[glow=red,2,300] Been meaning to do all of my Joes for a while now... but I think I'll just settle for my 25th stuff to get started with;
[/glow]  [glow=red,2,300] My first batch of 25th Cobra's ( have increased since this picture!)

[glow=red,2,300] BARONESS AND TROOPERS
[/glow]  [glow=red,2,300] The Baroness accompanied by Cobra Stinger Driver, Trooper (1982 paint app), and Trooper (Cartoon paint app.)
All repaints, with a 'V' added to the Stinger Drivers helmet (as denoting his officer status!)
All very nice.
The Baroness' hair is a little inflexible, and interferes with posability, but she does have this teeny-tiny pistol that fits into her belt, which is so twee as to make up for any other defects...

[glow=red,2,300] COBRA COMMANDER
[/glow]  [glow=red,2,300] The big-snake is gorgeous. Lid removes to show a little circuitry at the back of the silver mask.
Pistol 'plugs' into his back... looks cool, but is a little weird...

Thought she wore glasses, not welding goggles... [glow=red,2,300] She's ok up close, although a little boss-eyed at a distance...
New fig coming in wave 4 is going to have green see-through specs... apparently based around the Mass Device episodes from the cartoon.

[glow=red,2,300] ZARTAN, DESTRO AND FIREFLY
[/glow]  [glow=red,2,300] All nice figs. Destro and FF come with tons of kit, whilst Zartan has the funky 'colour change' skin of the 1984 figure (only on the face though). Mine appears to be frozen on green...

Ooooh! There's nothing better than a stack of fresh toys! ;D [glow=red,2,300] I couldn't resist 'em... I was looking at 'em all and considering keeping them carded... but just broke in the end.
I had guests round as well... just had to excuse myself for a while and start pulling open figures...

Please note the Indiana Jones lego, and the menu for Wan Ying House, who do an exceptionally fine Chinese Spare Rib...

[glow=red,2,300] GAHHH!
[/glow]  [glow=red,2,300] Close ups on the comic pack Scarlett, SE and Duke.
These are just repaints of the other 25th figs, with paint apps. to make them look as though they have been coloured in by children.
The bad colours hurt my eyes.

[glow=red,2,300] ARGHH!
[/glow]  [glow=red,2,300] Close ups on the comic pack SS, CC and Destro... They appear to have been coloured in Crayon.
On the other three CC figures he has some great detail on the mechanised gun cavity on his back... this one looks like someones slapped yellow dulux in with a paint roller...
The colours themselves, whilst very accurate to the comics, are reminiscent of Gen 2 TF's... very gaudy indeed...
