Sideshow 12″ COBRA Commander preview picture

Posted on by

sideshow.gifSideshow Toys has posted a preview picture of their upcoming 12″ COBRA Commander figure on their website here.  It’s a small picture, only from the chest up, but what can be seen looks pretty incredible.

Evidently drawing some serious inspiration from the G.I. Joe: Reloaded series, COBRA Commander comes decked out in his classic hood and nicely layered black trench coat.  An amazing looking figure…but will it be worth the hefty price tag?  Discuss this in our forums!

Also make sure to keep your eyes peeled to JBL all this week as Sideshow promises to reveal more details at SDCC, and we’ll make sure to have the news here!
