I found an old stack of my vintage GI Joe comic books and saw the offer for the mail-in Cobra Commander in it.
Not a bad deal ... 5 Flagg Points and .50 shipping/handling ...

Hooded was never available carded......I have fond memories of the mail away figures. Got both Commanders, Bludd, Duke and the MANTA that way. Same for SW Accessory pack, Boba Fett, Bossk, 4-Lom, Admiral Ackbar, The Emperor and Steppenwolf (super powers)........yeah, it was fun being a kid.

i remember getting the hooded CC from mail-away, but it must have been later in the series, because i feel like i remember my bro and i having stuff from at least 84/85 when i got him...
i did get the belt pack early on, and i remember having sweet metal GIJoe Dog Tags with a embossed logo; what were those from? i'd LOVE to have another set...
