It's a life-long dream come true for me. Back in the early 1980s we all wished we had more than the single Cobra trooper each of us had. Parents didn't understand the GI Joe dynamic: that each Joe figure was an individual, but the Cobra troopers were supposed to be an army. How could we expect any different? Only the most nerdy, indulgent parent would have spoiled us the way we wanted.
I tried collecting a CT army for a while on ebay, but it was just too expensive.
When the new ones (25th anniversary) came out in the last decade I was ecstatic. Not only was this an opportunity to collect the army I wanted, but I now had a "grown-up" allowance. I'm still working on the army, but I'm probably done adding troopers (I'm up to 24!). I want a classic army: HISS tanks, FANGs, Rattlers, Stingers, ASPs, with troopers, Seagees, etc. to fill it out.
My hope is that by sharing pics like this, other fans from my generation that don't have the time or fortunes to collect the army of their dreams can enjoy a piece of the action.

Well, I perfectly understand that! My family was a bit on the low fund side of things, when me and my bro got a toy it was for our birthdays or christmas, sometimes easter. Now though I have 5 Cobra Vipers, 2 Alley Vipers, 7 Inferno BATS and 2 regular BATS, 3 Trouble Bubbles, 2 CLAWS and a Stun, I have much more to get before I'm done.
I never even owned a single Cobra Trooper, not even a Crimson Guard or a Baroness! But I still have my old toys that I never could part with, the stuff I just put down was the ones I just recently got! Maybe sometime in the future I will post up what I got, but like how you did with displaying!

Of course! I'm gonna start up again on my collection once I'm done getting my Cobra Trooper costume!

Nice...I've got one of those started too, another life-long dream to be finished some day.
