Description

G.I. Joe Cobra Imp AFA 85 ** POP 5, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1988). Introduced in 1988's Series 7 lineup, the Cobra Imp was a compact yet devastating artillery vehicle designed for maximum firepower and battlefield intimidation. Its blocky tracked chassis and triple-missile launcher made it a standout among Cobra's armored ranks - a perfect blend of mobility and menace. The vehicle's unique "cluster mine" payload and futuristic aesthetic embodied Hasbro's late-'80s engineering creativity, offering collectors and fans alike a glimpse into Cobra's ever-expanding arsenal of specialized warfare machines. Graded AFA NM+ 85, this example ranks as the second highest grade known in the population report, with only one graded higher. The acrylic case shows a tiny chip in the bottom right back corner, though it remains structurally sound and fully intact. A highlight from the later golden era of A Real American Hero, the Cobra Imp remains one of the line's most visually striking mid-size vehicles - compact in scale but loaded with presence. For collectors seeking high-grade Cobra armor with distinctive design and firepower flair, this Imp is locked, loaded, and ready to roll into your collection.
