Yeah even back then I thought, "hmm, a turd?" I think it was not just how bad the movie handled Cobra-La but how bad the figures looked that really made Cobra-La not work. Had it been done better and the figures had been made better, there would probably be plenty of fans. But we got what we got and Golobulous will always be thought of as a turd before anything else. I hope Hasbro makes a new updated version that just totally blows anything away so we can erase the original from our minds forever.
It wasn't that the movie made Golob/Cobra La bad, but they're just horribly bad ideas for GI Joe.
Anyway, on to the figure. Yeah, they cheaped out and it seems like this figure had prototype images showing an articulated tail, actually. or maybe he was an early prototype for hasbro to enter the prophylactic industry. i can't believe i typed that without a red squiggly.
Thankfully the Rocky movie line came and went, so this is easily the worst Burgess Meredith figure ever made.
