TRU.com has updated the pics of the Giant Cobra Playset (temple) to reflect the actual product, not the mockup.

The big difference is 2 completely different figures than what was pictured before.

I was unaware until I was checking to see when Walmart began its Christmas layaway that TRU also has a layaway program. The gears are now turning in my head and I'm thinking, hmm maybe I can get all those new toys.

So, what; the main door folds back if a fig is set on the peg? Is there an action feature for the alcove on the left? Anybody else notice the AlleyViper backpack on the weapons sprue?

The door operates by lowering the stone head above it.

The Alley Viper backpack has been part of Chap Mei's accessory pack out since the 90's.

Oh, snap; I think the hovercraft just shot to the tippy-top of my Get It Now, Fool list.

It shot to the how do I talk my wife into two of these list. That thing is awesome.

Here is the new playset all boxed up.


and unboxed...


The temple is pretty awesome. The plastic used is a bit flimsy so I wouldn't recommend standing on it. So the temple head is actually a lever that you can push down and it will rotate the door. I think the lizard, seal, and hidden chamber entry are glow in the dark but I have not confirmed that yet. The sculpting is really good and has a lot of details added that are a bit hard to see but will look really great with a little bit of paint. The extra tree stumps are actually functional and the tree can be moved and inserted into any of the other stumps.



It comes with 5 static monkeys in different poses and a giant scorpion, just not a radioactive giant scorpion.


The two figures that come with the set are the new black adventurer who really needs a name. I was thinking about naming him Ray Arnold after Sam Jackson's character in Jurassic Park. It also comes with good o'l Trekker Bill from the many other Animal Planet and Wild Adventure lines.


So here is Bill standing on the rotating doorway.


Push the temple head down and now he's gone.


Here is the tree now moved over to a different stump.


Giant two headed snake


And I mean Giant! Mr. Arnold for scale.


It also has some cool markings on the back.


Backside of the temple. There is actually a lot of great detail added here. Hieroglyphs on the wall, Snakes sculpted into the roots and on the floor.


This particular set of roots has some more snakes sculpted on and is able to be rotated to cover the secret entrance.


Giant corn spider and web.


sprue of snakes for more reptilian fun.


sprue of handy adventure gear.


Useless orange tiger striped mini helicopter. This thing will go in the pile of other crappy vehicles companies pack in their sets...


Ray taking the flying tiger for a spin...


The treasure that lured the hapless adventurers into the giant two-headed cobra's trap...
