1984: Cobras Revisited
These are newer versions of the '84 Cobras from the comic book multipacks. I threw in some figures into this shot from some of the TRU exclusive multipacks from the mid 00's that included repaints of figures based on the '84 Cobras, or are in some way based in them.
The Storm Shadow figure is particularly cool as he is basically the same as the vintage one, but has the sleeveless arms that he has in both comics and cartoon appearances. The black ninja is based on the same figure, and is nice homage to a South American figure called "Ninja Ku". The Red Ninjas are also based in the original '84 Storm Shadow and another South American repaint called "Satan" who was later reworked into the American continuity as the character "Sei Tin", the leader of the Red Ninja clan of the comics.
The Baroness figure is the same as the vintage one, but with a different head and paint job to try and better match her comic book look.
The hooded Cobra Commander was a mail-in offer in '84, so that is why he is included here, although neither version pictured here is a repaint if that '84 version, these are repaints of a '90s version based on the 1984 one.
The Zartan is a masterpiece and one of my favorite figures, as is the Firefly. Scrap Iron has some very bright colors, but I like him anyway.
