Description

G.I. Joe Cobra Rage AFA 80 ** POP 5, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 9 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1990). The Cobra Rage rolled onto the battlefield in 1990 as Cobra's urban assault tank, designed for speed, intimidation, and brute force. With its menacing profile, rotating cannon, and aggressive red-and-tan color scheme, the Rage embodied Cobra's strategy of overwhelming style and firepower. Its street-level combat role made it a standout among early '90s vehicles-an emblem of Cobra's shift toward gritty, close-quarters warfare. This vehicle has been graded AFA 80, certified in NM condition. It is one of only five examples to achieve this level, making it POP 5, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 9 Higher in the AFA census. A prime example from the later years of the vintage line, the Cobra Rage represents the escalating arms race between G.I. Joe and Cobra in the brand's twilight era. Equal parts menace and nostalgia, this tank is ready to roll into any serious collection-proof that Cobra's chaos always came with class.
