My Sideshow Toys Cobra Commander arrived today.

This is one amazing toy, and for the tasty price point of £35 I can't complain, hell i'd have been impressed if i'd dropped the regular price of £60-100ish.
The packaging is as amazing as i've come to expect from Sideshow. Like with the Star Wars boxes, this opens up like a book and has the figure on one side and the accessories on the left. It wasn't until i opened the packaging up that I noticed the small touches like the backing inserts were the same 'explosions' as with the original Joe figures cards.
The figure itself is lovely, with great articulation, and excellent fabric used for the uniform and leather over coat. The hood being sculpted was ok, but for some reason I can;t help but wonder how amazing a proper cloth hood would have looked. It's still great though.
It is the accessories that really stand out though. The figure comes with 3 very cool guns -
An MP7, removable silencer and 3 ammo clips. The shoulder but extends on this.
A pistol with sculpted on silencer.
The best one is the third pistol though, which has a removable clip and an actual working slider which reveals a round in the chamber.
On top of this you get pouches on the uniform for all spare clips, as well as his knife (with the cobra logo engaved in the handle), holster for the pistol, three pairs of gloved hands, and the standard Sideshow base with the cobra logo on it.

I've got my Cobra Commander holding one pistol looking disarmingly, but with the MP-7 hidden behind his back. This looks even better in my mirrored cabinet where you can see it in the reflection. I'll try and take some pictures this weekend.

I've always wanted to purchase a Sideshow figure, but never seem to have the money to get the ones I want

I always enter in their contests, hoping I'll win something.

I love their figures, but I'm with you Fuller, too expensive for me

Scored a Sideshow 12" Punisher thanks to hypnotiq. Can't wait to get him. He will be my first Sideshow figure.

^Sweet show some pics man!
