I bought this set because of the cobra Commander. If memory serves, this is literally the only time since the original 1982 to 1994 series that we’re getting that cobra Commander mold. So that alone sold me on this set. Don’t get me wrong, Duke is great too, but I would’ve just paid the $40 for the cobra Commander alone.

These are GREAT. I ordered a second set after receiving the first...only because I need a set to open! These are perfect especially for someone like me that grew up on O-Ring figures but nowadays does not want to pay exorbitant prices on vintage figures. I contemplated that many times in the past, but to start from scratch buying old worn figures at top dollar was not such an appealing option. I waited for a LONG time for Hasbro to come around and decide to try the old recipe again and thought it would never happen. But, here we are and there they are. Excellent time to be a Joe collector. Now I can start the collection off new again. I just hope they stick with it and do not drop it like they have done with so many lines.

I was way on the fence about this set, but after seeing all of those tasty accessories, this became a must buy for me. I'm a card on the wall display guy, but now I want 2 sets so I can open one. I also thought they resculpted parts of the bodies, but it looks like mostly just repaints (which I prefer) & new head sculpts (I prefer the Duke to the OG but like the old CoCo head with the pointy mask better). Thanks for posting this video.

That was good review. I liked comparsion between the new O-Ring and the vintage one. The rifle is a XMLR-3A laser rifle and the braided cord and tassels on the flag is just that a braided cord with tassels. An interesting note with the braided cord and tassels, it's used with indoor flags. The flag that was included with Duke got me thinking, (and forgive me for going off topic,) being that we're going to get a Classified C.C. with a regular COBRA sigil, (like you I'm encouraging Hasbro to charge us more money,😂🤣😂) Hasbro should make that C.C. a deluxe set that comes with a soft goods COBRA Command flag and throne.

Hasbro: "hey look we made a new V.1 Cobra Commander from an all-new mold after losing the original so you can get it again!" The fans: "that's great, so how come you didn't do the same for Snake Eyes V.2 instead of giving us the 50th reissue of the first one?" Hasbro:

Hasbro: "Because people always buy pretty much any Snake Eyes no matter what, so we figured we could sell them this one that less people want now and then turn around and make the more requested one later and the same people will buy that, too." The customers: "Shut up and take my money!"

Anyone that has any input, please feel free to chime in...

I love almost everything about the Duke figure except his lopsided face. That's a serious problem. I bought this set and my Duke's eyes are just as wonky as yours. What happened there?
