Does anyone like the yellow coloring of the "comic" figures (whether ARAH or 25th)?

The yellow in the book was clearly meant to be tan. Why Hasbro needs to slavishly color webgear and belts the same mix of Y ink that was dropped on the page during the 1980s is beyond me. At the time printing processes required a limited color scheme... now, not so much.

Did anyone out there wet their pants because Hasbro was finally producing Cobras with yellow straps???

I like 'em. The Cobra yellow gives me a "Command Gold" designation... Don't mind them on the Joes, since they're not necessarily as bright. I really like the comic pack red collars on the Joes, so I'm not too hung up on strap colors.

I prefer a brighter Cartoon/Comic pack look to Joes anyway, but I do try to keep purples, oranges, yellows and reds as the frosting and not the cake. And I'm pretty much totally anti-neon (Think Sci-Fi V1)...

The yellow straps & comic-based coloring suck.

Be super careful about the heat level. I had some trooper webgear warp and shrink when I tried dying it.
