The 1991 Cobra Commander is an under rated gem. Few people pay attention to it as it's a non-traditional look for the Commander. But, the colors are very Cobra and are a great way to have a field ready Cobra Commander. Being a 1991 figure, he's not overly easy to find. But, he's still a lot cheaper than a high quality 1983 release. And, he perfectly matches up with figures from 1991 through 1994.
There's some nice work on this figure out there. Much of it shows how this figure can really work as the Commander. And, you can see how well he does integrate with later figures in the line.

Would have been so much better with face plate a different color than red, and not being able to see the face at all.
ReplyDeleteThose two things spoil it.
This is what happens when Cobra Commander stops being polite... and starts getting real...
ReplyDelete...Really into disco... 🕺
...and really into creatine supplements 💪
He was actually a Battle Corps release in Europe.
ReplyDeleteThe "tm" by the Cobra Logo is strange, as they rarely did such a thing.
I will long remember how one Joe fan who had this as a kid and removed the face plate called him "Old Man Cobra" because the face looked old.
