Cobra Army Update: New Additions to the Ranks!
If you grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s, chances are G.I. Joe action figures played a huge role in your childhood battles. For collectors like me, the thrill of hunting down vintage Cobra figures never gets old—and today, I’m excited to share some new recruits for my Cobra army!
The Latest Recruits
This recent haul includes several classic Cobra figures that are iconic among G.I. Joe fans:
-
Cobra B.A.T.s (Battle Android Troopers) – These robotic soldiers, first introduced in the mid-1980s, were Cobra’s answer to the Joes’ overwhelming numbers. Their translucent red armor and holographic chest panels give them that perfect retro-sci-fi look.
-
Cobra Vipers – The backbone of Cobra’s infantry forces. These blue-and-yellow troopers were among the coolest enemy soldiers to ever hit toy shelves. Their helmets and tactical gear scream classic military villain.
I even managed to snag a few accessories, including those bright red weapons that make the B.A.T.s look even more menacing!
Why I Love These Figures
Cobra figures like these are essential for any serious G.I. Joe collector. They’re versatile for dioramas, display shelves, or even a nostalgic trip back to the days when you’d pit them against Duke and Snake Eyes on the living room floor.
What makes these pieces extra special is how well they hold up visually. The colors still pop, the articulation is classic, and that ‘80s design charm is unbeatable.
Building the Ultimate Cobra Army
My goal is to create a full Cobra squad worthy of a display shelf that screams “Cobra will conquer!” These additions bring me one step closer. The more B.A.T.s and Vipers, the more intimidating the Cobra ranks look—and let’s be honest, you can never have too many troopers.
Calling All Collectors

Yo Joe? Nah—COBRAAAAA!
