Pretty awesome figure, yes. This figures where a giant part of my childhood, yes. Wish I could collect them again, yes. Also I really enjoy your reviews, yes! Thank you very much Kevin, yes!
Thank you for reviewing Raptor. I personally feel that the 1987 wave of villains is one of the best in the entire series, second only to 1984's crop of villains. 1983 and 1986 were good years for Joe villains but I think 1987 took it to a new level. If Sunbow went ahead with a season 3 this would be the perfect villains to keep the show interesting. Please do Big Boa, he was always a favorite of mine and as the COBRA Trainer he physically looks like he could stand toe-to-toe with the Joe Drill Sergeant, Sgt. Slaughter. Another A+ review.
I loved the '87 figures, to be honest! I didn't have Big Boa or Techno Viper, but I remember wanting them pretty badly!lol I had Crystal Ball "mind meld" Raptor's falcon, and Croc Master's Croc so they could communicate with them! I was a weird kid anyways, and kind of liked Cobra La to a point too!
I like him. Cobra specialists characters are interesting in a Batman rogues gallery kind of way. they seem to be weird additions to Cobra, but I am sure some fans might have felt the same about Zartan or the Dreadnoks at one time before they got involved in the comic stories. I wish raptor had claw weapons like the Cobra Dictator did. The wing cape was cool, but not much of a weapon. great review.
"I have to admit that actually Raptor looks a bit more impressive. And that's probably the last time you will ever hear that sentence uttered" Hahahahaaha, love it.
There were so many interesting villains from this wave . I remember being blown away when my cousin first showed me this figure . Was Croc Master from this wave as well?
Great review man! A very bizarre and weird figure, never really knew what was the idea behind that weirdo but still always liked it... Now, I'd love to see a review from you for Crystal Ball! Another strange one from that wave.
The Raptor figure looks cool but the character was just bizarre. Larry Hama clearly agreed b/c he only used the character a few times before killing him off.
can u review big boa the boxer? That was one of my favourite cobra's. My brother had the crocodile dude, my neighbour had roadblock. so many good memorys
I love Raptor, actually I really like all of the '87 Cobras. I felt they were a nice change from the norm.

ONE OF MY FIRST COBRAS & FAVOURITE FIGURES!
Thanks for sharing your review with us too! Sorry I didn't say that yo begin with!
one of my favorite careters had him when was kid loved him can never find him with his wings or cape what ever
interesting back pack option. Never thought of that.
lol Those "c-list villains" were my G.I. Joes.

Beast Wars Megatron was quite annoying. Yes.

Yes, Croc Master was a 1987 figure as well. You can see him in the opening seconds of this video.

Oh great!! Missed that one. Thanks!

I think the Devil Ray, Barracuda are just pack ins not companion pets
Figure looks like Alice Cooper!

so many good memorys
i always liked the more weird joes!!!
Hasbro be trollin. Ha!
Great review but an awful figure and character idea.I disliked him when I was a kid also. He belongs in the alien cantina in Star Wars
no he is too horrible for Star Wars too. I would recommend He-Man for Raptor
