I think python patrol works better as a commando unit that's how my friends and I used them when we were kids. Each member was at the top of the cobra forces an were picked to be special unit.

@affoster79 7 жыл бұрын

I began collecting Joe in late 1988 so Tiger Force and Python Patrol was the only way to get older figures and vehicles. The Python Vipers and Officers were my front line soldiers for Cobra till I could get the original versions.

@DarkWizard83 4 жыл бұрын

I've had the theory (and have wondered if there was any reality to it) that Tiger Force and Python Patrol were a way for Hasbro to reintroduce characters that were heavily featured in the original Sunbow cartoon (which would be in syndication and home video at this point) but which were no longer in stores, and get kids who were watching to cartoon reruns hooked onto the current Joe line.

@JB0071051982 4 жыл бұрын

@@DarkWizard83 It makes sense to me, since I continued to watch the Sunbow cartoon in reruns and as a result I wanted to purchase many of the action figures of the characters featured. Tiger Force Duke was the first version of Duke that I owned. Likewise Slaughter's Marauders appealed to me for the same reason, get new versions of popular characters from the cartoon. I never got any Python Patrol action figures back in my childhood, although I wanted to get them. Hopefully down the road I can get some, I would not mind getting more of the modern sculpt Python Patrol figures either.

Love Python Patrol agree completely that there are worse figures like the non crimson crimson guard banana suit and the televiper I love the officer and Trooper I hope to see more reviews in the future also the Star Trek skit was awesome thanks to die cast enterprise for sponsoring hcc788 so we can get this content bring back the comic reviews every now and then I really enjoyed them

Ever wonder why they have goggles on their helmet when they have a face shield?

@ExecutiveSonda 6 жыл бұрын

The original Jackal My theory is that incase the faceplate cracks or goes missing, they switch to the googles.

@anionhero 5 жыл бұрын

I have always wondered that myself. I was thinking maybe they were afraid people would think it's Cobra Commander in yet another uniform.

@white-dragon4424 4 жыл бұрын

As was said previously, it's almost certainly reserve eye protection in case the visor is damaged.

@MrKersey 3 жыл бұрын

My theory is that the goggles are night vision or something similar that enhances vision and they could be used over the face plate. Other possibility is that face plate is removable and goggles are used in combination with typical Cobra balaclava.

@robertlogan5354 Жыл бұрын

those goggles are useless. how does he pull them down to his eyes? the strap is threaded through loops on the helmet, both on the figure and the card art.

I like this figure, but I think they should have left the face plate silver, like the original. Had they done that, painted those arm straps, this would have been a top notch figure.

I love this figure and I am thinking quite a lot about 1989 and when I saw Python patrol figures sold. Now my memory was I only saw them for sale when I was in New York in October 1989 but never saw them ever here in Los Angeles as well as Arizona or Texas all places I was going to frequently in 1989-90 and always checking the toy shelves for new GI Joes. I was always sad not to have found them again as I wanted to get some of the other figures and now in retrospect wonder why I never saw them outside of NY City?

As a joe collector I severely hate Python Patrol and Tiger Force. It worked on the business level to reuse old molds but as a kid and into an adulthood I truly hate them.

I rather liked them, but I was born in '84. Which meant Python Patrol was my first chance to own any of those figures, except for the Crimson Guard I'd inherited from my older brother.

I did exactly that with the rifle. I hated the subsets because they weren't new figures. But if I saw a reason I would pick one up. I wanted the head and the rifle on the Viper and I put it on the old Viper and made him awesome. And then I took the gray and yellow pants and I put that on the second Dr Mindbender. I also got a Slaughter's Marauder Bazooka but that's cuz Bazooka's rad. The rest of the rehash subsets are dumb. Ha

I almost army build my with this viper. Lucky I only found 3 when it first came out. But I did get the set. But not the vehicles since I had the originals. I only wanted them because my original versions were all worn up. I mostly keep these guys as Dessert troopers. One Question. Who's the person that sings these songs. Like Python patrols theme song. Heck. Who sings the original opening for the Joes.

@mattlerch531 7 жыл бұрын

wasn't the starfleet insignia on the other side of your shirt before your pythonization. the file card has a glaring error. if the vipers are the bottom rung of the ladder, then where do the python officers and python troopers fit in. overall the figure is a definite mid tier.

@sirkowski 7 жыл бұрын

2spooky4me Python Patrol complicates even more the difference between Vipers and original troopers. Vipers are the backbone and troopers are basic infantrymen? Sounds like the same thing.

sirkowski python patrol officers are standard cobra troopers and pp troopers are Cobra officers. it's an upside down pyramid. I don't even know what pp guards do.

Always the fun tradition to see the new video on a Sunday afternoon. However Python Patrol was horrible to me as was Tiger Force and I didnt like them as well as the Marauders. It was so frustrating to see remakes of the orig figures I would have bought multiples of at the time in these horrible paint schemes. I kind of am gettign like you on the topic of Cobra-La so that should sum up my feelings on this sad era of the Joe line to me.

Pyhton patrol needs more reviews but it's sub team that is confusing. python patrol officers are my favorite of the team. I'm still confused about Copperhead and his piloting the Python Conquest on the box art.

It's funny that hasbro has been doing the same thing all this time, releasing the same figures over and over with just different paint schemes and call it something new. They even do it with the marvel line. I rather buy the original figure in it's original color scheme, I was never able to find most joes when I was a kid I had mainly cobras

@chevy-is-a-good-boy 7 жыл бұрын

Releasing the same mold in different decos is standard industry practice; just saying.
