I got two of this one today man... Very nice a humongous figure I should say... Love the details on it. COBRA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA... Now we need the rest of the team.😃💡👍
he is a awesome looking figure but he’s not a very well constructed figure (he’s either too floppy in spots or to tight and it seems like there all like this from the reviews if watched and the ones me and friends have gotten ) also his wings needed one or two more points off articulation in my opinion overall he’s looks awesome sitting on my shelf and I’m very happy with him
Very thorough review of a figure I never really liked as a kid. The '87 rendition pales in comparison to this Classified version and I've never been 100 % sold on Cobra La. This version however, is impressive in size, detail, options and overall look. Those articulated wings are a really nice touch and that alternate head displays better and would be the one I would keep on. Great video!
Even as a kid, I hated everything about Cobra La, but you are right. It's not anymore strange than a lot of the other stuff Sunbow had worked into the cartoon. I think my aversion was due to Cobra Commander being my favorite figure. I was too loyal to him to accept Serpentor or anything else that took away his authority. So no, I didn't pick this one up. However, I'm not blind. I have no problem admitting the GI Joe team did an excellent job with updating Nemisis. I like his size, his sculpting is phenomenal, and the bendy wire tentacles are such a throwback to toys from my childhood. I can see why some folks dislike the wings, but I don't think they are bad. Posed up, they can look great. I hope that there is a restock coming, because I hate that so many fans have missed out on this one. GI Joe is not just my toyline. Sure, I prefer seeing my favorite figures being introduced, but there's plenty of room for everyone in this line. Even though I won't collect them all, I hope Hasbro remakes every Cobra La figure, every 90's figure, and even figures based on all new characters.
When they announce something I don't want - like the Trench Viper set - I just look at it as an opportunity to spend that money elsewhere. I almost wish they'd make more stuff I don't want. 😂

Can't wait! 🤘
Great review! Love that 'LA' box art.
Thank you! I'd love to figure out a way to scan that art and make a backdrop.
@NeedlessThings maybe someone online already did it....
Good review! I canceled him and he still showed up to my house.
Thanks! That's weird.

Fantastic figure and a great review! My biggest criticism is that its yet another flying figure who can't look up properly!
The necks, man. Drives me crazy.
Hasbro should of engineered the wings to fold inward more.
I can't think of a single figure I own that I wouldn't add a little more range to if it was possible.
Great commentary and review, as always
I don't like this figure and just made a custom retro for now
Thanks! 🤘
Sorry he’s a decent figure, but those wings are horrible.
No need for apologies - that's your opinion and nobody else is obligated to agree! Peace ✌️
