The cobra lab rat is said to be based on cobra cartoon scientists ( but that head really hurts that idea)
He comes with a suitcase with the compound z introduced in the pursuit of cobra line an injector to zombify their victims and a repurposed bomb ( now called a tablet ) that first came with a 25th CC in a MASS device pack.
The ultimate CC arms work well with the the Rise of Cobra Rex lab coat but the blue colored. Ultimate cc body underneath is obviously CC in a way that robs the figure of standing on his own. The head would work as an alternative a removable gas mask but the hat underneath the hood betrays a lack of formality and uniform.
The Arbco label is a nice detail referring to the RAH legitimate front business for Cobra. sadly the large Cobra symbol on the chest ruins the disguise similar to the way blatant deception logos would draw attention in traffic.
The set will will come with 2 of these for the rest of the sets reveals stay tuned both here and at Gijoecon.com

A friend of mine when on a trip to mexico somewhere between 2003-2005 (my memory is crappy) well past the heyday of VHS or Joe cartoons in general and brought back this wonderful VHS (Pictured with the same VHS in English that I purchased years before) -revsears
The Aliens snap Kit figures are around a decade old and where hard to get when they were first imported to the U.S. They had long been on my want list, and during the last Coil Con I ventured into the wonderful Kokomo Toys and found this guy sitting on the shelf.

While many of us were busy eating turkey, celebrating Hanukkah or Thanksgiving, and possibly being stuck in traffic because we traveled to do so, Skinny was super busy. check out his image based retelling of the of Billy, the son of Commander as it unfolded in the comics over the years. After you check it out, give it a link and I’d recommend subscribing to the barking fridge page as well.
Skinny is at it again. This episode of G.I.Joe Dossiers puts the Admiral whom we first saw in the sunbow cartoon series in the spotlight. He gives insight of the role of the U.S.S. Flagg in G.I.Joe, how much shipwreck wipes the deck and even expresses and an artistic side.
