Hey Tankers...
I've been kicking around for years the idea of getting a Cobra Mamba or 2 to add to my collection. Now more than ever I need some kind of Cobra Helicopter for my Cobra Aircraft Carrier. Does anyone know if the Mamba will fit the 25th Joes? I'd hate to buy one from EvilBay just to find out it's a wash. Also, any review of this bird or suggestions for things I should watch out for in buying one? Many thanks, guys & gals. |

I seriously doubt a Modern Joe would fit in the main cockpit. Gyro-Viper is a tight fit himself, as I recall.
Maybe the pods, but I'm not sure about those, either. My Mamba's in storage. The Mamba is one of the most underrated COBRA vehicles. I keep hoping BroJob will re-issue it.

My Air Viper from the Defend cobra island fits with some SERIOUS bending and all. Same thing with Wild Weasel (hardest to put in since his legs) and the Firebat pilot. It's their helmet that will give you problems. You really have to sort of have to put them in the laying position.
BUT normal cobra troops fit fine in all of the cockpits. So go for it and get a mamba. Just make sure to get a figure with a small helmet to fit in the cockpit. |

25th Joes fit just fine, as long as they're not too big. A Greenshirt with no webgear fits in both the cockpit and sidepods with room to spare.

Of course they didn't make a Cobra Aircraft Carrier. I have one planned for when I get back from Iraq. It's going to be true Cobra style- a Submarine Aircraft Carrier!
So far I have an Old School Night Raven, 9 Python Conquests, 5 Rattlers, 7 Flight Pods, 2 Fangs, and a CLAW for my Air wing. I need a full- size helicopter to round it out, and I'm trying to get a few of those SU27 Flankers (if I can figure out how to NOT pay 100 bucks each just for shipping them) Thanks for the advice guys. I will grab a Mamba on EvilBay and have the wife add it to the growing pile of boxes in my basement awaiting my return! |

I'd kill for a new Mamba in the original colors. We need more purple in the current line.

If you are looking for a vintage Cobra Mamba,
I have 4 that will most likely be for sale or trade pretty soon. 2 of them are 100% complete and the other 2 are 99% complete (only missing the black exhaust piece for both of them). All 4 come with complete Gyro-Viper and his helmet. No filecards, blueprints/instruction sheets or original boxes though.
