Its a toss up which one i like the most between the BATs and CoCo. It is arguably one of the best cobra commander figures, but the BATs color really pops. The paint looks really good. My kids love “the robots” as they call them. There is something about how appealing it looks sitting on the shelf. I did a follow up video with a longer overview and posed 3 of them together and they look great.
@@DolphStalloneToys I was planning to hold out for black cartoon BATs, but seeing your videos, I'm leaning towards picking up this BAT as well. CoCo and the BAT are the standouts, for me. Also--can't wait for the Twins!
@@seanbeckett4019 the more BATS the merrier. You can grab a few and then more of the cartoon black/yellow and use the blue as either a commander figure or a few as utility troopers. WaywardGoat sells a blue MARV vehicle that would look nice filled with blue bats. They also sell a black one for the inevitable black BATs.
@@DolphStalloneToys Yeah I thought about using the blue BATs as either "officers", or maybe as early "prototype" BATs. Either way, I'm just not sure I can actually wait for the "proper" black BATs 😅 And these BATs do look really really nice. But you know, $20 a pop...always gives me some pause.
I have both the Super7 ReAction BAT and Reaction+ BAT. Surprisingly, I'll say that he normal ReAction BAT, if you disregard the o-ring articulation, is much better! It's bulkier, it has the classic vintage colors, it has a mat black plastic that feels awesome, and it has a transparent "glass" on the chest so you can see the gears inside! AND the normal ReAction have a gun holster on the side that fits a GUN! AND the chest strap in not part of the BODY, it's detached! I hope Brian Flynn does the ReAction BAT in ReAction+ format!
But are there cheaper O-Rings out there right now? Seems kind of on-par with other O-Rings atm. I'll spend $20 on my most wanted like this Cobra Commander, then if I see my less-desired figures discounted in the future, I might pick them up. Got to play the patience game, these days.
@@coris3436 I’m currently leaning towards the BATs being my favorite. I think I like the head mold better than the original which feels blasphemous. Check my follow up video for a view of 3 BATs together and Covergirl posed with some different older figures and other female figures
Snake Eyes has blue boots.... lil blue boots... what the hell?? Who was the "McGenius" that made that decision? That's so bad that I would never want to buy him. What were they thinking? I see that so often with Transformers n other figures where everything is great other than the bizarre liberty they took inadvertently completely ruining the figure. More than one person agreed to this during its production. Again...Lil blue boots... WTF?!?!
@joshuachristian5443 these paint jobs are designed to literally reflect the colors used in the comic book from the 80's or the cartoon from the 80's. Thus the color scheme on Snake-Eyes.
The super7 head sculpt on the reaction figure would have looked better then the o ring one they just made cause it looks like the new snake eyes doesn’t have as much detail in his head sculpt. But who knows. Once I get them I will decide if I will just use the bodies to make a night force figure or black opts
Cobra Commander looks good. Cover Girl is meh, but still better than the only ARAH version ever released. Those are the only one's I got. Snake Eyes & the BAT are an easy pass for me.
Honestly didn’t need to. I did a follow up video thats a bit longer that shows off the figures some more. I only swapped the o-ring for coco because it was too tight and forcing his gut out. Snake Eyes leg gear can run into the crotch / waist piece. I have a few t-hooks laying around that might change where the hips sit by a few millimeters. Maybe that will help tuck his legs in better. It wasn’t like the delta 17 figures that I proactively swapped all t-hooks out. Those were a different issue where the girth of the hook was rubbing into the legs and risking possible breakage.
Some people said the o rings are too small I use Amazon o rings. They have a listing GIJoe o-rings. I use them all the time 100 o rings really cheap. So after you change the o ring to a larger one then see if it makes a difference otherwise then the t hooks might be too large. And someone turned one of the cobra commanders into a hooded one. Lmao it’s awesome I might do that too.
Why on earth would I buy figures from a company that trucked put 5 points of articulation figures for so long when they could have continued the o-ring. As far as I'm concerned, if Super7 made these to begin with, we would never have had o-ring. GI Joe started o-ring for crying out loud. Just. Dumb. Maybe Super7 could continue the Star Wars license that Hasbro might be done with and use the Mr. Potato Head mold to make the figures that we have been asking for.
@@craigboyle9714 Hasbro only recently allowed them to do o-ring figures after they threw in the towel, right around the time they had layoffs, released the Haslab Skystriker, and the Stinger. Before that, Super7 wasn’t allowed to make o-ring style gi joes legally. Hasbro effectively gave up on o-rings excluding the transformer collaboration figures. I imagine if super 7 does well with these, they may go back, but right now Hasbro is focused on Classified.
I got the Cobra Commander and his torso kept popping forward like he was sticking out his belly. I replaced the O-ring with a different one and it fixed that problem. The only thing that really bothers me is that none of the vintage backpacks I tried fit in his back. The hole is too big and the backpacks won't stay in.
Use a tiny bit of a plastic bag to make a tight fit. That way you don’t have to ruin or charge anything cause toy poly would use wood putty and then sand and paint
@@maximusprime3459 people started finding them at Target the last 2-3 weeks. Super7 started shipping them out directly last week. The BAT is sold out at super7.com but you can still get all of wave 1, + tomax and xamot, at bigbadtoystore
@@bananarama6808 Thought so too but someone dug out some shots from the comics and he has blue boots with how they did the coloring.

@@DolphStalloneToys Thats poor 80's comic book coloring using blue to add highlights and a source of light. As you can see the blue is on the backpack and parts of his body. But not on his parts that should be grey.. Even the 85 figure had grey paint apps. On the ankle and arm pouches. As well as grey accents on his grenade chest piece and belt. If it was grey with a touch of blue the figure would get a pass. But no the color is straight up blue. So it still a pass for me.
