The retro trooper seems more based on the original toy colors than the animation. Might eventually just say "screw it"and make a repainted custom figure, but it's weird to me they still haven't done the marvel comics style of trooper yet color wise. The female trooper 2 pack they put out a while ago had the straps colored like that for one of them, and there have been several red mask troopers. Surely it's not that hard to do a trooper with a red mask and tan/yellow straps, right? If they DO make one, I hope they make a scarface headsculpt. There's only really been one figure of him and it was back at the start of the 25th figures. Because of him I actively sought out like 3 marvel comics colored troopers from the cobra 5 pack they put out around that time to stand around him. I really wish the cloth/officer head they keep using wasn't wider than the standard trooper head because it slightly stretches out the trooper helmet in a way that looks awkward when you look at it up close. In terms of the army builders I've managed to actually get it's weirdly mainly python patrol due to clearance/discounts. I have like 4 python patrol officers (green. The green plastic on the arms weirdly seems prone to stress marks even thought here's no pressure being put on it by the joints. Those don't have this problem though as they use the officer helmet along with the cloth head. The SECOND release one actually colored like the original python officer figure was the first one they did like this with the wider officer head paired with the trooper helmet, but it came with an alternate head that was the original trooper sculpt so that's the head I've used for him. Really like the idea of swapping the black and red masks around between figures in this grouping you've got. If I had a bit more spare cash I'd probably have done something similar lmao. Actually might be a good idea to get into resin casting. Been aiming to do that for a few years but never got around to managing to get the proper setup for that kind of thing. You could theoretically get infinite amount of heads to swap around via recasting, but you'd need to paint in the details yourself.
The standard troopers, like the new Retro Cobra Trooper is but the older ones may be sold out everywhere, unless you try places like Ebay. You can find the Retro Cobra Troopers in stores or at Hasbro Pulse. The Hiss Fire Team trooper and officer are still sold at Hasbro. The Stinger driver can be found in stores or at Hasbro Pulse.
@@comicbookbin yes the new retro ones! i dont collect classified figures, i think their garbage. i saw these from like the cartoon and want them lol. thank you sir.

I haven't tried casting yet but thank you for understanding my Cobra trooper army-building obssesion!
