Theme Week - Your Favorite Cobra
Description: For this week's theme, showcase your favorite Cobra.

I realized I don't really have a definitive favorite Cobra like I do for Joe.  There, Flint wins.  But, for Cobra, the choices are broader.  Do you go with a character or army builder?  And, while I love the V1 Cobra Commander, I don't use his figure at all: mostly because it's brittle as hell and mine discolored.

For now, I'm going with the classic Cobra Trooper.  But, will ruminate on it a bit more as week goes on.

It's very hard to choose a favorite cobra character.  I ran out of time this week, so I really didn't get a chance to give this one much thought.  

This shot makes me wish I had tried to pick up a few original swivel arm troopers before the market went insane.

That was a great idea for a theme week! Not an easy choice!

Your combination of figures and the posing is fantastic. The original Cobra Trooper is awesome, and it's always good to see Destro in the field.

A choice you cannot go wrong with!

I gotta say, some of your early photography with 82 Joes vs. 82 COBRAs was some of my favourite. Shots from this series showed up in a few profiles, plus you have one with Zap and Stalker fighting off Officers I really liked too.


I wish I could do more of them.  I'm just terrified of breaking them if I get them out and try too much with them these days.  I used to have a 2nd set that was my "photo" collection.  But, I got rid of most of them and just have three or four guys.  My collection is getting to the point where there are so many figures who I'm loathe to use due to deterioration that I sometimes wonder why I have it at all.

I had to think really hard on this! Almost went with Destro or doubled up on RTG's Firefly choice, but I think my favorite is someone else.

I really like this shot. There's Joe VS Cobra action in it, and everything is an authentic 1983 figure, it's classy.
