Diamond Select Toys' line of Cobra Kai action figures has struck a chord with collectors, '80s kids and martial arts junkies. Even though the first wave of figures won't hit stores until December, the company is revisiting the show's main protagonist, dojo owner Johnny Lawrence, with a Season 3-inspired makeover.
IGN can exclusively reveal DST's latest Cobra Kai figure, "Eagle Fang" Johnny Lawrence. Check him out, along with pics of the previously revealed Cobra Kai figures, in the slideshow gallery below:
While the standard Johnny Lawrence figure features our hero in his traditional Cobra Kai uniform, this variant (sculpted by Rocco Tartamella and Chris Dahlberg) instead draws inspiration from Season 3, when Johnny opens his Eagle Claw Karate dojo. The name probably could have used some focus-testing, but the shirt looks pretty awesome.
Eagle Claw Johnny Lawrence is exclusive to Diamond's website and the company's Previews catalog, so you should be able to preorder one through your local comic shop. Online preorders will open at midnight on September 17. The figure is priced at $29.99 and is expected to ship in Spring 2022. The standard Cobra Kai: Series 1 line will debut in December, just in time for the launch of Cobra Kai: Season 4 on Netflix.
The good news just keeps coming for Cobra Kai fans. Not only is Season 4 just around the corner, but Netflix has also given an early greenlight for Cobra Kai: Season 5. Meanwhile, YouTube Originals is finding a new direction in the wake of Cobra Kai's shift to Netflix.
