1986: Modern Cobras
Here are my modern "25th Anniversary" style Cobras based on figures that originally debuted in 1986.
The Monkeywrench and MotorViper .....err I mean "NitroViper" are technically from the 2009 "Rise of Cobra" movie line. Hasbro would sometimes sneak figures into that line that they never got around to doing in the 25th line. Serpentor is from the DVD battles set, and is more accurate to the vintage version than the one released on a card. The Air Chariot came in a small vehicle 2 pack with the Armadillo mini tank, I think I traded away the lackluster repaint of Serpentor that came with it. The B.A.T.s were sold carded and were recently given to me by a friend.
MIA: Zarana: Was never sold in stores. There were 2 versions released, A standard version, and a "Cold Slyther" version. I think both were SDCC exclusives, which is why I don't have either.
Thrasher: Was sold in an online exclusive set of Dreadnoks. These things have a knack for coming out at times when I'm too broke to buy them- oh wait.... that's most of the time!
Zandar: See my answer above.
Dr. Mindbender: Again another figure that was only released in an online exclusive multipack. Alas, such was the fate of many of the '86 and post '86 Joes and Cobras, as the 25th anniversary line didn't focus on many characters beyond ones up to 1985.
K.I.A. : Serpentor: Killed off by Zartan, King Harold style, with an arrow through the eye.
