Description

G.I. Joe Cobra Commander v3 AFA 85 **2nd Highest Grade, Only 4 Graded Higher ** (Hasbro, 1987). Cobra Commander returned in 1987 with a bold new battle armor design, trading his hood and helmet for high-tech protection suited for front-line combat. This third version of the iconic villain became a staple of late-'80s Cobra forces, combining sleek sculpting with menacing silver and blue deco. Packaged on a 34-back card featuring the "Fridge" mail-away promotion, this release captures a key moment in the evolution of G.I. Joe's central antagonist. Graded AFA 85 NM+ with subgrades of C85 B85 F90, this example ranks among the best known. With only 4 graded higher, it stands as the second-highest grade recorded, making it a top-tier piece for collectors seeking elite-condition Cobra leadership.
