The End

My only (accidental) foray into army-building as a kid...I had two of these guys. Sweet Python uniform, Hoodie!

[blissex]

Great review, I had this figure growing up, now as a collector I have both variants, I know python patrol was weird but I still liked them, my favorite is the python viper, having some of the python patrol helped me to have more cobra forces to battle with, wow seeing these figures sure bring back memories when it was cool to be a kid, going over to friends houses and creating our own combat environment for our figures, those sure were the days.

The gray rifle is much harder to find than the black.

It's similar to the white Accessory Pack rifle, but it is actually gray and matches the gray of the figure's boots and gloves; I've seen sellers always trying to pass off the white AP version and sell it at a premium claiming it's the Python Patrol variant, but there's definitely a difference between the two rifles when side-by-side.

Love your quick summaries of these figures. I never knew these existed as I probably stopped buying GI Joe around 1986 or 87. Great job giving the details and background.

[Pegwarmers]

Because I didn't have any Cobra Troopers or Officers as a kid (because I got into the line in the Mid 80's) I really like this guy. I was mostly excited to have a release of this mold.

[badape]

I am happy you are back HCC. I still want a car painted in the python patrol colors

[violagreene]

It's weird. The webgear and weapons from the Cobra Trooper and Officer make more sense switched, but every other detail makes more sense with the original assignment. Even the collars on the shirts, so just swapping torsos doesn't really work. I've often thought that replacing a few Cobra Trooper and Officer heads with Python Officer and Trooper heads respectively would make for nice variations.

[petewallace]

Cobra Commander applied a little CC&D with Python Patrol, switch up the officer and trooper uniforms to keep the Joes guessing

[rtd]

When new I disliked the Python Patrol and other repaints of the classics and avoided them but in recent years have come to really enjoy the Python Patrol and collected quite a few of them.

I always thought Python Patrol was supposed to go up against Tiger Force. That Python Viper looks pretty cool I'd forgotten about him.

YOU ROCK!!! 🤘🏻 Okay, maybe not the python shirt, but YOU ROCK, Hoodie. I look forward to every single video, fir the last five years. Thank you for coming back.

I loved Python Patrol, this might be the best one, too

[toysbackzen]

Nice to have the 80’s back! I enjoy your serious thorough reviews riddled with humour. Thanks

[Dave-rfzj]

I dig Python Patrol. I recently picked up a Python Patrol Relampago figure from the Estrela line and it is a sweet figure.

[jumpingeneral]

Enjoy the channel and it’s positive influence on the hobby

" a python trooper is seen driving the python patrol stun. he gets beaten up by flint."

i'm pretty certain that was the final stage of initiation into cobra's ranks. until flint breaks your nose, you're still just a neophyte.

I had the Python Trooper with the grey/white AK-47 variant.
