, and would be lying to myself if I said I won’t pick up the standard version if I see it on the shelf.


    I wonder if we will see the Action Force repaints in Classified? They already fit in PDD.

    That is true, I like the fact that Hasbro has given us options for Cobra Commander. Emphasis on "Options" as most of us are getting all three :D

    That's a cool picture. As for your question, I prefer the lighter blue CC.

    I might end up mixing and matching parts and weapons from all three Cobra Commanders.

    ^Definitely!

    If I can hopefully land that SDCC Black CC, his bad mamma-jamma of a cape will go on the regal CC for sure.

    This. Considering how finicky it can be to paint a finely detailed embossed logo and make it look nice, I'd probably just wait for Hasbro to do it.

    Nope! Besides the other responses, why would I care if all the characters matched or not? This is a military sci-fi fantasy, not a pop music dance group. :p 
    Plus, I’m also going to try to get all three.

    Walked in to the local Target, saw a guy walking out with 2 of the GI Joe figures. I rushed over the toy aisle and they are all gone.
    I asked the employee that was close by and he said thats it, all they had is gone. GONE !!

    I just wish he had the yelling face like on the boxart! I know a lot of people prefer neutral expressions...but a hardcore snarl would be nice every now and then.

    This is just an odd figure to me. Or maybe I should say, odd choices. It doesn't say "Roadblock" to me, and by comparison, he's sort of dull for the line. But, I do like his head for Heavy Duty.

    From what I remember of my childhood toys the cc with this mask was lighter blue than the trooper I had, but then the one with a hood or drape type mask was actually darker and was closer in color to the troop.

    That said I like the pic you posted with the uniformity they have but since my cc will be on some type of throne (havent made one yet) and not intermingled with the troops i dont think i will mind the color difference much between the regal and the troops. Btw is anybody has seen a decent snake backed throne for the 1/12 scale let me know. I see customs of them for the 3.75 line but nothing for the 6inch.

    Hoping to see Hasbro add:

    *Shipwreck (yes, with Polly)
    *Quick Kick
    *Alpine
    *Flint
    *Tunnel Rat (with a younger Larry Hama's likeness)
    *Lady Jaye
    *Cover Girl
    *Doc
    *Hawk
    *Zartan
    *Breaker (with beard... he was the first Joe I owned as a kid)
    *Serpentor
    *a Classic Viper
    *Dr. Mindbender (I'm picturing him looking loke a younger David Cross, but with Mindbender's classic mustache and a cape)

    I'd go $45-50 for a Serpentor if he had classic look and his chariot. Think Baroness set.
