Wait... has Classified not done hooded Cobra Commander before now?
That crown better be removable.
And apparently Hasbro has hired Yosemite Sam.
Varmint, indeed

Nope. Supposedly afraid of possible KKK comparisons.
Are they aware that he's a villain?
I'm assuming they went with "Varmint" because the Cobra version is the Ferret?
Outside of Club/Special releases, when was the last time we got a Hooded Cobra Commander at retail? I was thinking Spy Troops or Valor vs Venom, with the interchangeable helmet and hood accessories, and that was a while back.
But, yeah, there's badguys, and there's Bad Guys, and it's a fine line to walk, I guess?

A Dr Who crossover?
I wonder if any Deep Six parts could be reused for a Star Brigade figure...
Also no Joe Haslab this year.
-ZacWilliam, Wonder if TF will get one. This is the first year I would be unlikely to swing it. They've mostly been gifts from my parents but they've had a lot of unexpected expenses this year and I wouldn't want them to.

ACTION MAN
Yep. Render Reveals for Action Man. Grand Slam with HAL and Vamp Mrk II
Name only reveals:
Legacy Avalanche Rescue
Dusty with Sandstorm
Notes: They want to get a rerun of Vamp version 1 out there. Fall lineup has a Desert theme.
No Haslab this year.
They did give a special thank you and best wishes to Lenny and Tony who have moved on to Boss Fight Studios.

The last hooded Cobra Commander I recall being released was the Dollar General/Basic version that they did in blue and black during the initial run up to Retaliation back in 2012/13
Digging that Action Man. It based on any particular incarnation?
My guess is a callback to his short story in IDW's "Hearts and Minds" miniseries, where he internally monologues about all the ways the deep sea can kill you.
