Python Patrol Officer a peg warmer???

[NAJAEMPIRE]

In the past two weeks I have returned to Target and Wal-mart to check the status on new figures. I found 22 Python Patrol Officers at wal-mart keeping the pegs warm and 15 Python Patrol Officers at Target doing the same. These a common pass over figure???????

The colors just dont scream Cobra and the yellow gloves are my personal turn-offs.

I agree. Although it wouldn't be a vintage figure, they should take the Python Officer and black out the rest of him. Similar to a shadow guard. I am sure the army building would increase with those modifications.

Just take him back, put him in a Troop Builder package with a new Python Patrol figure, and there you go.

That's a shame since I really love PP.

 

However this fig was released earlier, and sometimes the market has had it's fill. Maybe these will move a bit more once the PP Conquest hits stores.

Speaking of conquest, isn't the reason why Python Patrol is so popular is due to being responsible for overthrowing Serpentor? Serpentor was never seen again once PP was created. (For you anti Serpentor fans)

[Cthulhu5k]

I just liked them because they were nifty repaints. For some reason Tiger Force and Python Patrol were gold to me way back when because they gave me old sculpts but with new colors that really made them stand out for me. But I'm guessing the Officer is a pegwarmer because everybody is expecting an eventual troop builder set or such which will end up being a little cheaper.

 

That said, the PP Conquest and the Python Patrol Copperhead (with his boat) will probably make more of them sell.

Weren't these rereleased in a filler wave?

 

The problem with them (other than the knee pads being inaccurate @firedevil@ ) is that they didn't release enough of the others. The Python Guardsman is barely coming out and the Viper is stuck with the with Python Conquest. And Copperhead is not accurate at all.

 

Why not the Python Trooper? All THAT requires was a new webgear. Or The Python Tele-Viper to get correct hands (as with TF Flint and TF Duke).

 

Just having the one guy defeats the purpose of the Python Patrol.

[Valdin]

To me it's price point. If they were $5 a piece, I would probably pick 6 or so up. Now that the prices have gone up, I am kinda iffy about picking up figures at random, especially repaints. I do prefer the 5 pack idea better. It is better on the wallet and you get 4 troops with 1 officer, instead of stock piling the officers.

I aggree, It will be impossible to troop build python patrol. and yes the inaccuracy, don't even look that much alike. Cooperhead, not sure where the new era version came from. I am still in a state of depression how they can't create a true cobra emperor of what Serpentor should look like.

[CaptainTriumph]

I've bought 11 of them, so no problems here!

[pesatyel]

Since they didn't seem to want to do the officer too, they could have just included the Trooper's helmet and webgear with the Officer.

[JohnnyRebelV2]

I bought six. I've done my part. To me they are just another cobra soldier. Right along with the bazooka, officer and every other color variation. They are all grunts and bullet stopers.

[hamsterboy]

At least he's got TF Flint to keep him company. He won't get lonely.

[Card]

Man I wish those were our peg warmers. All I see around here is bazooka, no lie there must be at least 5 at nearly every store in town, its crazy.

[Cold Slither 'Nok]

Yeah, I picked up 5 or 6 but I think I only opened 1. Dont get me wrong, I dig PP (heh) vehicles and the red criss-cross patterns of the VvV and TRU exclusive 5 pack, but the original figs were hideous!

 

...and another thing, how friggin hard would it be to come out with a PP hiss already! I mean come on!

[Cthulhu5k]

I'll back a PP Hiss. If they can bring out a White version with missles on it instead of the gun turret later this year, certainly it's not that hard to give one a sweet color scheme and throw in another PP trooper with it.

[Ares6009]

I would army build them more if I had the money. But really, I'd prefer a PP Soldier, as opposed to an officer. Seems more... logical. I just pretend those I have are really soldiers, and someone else leads them.

[Lady Jaye]

I got one, and only one!! Nice fig, but too soon I think!!! Back in the day, the Forces were for those that missed out on the original figures!! I already had em in their original form, but many of the younger kids didn't, and so it was perfect for them!!!

 

Now adays, what's the point other than a simple re-paint!! There's no need since eventually they'll just come out with yet another repaint!!! Back then, it took years!!!

[ARROW]

For me, anything Python Patrol can peg warm until the end of time. I've never liked the colour scheme for those figures--and I just will not buy something that I think is that ugly. Its the yellow that does it.........just the wrong colour choice to go with the others.
