beach head looks great so does duke. :beachhead :duke


cant believe i'm saying this but....i wish cobra commander came with a cloth suit! >< ah well...perhaps i have a spare blue shirt around. looking at him again....he isn't so bad. :)

That Beachhead head sculpt is bad @$$

CC is horrible :cry:

Duke's head sculpt is pretty good but perhaps over the top.....

I'm really liking the headsculpt on Duke.In fact I may skip the eventual Sideshow Duke and just throw an extra khaki shirt on this one for use as my default 12" Duke,plus I'm glad he just has a molded t-shirt since those don't bother me nowhere near as much as the molded sweaters.

And CC is gonna be army built as a Viper,I'm still gonna stick with my VvV CC,though that sword is gonna be put on him.

And Beach Head is great too,I love that rocket launcher though he's gonna get a different gun,never liked when the good guys came with Ak-47's for some odd reason.

Beachhead: nice headsculpt, best figure in the assortment.

Cobra Commander: stupid. terrible. worthless. pegwarmer.

Duke: seriously gay. His face looks like it got stuck in a compromising position.

I agree with everyone here:
Cobra Commander looks...odd. :cchelmet :?:

I, too, thought the figure was supposed to
be a Viper when I first saw it. Oh well, I'll
be using my 12" Valor Vs. Venom Cobra
Commander as my default CC. It'll be hard
to top that one in the mainstream market,
I guess.

Beachhead and Duke look great, though. :beachhead :duke

You know what I miss?

In Wave 1, there were these really cool
drawings of the characters on the cardboard
backings. By Wave 2, these were dropped
in favour of just an environment background.
I really liked the drawings. Oh well...

Saw Cobra Commander today, he has a belt buckle that says "CS"...huh?

Did Hasbro make some Confederate soldier at some point?

beachhead is the best of the wave by far imo (and the best of the line). i put new boots on him and it helped a lot. i actually like cc more than i thought i would. i got rid of the horrible 'cs' re-use belt (serioulsy hasbro? seriously?) and put a new belt, holster, etc on him.
