Description

G.I. Joe Cobra Mamba AFA 85 ** POP 5, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1987). A sleek, sinister emblem of Cobra's aerial dominance, the Mamba remains one of the most distinctive aircraft in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero arsenal. Released in 1987 as part of Series 6, this twin-cockpit attack helicopter featured detachable gyrocopters, modular weapon pods, and menacing black-and-purple styling that made it instantly recognizable on any Joe battlefield. Its design stood as a triumph of imagination and engineering, embodying the era's fascination with complex play mechanics and villainous innovation. Graded AFA 85 NM+ and featuring the Live the Adventure offer, this example is preserved in exceptional condition and ranks among the finest known survivors, POP 5, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher. A stunning specimen from the height of Hasbro's creative peak, the Cobra Mamba captures everything that made late-1980s G.I. Joe vehicles legendary - daring design, imposing presence, and an unmistakable sense of danger in every rotor spin. A true air superiority collectible for Cobra commanders and Joe loyalists alike.
