I saw this dude on your desk behind you when you reviewed the retro CC and I was literally just waiting on this to drop. Great job as always and appreciate the work you put into this.
I’ll get two. The blue tone differences between the retro and the classified are easy to justify as specialists, like translators or a medic. I plan on getting 2 at a minimum. Great review, I feel confident that I’m right about these being worthwhile.
As someone who was late to the line, I’m very excited to have this. I’ve added a couple of the others at great financial cost, but I ordered 4 of these to fill the ranks. I wish the blue matched the others, but it’s not a deal breaker. Glad to have retro to fill out my ranks with the figures I missed out on. Now, give me retro Roadblock, retro Major Bludd, and RETRO RED NINJAS!
I wish the blue matched the main line too. Maybe they'll make a main line regular trooper. I'm not as enthusiastic on the Cobra Island troopers and their bulky gear, but I can look past that for the sake of having troopers to follow my blue main line officers (my favorite).
The way I look at the Trooper is simple. Cobra Island version is like the Python patrol. 2 different sub lines 2 different colors. Main Trooper would be the retro version in my eyes....eg Cobra Island Vipers sub line. I will hoard the retro version. Ty and kewl video.
I got 14 infantry, 2 CI, and one officer to command them (got another officer boxed but I feel like the one works--I digressed lol)….im getting 2 of these so far but I know I’m gonna love this more….gonna have to be like squad leaders 🤷🏻♂️….great review brother…can’t wait to get a hold of mine…
I totally agree with you about the layout of the back of the card. I think it’s all of those legalities in small print that takes up all the space, but I think they could still do what you mentioned if they really wanted too…
100% on the card. I’m stoked they got the laser rifle even if the rest need a plastic expert to explain… I really do like the blue but I really haven’t gotten into army building
It's definitely closer to the original colors. I just wish they would have kept the officer boots on this one like the Stinger driver. The armored boots just look out of place.
This was the review I needed to push me to cancel preorder on these. More available for the army builders. The pins..it usually doesnt matter on most figs, but these are deep pins. The shade of blue still doesn't quite sit right with me. The gray on the webgear is just ugly and would need a heavy wash or repaint. I like Spirit's rifle but all the other weapons I have a dozen of already. With no extra head sculpt or anything new to offer, I can't justify adding these to my trooper collection. My tolerance for constant reuse is nearing a breaking point.
"Im not a plastic expert" 😂 that's hilarious, Vala gets so defensive and his feelings hurt so easily while claiming there's some "soft" people in the toy community. Any how i love the classified troopers I'll be getting a few of these ones
Great review Lawrence! though what frustrates me to no end how none of the recent trooper have matching colors with other cobra troop builders or with cobra commander (valkiries, vipers and range vipers to name a few)....

I agree 100% on the card back! Sunbow FTW.
I love the blue on these guys

Cobra! Can't wait to get one or three. Thanks for the informative review.
Great review.😎
Very nice! I'm waiting on 3 and 3 CC
Damn. This dude looks nice.

I mean, last thing I want to do is overstep my expertise and talk about soft plastic weapons.
@@Apunkwithtoys 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

yup exactly
Wow they really screwed the pooch on this ones weapons and why does he have the officer armband?
I wouldn't have minded if hascrap would have done the blue like that retro cobra commander. I got the blues 💙 😂
OTW can’t wait nice & detail oriented as always good sir lmao ✌🏽

I don’t know what you’re talking about 🤷🏻♂️🤣
@Apunkwithtoys He's talking about the Valaverse Toys CEO Bobby Vala lol
7:53 is this Retrocarded Snakeyes, or Commando & Timber Snakeyes?
That’s the retro Snake Eyes, the one that comes on card that it seems not that many people found.
Great video the sniper rifle made me think why isn't there a sniper viper
Im waiting on 10 but i think im gonna paint the gray bits black
Do you think the Web Gear is too big and floppy on the figure? Looks like it should fit snugger.
Cobra Trooper weapon should be AK-47/74
yup exactly
Is the blue similar to scrap iron or more towards retro card cobra commander?
Boots and gauntlets are awefull.
I wish it was 1983 again
Ah with links to help the channel you are not gonna be negative are you since you are invested!
The figure looks pretty good.Gotta work on those weapons.Way too soft.
Great review Lawrence! though what frustrates me to no end how none of the recent trooper have matching colors with other cobra troop builders or with cobra commander (valkiries, vipers and range vipers to name a few)....
isn't that shade of blue more close to the original figures? That's how i remember them anyway but memory is a treacherous thing.
It's a shame they were so lazy with some of these retros
Sexy Sniper Pose makes it IG approved! Lol
😂😂😂
crud, this was boring
It’s not pinless?
