The Sea Slug figure was one of the most important figures at the end of my childhood collection. While his place as the de facto leader of Cobra has been taken over by other figures, the overall quality of the Sea Slug figure still remains. While the colors are offbeat, the purple, yellow, silver and red really create a stark character. So, I still enjoy the figure, even if his time in the spotlight is past.
Here's some random photos I've taken of the Sea Slug over the years. I need to pick up a new Sea Ray, though, as my childhood version is beat up and has now discolored. But, the Sea Slug is still a cool figure, even if he's not that popular.
Nailed it. Not very popular, but offbeat in a very cool way.

This guy *is* still cheap to army build, even with his pistol. I'm my head-canon, Sea Slugs are Dr. Mindbender's personal militia/bodyguards, similar to the CGs for Cobra Commander and the IGs for Destro. The shade of purple used on the Sea Slug makes him match Mindbender well.
ReplyDeletePlus, Sea Slugs are jacked.
So they make believable bodyguards.
Sea Slugs are great in the water. They can be good or bad with no Cobra logo.
