I like this version of the trooper just as much as the previous released versions. The difference in colors isn't a big deal for me since I can just make the Classified ones the Cobra Night Watchers and the retro version as just regular troopers. Great review as always!

I love the Cobra Troopers!! The blue officer is my TOP DAWG favorite, likely due to the subdued shade and overall clean design. I see what they were trying to do with the web gear but it looks like you have to fuss with it a bunch. I ordered 2, but might add a few more depending on what he's like in hand. My retro design would have been officer web gear, lose the gauntlets and shin guards, officer buck no medals, optional head w/ red cloth mask with light skin tone, laser weapons.

I was Air Force for 16 years. The new Trooper is just wearing a brand new uniform. I had very old uniforms that still held fit form and function / fashion. I think the different shades a blue is very realistic. Uniforms change over time and after many washes/ dry cleanings the color fades. I think the change in the blues is more realistic then most people know.

I was not collecting the Classified Series when the previous Troopers were at retail. Now, they are a little too pricey for me to build a squad. I've pre-ordered two of these new ones, but I was hoping the blue was going to look a little less intense in hand. Now, I just don't know if I'll use these, or if I'll just bite the bullet and buy a few more of the older Troopers. I could tolerate them not matching the Officer, but they should match the Valkyries since they are basically just female Troopers. I know I'm going to paint the grey details black. I think the web gear will look better completely black. Hasbro needs to pick a lane with the retro line. Either recreate the vintage figures, or recreate the Sunbow look. These would have been awesome if they would have stuck with the darker blue like on the vintage figures.

I have a few in my pile of loot. while I dont disagree with anything you said, nor am I trying to sway your opinion in any way, but to me, if this is a RETRO version, I think this is the bare bones buck to use and also the blue is much more 80s. I do like the modern navy blues of the standard classified lines but I dont know why people are comparing these as if they should fit in. Retro Cobra is a crazy blue, and Stalker is a crazy camo, so this makes sense to me. The retro blaster is an awesome add and should be with all cobra soldiers like you said. The cheap reuse of Spirit's rifle is pretty garbo, but thats also Hasbro and big companies for you. Unless Im going for the cartoony weapons, anything "realistic" is coming from more expensive figures or somewhere like Gridiron anyways so in the end it doesn't bother me, just think its weak sauce, especially for it to be an enemy. Someone else on the Joe's getting that rifle is SOMEWHAT ok (if they have to) but to have cobra using the same guns as Joes is just weird.

The officer also has a cloth mask. And my older troopers will be like the heavy duty type. While these are the regulars. Got 5 of these coming. Already got 4 infantry and 1 of the cobra island trooper. Who has the patch on his arm functioning as the squad sergeant. So 1 of these will also be a sergeant and lead by the officer. I also got 4 valkeries with 1 of them being a officer. The others with regular helmets. totaling my force of 15 troopers in blue. That's beside the red Hiss pack.

They could issue these trooper/trooper officer/officer trooper/ officer officer variants every few waves in different color uniforms (but uniform color tones...if that makes sense), varying skin tones, and different mask variants and I'd likely be a buyer for every single one. They just need to retool the mould because some of these the hips don't sit right, making it tough to pose!

Excellent review. Yeah, this one really disappointed me. It's surprisingly phoned in imo, given that all they did was swap and kitbash a few ill fitting parts and give it the same harness and kit as one of the good guys. There's better parts they could have used too to get a more retro looking figure, but even so, at the very least they could have tooled a new harness. The blueshirt deserved the same treatment as Scarlett and Duke imo, but there it is. You saved me a good bit of change on this Bee! Thanks again!

This release is very underwhelming, first its blue color will not match with any other trooper/cobra character, second it's an outdated body mold that detoriated at the hip section. Compare the hips of the retro against the og cobra island release and you'll see what i am seeing. Hopefully we get an army builder 2 pack with the trooper and the officer with updated molds.
