Figure Releases

Version 1: early January 2004 Valor vs. Venom Wave 1 figure two-pack assortment (04/I)
Cobra Elite Desert Trooper	MOS 1: Extreme Desert Operations
	head: Sand Scorpion (04/I, 04/II), Neurotoxin (04), Desert Cobra C.L.A.W.S. (04) arms: Sand Scorpion (04/I, 04/II), Neurotoxin (04), Desert Cobra C.L.A.W.S.

	Accessories: black machine gun (88 Spearhead's), red arm attachment with black claw (new), red arm attachment with black gun barrels (new), red robotic scorpion drone backpack with hinged legs and tail (new).
	SAND SCORPION forces are products of a secret program run by DR. MINDBENDER to produce fiercer and more effective troops for the COBRA legions. Hand-picked COBRA SAND VIPER troops have their DNA recombined with that of their arachnid namesakes. Further recombination has given them scales on the sides of their bodies, which allow them to breathe in the sand. This is irritating and uncomfortable, so all SAND SCORPION troops come out of the sand in a very bad mood and ready to fight anything in front of them. Completely buried in the sand, they wait patiently in ambush, sensing the approach of a victim by feeling vibrations through the packed desert floor. They erupt out of their burrows to attack, with bio-mechanical scorpions mounted on their backs to slash with razor sharp claws and spit venom. Heavily armored, fast, and skilled in weaponry, they are formidable opponents best dealt from at a distance with a laser-guided missile.
Toy Notes: There was a push to get this wave in stores before Christmas 2003, and some were sighted as early as the second week of December while in some areas they did not hit store shelves until January 2004. Regarded as a 2004 release by Hasbro. Carded in a two-pack with Scarlett. UPC 7693055468.
