Classified Series Retro Cardback Cobra Trooper, Collectible 6 Inch Action Figure with 9 Accessories

At first I wasn't interested in buying these retro cobra troopers as I already own about a dozen of the Classified Cobra Infantry and it's Target Exclusive version that also happens to be called Cobra Troopers. But Prime Day had a good discount deal so I ordered 3. I really dig the bright blue paint apps, makes them pop out more than the dark blue paint apps on the classified versions. Nice assortment of weapons, better than the nerf guns but the plastic on the sniper rifle can be bendy after pulling out of the tray. The face sculpt and articulation feel great, perfect for posing multiple troopers in different stances. They're worth the value for army builders who don't have to spend a lot on the Cobra Infantry or Cobra Island Trooper.

Brand new highly detailed. High quality figure with a lot of accessories. Excellent to collect or play with. Great price too!

This figure strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and new-school design. The joints move smoothly, and the paint apps are clean. It’s one of those figures you can’t resist posing again and again.

Nice figures that I am using to crew my Flight pods so I can use the Televipers in my infantry squads!

This is a great figure, you get 3 guns, a knife, and a stand. I wish all figures came with this kind of load out. I think all figures need to come with a stand, a main weapon, a side arm, and a knife or machete.

Very cool. Always loved this figure as a kid in the 3.75 o-ring. The Classified version is superb!

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.

Love it. Speedy shipping great quality for collection purposes. I’m in a nerd. What can I say? Would definitely buy again from the seller.

Es más grande que las figuras de los 80's y 90's pero también articulado y conserva el estilo del empaque de esas décadas, aunque con menos y diferentes articulaciones. Los accesorios adicionales es igual de abundante. El detalle de los accesorios y partes del uniforme es muy bueno.

Item muito bem feito e com vários acessórios, a linha classified consegue mordenizar a linha Gi Joe mas sem perder a essência dos clássicos , recomendo

I’ve been collecting the Classified Series for a few years now, generally picking up the figures I like remember from my childhood days. When Hasbro started up the Retro Series of the G.I. Joe franchise, I saw many people posting about things they didn’t like, how the Retro Series wasn’t nearly as good as the Classified Series, and so on… I began buying after the Cobra Infantry figure was released so I wasn’t able to get one unless I bought it on the secondary market. So when Hasbro released the Cobra Infantry Trooper in the Retro Series, I immediately bought one from a Canadian collectibles shop. Then, when Amazon had their Black Friday Deals Week on, I ordered another one and decided that I would definitely open it and see what everything looked like in hand. There are a few details that separate the two versions of the Cobra Infantry Trooper. First off, the Retro version comes on cardback while the Classified Series version comes in the box with the fancy artwork. Another obvious difference between the two figures is the colour scheme of the uniforms on the figures. The Classified Series version comes in a beautiful, dark cobalt blue colour lightly accented in black and silver. VERY dapper. The Retro Series figure comes in a lighter shade of blue. A minor difference, but one that might be meaningful to a more dedicated collector. For myself, it doesn’t. And, perhaps the most noticeable difference… the details on weapons / accessories are far more basic than that of their Classified Series counterpart. The Retro Series version comes with all plain black weapons and accessories. However, in saying that, the Retro Series version of the Cobra Infantry figure is SOLID. The figure is well made, has great articulation in every joint, comes with a figure stand which is a nice addition, and has more than enough detail to easily stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of your G.I. Joe Classified figures. Perhaps on a character such as Firefly, Cobra Commander or Dr Mindbender, the Retro Series version may not be as detailed overall, but on an infantry style character like the Cobra Trooper, I feel like they fit seamlessly into any collector’s G.I. Joe collection. These figures make for great army building and look fantastic next to the Cobra Valkyries set. Figure: 5 out of 5 Accessories: 4 out of 5 Overall: 4.5 out of 5
