1997 brought GI Joe back to store shelves after a two year hiatus. The new line included several repaints of classic figures. One of the characters included in the line was Cobra Commander in his 1987 battle armor. However, it seems that was not the original plan. In concept pictures from 1996-97, Cobra Commander is shown in his classic battle mask look from 1982-83. His uniform is a darker blue and the highlights are red and bronze.
I've always been fascinated by unproduced figures such as this. Even though it is a simple repaint, I wanted to do it to include in my ever growing 1997 ME customs collection. Thanks to YoJoe.com for the reference pic: The last pic is the Cobra Commander that we were supposed to get and the Cobra that we did get, in modern form. Enjoy, OB

If you could get him gold chromed on the face mask you would probably get ridiculous offering on him. Either way he looks great.

Really cool! Including the 97 reference pic made me appreciate the direction of this custom.

yeah, I remember seeing those pictures and wondering why Hasbro made the change.
Looks really good. Now go do the unproduced Alley Viper that was supposed to come with the Rage.

If I remember right they claimed to have lost the mold for the shield Cobra Commander.
