Today brings us "Sea Slug", the pilot of the Cobra Sea Ray.
Looks: The blurry picture can't disguise that this guy is wearing a purple jumpsuit. It's kind of hard to take these pictures at work and run the risk of people asking what I'm doing. So yeah...purple jumpsuit, with matching giant purple helmet (giving him a giant head). He also has strangely muscular upper arms...but whatever to that. It's a good thing he sits in a vehicle, as I'm sure he's the laughing stock of all the other Cobra soldiers. I should probably mention, Sea Slug is not a singular character, but an entire platoon of specialized Sea Ray pilots. I guess it's kind of better to be part of a group of poorly dressed soldiers, if nothing else.
Specialty: Eels are Cobras underwater infantry. and Sea Slugs are more advanced Eels. Nothing wrong there. They also pilot the Sea Ray, which is a "tactical submersible" with a bunch of missiles. Sea Slug gets a pass in the specialty area.
Character: As one of the nameless, faceless legions of Cobra, there isn't much in the way of character to work with here. If it means anything, he comes with a ridiculously oversized pistol. I don't know, it just seems like Sea Slug was slapped together as a bonus figure so whoever bought the Sea Ray had someone to pilot it.
Overall, the only problem with this figure is his uniform, and oddly disproportionate body. He's the type of guy you leave in a box and forget about.
