Super7’s Cobra Mothership Prepares To Take Flight

Welcome to the table,

COBRA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! When I was a kid I would scream that in my head all the time. I had seen the G.I.Joe cartoons in syndication so much, and while I was more into supernatural and mutant storylines, the absolute wildcard that Cobra Commander was, coupled with his strange raspy high-pitched voice, always delighted me.

The G.I.Joes were the “good guys” but they always seemed to have lame-looking gear and costumes compared to the serpent-themed strangeness that was Cobra. Also, Cobra tried to make a warlord using using DNA of some of history’s greatest conquerors, such as Napoleon, Ivan the Terrible, and Alexander the Great.

Then, when they had a human clone from all these people, they put him in a giant snake suit with a cape. The branding from this organization was so consistent you would think there was an entire marketing team behind them within the fantasy world they existed in.

The team over at Super7 has captured yet another fun Cobra-branded offering in the form of the Cobra Mothership. Currently on Pre-Order, I got a chance to see this thing at New York Comicon this year and these digital renders do not do it justice. This is one huge and amazingly designed toy that is going to make some of the hard-core G.I. Joe collectors really happy.

This thing looks like it flew right out of the screen from the opening of the cartoon. Super7 custom built this to scale with 3.75” ReAction Figures as well as vintage G.I. Joe O-Ring Figures in mind. I have seen this in person and the Cobra Mothership is a massive 32” in diameter and comes with three vertical Thruster display stands to display your ship as it begins to take flight.

The ship has multiple hidden defense turrets, 16 light-up thrusters on the underside of the ship, and a posterior ramp that lowers to deploy your army of Cobra allies. Remove the five exterior panels on the top of the ship to reveal the aircraft’s awesome interior which includes a Command Center with a rotating Giant Globe, an armory to store the arsenal of included weapon accessories, a prison cell with functional handcuffs to keep captives secure, explosives storage on either side of the posterior ramp, and more!

Since every vehicle needs a crew, the Cobra Mothership will also come with an exclusive Cobra Viper Gunner ReAction Figure and an exclusive Cobra Viper Gunner O-Ring Figure as well. So you are getting exclusive figures along with this spectacular vehicle.

Until next time, there is a casette tape somewhere with me rambling for over an hour in a Cobra Commander voice. I talk about how Destro needs to take me to the SPCA so I can adopt all the puppies and then go to Circuit City to buy the parts for lasers so I can make laser puppies to defeat the G.I. Joes.

Cobra Commander was the best and the worst at the same time, and I will forever love him for that.
