The figure cards continued to have the mail order offer. You collected five medals and could then send off for a free mail order figure. The mail order figure with this series was the Infantryman.
LOOKS FAMILIAR
The Cobra looks quite similar to the Cobra Officer and I used to get mixed up with some of their parts! There are a number of differences between them. The Cobra eyes look like they have raised eyebrows and the Officer eyebrows looks more stern. Below is a picture showing the differences.

Despite being released in the U.K. in 1985, Cobra’s were first released in the U.S. in 1982.
