Body Mould
Cobra Commander has a Cobra emblem across his chest. He has a silver face mask that often loses its colour from scratches. His blue body is often found to be discoloured (like some of the body is in this example). He came with a laser pistol and this could be be stored on his back. The back had a clever mould so that the pistol could be stored in this way. He has a dagger in sheath on his left upper thigh.
ACCESSORIES
The Cobra Commander came with a laser pistol. The laser pistol could be fitted onto the Cobra Commander’s back and stay in place. The body mould of the Commander had a hole which the laser pistol fitted into.
