Like hell it is!
THAT will sell with kids. Heck, I may even want one. I think that's a cool looking figure. Even if it doesn't look like the Cobra Commander we all know.
That figure looks gross and cool. Kids will eat it up.
I got 5 bucks that says he becomes a peg warmer if Mike wants to make a bet. Maybe not at first, but when the movie hype dies down if think you'll see Crap Commander there, along with Rip Stalker Cord, Breaker and Scarlet all warming the pegs.
Unless he is short packed, the movie Cobra Commander will be fighting off dust bunnies and clearance stickers.
At the end of a movie run, all figures are peg warmers. So that's not fair.
When I had the store, there were figures that were peg warmers as SOON as the case came out (CS1 Triple H for example).
So if you want to say this figure won't sell, and will be a peg warmer, I'll take you up on that bet - but it has to be from initial release.
Example: Wild Bill was a peg warmer right from the start.
I say it won't be a peg warmer. My $5.00 is CND however... not U.S. ;-)
