G.I.Joe Classified Series Retro Cobra Snow Serpent Review

Leeny of Frostbite’s GI Joe Repro has posted a review of the G.I.Joe Classified Series Retro Cobra Snow Serpent figure. Check it out –

As with the Cobra Eel, although I absolutely love the Snow Serpent, there were too many “missed” opportunities with this figure, mainly around the choice of gear. IMO, it’s not “retro” if it doesn’t reflect all components of the Retro release, from tennis racket shoes to Missile Launcher.

G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES RETRO CARDBACK SNOW SERPENT

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 | Available: Summer 2024)

YO JOE! G.I. JOE is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. The brave members of G.I. JOE are prepared to seek out Cobra in any environment on the planet. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. The G.I. JOE Classified Series evolves the retro toy fans know and love into a highly articulated 6-inch (150 mm) scale with premium deco and detailing.

New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Snow Serpent comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. Snakes usually tend to be cold blooded, but Snow Serpents thrive in polar temperatures as the frontline arctic infantry troopers of the Cobra forces. They train to parachute onto ice floes before marching miles with full field pack, assault rifle and anti-tank weapon. Snow Serpents can traverse vast icy plains and then vanish in a snow drift remaining unmoving for hours or even days only to emerge with a lethal barrage on their unsuspecting foes. This Snow Serpent figure features a classic deco and design of the Cobra Polar Assault Trooper that fans of the original 1980s G.I. JOE characters will love and 8 accessory pieces, including goggles, snowshoes, backpack, 3 weapon accessories, and a figure stand inspired by the character’s rich history. The Snow Serpent figure comes on a blister pack card with design and character art inspired by the classic Real American Hero figure line that is perfect for display.

The Snow Serpent figure makes a great gift for lifelong fans of G.I. JOE toys or for anyone who loves action and adventure. Add multiple Snow Serpent figures to your collection and pose them with their accessories allowing you to send hordes of Cobra villains up against your heroic G.I. JOE figures! Look for other G.I. JOE figures and toys to build your roster of heroes and Cobra villains (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.) Available for pre-order April 4 at 1:00 PM ET at participating retailers.

So my friends, you know the drill: What are your thoughts on the Retro Cobra Snow Serpent? What do you think about the color updates, the card back, et al? Is this one you’ll be adding to your collection?
