G.I. Joe Classified Series #196, Professor Rottclaw & Cobra Deinonychus

Code Name: PROFESSOR ROTTCLAW
File Name: Killgore, Crispin
Primary Specialty: Paleontology; Genetic Engineering
Secondary Specialty: Paleo-Viper Pack Leader
Birthplace: Johannesburg, South Africa

Crispin Killgore grew up a child of privilege, his family’s vast wealth granting him every luxury imaginable, but no money could provide this young boy’s greatest wish – a real-life dinosaur of his very own. His obsession with all things prehistoric drove him to studies combining cutting edge genetic research with paleontology. As his methods began pushing ethical boundaries, he sought out Cobra and Dr. Mindbender as the only organization with the adequate facilities and capital to realize his experiments – reviving a Deinonychus from extinction. Professor Rottclaw now serves as pack leader of Cobra’s Paleo-Viper forces pairing the troopers with his creations which they attempt to wrangle and direct against the enemies of Cobra with mixed results.

“Professor Rottclaw has no real allegiance to or belief in the ideals of Cobra. He’d serve anyone who helps him play with his ‘toys’.”

Introducing an all-new character and design! adding the Paleo-Viper Pack Leader and a fully-articulated, realistic Dinosaur to the ranks of Cobra and into G.I. Joe lore. Buy multiple and pose the figure with the alternate Paleo-Viper helmet head to troop-build your Cobra Dinosaur Legions!
This Professor Rottclaw figure comes with 3 accessory pieces including whip, Paleo-Viper helmet alternate head, and weapon accessory. Cobra Deinonychus comes with skull and jaw armor, bridle, and unassembled tail.
Cobra Deinonychus is a pet companion figure with 20 points of articulation: poseable arms, legs, tail, and claws; movable shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle, and knee joints; articulated head, neck and jaw; and comes with skull armor and bridle accessories to customize your dino pack.
#196 in the Classified Series sequence. The window-box display showcases the figure along with accessory loadout, figure-specific File Card Icons, gorgeous original character artwork, and dynamic digital renders.
Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there. G.I. Joe is a highly skilled 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 G.I. Joe Classified Series evolves the retro G.I. Joe toys fans know and love into a highly articulated 6-inch (15 cm) scale with exceptional deco and articulation for cool poseability to create dazzling dioramas (some poses may require additional support).

As with the Dino Hunters back in the 90s, there seems to be very little “middle ground” when it comes to this release – Either fans love it, or they hate it.

I personally think it’s awesome. A Raptor is something that Cobra would most definitely have in their beast lineup. Add a cool new character and we’re in business!
