Thanks Meertoh....

How long's your avatar been blinking, anyway?

Damn 1970.... don't you just hate time travel!

These blister packs are a mystery though, I wonder if the bubbles are the same as the ones used on the oddly packed carded figures (ie no accessories) that come up from time to time?

PS:
I'm trying very hard to not do a bad pun about 'blinkin cobra troopers....'

Great avatar! At first I thought I had a drink or two too much when I first saw the blinking. "Whit? Is aye loosin me nuts?"

According to good ol' YoJoe he does! http://www.yojoe.com/action/82/cobraofficer.shtml

And it is the same as the Major's as far as I can see when I am comparing both. "Givvit tea me, it'ssssssssss mine" "No you Cobra wank, I am a higher ranked villan, so give me the AK, thou moron!" -> endless discussion...

Yeah, the bubbles! Ever lasting mystery... I really don't have a clue about those.

I don't think the cobra officer's gun and the black major's gun are the same.

I understood that the cobra officer had a dark grey gun made from rigid plastic and the black major's gun was black and extremely bendy.

Which one does hunter have?

Dinna ken what you mean with bendy, rubber-ish or sommick? I had a couple of BMs and all had a gun made of rather "normal" plastic. I would say it is the same as CO's gun.

If CO's and BM's gun are different, then Hunter, being Palitoy, would have the same as Black Major.

In that my bendy Black Major gun must have been a variant, but the Cobra Officer gun is definitely grey as opposed to black.

Well, we might have the same guns. What do you mean with bendy? Rubber-ish of soft plastic?

Cobra Officer came with a black AK-47 assault rifle.
