Product Backstory: At the forefront of any COBRA strike are the Officers of the COBRA infantry. Fiercely loyal to COBRA ideals and unwavering in their commitment, these are the individuals who have stood out among squadrons of hardened and sadistic troopers. Their cunning lust for power propels them to commit heinous acts on the battlefield in an effort to be noticed by COBRA’s top command. Once selected as a candidate for Officer, intensive physical and psychological training morphs them into effective and elite field leaders. Expert training in all aspects of modern warfare and leadership allows the Officers to lead their units in effective, daring and atrocious acts of hostility and intimidation around the globe. Proving their worth through their actions, these are the selected few the Commander relies on to spread his gospel of world domination. COBRA Officers are held responsible not only for their own actions but for the actions of those serving within their unit. Officers demand the same loyalty that the COBRA Commander demands from them. Should they suspect any lack of this from the troopers serving them, the punishment they deal can be swift and extremely severe. These are the most insidious and evil of the legions of troopers serving COBRA. They aren’t promoted for their good looks……..COBRA!

Where can you buy these amazing figures?  On the Sideshow Toys site, of course!  Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!  Thats right, we said it!
