25th Anniversary: Crimson Guard

The CRIMSON GUARD! highly recognizable by their bright red uniforms, they are the Elite in the ranks of the Cobra Army.

And are really interesting characters, as beside being experts in military matters, they also need to hold professional degrees like Law & Accounting to be apart of the working world.

As Crimson Guards are dispersed about the country in deep cover, assuming various roles,appearance & lifestyles.

So Watch Out they could be your average friendly neighbour!

Now's here a figure from the "Hall Of Fame" 25th anniversary celebration collection:


Packaging:

Out of the box

Weapons & Accessories:

1) 1X Assault Riffle with attached combat knife.
2) 1X Magnum Hand Gun
3) 1X Removable Helmet
4) 1X Removable Backpack

Handgun attached Side

Fully View Of Figure:

Helmet Close - Up:
- Compare the comic pack version, this figures comes with a color visor, which makes a really nice touch.


My Verdict.

Oldies always has the best goodies!

As Crimson Guards are a Firm Favorite and a must for any Cobra Army, this "Hall Of Fame" 25th anniversary celebration figure is absolutely stunning!

With minor paint touch up, that adds up to a nice figure! (cant really see, in my pictures)

The helmet & backpack is given a red metallic paint job, which is really nice and i could only hope that it was applied across the whole figure.


And the assault riffle is really nice compare the a classic riffle given to the comic pack guard, i however do like the magnum handgun as i think he deserve something cooler like a Desert Eagle maybe? well that just me...

But the Major downside of this figure would be the pricing! as its currently priced at RM39.90 each, when the previous pricing for a single was only Rm 2o odd.... which i am still trying to compare hand for new joes figures.

Over All Venom: 9/10

My Verdict


Most People would buy this because of the Cobra Eel (duhhh) and the steel Crusher is just something to complement thefigure.

I really do enjoy the paint scheme of this ver of the Cobra Eel, without its gear, the figure really looks like an infiltrator (maybe cause of the color schme) and its has a nice steel like finishing on both its shoulder Pad & arms band.

Yet again this is a great Cobra Figure to get, the only down to this figure would be the pricing, which is slight high. if you can look past that, then its time for army buidling!

Over All Venom: 8/10
