    Good to hear about the elbows. Others are saying theirs are fine as well. Looks like a batch problem maybe?

    Yeah I can bend my Khan's arms all the way as well. They're very tight though.

    Interesting. I just bent both his arms all the way in and they're fine, just really tight I guess and I was afraid they'd break.

    Just received my Kobra Khan today.

    Awesome figure. Easily one of my favorites. I haven't had time to play with him much, but here's my first impressions.

    First, the bad.

    Kobra Khan has very limited head movement. That's disappointing.

    There's virtually no up or down movement. You can't even tilt his head to one side. He only has left and right head movement.

    As big as Leech's head is, he has up and down movement, as well as slight side to side.

    Secondly, Kobra Khan has a much more limited ab crunch as well. He's got decent forward movement, but not much back movement with it.

    Those two things are very irritating.

    With a character that's all about speed and agility like Kobra Khan, I want maximum pose ability. He doesn't have that. He-Man and Fisto can get better pose-ability than Kobra Khan.

    Now those two things hardly ruin this gorgeous figure, but they are worth noting in my opinion.

    Now for the good...pretty much everything else, I'm very happy to say.

    The sculpting is simply gorgeous. Kobra Khan truly benefits from his design in that he's hard to screw up no matter the style. He looks great in 200x, vintage, or whatever. And that's remains true here.

    I love his colors, so vivid and appealing.

    I think Khan's headsculpt is one of the best in the line. The only thing I think I would have liked would have been an articulated mouth.

    The hooded head is just as good. It's pretty much flip a coin and decide which one I like better. Thankfully, I have multiples of Khan.

    All the joints on my figure are tight.

    The paint apps are also good.

    The lizard and the new gun sculpt just add to the package.

    All in all, Khan is one of my top favorites in the line.

    It would have been very hard to get a Kobra Khan figure. The only thing would maybe have been a hinged jaw, and perhaps double jointed knees and elbows.

    All in all, Kobra Khan is my favorite figure this year so far.

    Now bring on Stinkor!

    I love Kobra Khan!! The sculpting on this guy is fantastic- I really like how the eyes were done. He looks really, really cool.

    I've been displaying him with the hooded head not just because it looks cooler, but because it gives the little lizard (I keep calling him Pixel) more stability since his tail tucks under KK's hood.

    The elbow joints are kind of funny on this figure, though. I'm having a hard time getting him in really good shooting poses because of the elbows.

    Got my sub yesterday. He really is awesome. Paints and sculpt are perfection. Like Pixel Dan said, these are some of the tightest joints of any figure I've received. I can't wait to get more snake men this year!

    The only complaint about mine is that it seems the gun is actually painted rather than molded in the red/orange plastic and some of the paint has chipped off. Be carefully pulling it out of the plastic.

    Other than that I'm a happy camper. Just waiting on my second one so that I have a hooded one to display with the Snake Men and a classic version to display with skeletor's crew.

    Sigh,

    Still no fig, charge, or shipping notice for my Sub. So much for waiting until they're in stock to ship them all. But I'm happy you guys have yours. Hopefully mine will arrive before April.

    Aye.

    Yes. I do think I'm looking forward to him the most of any figure this year so far.

    Still nothing. Was he delayed or not? If he was delayed, what do you guys have yours already? If he wasn't, why has my sub not shipped yet?!
    Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

    My Kobra Kahn came today. He is a very nice figure, mine does have a loose ankle but it's not to bad. The forearm movement is hindered and I'm not sure why but it's more then I thought it would be from Pixel Dan's video. When it's all said and done I really like him.

    The charge for my Subscription Khan (as well as my sale Teela) has fallen off my card

    Both orders are "In process"

    I don't understand . I know they said delays but it's kind of annoying that some subscribers have him and others don't.

    I like him with the red whip. That's a great idea

    I really don't get this, what happened to "not shipping until all figures have arrived at DR?"

    Is it to much to ask that, Mattel does what it says it's going to do? I know I have my KK but this really is not cool for those that do not.

    I got my Kobra Kan. Unfortunately, his ankles are loose. What the heck? I thought the new ankle joint system was designed to prevent loose ankles? Other than the ankles, the figure is OK. Anyone else get one with loose ankles or was it just me? I remember Pixel Dan saying in his review that the ankles weren't as tight as usual for the new ankle joint.

    That double bladed axe you gave to Kokbra Khan looks great, SCB ! Where does it come from (what line, and what figure) ?
