GI Joe Classified - Snake Supreme Cobra Commander Pt.2

I've been having a hard time finding decent backgrounds for action figure pics lately but may have stumbled across a solution at my local Dollar Tree. These textured backsplash panels make for a great backdrop and could even be used as diorama castle walls. 
I recommend using 4 panels when photographing 6" figures, especially for wide shots. I only used 2 and found myself having to bunch the figures together to get them all in the frame. Not a bad looking background, though. 
I really like this version of Cobra Commander. The soft goods cape and staff reminded me of the 3.75" Pursuit of Cobra figure. 
My Classified collection so far!
Many thanks to Toy Box for the hook up! Snake Supreme Cobra Commander is an amazing figure and one that I highly recommend 🐍🐍🐍

    Those backsplash panels are perfect. Any other designs/textures besides the one you show which is awesome as well.

    I'm subscribed to a few YouTube channels where they make dioramas... and have seen them use Dollar Tree items on multiple occasions. I should hit it up more often. That figure is awesome! Love the detailed artwork on his chestplate.

    They'd make great backdrops for cards,too, Fuji. And yes, C.C. Supreme is insanely cool🔥 These Classified figures are works of art.

    Great for dioramas, terrible for kitchens!

    Have you tried them on walls before? I thought the same. I figured they wouldn't have good adhesive. I haven't tried sticking them to anything yet.

    I've seen these at the Dollar Tree and wondered how flimsy they were. Looks like they may not be the best for home improvement projects, but they work great as a set piece!

    They're pretty flimsy.The plastic reminds me of those old costume masks we used to wear for Halloween. A bit tougher though.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
