Description

G.I. Joe Cobra Maggot AFA 85 ** POP 6, Highest Grade ** (Hasbro, 1987). Released in 1987, the Cobra Maggot was a modular, multi-role artillery vehicle that reflected Cobra's increasingly aggressive and tactical presence on the battlefield. Designed to separate into three distinct components-a self-propelled gun, troop transport, and artillery emplacement-the Maggot offered both play value and battlefield versatility. Frequently featured in G.I. Joe product catalogs and comics, it remains one of the more innovative Cobra vehicles from the mid-'80s Real American Hero line. Graded AFA 85 NM+ with subgrades of B85 W85 F90, this example is exceptionally well-preserved. With a population of just 6 and none graded higher, it stands as the highest graded example on record, making it a premium piece for collectors seeking condition rarity and unique Cobra engineering.
