Very cool review of the Cobra Stinger and the Stinger Driver. It's definitely a must have for it's awesome color and features. Thumbs up for your video review.
So I've noticed that on a lot of reviews people complain about "exposed" figures due to lack of cover such as in the case of the cannon seat on the havoc. But realistically speaking, as a toy, you'd want easy access to your figures, so a top or cover of some kind can often be cumbersome and it tends to be set aside during play.
I feel the same about the Joe's and Cobra having different vehicles. The VAMP and Stinger are the only time I thought them sharing vehicle molds worked. Having a troop stand behind where the rockets launch seems dangerous and impractical but then so would storing petrol cans there.
I didn't even think of this replaced by THE STUN. Makes sense. This would have been a great excuse though for "coexist". I love both vehicles. I agree. Cobra vehicles worked with black. I also love them maroon and dark blue.
this was my favorite of the jeeps. the paint scheme made it look tougher than it was. i didn't own this version. i had the late 90's version called the rattler. it came with a re-issue of jinx, but in all black. it was a cobra vehicle still.
HCC, Thank you for pointing out the weak spots on this vehicle. I wouldn't have thought to ask. What is the purpose behind the Pack Ratt missile seperating?
This is one I'm trying to aquire..It seems Cobra just didn't have enough vehicles compared to GI Joe...If Cobra got a Stinger then they got a Rolling Thunder or something else huge..so we had to buy more than one Cobra vehicle to try to even things out.
@HoodedCobraCommander788 I WOULD LOVE A REVIEW OF ALL THE VARIATIONS OF COBRA COMMANDER NOT JUST THE VINTAGE RUN BUT THE MOVIE VERSIONS, CARTOON, COMIC VERSIONS AS WELL. HOW THEY STACK UP AND COMPARE TO ONE ANOTHER.
I probably won't do the Canadian Cobra MOBAT since it is international. I want to do the CAT, though. I just need to get one complete. I had my hands on an incomplete one, but I didn't buy it. It was nice, but it was missing the gun cap and battery cover-- the hardest parts to find. Eventually I will get a complete one. This Stinger review is an old video. I may re-do this review.
Well if ya get one without a battery cover I may be able to help ya I have a CAT that I tried to customize into a Canadian Cobra Jet Black but failed miserably and was able to pick up the real thing back in 2014-So yeah now on gun cap that might be a tall order LOL
But if you have parents who are problems & your country is in transformation phase you must be very patient & be careful for toy sellers ... They was Fox in bad name of that word am tell ya ...
Sometimes in your videos you say you want the vehicles to be more military authentic as possible thwn you kind of revert from that saying you wish they would have done this instead would have been nice to have both yes but they did do their best at making things at least in the beginning as military like as possible

Love his early work
It's wild going back and watching some of these early HCC788 videos. What a ride it's been, these last 8 years.
I'm 45 years old. I own a business. I am busy. It's 11:30PM. And I'm watching every minute of this.

Love this vehicle. What makes it great is it's simplicity and real world theme.
This was very much one of my favorite toys back in the day.

I just got one at Goodwill this week. Only .99 cent! I was so excited. Its a great looking vehicle.

They love the rocket smells like I love cap gun smells.
The difference is I get to keep my face.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense. The rocket would blast off and melt the guys face behind it Raiders of the Lost Ark style.
For some reason when you put all three black vehicles together I got excited.
The ROC Steel Crusher Van looks good displayed with the Stinger, HISS and FANG too.
I like the cobra stinger. What a great toy.
I didn't even think of this replaced by THE STUN.
Makes sense.
This would have been a great excuse though for "coexist". I love both vehicles.

HCC, the COBRA S.T.I.N.G.E.R. - Strategic Tactically Integrated Neutralizing Ground Enforcer w/ Rocket (betcha didn't know that?) ;-)

awesome review man I loved this one as a kid man
+M.G.Villan Thanks! This is an older review. I hadn't quite figured out my style yet.

Cool! I did a review for this one as well! I have the driver too!
Problem with the back foot pegs is that if you use them you can't fire any missiles unless you wanted to burn him.
Agreed.
I prefer the look of the PACRAT missiles on this to the included missiles.
HCC nice that ya like the black Cobra Vehicles-btw ever do a review of the CAT-1985 or the Canadian Cobra Battle Tank?

Awesome 👏
I like to think that it is a captured Joe vehicle.
Yup Hasbro was just Trying to Cut Corners on Money. Just to Downsize.The Budget just like Most of Anything with most of Things.
Still Sweet. Recycling part's over.
Still Love My G.i. Joe
I think I used to grease my jeeps because they would squeak so much
Hm the similarity of Stinger is not hurt too much if you are older kid than 9 years old ...
But if you have parents who are problems & your country is in transformation phase you must be very patient & be careful for toy sellers ... They was Fox in bad name of that word am tell ya ...
The back pegs behind the missiles don't make sense. The missiles firing would melt the guys face off Raiders of the Lost Ark style. Pretty dumb.
