Cobra Trooper Photo/Discussion Thread

Well I figured since this guy was so awesome that he needed his own photo thread. Post (or re-post) your awesome pics guys!!! IMO he is their best Joe to date--great weapons, outfit, etc. THE TOTAL PACKAGE.

Re: Sideshow Cobra Trooper Photo Thread

Nice pics! I may have to touch up the doll dot, it's the only thing that bothers me about this figure.

Re: Sideshow Cobra Trooper Photo Thread

I wish you guys would not discuss the doll dot. I never notice it until someone does, and then it bugs the hell out of me on my figures for the next couple days, until I forget about it again.

Re: Sideshow Cobra Trooper Photo Thread

Killer figure. I notice EVILFACE is the only one to have him hold his rifle properly. Is it hard to fit the stock on the inside of his arm?

FYI, that's the way newbs hold it. With the stock inside of the arm, you have to go around the shoulder, potentially hanging it up on your armpit, vest, etc., to properly shoulder your rifle to fire. Outside, the correct position for a half guard stance, you simply snap it up to full guard.

Maybe if it was a airsoft rifle. . .

That was a cheap and lame attempt at a jab, but I didn't expect much from someone who's only experience is posing toys. Not so nice being the newb, is it?

What kind of a wuss fires an AK from his shoulder?

Re: Sideshow Cobra Trooper Photo Thread

You got me there, I have zero experience holding or shooting people with airsoft guns. I do with real guns though, thanks.

You mean get back to posting pics?

The Trooper's uniform has looked almost purple in some pics but yours really shows that SSC nailed the proper shade of blue. Very cool.

Re: Sideshow Cobra Trooper Photo Thread

Yea, the blue they chose is perfect. Wish CC was a little bit lighter shade.

I noticed that as well, looking at the 3 3/4" pics, it seems like they got the colors reversed. CC should actually be lighter than the troopers.
