This looks really cool, but it wouldn’t surprise me if GI Joe Classified did an official Cobra version somewhat soon.

I worry if Hasbro does their own version it will have the stubby tail that they have started using for this iconic vehicle in recent years.

Nah, but it won't have lights or motorized blades, and it'll come with a female pilot that's another repaint of the Valkyrie, Ferret scout, and Claw pilot. And it will cost about $100.

Hey. I only buy these vehicles for the Valkyrie repaint. 

Also, the CLAW pilot is more of a Marine sniper repaint I think. She's not using the Valkyrie torso.

As a casual observer, I’ve noticed that 1:12 vehicles are often smaller items (unless they’re crowdfund). Wether it’s jeep, rocket launcher or chopper, it’s usually a lightweight, compact item. More likely a winged jet pack rather than an actual jet.

That’s the sad downside with 1:12, full-size vehicles would be so big and expensive to produce (and buy). Hence why many of them are pure figure-only lines.

I wish the canopy wasn't frosty like that.

The torso, arms, and waist are from the Marine Sniper, while the legs, boots, heads, helmet, are from the Valkyrie. I think the hands are from the Valkyrie, too.
