Mystery figure!

Posted on by

thumbs_mysteryA mystery figure has shown up in a TaoBao.com auction.  Who could this be?  A Cobra or a Joe?  Maybe it’s the Charbroil figure that has been rumored in a resent Walmart listing?  Whoever this is, one thing is for sure it will get some attention.  Thanks to Justin at Gen. Joes for the heads up! Head over to the Lights! Camera ! Cobra! for the discussion.
