G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback Cobra Trooper, Collectible 6 Inch Action Figure with 9 Accessories

At first I wasn't interested in buying these retro cobra troopers as I already own about a dozen of the Classified Cobra Infantry and it's Target Exclusive version that also happens to be called Cobra Troopers. But Prime Day had a good discount deal so I ordered 3. I really dig the bright blue paint apps, makes them pop out more than the dark blue paint apps on the classified versions. Nice assortment of weapons, better than the nerf guns but the plastic on the sniper rifle can be bendy after pulling out of the tray. The face sculpt and articulation feel great, perfect for posing multiple troopers in different stances. They're worth the value for army builders who don't have to spend a lot on the Cobra Infantry or Cobra Island Trooper.

Brand new highly detailed. High quality figure with a lot of accessories. Excellent to collect or play with. Great price too!

Great deal when on sale on Amazon. Great toys. Best action figures you can buy

This figure strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and new-school design. The joints move smoothly, and the paint apps are clean. It’s one of those figures you can’t resist posing again and again.

Nice figures that I am using to crew my Flight pods so I can use the Televipers in my infantry squads!

This is a great figure, you get 3 guns, a knife, and a stand. I wish all figures came with this kind of load out. I think all figures need to come with a stand, a main weapon, a side arm, and a knife or machete.

Retro Cobra Trooper has a great look, but using the web gear, guns, and helmet from different figures makes for a less than entirely satisfying army-builder. The figure's knees and elbows are the older-style with pins which is ok by me but may not fly for some; his outfit's got a deep blue coloring looks great, it doesn't match other Cobra Trooper figures but isn't too bright. He comes on that newly-robust GI Joe Classified Retro cardback, and he's very similar to the 3.75" so if you want one for the wall he's a winner. It's not a bad figure, but better accessory choices would have made me love the set a lot more and army-build it. This figure is where they take parts from existing figures and put them together to make a new release which isn't always a perfect fit, each of which is minor but put together left me somewhat frustrated: - The base body from the original Cobra Island Cobra Trooper but the web gear harness from Sgt. Stalker, so the web gear sits a little large and floats off the shoulders whenever you rotate or bend him at the waist. - The head is from the Cobra Officer figure, but the helmet is from that C.I. Cobra Trooper which is narrower, so putting the helmet on this figure causes it to bulge out and lose its hood shape. - The pistol, silencer, and knife come from Stalker and have leg holsters; meanwhile the submachine gun is from the Cobra Valkyrie and the sniper rifle is from Spirit Iron Knife, neither of which have any storage at all since they were designed to mount to those figures' backpacks and don't have their own back-pegs, since this figure doesn't have a backpack so there's no storage for them whatsoever. The only accessories left that I haven't mentioned are the Cobra-themed figure stand that every Retro Cobra-faction figure has, and the left shoulder cuff to denote rank, this is a repaint from the original C.I. Trooper and is fine by me, it's not that hard to remove if you don't like it. Using pinned double elbows and knees means they move more freely than the newer pin-less versions, and as an older figure he has a disk-hinged neck so he can look up and down great but doesn't have as much side-to-side tilt -- that increased range means he can look straight up which is great for prone sniper poses. Otherwise he has the same high quality articulation as other Classified figures, his left hand uses an up-down hinge while his right an in-out, which is generally backwards from how I prefer it. His drop-down hips are well-lubricated so there's no risk of seizing the way they used to a couple years ago.

Very cool. Always loved this figure as a kid in the 3.75 o-ring. The Classified version is superb!
