1/6 Alter Ego - Cobra Commando

[Ultra8294]

I'm surprised no one has asked about the licensing for this piece...
Did Hasbro or Paramount "o.k" for this to be made?
Clearly the Cobra logo is there and no red flags have gone up...yet.

this was a no brainer hot toys should have done. maybe firefly too.

For $125 it's not that bad.

If Hasbro licensed this it wouldn't be called "Commando".
Hot Toys' loss, Alter Ego's gain.

Here's the break down of the cost (I emailed them about it).

$160?! There is no way the quality of this figure justifies that price.
Sideshow joes are less than $20 over that.

 

[Keenan]

Don't forget the $50 to ship it.

Still think Hot Toys can pull this off seeing how they have the offical licsene of the movie.

It's not even $125 worth

$160 is ridiculous for the quality shown here. The $125 price came from converting the sum from Rupiah to Dollars that ProgMatinee posted btw.

Of all the Retaliation Cobra costumes it would be the only one I would really consider buying.
It's still very likely Hot Toys will make their own Commander someday.

 

[RIDDICK]

It is obvious that HT skipped CC cuz SSC still haven't released theirs. He's not Ironmeh, you know...

 

[Ross SC]

I wish Hot Toys would make one... Not because I want it (thought he looked terrible) but because with a bit of work the head would work well for this version:

Got everything else I need!

A choice between Alter Ego's Cobra Commando or SSC helmeted Cobra Commander.....hmmm...which should i go for?????



Seriously is there anyone who thinks this is both better quality or better value than SSC's CC V.2?

Not in terms of a better quality or value, but more in terms of the 1:6 curiosity & morbid completion factor.

For $125 shipped I would have checked it out- just because it's something different. But for almost $220 this is a very easy pass.
