This version got me buying new figures for a brief time in the 90s. I was in high school and too old for toys by social convention, I was into music mostly. This version caught my eye though and I never had a Cobra Commander. I got a few others while they were on the pegs. Later, when nostalgia starting hitting after the line was discontinued, I picked some up at flea markets, then ebay.

Hey HCC788. The belt system that has a strap that goes across the chest is called a Sam Brown belt. It is a holster set that goes back to the Victorian era. Soldiers and police dressed with that for many years, and still can be found on some ceremony dress uniforms today!

Great review. For those that like to make custom figures, this head can be used to make the big shirtless guard from the M.A.S.S. Devise seen just after the slave girl slips Duke the golden sheet thing that is used to block Cobra's mind control that they use to force him to fight. You can combine this head with a shirtless chest such as the Mortal Kombat Johnny Cage, L. Kang, or even Road Pig. Cheers.

FINALLY!!! The epic 1993 Black Hoodie and I have a story to re-tell about it. When I first saw it was at the flagship Thrifty Drug Store at Wilshire & Mariposa here in Los Angeles (Next to the once world famous Brown Derby Restaurant and Ambassador Hotel) and with my Step-Dad to go get soems tuff this new 1993 lienup of figures was there and I saw this Black hoodie CC and went crazy and had to have it. As it would happen we were out of enough money to get it and I was told I could not get it. A multi-hour tantrum began and when we got home my Grandfather gave him some money and he went back out to get my Black Hoodie that is among the top fave of my personal vintage figures.

Great review (and cosplay), very in depth and even CCv7 got to make an appearance. I'll have to go back and check through your videos to see if you have been doing the CC version to match the Cobra Convergence season each year. If that is the case and if there is a Cobra Convergence next year I look forward to seeing the CCv7 review. I really like that figure, not as a Cobra Commander or even as a G.I.Joe figure, but the CCv7 figure to me looks like an escapee from the 60's - 70's era of Doctor Who. Since I got into Doctor Who by watching reruns of that era on my local PBS station as a kid, that time period does have a special place in my heart and in a six degrees kind of way so does CCv7. Thank you for another review and trip down memory lane.

A figure worthy of the name. The hooded figure looks far more menacing than the generic helmet version. I could do without all the junk 90's accessories. Luckily, he got a solid black figure with silver highlights and none of those awful neon designs.

Cobra Commander being a mutants under the mask gives him a certain mystique, it's right up there with both Darth Vader and Dr.Doom being disfigured. Cobra Commander wearing a mask and not being disfigured nor mutated is kind of a bland idea unless he is the evil identical twin or clone of a high profile GI-Joe member.

I always assumed Voltar's gun mold (didn't have this CC, but had the gun in yellow from Mindbender) to be some kind of silenced submachine gun. Knowing now that it originally came with Voltar's means it could be a design out of MARS.

One of the few times they tried to bring back a better look. It was odd. I wonder if there was some kind of power stuggle going on. Random good toys would come out in the 90s that looked more like 82 to 86 toys. I wonder if there was a split between the guys who wantef the neon scifi and the guys who wanted more traditional gi joe.

I have a version of this but its the v14 Joecon one. its in a much nicer deeper blue then the V5 whats interesting to me is that they used the v5 mold to make v14 and not the V6 so it has that unsightly flat pack section. it did have the cloak from the VvsV era 00's stuff which does look good on that mold

This is definitely 1 of the better figs that released in the 90s, but still not as memorable to me as the '84 hooded Coco. Those weapons trees were a huge disappointment and they were all reissues. If they issued him with a newer pistol that could attach to the back, used a little less silver and a bit more red and offered a more streamlined head with smaller eye-holes, he would've been a better, more viable version.
