G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback Cobra Trooper, Collectible 6 Inch Action Figure with 9 Accessories

Everybody knows you need red shirts. And this Cobra Trooper is absolutely fantastic for troop building. I really dig the retro releases because it gives me an opportunity to pay up figures I missed. And most of the time the retrodecos are absolutely fantastic.

Love the great detail and amazing color's.

One of my favorite retro card back classified series figures so far.

The original Enemy Soldier gets the retro treatment in this Classified series. Great accessories, comes with a stand, but I've had better third party stands, I prefer the clear plastic ones over the solid color ones. Great articulation and detail.

This product is amazing for those who love to deny build bad guys and create a nice display. The paint apps are great and for the price you can’t go wrong. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Cobra and GI Joe in general.

Nice action figure to buy from Amazon. G.I. Joe classified are very hard to find on the store shelves. Just check out your Amazon account and order or pre-order and never have to be hunting at stores again for these action figures. Arrives at your house on the same release date, it would come out on the store shelves.

Retro Cobra Trooper has a great look, but using the web gear, guns, and helmet from different figures makes for a less than entirely satisfying army-builder. The figure's knees and elbows are the older-style with pins which is ok by me but may not fly for some; his outfit's got a deep blue coloring looks great, it doesn't match other Cobra Trooper figures but isn't too bright. He comes on that newly-robust GI Joe Classified Retro cardback, and he's very similar to the 3.75" so if you want one for the wall he's a winner. It's not a bad figure, but better accessory choices would have made me love the set a lot more and army-build it.This figure is where they take parts from existing figures and put them together to make a new release which isn't always a perfect fit, each of which is minor but put together left me somewhat frustrated:- The base body from the original Cobra Island Cobra Trooper but the web gear harness from Sgt. Stalker, so the web gear sits a little large and floats off the shoulders whenever you rotate or bend him at the waist.- The head is from the Cobra Officer figure, but the helmet is from that C.I. Cobra Trooper which is narrower, so putting the helmet on this figure causes it to bulge out and lose its hood shape.- The pistol, silencer, and knife come from Stalker and have leg holsters; meanwhile the submachine gun is from the Cobra Valkyrie and the sniper rifle is from Spirit Iron Knife, neither of which have any storage at all since they were designed to mount to those figures' backpacks and don't have their own back-pegs, since this figure doesn't have a backpack so there's no storage for them whatsoever.The only accessories left that I haven't mentioned are the Cobra-themed figure stand that every Retro Cobra-faction figure has, and the left shoulder cuff to denote rank, this is a repaint from the original C.I. Trooper and is fine by me, it's not that hard to remove if you don't like it.Using pinned double elbows and knees means they move more freely than the newer pin-less versions, and as an older figure he has a disk-hinged neck so he can look up and down great but doesn't have as much side-to-side tilt -- that increased range means he can look straight up which is great for prone sniper poses. Otherwise he has the same high quality articulation as other Classified figures, his left hand uses an up-down hinge while his right an in-out, which is generally backwards from how I prefer it. His drop-down hips are well-lubricated so there's no risk of seizing the way they used to a couple years ago.

If you're a fan of Cobra...you goota have the Cobra trooper !!!!
