A few years ago, pictures of a new style 3.75″ Cobra Commander surfaced on the web. Much more futuristic in nature, this was a sleek new take on the “most dangerous man alive”. Unfortunately, the 3.75″ line went on hiatus and the design was instead moved to the 8″ scale Sigma 6 line…. until now!
Check out the review of the 2008 Collector’s Club “Robot Rebellion” Cobra Commander figure at GeneralsJoes.com!
