They look awesome! And there is one for every type: Blond, red and brunette!! But, I'm not sure about their helmet... look too much "Spaceball" to me.

Can someone explain it to me... we have 8 joes name:  1. Sgt. Clutch, 2. Doc (female), 3. Sgt. Flash, 4. Grunt, 5. Rock ?N Roll, 6. Sparks, 7. Sgt. Zap, 8. Lt. Claymore. But only 7 are pictured on the box.

Also, the description says: COBRA Officer (female) & COBRA Trooper (female). But there is a Cobra man in the picture (or "she" not shaved for awhile...).

Can someone buy me a set?

Martin

That's Lt Claymore.


This isn't the Claymore from the Brazil set, rather the Lt. Claymore from a comic issue, I believe. A cobra officer.

Joes:

Sgt. Clutch
Doc (female)
Sgt. Flash
Grunt
Rock ?N Roll
Sparks
Sgt. Zap


Cobras

Lt. Claymore
COBRA Officer (female)
COBRA Trooper (female) x6


That's the 15 figure set.

Female officer is up:



As I expected, the same figure with silver accents instead of red.

At least you can swap the head off the officer (if you have a double) with a soldier and you get four different looks.

And I think I am just going to post my comments here from now on.  I am sick and tired of the yearly whine about MC figures on certain message boards.   The revealing backs are offensive to some?  You have to be kidding me.  Look at Zarana.  She has just as much skin exposed and she is butch of a figure.  Plus they are F@*&^ing toys, not real uniforms.  Cover the back of figure with a backpack for all I care. I bet some some would rather be happy if they made a Brawler figure in a thong instead.

I agree with you on both points. In fact, while I know most people didn't like the dreadheads, I did and I swapped the heads on my second set just to increase their numbers.

As for the whole exposed back thing, I just posted my thoughts about them on another board but I thought it was funny, so I post it here as well. My take on the whole exposed back and how it relates to the battle field. It's just like a mullet, all business up front and a party in the back.

THey're toys for crying out loud and they are aimed for the collectors.
Its not like they were selling them on the pegs for some soccer mom to see and bitch about lol. Exposed back, it adds an extra edge to the figures. Its not pratical on the field, but it looks cool.

I wish on the 12" side we had cooler pictures. All we have for now is diving gear.
I want to see the figures!

(side note: I want to thank the people who posted on the club's board about the online newsletter's eventual deletion)

Close. He was in an two-part episode of the cartoon, The Traitor. Dusty joins Cobra, and Claymore gives him a hard time for the special treatment CC's giving him. They eventually fight in a pit slowly filling with piranah invested water. Dusty wins and later saves Claymore because he's still a good guy. Claymore saves Cobra Commander later in that episode. So you could say it's Dusty's fault Cobra is still around.

That Stalker mold was always one of my favorites but this one is just OK for me. Not amazing but not bad either. Sad part is I've been working with those pieces for some of my own customs and red rit dye so my stuff doesn't look that different then what they have, minus the head difference.

Liking Rock N Roll. VERY happy to see the comic pack head. So far, I'm impressed with this set.

I like that they went a different direction with Rock n Roll. As a rule I usually don't mix brown and grey, but it kind of works here.
