too many figmas and nendoroids are being released.
I cannot afford them nor do I want most of them. the anime bubble is going to pop again. |

I don't think that's true...I have 10 figures on pre-order, and would get more if I had the money. Max Factory seems to just be getting better and better with sculpts, and picking more diverse licenses and branching out into western titles. They are even making a Sexy Commando figma!
Maybe there's just nothing that appeals to you personally. As for this review, it looks awesome. I bet it would even look better backlit. I haven't seen the Cobra series, just the movie, but it's on my list. |

are all 10 of your figures pre-ordered for the same month?
6 figmas coming out in SEPT 6 in OCT 7 in NOV that does not even include nendoroids lets say each costs 35$, that is 665$ that does not include shipping which will be between 100-200$ figma prices have also been going up, 45$ MSRP is quite common now the other thing is, half of these figmas are worthless figures like hidamari sketch are brand new and sell for 25$ because no one wants them and sellers can't get rid of them. |

All this time I though his name was Crystal Boy. Bowie makes a lot more sense.

You have to admit it's a pretty impressive Figma.
I'm glad they've been branching out in the past few years. |

Yeah, now instead of just animu girls and other manga\anime\vn characters they make figures based on movies and videogames. Can't wait for the MGS2 Snake and SH2 Pyramid-head to be released!

Great figure pre-orderd it long ago i'm a big Cobra sci-fi and old anime fan and i don't care for figures of Moe girls those can go to hell for all i care.
So something like this was made for me it's also a really unusual figure even my parents where kinda struck by how awesome it was they had never seen something like it. |

So is he named after Jim Bowie or David Bowie? |

Since Cobra is from the 70s and seems to be pretty influenced by the pop culture at the time, my guess would be David Bowie. |

At first glance, I thought it was a Peter Gabriel figma.
